I want you to get a camera crew and go cover some moment in Trump Financial Armageddon in person. The video will be priceless. And say all your bad words. Please!
there's a story there. I'd originally called Levin an "overheated goober" and when Ms Spouse read the first draft, she said "you have to change this. what does that mean? what is an overheated goober? it sounds like a half-fried peanut" and I said "fine, that's what I'm changing it to"
At least be there for the repo of his very shiny 5th Avenue tower, especially if he tries to hold off the siege in his penthouse (Dye Hard?) and vows to fight to the last secret service agent...
Yes, and he’s Trump’s ace student. Listening to his comments fomenting about his plight is pure trumpism: I’m the victim and spewing his laments about how unfair this whole sordid affair is. Yes, Peter, we know that with your education that you throw around like candy should have provided you with the insights required to simply show up for your deposition and assert the 5th. So much for your so called Ph.D in Economics. I guess there were no courses that even touched on the ethics of your profession. Enjoy your stay and make sure you don’t bend over in the shower.
Maybe he can fill us in on the J6 Insurrection and the way he described it on Ari Melber ,about 2-3 weeks or even more. Some wild hand gestures and the “Green Bay Sweep,” was how he explained J6.
THIS IS A “BIG FUCKING DEAL” From today’s Heather Cox Richardson’s substack, Letters From An American: “Economic analyst Steven Rattner reported today that according to The Economist, since the end of 2019 the American economy has grown about 8%, while the European Union has grown about 3%, Japan 1%, and Britain not at all. Rattner and economist Brendan Duke reported that entrepreneurship in the U.S. is booming, with 5.2 million “likely employer” business applications filed between January 2021 and December 2023, more than a 33% increase over those filed between 2017 and 2019. Economists Justin Wolfers and Arin Dube noted that, as Wolfers wrote, “[f]or the first time in forever, real wage gains are going to those who need them most.” Wages have gone up for all but the top 20% of Americans, whose wages have fallen, reducing inequality.” I would love to know if anyone has seen this report from any of your news outlets? I’m waiting. Bueller? Bueller? Bueller? Bueller? https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/march-18-2024
That would be a good place to house the Immigrants that asshole abbott buses out of Texas with taxpayer dollars, of course after they are all arrested.
What about the $386 million in legal fees he has to pay the UK for losing the Dossier case? He's now owes almost a billion dollars. He's a broke ass billionaire. 🤣 He leases his brand. He doesn't outright own shit. His pants have dropped to his ankles, screaming 'look what they made do.' Kray kray is going to get crazier. The shit hitting the fan is his own.
It seems a given that some foreign entity is going to fork over the ‘loan’ and they will have control over the orange pustule. The talks of reinstating Manafort is another way of saying that they’re openly looking around for Russian money and let’s not forget Fuckface’s good buddies in the Middle East. If no one comes through and saves his ass that will be the biggest surprise, ever. As we all know he is pure filth that has worked the system to hell and in full view. It’s still shocking everyday that his cult can’t see, hear or think. 🙈🙉💩
That's why I'm not doing any celebrating until I see Tish James pointing her perfectly manicured index finger at a building and saying, "SEIZE IT!!" Someone will come through for this orange gasbag -- someone always does.
I don't know about that. Maybe Pouteen can find the readies somewhere, but a half billion dollars is "Real Money(tm)" even to the billionaire class.
They all know he's a con man, but how desperate would they have to be, to be willing to toss away half a billion in hopes of a possible tax break? He would have to be offering them something waaaay bigger.
The real problem is National Security. I'd be shocked if he hasn't retained copies of the juiciest stuff for just such an occasion.
I still think he can get Netflix “Orange is the New Orange” and NBC “Prison Apprentice” into a bidding war for rights to 25 seasons of reality TV at its best.
George, I was just thinking that Jack Smith needs a couple of aces up his sleeve and the Mueller report has, as your book points out, the roadmap to prosecute for "obstructing justice, intimidating witnesses, subornation of perjury, colluding with foreign actors, violating the Constitution..." We taxpayers already paid for the research, Jack Smith just needs to indict.
