Ivana died at a lovely time for the Chump Family
Ivana is buried at the first hole.
Trump hates taxes as much as his wives.
Ivana died over two weeks ago. Trump’s and the kids depositions were postponed. He has been to rallies, conferences and golfed with terrorists.
Ivana’s *actual* next of kin–her still-living mom & 3 kids–or the executor of her estate agreed to her getting buried at the first hole!!!!!
Trump buried his ex-wife Ivana — whom he raped & cheated on with Marla Maples — at his Bedminster Club we now know as a cemetery company for a tax break!!!
Trump had Ivana CREMATED… so what the hell was stuffed in that casket he had buried under his golf course?

Then, he played golf on her grave while taking Saudi Arabian blood-money. Trump can have rallies and participate in the Saudi-backed LIV golf tournament. However, his critical testimony to the NY Attorney General’s office is still delayed because of his first wife’s death 3 weeks ago.
Brooke Harrington@EBHarrington As a tax researcher,
I was skeptical of rumors Trump buried his ex-wife in that sad little plot of dirt on his Bedminster, NJ golf course just for tax breaks.
So I checked the NJ tax code & folks… it’s a trifecta of tax avoidance. Property, income & sales tax, all eliminated.
Burying her in that sad hole at the same golf course just days before the Saudi backed golf tournament kicks off.
Full text of NJ tax code for land used for human burial.
No stipulation regarding a minimum # of human remains necessary for the tax breaks to kick in—looks like one corpse will suffice to make at least 3 forms of tax vanish.
For those interested, @propublica published a Trump Family Trust document which shows they have sought to designate a property in Hackettstown, NJ (20 miles from Bedminster) as a non-profit cemetery company. This all explains why he’s been going to the town with various plans for 10 cemetery plots and 1000 plots and finally 500, over the last 20 years.
The mystery of Donald Trump and the New Jersey cemetery
Trump, Tucker Carlson, and Marjorie Taylor Greene laughing as the crowd at the LIV Golf Invitational chants, “Let’s go Brandon.”
Trump also owns a small goat herd to cheat on his property tax bill by registering his Bedminster golf course as a “working farm”

Exxon just made $115.68 billion in revenue in the last quarter. Hey Pat Toomey, you said your tax incentives under trump gave companies tax incentives so they would buy more equipment. They are not. All oil companies have had record profits and buying back STOCK. STOP LYING TO AMERICA.
Justice Alito Mocks World Leaders Who Criticized Court’s Abortion Ruling. Christian Nationalism a terrorist organization. Trump’s criminal culpability must be prosecuted.
Alito is a pig.
Uncle Tom is a pig.
All handmaidens are pigs.

You don’t get losers like Trump without Reagan. The Reagan Revolution changed America’s values to ‘greed is good.’ the Reagan Revolution of the 1980s was a revolution in the truest sense of the word.
How can we take them back?

Official Portrait of President Ronald Reagan

Many Americans, looking at the GOP’s position on the issues, find themselves confused.
Why would the party claiming to be the last bastion of reverence for “life” in America also be the party that supports 50,000 American gun deaths every year, the leading cause of death among children and more than every other developed country in the world combined? Why would they support anti-abortion laws that don’t even contain exceptions for the life of the mother? Why do they fight so hard to keep healthcare out of the reach of so many Americans (12 GOP-controlled states still refuse to offer Medicaid — 90% paid for by the federal government — to their low-income working people)?
Why would the party that claims patriotism and the flag as their logos work so hard to make it difficult for people to vote? Why would they vote against supporting our veterans during their time of need? Why would they support authoritarian Russia and vote against aid to democratic Ukraine? Why do they celebrate an autocrat and fascist like Viktor Orbán and invite him to speak at their CPAC convention when he’s openly taking Russia’s side in its conflict with Europe and Ukraine; has shut down independent newspapers, TV, and radio in Hungary; and now preaches against the dangers of “race mixing”?
Why would the party that claims to stand up for the “average American” and “the little guy” work so hard to prevent working people from having union representation in the workplace? Why do they support giant monopolistic corporations that force the average American to pay more than $5000 a year over citizens of Europe or Canada for everything from airfare to cell service to pharmaceuticals to access to the internet? Why do they constantly try to reduce taxes on the morbidly rich while only throwing the smallest of bones to average working people and sticking our children with the debt?
New Jersey Congressman Bill Pascrell recently put together a “Republican Vote Tracker” that’s become a meme across the internet. He points out that the Republican vote totals just during this congressional session tell their own story:
0% of Republicans voted for cheaper gas
0% voted for cheaper insulin
0% voted for child tax credits to help out young families
0% voted to end gerrymanders
0% voted for the Voting Rights Act
1% voted to fight domestic terrorism
4% voted for background checks to buy assault weapons
6% voted for more baby formula
13% voted to stop domestic violence
16% voted for veteran’s cancer care
23% voted to keep gay marriage legal
32% voted to uphold the 2020 election
Why?
When you do a deep dive into the guts of the GOP’s policy operations, the answer to all these questions becomes crystal clear: the Reagan Revolution of the 1980s was a revolution in the truest sense of the word.
It was a revolution in values as much as in economic and political policy.
Prior to Reaganism (aka neoliberalism), Republicans believed that their job and the work of our government they controlled was to serve the needs of the American people and keep our country united around a common set of values and goals. My dad’s GOP of the 1950s supported community and working class people.
Republican President Dwight Eisenhower, for example, continued the work started by Republican President Teddy Roosevelt back in 1901 and his distant cousin Democratic President Franklin Roosevelt in the 1930s and 1940s.
Teddy started the break-up of the most egregiously giant corporate monopolies, made it a felony for corporations to fund political candidates for federal office, and Franklin raised taxes on the morbidly rich to a 91% bracket on income over around $3 million a year in today’s dollars.
