@unusual_whales I’m not a Trump supporter or hater. I hear his money is in a blind trust. Is this true? Is it more accurate to say an active broker is making all these moves in a very dynamic market in his name?
@ElonMuskSucks97@AlecMacGillis@amandacarpenter So now we are in the realm of “we know he did it we just can’t prosecute it” (surely you know Biden sold access)
Now Trump claims “blind trust, broker, Pelosi defense”? Sons legitimate biz people running legit businesses. Good luck, it’s just for the noise.
@ElonMuskSucks97@AlecMacGillis@amandacarpenter Tony Bobulinski (a Hunter Biden business partner) has thoughts.
You want to attack Trump that’s fine, I just think it’s a little too focused. I would simply appreciate a broader approach to the general corruption of Washington and not taking turns of exposing the “other” party.
@ElonMuskSucks97@AlecMacGillis@amandacarpenter Gross pics? It was “10% for the big guy”. There was no legit business but a trail of shell companies that did nothing but shuffle money around to make it difficult to trace.
Point is if you want rules governing family of politicians do it for all not ride the high horse for 1.
@MarioNawfal I would think Lebanon's attitude that they would prefer the removal of Hezbollah as an Iranian proxy within their borders would outweigh Iran's desire to have an Iranian proxy within the borders of Lebanon.
@OldKnavey@DavidAFrench Sure, legit businesses vs shell companies setup to shift funds around. Point is not to defend rampant Washington corruption using relatives with legit connections but when an opportunity arose to clearly define the problem of access abuse Washington deferred.
@OldKnavey@DavidAFrench Trump kids are business people who had businesses before daddy became president. Biden’s family had no business except selling access to government. “10% to the big guy” was especially egregious.
@ianbremmer It would have been an interesting case to consider. What are the parameters of due process? How vague can the details be (Don’t know when the incident took place)? Can you administer a punishment for “being the type of person who might do such a thing”?
@MarioNawfal I’ll never get the acceptance of Persian/Shiite dominance in the Arab/Sunni region in a world that supposedly questions “colonialism” and oppression especially over an indigenous populace. It’s almost as if that were simply an anti-West screed & not against actual colonialism.
@mazemoore@seanmdav When Epstein was arrested we were told there were video tapes of these “Johns” with these underage girls. Evidently that was untrue.
Without proof making accusations is an invitation to a defamation lawsuit.
What we have now is pure politics.
@HartageHolyMona@afalkhatib@SpencerGuard What’s to understand. Some Palestinians want to acknowledge the brutality of Hamas leadership by protesting that leadership. The leadership will acknowledge the protestors with a brutal put down. Gaza, Iran you pick the Middle Eastern Muslim country that tolerates protest.