I always say that Karma can be a bitch. She drives a big fucking truck and she knows where we all live. I bet she has Cheeto's name at the top of her list and she's fueling up her rig as I write this.
I knew it from some vengeful restaurant workers I had known. I worked as a waitress & bartender for a while. Guy gets rude, grabby, doesn't tip, goes home with diarrhea. Be nice to your servers, is my advice.
It is true! I’m always nice to servers. My son worked at Starbucks and because he was tall, at the drive thru all day. I always think that could be my son, and appreciate them!
How about Biden saying ‘trump has been credibly accused of mishandling classified documents. If found not guilty, of course we can begin providing him with the briefs.’
That, of course, would make some sense. I just hope Biden has the wit to do so. Otherwise Trump will be selling secrets to the highest bidder. After all, he really needs to raise money.
I'm beginning to fear that he's going to get away with everything. It's increasingly obvious that the courts aren't going to save us - we need to save ourselves at the ballot box. VOTE!
All former presidents have received security briefings in the last few decades, but Biden did not continue this for Trump. I don't think he's going to go back on that decision. I think this story is a big false alarm.
I agree. If he’s a security risk for having all those documents, he’s still a security risk now. But even more - he doesn’t read (can’t?), so how is he going to understand what they tell him at these briefings anyway? 🙄
Since the briefings are a “courtesy” extended to the presidential nominees, I can think of no one less worthy of courtesy than Trump. His rudeness is unbelievable.
I’m so glad you said this. I remember when he stopped them during the Transition. He can say nothing and just continue to not allow him to get anything (that’s not in crayon)…
Yeah, Carl Palmer left for Asia. I would have liked to have seen them with Powell. I saw Greg Lake on a solo tour at a small theater years ago where he did a Q&A and sang from his King Crimson and ELP days. Still had the pipes. I was amazed at how many young people were there.
I saw Asia, and it was pretty impressive. But I am a much bigger Steve Howe fan, so Palmer wasn't really my main focus.
If you search Youtube for keith emerson fanfare for the common man, you will find a video a concert where Jeff "Skunk" Baxter and John Entwistle join Keith and Carl. It is amazing
I was lucky enough to see ELP with a full orchestra at Madison Square Garden in the 1970’s…..exact date a little hazy. After the show we saw the orchestra was dropped due to logistical/ cost issues.
Oh you can count on it. Steve Howe and the rest of Yes were also a fave, but I loved Rick Wakeman the most. Saw him doing his solo work a few times. Journey to the Center of the Earth was epic.
I read somewhere that Greg Lake wrote ‘Lucky Man’ when he was 12 years old. ELP was a great band. I saw them in L.A. when ‘Brain Salad Surgery’ was released. I was in high school. What a show!
This is why employers do credit checks to ensure prospective employees aren't security risks to the company. Trump is a security risk to THE WHOLE FUCKING COUNTRY!
And the rest of the free world. He's so desperate at this point that he's probably already plotting to sell any security info to the highest bidder that would help save his crooked ass from having his assets seized. Anyone else who ever had the opportunity to pull this shit would never get a chance to do it again. The very thought that he'd be allowed to be briefed on any of this highly classified info is fucking insane.
The fucking shit-stick has been selling them out of the trunk of his golf cart to the highest bidder. He doesn't give a fuck. He covers his own diapered Shitpants ass.
Absolutely. Don’t like immigrants? There will be many millions (billions?) more of them, and you could be one yourself. For instance when coastal cities really feel rising sea levels, or your Sunbelt state gets too hot for anyone to work outside.
I’m just trying to figure out how he would disclose who he got the money from if he got it from say Putin or Saudi Arabia or someone like that. If he comes up with the money now, somebody will be digging in to find out where it came from. And once it’s disclosed, how’s he going to explain WHY they gave it to him (you know it won’t be a loan).
Agreed. They have definitely distanced themselves from him as has Melania... haven't seen her anywhere. Only the "adult" sons seem to be all in with Daddy.
Melania was seen at Mar-a-Lago when Orban was there. He presented her with a large bouquet of flowers. She looked very surprised, of course. I imagine her staff combed through them to see if there was a camera or a mike attached. They’re in the garbage by now.
