    Except the company making the loan WAS happy with the repayment and profit.

    The buy bull shtick seems tailored to gain additional traction among those Christians who are reluctant to buy into the claim that a man completely without morals is their God's chosen to be our president.

    Something has really changed. You are right. A person without morals has become their idol. and a candidate for POTUS. There was a time when folks looked for integrity, an upstanding citizen. and someone with knowledge and professionalism.........in conduct and speach.
    Those days seem to be gone. Value systems seem so different now. Social Media has penetrated the collective consciousness of a lot of folks........to the point that is where the "influence" lies. Then , one has to factor in that Trump is the greatest con man to have entered the political arena.

    Hur’s report did not declare Biden mentally unfit for trial or incompetent.
    You just did.

    NEWSFLASH, not all broken laws are prosecuted. There's a concept called 'prosecutorial discretion'.

    What does that mean? It could mean one of two things, perhaps more, but i can think of two;

    1. There is a general policy at the DOJ not to prosecute for mere possession. Reason? Commonality among exec & and senate staff and because there is a policy to only prosecute if there are aggravated circumstances
    2. On laws broken outside the above parameters, the prosecutors believe there isn't sufficient evidence to assure a BARD verdict.

    Then why did they lie about having an ethics agreement that Hunter would never know who were the buyers when in fact he knew it was his newly found at the campaign fund raising event Uncle Bucks and another bit Dem donor. Just another money laundering scheme.

    I don't know, Bullseye, but your statement 'desperation doesn't become' reads like an accidental backhanded compliment.

    Because, normally, the phrase, say you are talking to a woman, 'your new look becomes you' you are complimenting her. If you said 'your new look doesn't become you' you are saying she doesn't wear the new look well. In essence, you are saying I'm not wearing desperation very well, which is a backhanded compliment. I see nothing in it about 'standing' or 'reputation. That's how it reads to me.

    How about when it is a means to launder influence money? You know like paying someone off with diamonds.

    There is no 'evil' there.

    You are conflating the docs case with Comer investigation, that's specious conflation.

    Hur’s report did not declare Biden mentally unfit for trial. He thought his poor memory might garner too much sympathy from a jury such that BARD would be difficult.

    What would you do on the border, that the Senate Bill doesn't have in it that you think is better?

    This idea that spies haven't infiltrated Mar A Lago, given it's loose reputation, that it's a club, that anyone with enough money can join, and have joined, given that two spies have been caught already, defies credulity, not to mention that one aussie billionaire reported that Trump told him nuke secrets, not to mention that we have on tape Trump showing NDI docs to someone who didn't have clearance, this is not rocket science.

    Again, proof?

    There is none. You do know that, right? The attraction of conspiracy theories is that they can't be proven, nor do they need to be for people to believe them. Any little thing can be twisted or exaggerated into "evidence" and spread all over the web and social media, with nary a fact involved.

    Hur stood right there on National television and said that while he thought Biden guilty he thought him to mentally compromised to stand trial. That is the truth you can argue what is or is not in the sanitized if not sterilized report if you wish but it is meaningless against what Hur himself said on TV and the fact that after four years Biden need a helper to get off stage.

    Oh yeah, right...

    Trump aids Jared to score a $25,000,000 management free from a $2,000,000,000 investment fund score (noting Jared had no prior experience) as blood money from the murderous Mohammed Bin Salman ostensibly for Trump admin's kid glove treatment over the butchering of Jamal Khashoggi .

    Trump aids Ivanka to score millions in accelerated trademarks from China in which she peddled millions worth of stuff to China while her father was negotiating with China

    Noting......




    Transcript;

    And bigger picture, if the outrage is over a child using a powerful political dad's influence to gain favors from a Chinese business, Chinese more broadly, which all seems important to expose otherwise, then there was also a potentially bigger story last week that somehow got almost completely overlooked. The Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday that workers from ZTE, a state-owned Chinese telecommunications company, had been tracked by U.S. officials exiting suspected Chinese spy facilities in Cuba. Now, that is the same Chinese company that in 2017 pled guilty to illegally exporting U.S. technology to Iran and North Korea, the same company that was then sanctioned by the U.S., and the same company for whom President Trump reversed sanctions, much to the consternation of many Republicans.

    And here's why that's important: days before and then days after the announcement of the reversal of sanctions, Ivanka Trump received various trademarks from the Chinese, and immediately following the ending of the sanctions, China announced a $500 million loan to help fund a theme park in Indonesia with a Trump-branded hotel and golf course. At the time, President Trump bizarrely claimed he did it to save Chinese jobs, but Trump trade advisor Peter Navarro told Fox News something different at the time.

    The president did this as a personal favor to the president of China as a way of showing some goodwill for bigger efforts. And this personal favor to China came despite intelligence reviewed during the Trump Administration that contributed to suspicions at the time that ZTE and another Chinese company might be playing a role in expanding China's ability to spy on the U.S. from the island, according to The Wall Street Journal report last week.


    And I won't even mention off the condos, offices, sold and leased to both Chinese officials and Russian oligarchs.

    I changed my mind, let's do it: See, the issue is that Trump ran for prez to increase 'Trump brand' awareness, and exploited his office in pursuit of business deals. This is just wrong, but Repubs don't seem to care, and that's complicity.

    Copilot query results:

    1. Russian Oligarchs and Trump Towers in Florida:
    2. Russian Investment in Trump-Branded Luxury Towers:
    3. Trump’s Fraught Relationship with Russian Oligarchs:
    In the world of high-rises and intrigue, it seems that Trump Towers have seen their fair share of both.

    And invested or rented rooms on a long term basis? You do realize that it is all but illegal to not rent rooms to anyone with the money? the investment as such is less than 1% of if the total values of said properties. During the time during the Trump admin when the white house was undergoing refurbishment much of the government involving the president was being conducted from Maralago hence most of those hotels were being occupied by Russian oligarchs and their security teams who were conducting official business with the white house. Further a 25mill fee for managing a 2 billion investment fund is chump change. Note the Saudis made money off the deal well in excess of Jared's fee.

    It's about time we put God back into things instead of taking God away. The world would be a lot better place. Like it or not, Trump is doing that, which is one reason you hate him so much.
