NYC dumps Trump

Trump resigned from the Trump organization in 2016. NYC is canceling contracts because of alleged criminal activity from an ex-employee? Or are they alleging that Eric or Donald Jr. are guilty of criminal behavior?
I'd love to be a Trump attorney for this case...

Donald J. Trump is still the sole and principal owner of the Trump Organization. You should know better than to equate a principal owner to an ex-employee.

Elijah "Pumpsie" Green was the first black player on the Boston Red Sox, the last Major League Baseball team to integrate.
I remember Pumpsie Green as a second baseman, I was 5 years-old. I don't remember anything about him and integration.
Bill Russell played for the Celtics 56-69, He won 11 NBA championships (really 11), 8 of them in a row. He always talked about Boston being racist. It probably was, but at that time he would have heard the talk anywhere.
The school bussing in the 70's insured Boston's reputation.
Bussing was bad for everyone, it still is. I had a front row seat for it. It was just plain stupid.
Is Boston racist? Maybe, but it isn't just white/black, it's different. The Irish are very aware that they are Irish, that is also true for Italians, Germans, Jewish, Brahmin, Limey or whatever. The city was always run by democrats who didn't used to be far left. But now they have become woke.

We’re you one of the kids bussed to a school far away?

No, my father was a high school headmaster in Boston. He was making Walter Cronkite appearances at the time to discuss the bussing.
He sent his kids to private schools, of course. They were cheap back then. I think $100 covered 6 of us in the same grammar school. We had nuns who worked for food and shelter.

Would bussing work today with the wokes? Feels like a true test.
Peer quality is strongly linked to outcomes. You take poor disadvantaged kids and start sending them to areas with high property values (and high property values because of schools), let's see how people react?
I for one unabashedly traded less house for better school district. I'm sure many others have as well.

Sorry. Future presidents need to know that can’t just go down the path of launching assaults on democracy if they lose. Figurative and literal.

Future Presidents should be treated just like any other American, with all the rights and privileges we enjoy.
If you don't like that, China is a large communist country that might suit your idea of law and government better.

On another note let’s see the new prices for the new contracts when theses expire.

Some talking head said that the contract between the Trump organization and NYC specifies that the contract can be terminated for "criminal behavior."
AFAICT, President Trump was impeached, but not convicted. Also, I admit I might be wrong, "criminal behavior" is decided in the courts, not Congress.
That sound you hear is the sound of Trump organization lawyers salivating.
ETA: NYC's announcement occurred before the impeachment. Good luck and [@Jolly] enjoy [/@jolly].

For his sake, I hope he doesn't use Lin Wood and Sidney Powell, who in recent weeks haven't salivated so much as drool.

At an insanely stupid cost. The damages they can claim are significant.

Beyond loss of revenue, what else? Damage to (cough) reputation?

Just read that the Trump organization's contracts with NYC are in excess of $40MM.