Apparently Jared and Ivanka are cut from same cloth as trump. He gave them access to foreign dictators to influence US policies for personal profits. They took their ill gotten gains and now they never really knew trump, the just passed in the halls of the White House. 🤣
I don’t know a great deal about private equity funds, but this money is not Jared’s personal money. It was a fund created and funded by middle eastern countries (primarily Saudi Arabia) to invest in Israeli startups. (Yeah…go figure…) Jared (who has zero experience in finance) makes money on the eventual public offerings or profits from said companies. The fund is based in Florida and subject to SEC oversight. So….long story short….they didn’t “give” Jared $2 billion dollars personally, like everyone keeps saying, but there still must be a quid pro quo in there somewhere, just haven’t figured it out yet. But, hey, what’s $2 billion to the Saudis? Chump change….
When dems retake the House, I would like to see them pull Jared in to find out when this fund was initially discussed/set up, because it sure seems to have been when he was still “working” for US taxpayers. He was in the middle east on January 6 doing something and it sure wasn’t negotiating peace in the middle east, remember? Anyway, this is a hella lot juicier than Hunters paltry $5 million, that’s for sure.
Well thank you for the cheerful news. Fani Willis will have to confiscate his properties. We can bid on the properties for $1.00 then donate them for housing all those in need of shelter.
First I want to see his criminal name ripped off the building in Chicago. It blights our beautiful river front!
Thanks for the correction Geoff. Fani will get her turn too. I’m pleased for her. Two competent ladies of color to go after the worst criminal ever…I want to see their names in lights! And in the history books!
Perhaps, folks, it is time to start a letter-writing campaign to President Biden to put the kibosh on the Orange Menace's national security briefings. I am doing my letter after lunch.
Don’t ya just love how the dipshit who gave tax breaks to billionaires can’t get a bailout from billionaires? It’s just too delicious. Schadenfreude with fava beans and a nice Chianti.
If he doesn't pony up on Monday, I'm popping champagne. It's as good as a conviction.
However, Derepaska and Klimnik (the third runner of the troika, Pregoszhin, is no longer available) may pony up, and Manafort is the forerunner. It won't just be polling data handed over this time.
This is an absolute 5-alarm fire. If Diaperstain Donnie somehow comes up with that money, we've really got to look out! This whole thing is pathetic in that it's scary as shit! He should be in jail....security briefings🤯..you gotta be fucking kidding me!!!!
It is almost impossible to count all the small businesses and families this turd has totally ruined by refusing to pay his bills. Man of the people? Friend of the little guy? Yeah, right.
As I mentioned before, I'm very proud of my Dad. He took a meeting with the Idiot in the late 80s with a firm that he (my father) was freelancing for. The firm was bidding on doing work for the Idiot. My parent walked out of the long meeting and said to the firm, "Count me out. That guy's a BS artist." The firm should've listened. They went ahead alone anyway. Guess who didn't get paid.
The rest of the comments on that thread were heartbreaking, all in one place. Have to be hundreds, maybe thousands, that he refused to pay and lost their businesses.
oh, and happy Peter Navarro Reports To Prison Day to all who celebrate
I want you to get a camera crew and go cover some moment in Trump Financial Armageddon in person. The video will be priceless. And say all your bad words. Please!
"you half-fried peanut" is as good as it gets, bravo.
there's a story there. I'd originally called Levin an "overheated goober" and when Ms Spouse read the first draft, she said "you have to change this. what does that mean? what is an overheated goober? it sounds like a half-fried peanut" and I said "fine, that's what I'm changing it to"
As a southerner Jeff, we think of an 'overheated goober' as just another cousin that got drunk and passed out on the beach.
It's so good to have a partner who is also funny!
well done...
And boiled peanuts for sale all over the place in Northern GA, MTG would be a boiled peanut dipshit.
I love overheated goober but I would have called him an overheated Kia even more worthless than a goober! 😭
That one had me snorting my coffee out my nose 😂😂
That one made me laugh too!!
"...parsimonious dick." was the one that made *me* lol.
Screenshotted it to save and savor!!
