As long as he did it legally, I don’t care. I believe Craig’s list is replacing BACK PAGE as the leading place for all your sexual deviant needs. Including underage trafficking.

How does one BUY news coverage?

Is there Pay for Play messaging in “news” items?

Only thing I used Craigslist for was to look for local homes/apartments available to rent.
Quickly found out the website is UTTERLY USELESS!!!

Left Wing people suppose to care about poor people. I wonder how many poor babies could have been fed with that $170M?

If Trump wins I will take great satisfaction in thinking of all the tens of millions of dollars the liberals flushed down the crapper.

Funny, because Craigslist largely destroyed the mother’s milk of journalism: classified ads in newspapers.

Craig Newmark, by advocating for Democrats is using his website as a direct contribution to the Biden campaign. These contributions need to be investigated by the FEC. It’s unfair to President Trump’s campaign. Craigslist and such websites should be impartial.

I used to score a decent amount of side photo gigs and break fix jobs.

Nowadays, I post farm and other stuff for sale to help my dad and uncle.

I surplus out stuff there too sometimes. Trying to lighten the load as much as possible.

For months I’ve had a I6 258 block/ head and related parts on CL.

I get a nibble once in a while but no vites. Part of me hates to scrap it. But I probably will.

Never understood how they make money. I use it for buying and selling household goods, musical instruments, I’ve even sold cars on it.

Why President Trump is Our Only Hope-A letter from the son of a Holocaust survivor
Frontpagemagazine ^ | Aug 6, 2020

Posted on 8/6/2020, 6:53:32 AM by SJackson

Let’s look at this man for one second.

Walking back to the White House after a long day.

https://cms.frontpagemag.com/sites/default/files/uploads/2020/08/tr.jpg

A 74-year-old man coming back home from work at 2AM while most men his age are retired in their vacation homes.

He comes back after a long day that probably started before the sun rose and gets back home exhausted with his tie open and hat in his hand feeling that an accomplished day is finally over.

That amazing man is in the age of many people’s grandfathers, great grandfathers or my grandfather when he passed away, but this man just came back home from work, for me, for you.

This man, left his massive gold-covered mansion where he could retire happily and play golf all day long.

But this man put his wealth aside and went to work for free, for $1 a year, for me, for you, for us, for AMERICA.

While other presidents became rich from the presidency, this man LOST over 2 billion dollars of his wealth during this short 4 years of his life. Yet, he donated 1 million dollars to flood victims in Houston.

He put aside his amazing retirement lifestyle for getting ambushed every single day by the media and the Radical Left Democrats that trash this man who works for them until 1 AM for free.

He doesn’t do it for money or power, he already had it. He is doing it so their houses will be safe, so their schools will get better, so they will be able to find jobs or start a new business easier, so they will be able to keep few dollars in their pockets at the end of the month while other presidents before him made sure to keep digging in their pockets and empty them for taxes.

Look at this picture again, that man is at the age of your fathers, grandfathers or maybe YOU. Where is your respect? Honor? Appreciation? Are you THAT BLIND? THAT BLIND to not see a thing this man is doing for you and for your family?

THAT BLIND that after all his work for minority groups in America you keep calling him a racist? I am the son of an Auschwitz Survivor and someone who lost 99% of my family to the camps and ovens of Nazi Germany. And I’m no fool. DONALD TRUMP IS NO RACIST OR ANTI-SEMITE.

Are you THAT BLIND to not see how much this country developed in the last 4 years? President Donald J. Trump, I want to thank you with all my heart. I am so sorry for the blind hatred you have been made to endure.

You are a good and generous man. I KNOW THIS. What I don’t know and think about often is what kind of people is it who can be so hateful in their hearts to spew such hate and evilness, not just at you but at your family too?

Or people mocking and making jokes about you because you’re not a professional politician groomed in speech-making and straight-faced lying.

Or attacking your wife and young son.

People who believe their hatred is their own. But they can’t articulate why they hate.

What kind of people are these?

WHAT KIND OF PEOPLE ARE THESE?

They are the kind of people who do not realize that they have been manipulated and brainwashed by such a deep-rooted EVIL MOTIVATED BY EVIL MEDIA.

The American people are in a bad place right now.... in their hearts and souls. God help us.... Trump is not the problem.

President TRUMP is our only hope.

Funny, I have a few rentals and c/l is my best path to a new renter. c/l unlike apartments.com, lets me remain anonymous until i email qualify a rental prospect. Zillow et al, is constantly trying to upsell applications and services for fees to both sides.
