Q1: — Do you believe the story below, or is it just another Russian/Democrat disinformation campaign?
Q2: — If you believe it … how does it change your opinion of Trump?
============================ =
Business Insider reports the following (you need a subscription … here are on the details);
1)- Jared Kushner approved the creation of a shell company that secretly funneled millions of dollars in campaign cash to Trump family members
2)- The company, American Made Media Consultants Corporation took more than half of the Trump campaign’s massive $1.26 billion war chest.
3)- The company was largely shielded from having to publicly report financial details.
4)- Trump’s daughter-in-law Lara Trump was the company’s president.
5)- Vice President Mike Pence’s nephew was its VP.
6)- Trump campaign CFO Sean Dollman was treasurer and secretary.
7)- Campaign staffers knew of the company but had no idea how it was spending money.
8)- The Campaign Legal Center filed a civil complaint with the FEC in June accusing the Trump campaign of laundering $170 million dollars.
9)- A campaign spokesperson denied everything.
============================= =
Me?
Q1: Jared Kushner is just as big a Dirty Weasel as Hunter Biden. As such, I believe the story has a ring of truth to it.
Q2: I’ve changed my mind about Trump at least a half dozen times since the day he announced he’s running for POTUS. Currently, I view him in a positive light. Specifically, I believe he gave it his best shot to drain the swamp. But, if this story is true — I don’t have the time to chase it down — then it changes everything. If true, he’s just another Swamp Rat, even worse than the rest because he deceived us.
THE END
“Q2: I’ve changed my mind about Trump at least a half dozen times since the day he announced he’s running for POTUS.”
That’s because The Truth Does Not Exist.
I call our current time “The Entering”.
Entering what? The new dark age.
Jeremiah 50:
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Jeremiah+50&version=KJV
15 Shout against her round about: she hath given her hand: her foundations are fallen, her walls are thrown down: for it is the vengeance of the Lord: take vengeance upon her; as she hath done, do unto her.
That one bears some thinking about… a little Apocalyptic spin on the Golden Rule.
I think we are smack dabbed into the End Times. Walked with my neighbor yesterday and we discussed the very realish possibility we might end up hosting refugees from urban areas. I stopped in my tracks and told her I did not want to live in a time of total war. She told me it wasn’t up to me. Then she said “Onward.”
And we finished our walk without talking about the remnant stuff. I always told people I was preparing a place for the remnant. Didn’t plan to be one.
Wipper, I think this guy has the most accurate take on the situation. He met with Trump for 4 hours last Friday. And I think he’s super smart and read the situation perfectly. It’s long so skip the first five minutes.
I have been entertained by President Trump these past four years, and wasn’t that the purpose of having a reality TV star in that role?
Trump surrounded himself with swamp creatures in his cabinet yet he played the role of trying to clean up the swamp even as he wallowed in it.
Do I believe he enriched himself, his family and his friends at the expense of “We the People” and against the rule of law?
Of course I do.
That what they all do at that level of politics. Which is why it’s probably time to burn it all down and try our best to start over.
I guess they were right when they said we were never going back to the normal of 2019. And that’s a darn shame.
I wanted to believe that a guy worth a few Billion dollars wouldn’t be able to be corrupted by some extra cash.
======
You’re probably right.
If so, then why are so many folks here STILL hoping he stays in office??
Because the alternative of Biden, then Kamala, seems (and will be) much worse.
Stucky is just like a girl. Always changing his mind.
Trump 2020
MAGA
KAG
Brad – He did give us a lesson in female masturbation earlier today, so he may be much more girlish that we thought.
C’mon Stuck, get with the times. A lousy $170 million? That’s chump change. The quarterback who won the Super Bowl earlier this year got a new contract for $450 million. Now that’s starting to get close to some real money.
Btw, I seriously Trump has anywhere near a billion dollars in anything other than debt.
