IN THE ROUGH
Donald Trump has poured hundreds of millions of dollars into his struggling Scottish golf clubs. Lawmakers in Edinburgh want to know where that cash came from.

...the self-proclaimed “king of debt” typically takes out large loans to finance the ventures he does bankroll. In this case, Trump’s company proceeded with the development on its own. And it says it paid for everything in cash.
Such was also the case for Turnberry, the historic golf resort, an hour south of Glasgow, that Trump purchased in 2014 for $60 million.
....
Like other Trump wagers, his Scottish gamble has so far not worked out. Both resorts are bleeding millions annually. 
....
If business was lackluster before, it’s dismal now that the coronavirus pandemic has all but halted the Scottish golf season, at least as far as international travelers are concerned.

Recently, a new—and perhaps bigger—threat to Trump has emerged in Scotland. Scottish lawmakers are pushing to peer into Trump’s finances using an anti-money-laundering statute typically employed against kleptocrats, oligarchs, and crime kingpins. Their question: Where did the hundreds of millions Trump poured into his Scottish courses actually come from?
...
This February, a group of Scottish Parliament members began making the case that Scotland should use an investigative tool under UK law called an Unexplained Wealth Order (UWO) to scrutinize Trump’s transactions. It can’t be wielded against just anyone; it’s designed to make inquiries into the finances of “politically exposed persons” suspected of money laundering.

👁‍🗨And he still hates windmills.

Perhaps this is why Trump was so inconvenienced in the New Year to deal with something petty like a pandemic.

This article has everything ...Trump suing and losing, fake Scottish crests from Trump, windmills and broken promises...

So, the Yankees gave Trump an open invitation to throw out the first ball at some point. This was a while ago but when Trump wet his diaper because Fauci threw out the ball, he suddenly announced he was going to throw out the ball on the 15th (with no real intention on actually doing it) and it caught everyone by surprise. He had a Trumper-tantrum and cancelled right away.

Kind of sad that the only thing people are talking about is voting by mail. Destruction of the postal system is a travesty in and of itself regardless of the implications to voting.

You have to be a little on the dim side to not recognize a woman of stature and say, out loud, that you’re insulted because Biden was choosing a woman for his V.P. 
If I’m going to compare, in the very little time that Harris has spoken, she already has surpassed Trump’s choice as V.P. in the things they both have said.

I guess all men should be insulted by Chump’s choice...

My gawd, he doesn’t even recognize what he just said..

Pelosi is a day late and dollar short. The election is lost to corruption. 

Banana Republic.

How on earth does a man that was unable to run a successful CASINO get elected? Y'know, the place people that don't understand probability and basic math go to just watch their money disappear among smoke and flashing lights?!??!