Almost as savory as a half-fried/half-boiled whatchamacallit. LOL
At least be there for the repo of his very shiny 5th Avenue tower, especially if he tries to hold off the siege in his penthouse (Dye Hard?) and vows to fight to the last secret service agent...
Dye Hard was chefs kiss perfect!
It’s a fiesta of shite.
It will become a new staple in the annual Festivus celebration!
Should be a national holiday.
Calls for celebration
Anarchy Princess will probably be there to celebrate
Hope so.
Wouldn't it be great if Anarchy Princess would show up with a running commentary!🤣
She tortured Peter Navarro… 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
🍰🎉🎉🎉🍺🥂

DON'T DROP THE SAOP.
😜
FINALLY. I was expecting that Clarence Thomas would intervene.
Maybe he can fill us in on the J6 Insurrection and the way he described it on Ari Melber ,about 2-3 weeks or even more. Some wild hand gestures and the “Green Bay Sweep,” was how he explained J6.
I hadn’t a clue what a Green Bay Sweep was…
Football isn’t my forte.
That's a religion I could get behind.

better yet, cyanide, only as a last resort though!
May I share on my timeline? With credit of course
Lynn, always, no need to ask, no credit necessary, thanks.
Not a peep 👀
I think they should seize Mar-a-Lago and use it to house immigrants and the homeless.
You mean like Melania?
😂😂😂
And her family- well Father anyway
For a second there, I thought you said "Malaria". Still kinda fits...
Good one!
Cleaning up the bedbugs and cockroaches first. The immigrants and homeless deserve better.
Good idea, Clyde.
This I love
That would do Donnie in permanently 😂😂😂
That would be a good place to house the Immigrants that asshole abbott buses out of Texas with taxpayer dollars, of course after they are all arrested.
Thanks @JeffTiedrich -somehow I had a feeling you might write about this.
By the way -Donald: That's 41,518,300,000 in todays USD to Ruble exchange rate.
You're welcome.
What about the $386 million in legal fees he has to pay the UK for losing the Dossier case? He's now owes almost a billion dollars. He's a broke ass billionaire. 🤣 He leases his brand. He doesn't outright own shit. His pants have dropped to his ankles, screaming 'look what they made do.' Kray kray is going to get crazier. The shit hitting the fan is his own.

It’s still shocking everyday that his cult can’t see, hear or think. 🙈🙉💩
I agree. If no one comes through I will be thoroughly shocked.
Half a billion is a lot of cheddar. No one can afford to drop fuck ton on a “takes one to know one” double dealing chiseler. And…the plot thickens…
That's why I'm not doing any celebrating until I see Tish James pointing her perfectly manicured index finger at a building and saying, "SEIZE IT!!" Someone will come through for this orange gasbag -- someone always does.
You know one of his despot buddies will come through for him
I don't know about that. Maybe Pouteen can find the readies somewhere, but a half billion dollars is "Real Money(tm)" even to the billionaire class.
They all know he's a con man, but how desperate would they have to be, to be willing to toss away half a billion in hopes of a possible tax break? He would have to be offering them something waaaay bigger.

I still think he can get Netflix “Orange is the New Orange” and NBC “Prison Apprentice” into a bidding war for rights to 25 seasons of reality TV at its best.
You forgot the hyphen between the 2 and the 5. 😆
Maybe he really meant 25 seasons, as in YEARS? That's what I thought, anyway
Orange is the new orange...brilliant!

George, I was just thinking that Jack Smith needs a couple of aces up his sleeve and the Mueller report has, as your book points out, the roadmap to prosecute for "obstructing justice, intimidating witnesses, subornation of perjury, colluding with foreign actors, violating the Constitution..." We taxpayers already paid for the research, Jack Smith just needs to indict.
He may believe he has more of a solid set of cases indicted now. I trust his judgment. I just don’t trust Aileen Cannon or the corrupted ‘Supremes’.
super cool, good luck with it and congrats!
that's thousands, not millions
You are correct. My head is stuck in millions. My bad.
Its 386 thousand not million, still it’s a chunk of money down the drain for him
I thought it was 600k in UK? Costs to winning side.
