You're NOT in the Billionaire Boys Club (BBC), so STOP whining!

This was on several news stations. Hopefully it's gotten enough press that it will be investigated.

Doesn't that remind you of another president who gifted his family millions from a foreign government for favors now and in the future.
Now there is a movement for congress to not get paid while the government is shut down. Sounds like a good idea until you realize their pay check is just a trickle of what they make from insider trading and their payments from lobbyists to vote for their bill. Now if it was you cannot have any income, like the TSA workers, that may have meaning but no paycheck for the job they don't do is meaningless.

Dave Miller said...

But it won't be.

Shaw Kenawe said...

Name that president, please, along with the evidence for that accusation.

Dave Miller said...

I'm not sure Skud. 🤔

I'm sure you're speaking of Biden, right?

Let's see some evidence, I mean besides statements from the GOP. And yes, if it is from a credible source, at least I'll accept it. But not accusations, something that is verifiable.

You see, that's the difference from us crazy progressives and ppl like you and sailors on the HMS Mothership. We can usually bring the receipts. And with Hunter, little has been verified.

But let's assume everything people believe, but have no proof, is real. All of it. That would mean Biden enriched his family, during the time he was out of office, by trading on the Biden name, to the tune of about $10 million.

How much has Trump and his family alleged to have brought in through Crypto scams, business scams trading on the presidencies, direct payments from foreign governments to him and his businesses, etc., etc?

I'll save you time. It's in the billions.

All of us here said, at the time, regarding the Bidens that we did not believe it for lack of evidence. But we also said fine, let the DOJ and the GOP investigate. They both did and came up with tax evasion. For which Hunter Biden was tried, by the Biden DOJ, and convicted.

Sure Biden pardoned him, and again, some of us folks here, myself included, complained.

If you are so angry about Biden on this front, where there was a federal investigation, but no evidence, where's your anger at Trump and his family?

Two faced amigo.

Dave Miller said...

Shaw... on second thought, if the Dems wins the House or Senate, it will be investigated.

Les Carpenter said...

Hopefully they win both and impeach the criminal felon preznit trump. And then remove the criminal from office.

Dave Miller said...

Les... that's the fever dream of many. I get it. But here's a far more likely scenario.

The Dems win at least one house this year. Then investigations start. They of course will show rampant corruption and self enriching crimes from Trump and his entire family.

Trump will endure until the last possible moment. Maybe even Jan 19th, 2028. Then he will resign and a President Vance will issue sweeping pardons to Trump and his family for any and all crimes committed or potentially committed. Just like Ford did with Nixon.

Under the 25th amendment, a VP instantly becomes President upon death, incapacitation or resignation of a sitting president. Instantly, becoming the key word.

skudrunner said...

Dave, Where are the "receipts" for the billions trump "allegedly" made illegally. Oh that's right raskin said it so it must be true. Neither side deals in facts just rumors and most die out when the next rumor surfaces.
We have a totally corrupt system and to divert attention from the crooks in congress they focus your attention to the other party so you don't have to look into your own team.
McConnell, shumer, thune, johnson, shift, sanders all all a joke yet we pay attention to their antics instead of making them do their job.
I'm against both parties but would like to see a politician who wants to represent the taxpayer instead of themselves. You probably don't agree with my opinion because it is both parties are totally corrupt not just one. Of course I favor paying TSA instead of funding illegals but that is just me.

Les Carpenter said...

skud claims to be against BOTH parties. Yet ALL of his burps indicates that is but a trump statement.

Dave Miller said...

Skud... many of those receipts are under a gag order from Trump appointed Judge Aileen Cannon. But...

The Trump family launched World Liberty Financial, which sells the $WLFI crypto token. A House Judiciary Committee report points out that a business entity associated with the Trumps receives 75% of the net protocol revenues and 22.5 billion WLF tokens, meaning the family profits directly from the sale of these assets.

Trump and his affiliates have promoted the $TRUMP meme coin, reportedly earning hundreds of millions in fees and unrealized gains. Again, this is from the House Judiciary Committee.

Taken together, these two ventures alone, worthless meme coins neted the Trump family over a billion dollars in wealth.

If we add in the various deals Jared and Ivanka have done the numbers grows exponentially.

All of this is in the public record and available for us everyday "joes" to scrutinize. No one is disputing any of this.

But you must have misread my post where I said... "But let's assume everything people believe, but have no proof, is real. All of it. That would mean Biden enriched his family, during the time he was out of office, by trading on the Biden name, to the tune of about $10 million.

How much has Trump and his family alleged to have brought in through Crypto scams, business scams trading on the presidencies, direct payments from foreign governments to him and his businesses, etc., etc?"


