Ballroom Donors Have $279 Billion in Federal Contracts

[Stann]

Am I the only one who sees “Ballroom Dancers” instead of “Ballroom Donors” when this thread creeps up to the top of the list?

The ballroom donors are dancing around the law.

$300 billion in federal contracts for for 1/10th of that in donations?

And the rest have or until recently had cases pending that could have cost them millions in fines and such.

Isn't that what we call "quid pro quo"?

"Most of the publicly identified donors to President Donald Trump’s White House ballroom have high-stakes business before the administration, ranging from billions in government contracts to federal investigations into their companies,” the Washington Post reports.

“More than half of the companies that donated are facing or have recently faced federal enforcement actions tied to alleged wrongdoing that includes engaging in unfair labor practices, deceiving consumers and harming the environment.”

Oh boohoo! Multi-billion dollar corporations have had long standing government contracts for years. But now your butthurt about it because they are donating to help build an addition to the White House?

You people are such drama queens.

Pull yer head out of your ass.
Trump in a known con man.

Now he is just doing it 'out in the open' and bragging about it.

So you’d rather your taxes pay for it?

Nothing is free Sweetie.

That's cute you believe this LIE.

No , that would be trump. Everything with him is exaggerated.

 

[Stann]

Our taxes will only increase with trump.

 

[theHawk]

Our taxes will only increase with trump.

Have they ever gone down with Democrats?

At least the Democrats feed and gave health care to the working poor. For some crazy reason ( trump ) republicans believe only the super rich deserve help.

 

[Bootstraps]

Democrats are getting orange balled thinking about the new construction and all the conspiracies. Good stuff.

 

[struth]

Better take a good comprehensive look at where trump is taking US = to the cleaners.

Actually are tax revenue has increased drastically since he took office https://fiscaldata.treasury.gov/ame... income received,trillion in fiscal year 2025.

We are up 6 percent

 

[Superbadbrutha]

That is awesome

The party of Law and Odor, excuse me I mean Order doesn't care about that anymore.

 

[dudmuck]

Yet the half assed link offers zero examples of this alleged wrong doing by these donors. Sounds like another BlueAnon conspiracy theory.

 

[Crepitus]

Nice to see the folks getting contracts from the feds giving back

Why do you think it’s backwards to give back?

Why do you think it’s backwards to give back?

No, I think it happened the other way 'round.

 

[struth]

No, I think it happened the other way 'round.

You got any evidence to support your claim these donors didn’t have any federal contracts before?

I find it hard to believe Apple, Meta, Google, Amazon, Lockheed Martin Microsoft, or Union Pacific railroad never had a federal contract

The party of Law and Odor, excuse me I mean Order doesn't care about that anymore.

But you have no proof

 

[Superbadbrutha]

But you have no proof

You just ignore the proof

 

[Leo123]

Well, how about the other way around. The companies, the rich, know they control government, they know money talks, and they know the politicians that will do anything for money. That's the US system.

No that's the Marxist Democrats.

 

[Leo123]

Dude, he has subverted the DOJ. They won't even acknowledge a crime was committed, much less prosecute.

Biden subverted the DOJ.