Lol
I hope this is the beginning of karma
-he bragged about "grabbing them by the pussy" and E Jean Carroll gets a judgement in her favor
-he's stiffed so many contractors/working people and he can't get anyone to front him 1/2 a million dollars
The Bible says "you reap what you sow". Others call it Karma. Whatever it is, he's earned it.
What he's "earned" is a lethal injection shoved right in his fucking eye.
I'm thinking a bad hamberder would be nice.
Ahahaha hahaha
Karma IS a bitch. She has snakes for hair and feasts on the live flesh of miscreants.
Karma's only a bitch if you are.
I always say that Karma can be a bitch. She drives a big fucking truck and she knows where we all live. I bet she has Cheeto's name at the top of her list and she's fueling up her rig as I write this.
Are you saying, "My karma's gonna run over your bank account?
From one Donna to another, hell yes!!
Can't someone put a big squirt of Visine in his Diet Coke ?
I watched that 20 20 too!! I had no idea that Visine was so lethal… hmmmm 🤔
I knew it from some vengeful restaurant workers I had known. I worked as a waitress & bartender for a while. Guy gets rude, grabby, doesn't tip, goes home with diarrhea. Be nice to your servers, is my advice.
Wow, cool 😎
It is true! I’m always nice to servers. My son worked at Starbucks and because he was tall, at the drive thru all day. I always think that could be my son, and appreciate them!
Finally he gets something he actually earned!
I’m a swipin!
You are so right, Eva!
I couldn't have said it better myself. Bravo, Eva! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
My hope is that US Intelligence will feed some incorrect info to tfg and then monitor international chatter to see which enemy bought the bogus info.
THAT is exactly what needs to happen.
great idea Krista!
Dumbed down to the, oh, let’s say, fifth grade reading level?
He doesn't need the security briefing. He's been president already.
Biden doesn't need to do a big announcement. Just don't brief the guy.
Biden does need to announce it. I can't believe that briefing Trump is even under consideration. This is insane.
How about Biden saying ‘trump has been credibly accused of mishandling classified documents. If found not guilty, of course we can begin providing him with the briefs.’
That, of course, would make some sense. I just hope Biden has the wit to do so. Otherwise Trump will be selling secrets to the highest bidder. After all, he really needs to raise money.
Ohhhh, perfect!!
It’s insane that the crook hasn’t been locked up already
I'm beginning to fear that he's going to get away with everything. It's increasingly obvious that the courts aren't going to save us - we need to save ourselves at the ballot box. VOTE!
They should create special security briefing packs just for Trump that are loaded with intentional disinformation. Watch Russia choke on it.
Oh, Sharon, that is such a great idea! Tell him something outrageous and see how fast it gets to Putin 👏🏼
🎯 love that idea !
I have been thinking about that, as well. It would be wonderful to slap those m’effers right back in their faces!
Seriously. Make Putin's Useful Idiot useful to the U.S. for a change.
All former presidents have received security briefings in the last few decades, but Biden did not continue this for Trump. I don't think he's going to go back on that decision. I think this story is a big false alarm.
I agree. If he’s a security risk for having all those documents, he’s still a security risk now. But even more - he doesn’t read (can’t?), so how is he going to understand what they tell him at these briefings anyway? 🙄
They’ll get Hababa or another one of his “ geniuses “ to explain them to him. He still won’t understand it anyway.
Collateral payments
I hope you’re right. I don’t trust Wray and wish Biden would replace him, like yesterday.
This really is a mystery, wray is bad for business.
Since the briefings are a “courtesy” extended to the presidential nominees, I can think of no one less worthy of courtesy than Trump. His rudeness is unbelievable.
I thought Agent Orange iced Biden out from receiving anything in 2020.
That is true. And didn’t even greet him at the door like all past presidents. Locked it and left. 🤬
I’m so glad you said this. I remember when he stopped them during the Transition. He can say nothing and just continue to not allow him to get anything (that’s not in crayon)…
Let's hope so.
Cartoons in crayon??
“Oooo what a Lucky Man he was” Emerson Lake & Palmer. If you know the song, it ends: “no money could save him, so he lay down and he died”.