My opinion: should he decide to run again I’ll go and register to vote once more and vote for him. (PS-the dirty looks I got from the women over at the election office last week when I demanded to be taken off the voter rolls-like I was a traitor or something).
Sure, that sounds like Trump…. except for the one little (well, really little) thing.
EVERY government agency trashed every law, constitutional restriction and moral scruple looking for just ONE little crime they could hang a hat on. What did the find? SO MUCH NOTHING that they had to resort to blackmailing his supporters to give false testimony.
But other than that, yes – a huge crime family.
Trump may be the Gray Champion, but he is not indispensable. Nor is he immune to the same corrupting influence as all other men.
And, by the way, I think Trump’s comment that each adult in household should get $2000 instead of $600 was more of the 3D chess business.
I never really had any support for Trump being his not being Hillary. He is still not Hillary, but if he were to declare Martial Law to marshal support for a fair and objective recount of votes, and THEN, step aside from the election result (perhaps a 6 month emergency extension to his own officiating?), allowing a highly disciplined military team to count and report on the ballots, well then I might allow myself to be hopeful that his intentions for our country are indeed altruistic.
I don’t expect it to happen. I expect Lord Jesus to come walking down from the sky.
Why would you even bother to re count a collection of fake ballots? The software in the machines was
corrupt, the machines were corrupt, many ballots were re counted multiple times including with jump
drives at different poll stations. Many ballots were shredded and gone forever. Many States require no
proof of who you are: vote early, vote often. No postmarks, no signatures, no paper ballot, no nothing.
is a lot of “ifs” in my comment.
An examination of the ballots will reveal if they are fake or authentic. Its easy to discern whether the ink marking the ballot is from a pen or printer. Folded ballots leave creases and even ballot images will have those creases verifiable in the image. Ballots with matching signatures to more than one would be found. If a high amount of ballots are found then the vote cannot be certified.
The machines could have already been wiped by now, its an easy process. But the ballots themselves or their images could not be altered yet given the time frame.
Maybe the spineless republicans can play the demoncrap game of vote counting. Pence can require all the demoncrap politicals to leave the room. Then open the electoral college votes, deem Trump the winner, and shred the ballots and send them off to incinerate. Fair game.
Only those who show up at the polling station get to vote. Ballots are counted manually under constant and verifiable supervision. Hells bells, Texas got it done before sun up the next morning. If you think you have been ‘disenfranchised’ by the new, simpler rules, well, then that is just your tough fucking luck.
Nonsense. If we lose Trump, we are pretty fucked as a country, because that means whoever controls Dominion/Smartmatic now controls everything. He is absolutely the indispensable man.
So, you want people to comment on a story about alleged corruption of the Trump family that’s behind a paywall? Ever heard of copy and paste?
Good grief.
I do NOT have access to Business Insider …. I got the summary from another site, and pretty much copied the whole thing.
Epic fail, Mr. Cub Reporter.
Next time try copy and paste from the National Enquirer. The articles are more believable. 😉
Blow Me. 🙂
what happened to Heywood Jablomie?
Mags- Heywood is on of my posting names and I’m glad you brought him up cuz I haven’t used him in a very long time. EC won the prize for alternate names.
Nothing I post gets printed
Bwahahahhahahaha!
Anything rotten is possible from 666 Dual Stater Jared Kushner, and Trump wallows with Deep State mobsters; TPTSNB are all rotten in America. We can believe nothing we hear or see on the MSM or from governments or their expert analyst, universities, corporations, the MIC, Wall Street etc. We are adrift on an angry sea and have to trust the Sharks or the Vampire Squids? Pray for Trump’s second term and then if he doesn’t drain the swamp, redo 1776.
Whatever Trump might attempt to do to drain the swamp during a second term most likely is preferable to Joe/Ho. He can break all the dishes as long as he gets that job done. A redo of 1776 will consume too much time and be just another negotiated arrangement that no one can live with. Sometimes you have got to have an iron hand to get things done.
