The point is Hunter's 50k per month from Burisma is nothing compared to some of these deals.

No other president has enriched themselves as much as Trump has in this term, but because it’s Trump yall just ignore it. Yall are such lemmings. No free thoughts at all.

It’s wasn’t just the money to Hunter, it was the access it got to the big guy.

Trumps making big deals is par for the course.

You buy lies after lies to the point of absurdity.

Just accept that Trump is better at business the son of a bitch Biden.

They're both shady. That you're only concerned with one of the two is kind of wild.

I’m sure you were concerned with figuring out who the big guy was and why was he worth 10%.

What graft has Trump profited from ?

Buddy, I’m a Trump supporter. I still think he is a unique character who has done remarkable things that no one else would have even tried. He’s done some stupid things too. But on balance, he might have saved America for another generation.

But he is corrupt as hell! If you can’t see that then you are willfully blind. The Qatar plane was graft. It is being used by the president who intends to transfer it to his library after his term, at which time Trump will be using it for personal transportation. At least that’s his plan.

His crypto schemes are graft. Trump is so brazenly corrupt that it is shocking people into disbelief.

I sure as hell was. I was pissed about Pelosi, too. I’m pissed at all those mother frickers and I’m pissed at you for only being pissed at the blue ones.

This board is full of blind people lately. It’s sad really because there were some solid thought provoking discussions. Now it’s just a terrible defense of a failed president.

Maybe some are afraid to go against the grain. Regardless, I’m not the only one who feels this way thankfully.

Imagine if Obama made a Billion dollars off a memecoin and then started a war with Iran and lost.

The melt around here would be seen from the moon…..

This is the correct answer.

The worst one IMO was trying to use the DOJ to bully the IRS into effectively exempting the Trumps from taxation.

How much money do you think that would have saved them?

And the big question is, is ANYONE here brazen enough to claim that they wouldn't have absolutely

LOST.

THEIR.

frickING.

MIND.

if Joe Biden had done the same?

Anybody want to tell that whopper?

I heartily approve so that they can load up to fight the lawfare when Trump leaves office.

No one here cares how much money he makes.

That's not the point.

The point is that he's making money using his position in office to do so.

Again, I'll ask.

If Joe Biden had heavily deregulated—mostly unilaterally—bitcoins and then made a billion and a half dollars investing in them inside of a year, and/or used the DOJ to try to strong arm the IRS into basically relieving the Bidens of any IRS responsibilities or accountabilities, what would your reaction have been?

If you say anything other than, "My head would have exploded and I would have claimed that it was time to take up arms against the government," you're just lying.

And you know it.

And no, blatant graft and corruption by the most powerful man in the world are not justified because the left lawfared Trump, or even that they shot him once and tried a couple of other times.

It was ~$50M and AFTER he was no longer president and they have 20 titles on Netflix under this deal.

Melanie got $40M for a documentary about herself while they are in power

But sure it’s the same thing