Yes please!
One of my favorites!
Same! I saw them twice in concert. Absolutely fantastic. I was a huge fan.
I didn't see ELP, but I did see Emerson, Lake and Powell, and I have to admit that was life changing. Keith is a god on the keys!
Yeah, Carl Palmer left for Asia. I would have liked to have seen them with Powell. I saw Greg Lake on a solo tour at a small theater years ago where he did a Q&A and sang from his King Crimson and ELP days. Still had the pipes. I was amazed at how many young people were there.
I saw Asia, and it was pretty impressive. But I am a much bigger Steve Howe fan, so Palmer wasn't really my main focus.
If you search Youtube for keith emerson fanfare for the common man, you will find a video a concert where Jeff "Skunk" Baxter and John Entwistle join Keith and Carl. It is amazing
(Ok, here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTEmldzx1xE ) Be sure to turn it up!
I was lucky enough to see ELP with a full orchestra at Madison Square Garden in the 1970’s…..exact date a little hazy. After the show we saw the orchestra was dropped due to logistical/ cost issues.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
They were amazing.
Oh you can count on it. Steve Howe and the rest of Yes were also a fave, but I loved Rick Wakeman the most. Saw him doing his solo work a few times. Journey to the Center of the Earth was epic.
I read somewhere that Greg Lake wrote ‘Lucky Man’ when he was 12 years old. ELP was a great band. I saw them in L.A. when ‘Brain Salad Surgery’ was released. I was in high school. What a show!
A great album. Probably still my favorite though Trilogy ranks high too
This is why employers do credit checks to ensure prospective employees aren't security risks to the company. Trump is a security risk to THE WHOLE FUCKING COUNTRY!
And the rest of the free world. He's so desperate at this point that he's probably already plotting to sell any security info to the highest bidder that would help save his crooked ass from having his assets seized. Anyone else who ever had the opportunity to pull this shit would never get a chance to do it again. The very thought that he'd be allowed to be briefed on any of this highly classified info is fucking insane.
The fucking shit-stick has been selling them out of the trunk of his golf cart to the highest bidder. He doesn't give a fuck. He covers his own diapered Shitpants ass.
The free world and the rest of the world. Climate change is the security issue that tops others.
Yes. Got food?
Absolutely. Don’t like immigrants? There will be many millions (billions?) more of them, and you could be one yourself. For instance when coastal cities really feel rising sea levels, or your Sunbelt state gets too hot for anyone to work outside.
I’m just trying to figure out how he would disclose who he got the money from if he got it from say Putin or Saudi Arabia or someone like that. If he comes up with the money now, somebody will be digging in to find out where it came from. And once it’s disclosed, how’s he going to explain WHY they gave it to him (you know it won’t be a loan).
Probably for a favor rather than a loan. In the meantime, the clock keeps ticking away...
World
Has anyone asked why he doesn't try to get it from his son-in-law? At whom the Saudis are throwing billions at?
I get the sense that Ivanka and Kushner have grown to loathe Former Fuck
Agreed. They have definitely distanced themselves from him as has Melania... haven't seen her anywhere. Only the "adult" sons seem to be all in with Daddy.
Isn't Melanias secret to youthful looks , a BLOODBATH , from virgins ?
Melania was seen at Mar-a-Lago when Orban was there. He presented her with a large bouquet of flowers. She looked very surprised, of course. I imagine her staff combed through them to see if there was a camera or a mike attached. They’re in the garbage by now.
Like Father Like Daughter ,
They got their Two Billion? And Salut( Quebecois)
Suck on those Lemons Donny!
Instead of Biden’s name for the orange monster, TFG, I like the Jeff version, FF!
Very possibly they had a talk about Jared and Donald being an anti-Semite and all.
Ohhhh maybe since Ivana died?
Jared's assets aren't liquid, they are invested, and he sure isn't going to use them as security for deadbeat dad in law.
Apparently Jared and Ivanka are cut from same cloth as trump. He gave them access to foreign dictators to influence US policies for personal profits. They took their ill gotten gains and now they never really knew trump, the just passed in the halls of the White House. 🤣
They earned &640 million during their time as “unpaid administrators”
🤬
She is him. She married a quieter version of her parents. They are true to their own malignant narcissism.