With all due respect, Stuck, to that I would say…. not even close. On the contrary. But, so far, Trump HAS given it his best shot at an appearance of trying to drain the swamp.
To answer your questions:
Q1: — Do you believe the story below, or is it just another Russian/Democrat disinformation campaign?
I see no reason to trust Business Insider, but that doesn’t mean the story isn’t partially, or completely, true or false.
Q2: — If you believe it … how does it change your opinion of Trump?
Short answer: Not applicable (because of my answer to Q1 above).
Longer answer: Over the past four years, I, personally, enjoyed the presentation of Trump in the same manner I would the ringleader of a circus. Except, in this particular circus, the tent has been set aflame by the owners of said circus and no one has, truly, been lead to safety by the ringleader; nor have the owners of the circus been correctly identified, let alone pursued or prosecuted. But, then again, was that really the responsibility of the ringleader?
You are probably correct. If so, I am embarrassed for myself regarding how easily I have misled.
I would like to see some kind of painful repentance here.
Trump 2020
I am sure you will find Stucky’s accounting of repentance and self flagellation in the National Enquirer.
Look for it under “C”, for choking chicken.
Nah, there’s nothing wrong with optimism, Stuck.
Certainly, in the months leading up to the 2016 election you were challenging the (then apparent?) mirage way before it was cool.
And, even now, the fact you posted this article shows you still have an open mind.
Sometimes I wonder, myself, if I am being overly cynical or am, instead, attempting to chide Trump’s giant ego into making proper use of the immense power the American people have provided him.
And then I wonder if that would be a good thing or a slippery slope.
Maybe he is simply outnumbered and we are too.
Or maybe not.
Either way, in a land of unicorns and rainbows, skepticism rains.
Genuine Americans always root for the underdog. Trump has brought out the vile hatred of the other side like no one before-even W. and his wars did not draw the bastards out like Trump did.
Stucky- Sniffing glue can lead to death.
A sober life, sensible food and regular moderate exercise leads to the same place.
This reminds me of the Russian dossier, which alleged that Trump engaged in sexual practices that somehow never came to light in his 40 years of public life. A little too good to be true. Let’s see the evidence.
The evidence went away with Hillary’s hard drives.
Trump is not our savior but a sign or signal that the end of the world as we know it is nigh.
Likely in the end The Swamp 1, Trump 0.
Hey, I have secretly funneled trillions to TBP members!
Well it was secret because I didn’t make my donation publicly known.
It were trillions, at least measured in Zim dollars.
And Jim is a TBP member, in the broadest sense.
Q1: q.e.d.
Q2: N/A
His legacy will be what he does to try and REALLY stop the Deep State and their election fraud in the coming weeks. Nobody who gets very far in politics or finance has a moral bone in their body. South Park had it right back in 2004 – Giant Douche or Turd Sandwich. Those are the ONLY choices allowed on the menu by the two-party oligarchy.
Q1-Kushner is absolutely not to be trusted with anything more than picking up a takeout lunch order. Not sure if the list is true but wouldn’t be surprised.
Q2-When I first heard Trump was running I considered him little more than a buffoon, but still miles ahead of ?Jeb? or 22 WinMitt. It turns out he “appears” to be a lot smarter than originally thought, but maybe not that smart after all. Banning bump stocks? WTF did that accomplish besides pissing a lot of his supporters off? After he was elected I had hopes of seeing $hillary frogmarching in orange, also hopes of seeing a lot of DC doing the same & the hammer of Thor coming down on the rest. Four years later same shit, just another day.
One fucking disappointment after another. No wall. No roundup of illegals. Nothing much but a few judges that haven’t proved to be worth a shit so far. He did make a number of people aware of the chicanery happening in DC. It was entertaining to a point. The jury is still out on the possibility he was a Trojan horse, or just not able to surround himself with the right people. Jarvanka Wormtongue (see Q1) apparently had something to do with his earlier failures, if that’s what they were.
