  2. Basically the message from Trump side is if you attack a policy or view of the GOP they can call your city a shithole. Only a mentally challenged message board poster thinks a Congressman runs a city and is in charge just because they are voted from that district. Is Cummings supposed to demand Congress pass laws specifically to police and clean up Baltimore or is that..you know...the control of the State and local politicians.

    Most of you here failed American Government.

    The message from Trump who spent the whole 2016 election calling the plans and policies of previous leaders a disaster, attacking America and criticizing people for worst decisions ever, the pussy queefs as soon as he gets any criticism.

    You're kinda doing the same thing. Saying that you can't tell people of color something because they're people of color. If some white Scandinavian came here and wanted to make us like Sweden or Norway and we said "if you don't love it here, you can leave" would that be racist? Or is it ok because the scandinavian is white?

    Trump goes after everyone, regardless of race. Let me ask you this. Trump went after John McCain pretty hard. If McCain was black, would you consider everything negative he said about McCain racist?

  6. How about Obama's FBI? Were they "being the badge" when they decided who should "be the president" even in advance of the election?

    Was Loretta- the top Law Enforcement officer in the country- short of the President- "being the badge" when she settled matters out on the tarmac?

    Q. What is an Opportunity Zone?
    A. An Opportunity Zone is an economically-distressed community where new investments, under certain conditions, may be eligible for preferential tax treatment. Localities qualify as Opportunity Zones if they have been nominated for that designation by the state and that nomination has been certified by the Secretary of the U.S. Treasury via his delegation of authority to the Internal Revenue Service.

    Q. How were Opportunity Zones created?
    A. Opportunity Zones were added to the tax code by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act on December 22, 2017.

    Q. Have Opportunity Zones been around a long time?
    A. No, they are new. The first set of Opportunity Zones, covering parts of 18 states, were designated on April 9, 2018. Opportunity Zones have now been designated covering parts of all 50 states, the District of Columbia and five U.S. territories.

    Q. What is the purpose of Opportunity Zones?
    A. Opportunity Zones are an economic development tool—that is, they are designed to spur economic development and job creation in distressed communities.

    Q. How do Opportunity Zones spur economic development?
    A. Opportunity Zones are designed to spur economic development by providing tax benefits to investors. First, investors can defer tax on any prior gains invested in a Qualified Opportunity Fund (QOF) until the earlier of the date on which the investment in a QOF is sold or exchanged, or December 31, 2026. If the QOF investment is held for longer than 5 years, there is a 10% exclusion of the deferred gain. If held for more than 7 years, the 10% becomes 15%. Second, if the investor holds the investment in the Opportunity Fund for at least ten years, the investor is eligible for an increase in basis of the QOF investment equal to its fair market value on the date that the QOF investment is sold or exchanged.

    Q. What is a Qualified Opportunity Fund?
    A. A Qualified Opportunity Fund is an investment vehicle that is set up as either a partnership or corporation for investing in eligible property that is located in a Qualified Opportunity Zone.
