Was the statue of Liberty a bribe?

He's right you fricking idiot.

Was the Board position at Burisma a bribe?

The Statue of Liberty was a gift from a powerful nation to a poor nation. It was given because the fledgling country was the most exciting thing to happen in governance in a thousand years. The money came from collections from the French people themselves who were burning with pride in their own contributions to American independence.

quote:

The promoters of the statue in France formed an organization, the French-American Union, in 1875. The group issued a statement calling for donations from the public and presenting a general plan specifying that the statue would be paid for by France, while the pedestal upon which the statue would stand would be paid for by Americans. That meant fundraising operations would have to take place on both sides of the Atlantic. Donations began coming in throughout France in 1875. It was felt inappropriate for France’s national government to donate money for the statue, but various city governments contributed thousands of francs, and approximately 180 cities, towns, and villages eventually gave money. Thousands of French schoolchildren gave small contributions. Descendants of French officers who had fought in the American Revolution a century before, including relatives of Lafayette, gave donations.


Note the part in bold above, lol

Except when you factor in that Pam Bondi was a foreign agent for Qatar.

Optics? I'm not sure either.

France gave us the statue of liberty. As long as it's a gift to America it's all good imo.

its a gift to America for 3yrs then it shifts the to the Trump Presidential library. so its basically Trump's after his term is up. This is a bad look and move by Trump.

We were hardly a poor nation in the 1880s.

I said this in the other thread...although the Qataris are really pushing the gift angle,

sell the plane to DOD for $1.00, solves several issues...

Why would Qatar give a $400 million jet to the DoD, or to Trump? And why do you feel the need to insult?
