So Burr and his wife sold the hotel stock

[malaise]

How prescient!
Lock them Up!

[still_one]

1. Insider trading

[malaise]

5. Silly me suspects that the intelligence folks told them what was coming for

tourism. I wonder who else cashed in.
Is Mittens still connected to Marriott?

[Wellstone ruled]

10. Marriott is now part

another major chain. Starwood?

[malaise]

11. Thanks

Many hotels in Jamaica are closing

[Wellstone ruled]

12. The whole Cruise and

All inclusive Resort industry appears to have collapsed.

[malaise]

13. In the blink of an eye

Over the Christmas holidays we'd sit on the beach and watch these massive ships come and go from Ocho Rios.
We'd keep our asses parked and not drive into town for fear of traffic - now the roads are clear.

[Wellstone ruled]

14. We used to go to the

Dominican Republic for many a year a use a All Inclusive on the East End. Most of the Resorts are joint ventures between Italy Cuba Spain and Canada. Best way to ever relax and feed your face 24/7 as well as learn the Caribbean Culture.

[malaise]

16. LOL

Lots of Spanish properties here

[Wellstone ruled]

19. Yup,one of the largest

developers in Latin America as well as the Caribbean. Always noticed American owned Properties turn into dumps while others are maintained.

20. we love Ocho Rios. Probably one of my favorite places in Jamaica

lately we have been docking in Falmouth? It is pretty but not nearly as nice as Ocho Rios

[malaise]

22. I'm not an Ochi fan

We stay further down the coast away from the town - closer to Mammee Bay. I've never been a Trelawny fan -love Negril, and Portland. I love Doctor's Cave beach for swimming but can't handle Mobay - if you could just plant me on the beach I'd stay there all day.

23. I keep telling hubby I want to retire in Jamaica. in 2016 I kept telling my kids if dumpt won

I was moving to Jamaica.

Then I got super sick on election day and didn't return to work until May.

My kids thought I really did move to Jamaica

what do you think of Dunnes Riverfalls?

We climbed it once and it was awesome

[malaise]

26. I love Dunns river falls - haven't been in years

The thing is once the ships are in, we stayed put because all the tourists are heading to the falls and the traffic doesn't move. We have friends in Portland so we go used to go to Reach quite often back in the day. Much less traffic in that area.

[Demovictory9]

34. i partially climbed it. exited at the difficult part

[flotsam]

21. You might find it hard to believe

My brother lives in a vacation destination town in New Hampshire and though the moneyed people mostly arrive in town by automobile. This time of year the roads are clear but summers can be a nightmare. He expects this summer may be hugely non-touristy....

[malaise]

24. I believe you

Time for the locals to enjoy their town . I have no doubt that we'll be offered some nice cheap rates for the hotels and town houses on the beaches for the rest of this year.

[A HERETIC I AM]

27. No, its the other way around. Marriott is the parent company.

They bought and now own the Starwood brand since 2016.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marriott_International

[Wellstone ruled]

29. Woha,that is interesting.

Starwood was big into Time Share rip offs. So Willard's Rellies did make the kill. Still refuse to stay at any of Marriott's Hotels .

[tblue37]

28. Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R, of course) & her husband unloaded millions in stock the same day her

committee was briefed.

[gibraltar72]

2. Department of Coincidences needs to look into this.

[donkeypoofed]

3. A crime! Caught on tape !

It still won't be enough to convict or imprison anyone.

Whereas they still wanna lock up Hillary for nothing.

Twits.

[malaise]

6. +1,000

What a kakistocracy

[Kingofalldems]

4. I'm sure Barr will be right on it.

[Ohiogal]

7. I wish

Elizabeth Warren was our AG!

[malaise]

9. That would be perfect

Burr should be forced to resign

[spooky3]

18. Mark Warner would surely be smiling about that.

He always looked stressed at their joint news conferences.

[malaise]

25. Oh yes

Burr is a low life - new it from the Senate report on the investigations

[rockfordfile]

8. Lock him up

[Poiuyt]

15. So Burr was warning people at a private meeting how bad this was going to be

and selling his stock before the stock market crash.

https://www.npr.org/2020/03/19/818192535/burr-recording-sparks-questions-about-private-comments-on-covid-19

Didn't Martha Stewart go to prison for insider trading?

[malaise]

17. Yes and here's the latest one

[Poiuyt]

31. Whoo boy!

It's a good thing for her that rich and famous people are exempt from US laws.

[ancianita]

30. Yeah, sure. The non-existent SEC will get right on that. So will the DOJ.

[uponit7771]

33. +1, I wonder what the statue of limitation is on this

[ancianita]

35. 2021, when our new AG, SEC and DOJ take over and haul their asses to the same jails

Martha Stewart got hauled to.

[Demovictory9]

32. lol
