He did post about the Clinton’s. Once. You’d figure he would be more persistent like he is with Trump

Most of this board doesn’t know the actual meaning of conservative…

Trump is putting funds in a bank in Qatar, not in the Department of the Treasury Forfeiture Fund. Trump claims that only he has the power to manage the money. That is not the 31 USC 9705 Fund.
Yep

Most of this board doesn’t realize in the real world nobody gives two fricks about how conservative one is or who is the most conservative.

No, they think that being a rightist populist is being a conservative.

79 million people disagree with you. The other 75 million voted for Kamala.

So you seem like you're underscoring it again.
For clarity's sake, you want nothing to do with conservatism, right?

Define in your own words in detail what conservatism is before I answer that.

There's no way that 79 million people know that I have defended you on this thread against charges of being a hypocrite.
So no, that is factually incorrect. 79 million people do not disagree with me on this.

Great reply. The same people attack using the same words. The whole clapping seal thing, rascal, mot, whatever else. They simply cannot stand me and that’s great. Roadgator says I’m obsessed yet the mother fricker can’t help himself but to be in every thread i start to derail it. Look at LSUguy84, roadgator a month ago said im MoT to him I’ve never interacted with him and instead of discussing Massie he says this thread isn’t going to go the way I think. Hes back to defend his boys using the same words. I think it’s hilarious and I’ll continue to post about Massie. Perhaps they’ll learn not to bump my threads.
Look at this cry out for help.
Sad.

I already did on the other thread in which you posted that you wanted nothing to do with it.
It was kind of a long post. I'm not typing all of that out again.
Is it really a mystery?

Another reply to me of no value. Good job deputy dog

There’s a thing called copy and paste. I’ll be waiting.

MikkUGA thanks for all this. Maybe Team Trump has figured out a way to bypass Congressional oversight, but an Executive Order cannot change a statute.
I am still struggling to see how these funds were "forfeited" to the US. President Trump told us that the Venezuelans were "giving us" 30
0 to 50 million barrels of oil.
Any thoughts on that?

?1. The "Legal Shield" against Creditors
?The most immediate reason is Venezuela's massive debt. The nation owes an estimated $170 billion to international bondholders and companies like ExxonMobil and ConocoPhillips.
?The Risk in U.S. Banks: If the oil money were deposited directly into a standard U.S. bank account, creditors could immediately file lawsuits in U.S. courts to "attach" (freeze) those funds to satisfy their debts.
?The Qatar Solution: By keeping the funds in Qatar—a neutral third-party location—the money remains outside the direct jurisdiction of U.S. civil courts. Even though the U.S. Treasury "controls" the account, the funds are not physically "onshore," making it much harder for private lawyers to seize them.
?2. Strategic "Neutrality"
?Qatar has a history of acting as a financial intermediary for the U.S. (most notably in past deals involving Iran).
?Diplomatic Buffer: Using a neutral Gulf state allows the U.S. to claim the money is being held in "governmental custody" for the Venezuelan people rather than being "stolen" or "annexed" by the U.S. government.
?Flow of Goods: Reports indicate that Qatari banks are being used to auction this money to Venezuelan private banks. This allows the funds to be used specifically for food, medicine, and infrastructure within Venezuela without the money ever touching the U.S. financial system, where it might be blocked by pre-existing sanctions or legal liens.

Oh there’s value.
I’m trying to save you from your self.
Calling out for your boys to stand by you is kinda pathetic.
I know you can’t see that. It’s Ok.

You didn't listen the first time. Why would I think you'd pay any attention this time?

LOL. Tell you what. Why don't you go fetch me the paper and a beer? You do that for me, MAYBE I'll tell you twice what I already told you once.

I can at least respect true conservatism.The problem is that many posters mistakenly think than real conservatives must agree with Donald Trump and that’s absurd…
