I really don’t understand true greed. If I was worth $1 trillion, you’d have to physically stop me from solving as many of the world’s problems as possible.
Everyone would have a home, food on the table, proper healthcare, happiness.
I just don’t get it.
#BREAKING: Velshi: “What if I told you this? The Trump administraction had ALREADY spent 50 TIMES that much in taxpayer money to build his ballroom? What if I told you Trump had already taken $50 billion out of the U.S. treasury and spent it, all as part of what looks very much like a pay to play scheme to finance his vanity project? And I’m not making this up, a brand new report from the government watchdog group Public Citizen looked into the private donors who are supposedly funding the Trump ballroom as a gift. Guess what their investigation found? ‘More than half of the publicly identified donors…have won new or expanded federal contracts worth more $50 billion during the past six months.’ The report also found that most of the same companies are also facing federal enforcement actions over alleged wrongdoing and that some have had such actions suspended by the Trump administration since the start of Trump’s second term.”🙄
@hughlaurie@jan_murray@unherd I once said “I love spinach and have it almost every day” and was pelted with reasons not to eat spinach often. No matter what’s said, someone will oppose it. Your exchange on both sides was very civil. And me? I love House for the relationships *and* the medical storylines!
You should ask yourself why all of the people who are screeching about election fraud on social media are always unwilling to repeat these claims under oath.
Let me help you: it’s because they know they’re full of shit. The entire purpose is to keep people angry.
LIE. I was there. They were walking through the building, destroying property, spreading feces on the walls, stealing things, rioting and threatening to kill the Vice President. But other than that . . .