I think I've been pretty openly critical of "my own team" as you call the Dems, despite my words frequently critical of them. You on the other hand call Trump a bad guy, but I don't recall any issues with his policies, his self enrichment or anything else you slam Dems for.

What is that?



Dave Miller said...

BTW... we are not funding "illegals" and the Dems have brought TSA funding up more than 10 times and the GOP has voted it down every time. So while you might be in favor of TSA funding, the ppl you vote for and support are not.

Shaw Kenawe said...

OpenSecrets is widely regarded as a highly reliable, nonpartisan, and independent source for tracking money in U.S. politics. It is frequently cited by journalists and researchers as a neutral authority, with Media Bias/Fact Check (MBFC) rating it as "least biased" and high on factual reporting.

Here is its website where it tracks how Trump and his family are profiting off his presidency.

It appears to me that you easily accept any rumor about Democrats' profiting as politicians and have no curiosity as to how Republicans do it. I found, easily, many sources reporting Trump's shameful profiteering as POTUS.

Here's the link to Open Secrets which itself has links to data on how Trump & family is profiting off his presidency.

skudrunner said...

BTW Dave... Demands for ICE to not wear masks, unlike antifa, revamp immigration enforcement and reduce the funding for ICE/BP. Your party says we are all about illegal's rights and we will hold the American Public hostage until we get our way. Sir biden opened the border and let millions in and the democrat candidates said they should get healthcare and be allowed to roam the country until they have a hearing and see if they show up in five years. What happened to citizens rights.

I have no idea how much the trump family has made and if it turns out there were illegal actions then they should be prosecuted and that includes donald. I would say the same thing about the pelosi's, clinton's and bush's.

Don't you love it how the governor of NY now wants Les's oligarch's to return so they can continue with their aggressive spending social programs. In other words return so we can give your money away.

Shaw Kenawe said...

skud: "Demands for ICE to not wear masks, unlike antifa..."

You are aware, skud, that ICE is part of the US Homeland Security dept. and is, therefore, subject to the laws of the US? A federal judge in West Virginia ruled in February 2026 that systematic masking during civil immigration arrests violates the Fourth Amendment. The court found that "force without a face" eliminates accountability, which is a structural condition of law enforcement authority. Opponents argue that masking deprives individuals of their right to identify who is detaining them, which is essential for legal accountability and due process.

Antifa is NOT part of the US government.

The rest of your generalizations is your OPINION, not backed up by any evidence but by what your sources of information tell you.

As for your opinion that Democrats demand undocumented humans should get healthcare, here are the facts, not an opinion:

"Under current federal law, undocumented immigrants are not eligible for full Medicaid coverage or to purchase coverage through the ACA Marketplaces. They are only covered by "Emergency Medicaid" for immediate, life-saving care, a policy that has existed since 1986.

While not a federal policy, several Democratic-led states (such as California, Illinois, and New York) have used their own state funds to provide healthcare coverage to certain undocumented immigrant populations, particularly children, pregnant women, and sometimes adults.

Fact-Check Verdict: Fact-checkers have described the claim that Democrats are pushing for federal "free health care" for undocumented immigrants as misleading or false, noting that the legislative proposals in question do not change the federal prohibition on providing full benefits to undocumented individuals."


Again, you post "misleading/false opinions about Democrats wanting to give "free healthcare" to undocumented humans.

You and others of your ilk may balk at giving undocumented humans emergency care if their lives are in danger, but millions of Americans would rather live in a country that didn't treat human beings as disposable flotsam and jetsam because of their citizenship status.

Les Carpenter said...

Yes skud, MUCH better to spend trillions of dollars building weapons of war, destruction, and death than to invest in the health (physical and mental) and welfare of ALL Americans. As well as the heath of the planet from which we all obtain sustenance.

The ignorance displayed by the I, me, and mine mentality of the materialistic minded of the USA and MAGA lies at the core of most of humanity's greatest problems. Capitalism, colonialism, and Empire "Christianity" are the roots of greed and the I, me, and mine illusion. The illusion od self that the west has always enthusiastically embraced.

But skud and trump know best. All the indicators say so. At least fot as long as illusion is your thing.

skudrunner said...

Ms. Shaw, It was OK for president biden to mask the country to protect us but not for ICE to hide their identify to protect them. How does that make sense unless you want ICE eliminated by any means. There has been no demand for protesters to not wear masks because they don't want to be identified when they throw objects at LEO's or burn cars and businesses.