👍👍😂🤣
What would the gift tax be on $464,000,000?
I read it somewhere but believe it’s absolute shitpile. No one wants to be on the hook for that. Loyalty doesn’t extend that far, lol
That truly would be flushing $500M down the crapper, gold plated or otherwise.
Rich people didn't get rich by pissing away real money...
Exactly.
I don’t know a great deal about private equity funds, but this money is not Jared’s personal money. It was a fund created and funded by middle eastern countries (primarily Saudi Arabia) to invest in Israeli startups. (Yeah…go figure…) Jared (who has zero experience in finance) makes money on the eventual public offerings or profits from said companies. The fund is based in Florida and subject to SEC oversight. So….long story short….they didn’t “give” Jared $2 billion dollars personally, like everyone keeps saying, but there still must be a quid pro quo in there somewhere, just haven’t figured it out yet. But, hey, what’s $2 billion to the Saudis? Chump change….
When dems retake the House, I would like to see them pull Jared in to find out when this fund was initially discussed/set up, because it sure seems to have been when he was still “working” for US taxpayers. He was in the middle east on January 6 doing something and it sure wasn’t negotiating peace in the middle east, remember? Anyway, this is a hella lot juicier than Hunters paltry $5 million, that’s for sure.
Actually, yes, that comes up a lot in the average conversation - just not in network broadcasting or print.
Legit question
That first picture - with his too dark makeup dripping into his small, piggy, red rimmed eyes - is priceless!! Thank you!
Sweaty spray tan with white rings around the eyes - now that is the look of a strongman.
I did enjoy that.
Right? 😂
Well thank you for the cheerful news. Fani Willis will have to confiscate his properties. We can bid on the properties for $1.00 then donate them for housing all those in need of shelter.
First I want to see his criminal name ripped off the building in Chicago. It blights our beautiful river front!
It is Letitia James, not Fani Willis...
Thanks for the correction Geoff. Fani will get her turn too. I’m pleased for her. Two competent ladies of color to go after the worst criminal ever…I want to see their names in lights! And in the history books!
Oh yeah, two women of color putting him in his place. That is the totally delish sight we are beholden to!
Perhaps, folks, it is time to start a letter-writing campaign to President Biden to put the kibosh on the Orange Menace's national security briefings. I am doing my letter after lunch.
Just sent an email to the White House demanding that the briefings be cancelled.
Sent mine in too!
Bravo!
Absolutely!
Don’t ya just love how the dipshit who gave tax breaks to billionaires can’t get a bailout from billionaires? It’s just too delicious. Schadenfreude with fava beans and a nice Chianti.
Add some baklava for the middle eastern touch!!😂😂
If he doesn't pony up on Monday, I'm popping champagne. It's as good as a conviction.
However, Derepaska and Klimnik (the third runner of the troika, Pregoszhin, is no longer available) may pony up, and Manafort is the forerunner. It won't just be polling data handed over this time.
This is an absolute 5-alarm fire. If Diaperstain Donnie somehow comes up with that money, we've really got to look out! This whole thing is pathetic in that it's scary as shit! He should be in jail....security briefings🤯..you gotta be fucking kidding me!!!!
Fruit of the Loom shouldn't brief him.
🤣👏🤣
Hahaha!! I love it, Charlie.
Why brief him when the Russians are probably already giving him talking piints?
It is almost impossible to count all the small businesses and families this turd has totally ruined by refusing to pay his bills. Man of the people? Friend of the little guy? Yeah, right.
As I mentioned before, I'm very proud of my Dad. He took a meeting with the Idiot in the late 80s with a firm that he (my father) was freelancing for. The firm was bidding on doing work for the Idiot. My parent walked out of the long meeting and said to the firm, "Count me out. That guy's a BS artist." The firm should've listened. They went ahead alone anyway. Guess who didn't get paid.
The rest of the comments on that thread were heartbreaking, all in one place. Have to be hundreds, maybe thousands, that he refused to pay and lost their businesses.
