US Politics and Trump Category IV - I've never even heard of one that big before

[Emjay]

No, Buka is merely exhorting the first retort he can thinks he can use to dismiss your exposure of his hypocrisy without having to address it directly.

@buka001 --> any truth to this?

 

[Gnarls]

Burden of proof lies with the accusers last I checked, unless you want to throw away the presumption of innocence like Nervous Nancy?

Been there done that. See cerebus vs Justice Brett Kavanaugh for the applicable case law.

@buka001 --> any truth to this?

See above, if he becomes president and channels government funds to his pocket like Trump, this would be corrupt and equally outrageous.

Don'y know enough about Bloomberg. If he is doing so now, he should be struck off the role.

 

[Gingerbeardman]

The further links I added detail the events he has hosted at his properties

So... gold plated caviar dinners, yes? Or no?

Quote specifics please.

What your blind sycophantic adherence to Trump ignores is that by spending money at Trump's properties, because Trump told them to go to his property, Trump profits. If they spent that money at Camp David, Trump gets nothing. So why does he choose to go to his venues? Conflict of interest.

Probably because he likes them. You're not really suggesting that his whole plot to become a corrupt president revolves around charging guests a fee for their stay and food, are you?

Are his small hands supposed to make him prone to petty ambitions or what?

Just like the tenders. The government would have spent the money on food anyway, but the guy who decided, chose his wife, so he can profit.

Do you have any evidence to show that the expenditure was not competitive with general market rates?

Part of the reason I firmly think billionaires (or extremely rich people) shouldn't be president. It's crying out for conflicts of interest.

Thread says "US Politicis and Trump", not "Trump only".

You're right. It should be included, but I missed that news on Bloomberg too. All I'd read was there was a possibility of him running.

Michael Bloomberg - Wikipedia

That networth. Jeeez, I'd just wanna kick back and enjoy life before kicking the bucket. Screw politics.

That's really a non-answer. I suspected you were talking nonsense, but wanted to give you the benefit of the doubt as I didn't want to go on the defensive against a bad faith post. I don't really have a reason to with you. If it was done in bad faith, that's pretty sad, tbh.

Trump used to be Democrat and turned Republican, Bloomberg did the opposite.

Bloomberg is only running cuz he's shitting his pants regarding Elizabeth Warren after it became apparent that Biden's gone too senile to challenge her.

It matters not if the costs were competitive. They would certainly be cheaper at Camp David as the employees are employed by the government, but this is a distraction by you.

The fact that he gets the government to spend money at his resort, which ends up in his pocket is a conflict of interest and corrupt as he is directing government funds into his pocket. By any definition of the term conflict of interest, this hits it.

Keep spinning, like I said earlier, the arrival of Trump allowed me to understand the sycophantic defense of Malema and Zuma.

You are doing a great job here of illustrating this effect.

It's funny how Trump claims to not watch CNN and dismisses them as fake news, yet he often knows specifics about their commentary on him, and he wanted Zelensky to announce on CNN that they were going to investigate the Bidens. Fox News must feel scorned by this.

I have no idea about Bloomberg. Your post was the first I had seen he was running. Like I said if he is running and is elected, I severely doubt he can disinvest and if he then proceeds to line his pockets, that is equally as corrupt and outrageous.

I certainly won't support him.

 

[Gingerbeardman]

If the costs are competitive then there's no irregular expenditure since the costs are in line with what would otherwise be expected, and the fact that Trump benefits financially is incidental. Even if we assume that Camp David would be cheaper, there's zero indication that Presidents are in general forbidden from arranging get-togethers at private as opposed to public venues.

That you can't compute this obvious reality shows that you're suffering from TDS and allowing emotion to cloud your judgement.

The government would have to spend that money anyway as part of the regular expenditures pertaining to the administration of an entire country.

You still haven't explained what is unreasonable about my specifications. Ignoring my points is not how you address them.

You are doing a great job here of illustrating this effect.

I think you should try looking in a mirror.

 

[greg0205]

Gen X are a myth because they are only ever spoken about in hushed tones. Especially when you hitting close to the big five oh. Right, Greggypants?

See! Totally overlooked!

The world dropped off the boomers and drove straight by us to pick up millennials.

Anyway, Dave Grohl, Eddie Vedder, Lars Ulrich, Axl Rose, Gregg Alexander, Dave Matthews, Lenny Kravitz, Anthony Kiedis, the Gallaghers, Alanis Morissette, Beyoncé, Robert Downey Jr, George Clooney, Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Keanu Reeves, Will Smith, Leonardo DiCaprio, Jake Gyllenhaal, Jon Stewart, Quentin Tarantino, Sam Mendes, Peter Jackson, David Fincher, the South Park guys, Amazon and Google all say "Hi!"

If you watched yesterday, you would have learnt from your 'bombshell witness' that Zelensy said he was doing a cnn interview and would use that opportunity... trump, guliani and co never said anything about having to do anything on cnn

Come on, we all know he watches it. He's a narcissist (Ty auto correct), he wants to know what he deems as **** is being spoken about him. He's also on Twitter, a lot, so he'll be exposed to it there too.

The fact that Trump profits from the government, through his direction and choosing is what is unreasonable.

 

[Unhappy438]

Gawd he said 'hillary' *awaits triggered outrage*

Be honest, all sorts of things happened in your pants when he did?

Go hawk your TDS elsewhere, I ain't buying.

 

[cerebus]

Go hawk your TDS elsewhere, I ain't buying.

Yeah go hawk your fully constitutional TDS elsewhere

 

[buka001]

Go hawk your TDS elsewhere, I ain't buying.

Exactly what EFF and ANC supporters would say after they ran out of logical reasons to justify the corruption and conflicts of interest.