I will assume you did not watch the clown show, aka democrat debates, when asked if "undocumented" should receive healthcare.
"Immigration was a hot topic at the second night of debates as the crisis at the border escalates amid troubling reports of inhumane treatment. When asked if they would support granting health care coverage to U.S. residents, regardless of immigration status, all candidates raised their hands."
WSJ "All 10 Candidates Support Health Care for Undocumented Immigrants"

It didn't say emergency care it said healthcare and yes there is a difference. Others of my ilk want our politicians to do their job for everyone not just selected groups.

Others of my ilk want politicians to not use their positions to build massive wealth through insider trading. Others of my ilk want a citizen legislature not a band of professional politicians with no have no of real life. I guess others of your ilk fell differently.

Dave Miller said...

Once again Skud... the Dems are not my party. I've voted for plenty of independents, Republicans and Dems over my life. If I could be categotized it would be like this...

If you cannot or will not state that GW Bush won both the 2000 and 2004 elections, that Obama won 2008 and 2012, that Trump won 2016 and 2024 and that Biden won 2020, you'll never get my vote, or support.

If you cannot say the pardons of the people who brutally beat over 120 Capitol Officers, who chanted "Kill Mike Pence", and who defaced the US Capitol to the tune of millions of dollars of damage, you'll never get my vote.

If you cannot say Nazism is wrong, you'll never get my vote.

And if you cannot say ALL political violence is wrong, you also will never get my vote.

Those are my red lines. If a candidate can meet those seemingly easy requirements, I'll listen, no matter the party.

On illegals, I've stated my views, I;ve written my views. I won't discuss that any longer with you because you've lied repeatedly or repeatedly mischaracterized my views and words.

BTW... the GOP finally did the right thing regarding TSA last night.

You said you have "no idea how much money the Trump family has made". Just apply the methods of investigation you've used to condemn repeatedly the Biden family to the Trump family and you'll have your answer.

But you won't, because you support Trump. I noticed you threw into the mix the "broken the law" canard. Again, Biden did not break the law and you continue to slander him on the money he has made. Same with Pelosi, same with Clinton.

I've got to wonder why you will give Trump grace you have never, nor ever will, accord others.

Again, I posit it's because you support him.

Dave Miller said...

Skud... BTW... again, regarding the bill to fund TSA the Senate passed last night, it did not deal with masks or contentious issues. Dems and MAGA disagree on that, so Dems said let's approve the non controversial stuff and deal with ICE later.

The GOP said no, 10 times. until last night. Last night they approved a bill they could have gotten in February and not caused total havoc for the families of TSA workers and travelers.

I gotta wonder why they waited so long to approve a bill they could have approved in February.

skudrunner said...

Dave, I think you have confusion. According to The Hill "The motion to advance the bill failed by a vote of 53 to 47. It needed 60 votes to advance. Centrist Sen. John Fetterman (Pa.) was the only Democrat to vote “yes.” It marked the seventh time since DHS funding lapsed on Feb. 14 that Democrats voted against the measure."

I have no idea how much money the biden family has profited from his name just like I don't have an idea about trump and his family. Since rumors are facts with some there is a rumor that the biden family made millions so it must be true. There was also a rumor that russia colluded with trump in 2016 so it must be true.

In today's age the vast majority of all violence is political. An illegal kills a women, political, ICE agents kill two people, political so just saying you are against violence is a political statement.

Les Carpenter said...

I wonder if it is because they know the MAJORITY of TRUE Americans are getting sick and tired of trump and his trumpublican BS.

Truth and Justice eventually wins. It may take longer than it should but eventually it will.

If this nation survives.

Grey One here, Google is googling my emails at the moment so I'm Anon until they decide to settle down.

Watching y'all interact with skud as they dance, spin, twist, and dodge every pointed question and refusal to provide any facts to bolster their comments. Glad I gave up trying to engage in dialogue with them as just reading their replies left me exhausted.

And that is the point I'm learning - exhausted that is. It was never about a meeting of the minds in civil debate. Nope, our fascist leaders want WeThePeople to be exhausted from the over the top cruelty, the in your face law breaking, and the deluge of disinformation which is spoon fed to the loyal base who regurgitate their talking points whenever startled with verifiable facts that do not fit their preprogrammed narrative.

LOL skud comparing Antifa with ICE - that was precious and an example as to what is causing the divide in our country. I mean, if skud can't understand the issue of masked lawmen rampaging in the streets, if they equate wearing a mask during a global pandemic with ICE not showing their faces as they murder us in the street... I just wonder how many brains people like skud possess because I see the difference but based on skud's continued comments on the topic, they've not a Scooby - doo (no offense to Scooby as he's a very good boy with a very good heart. skud? Let's just say the jury is still out).