If he was, in fact, robbed of the election & he does, in fact, leave the White House next month, I would hope he has been placing C4 strategically around the dykes (heh.. see what I did there?) that keep the swamp wet & toss a match at the fuse on the way out the door. But I wouldn’t bet my $600 or $2000 stimulus check on it. It’s time for the 4D checkmate… or something.
” 22 WinMitt” the best line in your remarks.
Susan Collins is already calling him out for burning the place down on the way out with his refusal to sign the $900 billion stimuless bill that will spend $2.3 trillion.
It came as a vision from Jehovah during the final proof reading so was included. 8-D
1. You are way wrong.
2. Stop picking on Darth Dove Hunter.
Hunter is a sleaze-bag and Jared is a slick jooboy I would not put anything beyond his ability to skim a few billion for himself and his family.
I still think Trump is what this country needed in ’16 and still needs today. He seems to have a deep-seated love for this country, unlike 95% of the dem & 80% of the rep politicians.
It is all a scam. Quite like professional wrestling. The only applicable question that makes any sense is “Did you find the Trump Presidency to be more entertaining than you thought the HRC Presidency would be?” Answer: Hell yes! Not more substantial and, maybe, not really much different in effrect, but a LOT more entertaining. I voted for him again. He may be a clown, but look at the choices… Hillary? No. Fuck no. Biden? Poor, addled, old shithead, they are going to sack him quick, maybe kill the old foolish sonofabitch and his harpy wife as well. Trump would be a lot more entertaining.
So when the ship of state slides ‘neath the waves (as she will regardless of which fool is at the helm) my choice will always be with the most entertaining candidate.
There, is that cynical enough for you Stucky?
You have a very clear vision of the script.
1.This is obviously a article seeking redemption/cover/diversion for the Teen Vogue/female masturbation article,nothing more/nothing less,sigh………….
Female masturbation, now you’ve got us interested…. i’m leaning on Melanie…. Pull out the insurrection act baby! Let the cities burn!!!
For admin:\
Pity the poor Chinaman whose job is to wash Nancy’s dildo after every use.
Ewe…gross.
Big deal, they went into office billionaires and came out billionaires. They were 99% less self-serving than any other admin in my lifetime. However, details are always trailing by a few years. Time will tell.
Never been a huge fan. That he didn’t do what he could, that he appointed political hacks, did not root out the enemy, did not veto every damn bill that came in front of him, did not get rid of asset forfeiture, said to take guns and worry about the legality later, etc. did not endear him to me.
He said much, acted too little.
A wasted opportunity.
Ok as a person who has met you, what is your upside? Is everything a psyoppp?
Is is possible to un-meet someone?
the story is basically true,but as paul harvey used to say,now 4 the rest of the story–
kushner,lara trump,pence’s family,none of them took a dime–the shell co was set up so that trump could buy campaign ads direct b/c one of the indispensable big boys in the campaign has a history of enriching himself by taking huge commissions on ad buying 4 the campaigns he is running–
trump was also not the 1st repub potus candidate to set up a shell co to do his ad buying–
I believe nothing unless it comes from someone I trust or has been proven by my own experience.
Nothing.
We no longer live in a era of trust. To continue to give the benefit of the doubt to those who have proven their inability to either tell the truth or to fact check (in the old sense of the term) their assertions seems somewhat foolish.
YMMV.
I used to waver on my faith in Trump but now I think his entire purpose was to administer the biggest scam ever perpetuated on the American people. When I consider that he was controlled op from the start, a lot of things that haven’t make sense over the last four years suddenly fall into place very neatly.
When you do a jigsaw puzzle ,sometimes you have that piece that’s mostly round but you can see one tiny straight part on the edge. You can’t ignore that straight part and jam it into a spot that needs a piece that will be 100% rounded.
That’s what the Q board has thrived on for the last 4 years – buckled puzzle pieces smoothed over with delusion.
Anyway, wishing everyone a Merry Christmas. I’m going to try to enjoy the holidays since God only knows what the fuck is coming in 2021.
