I invite the Repub posters on the board to have a serious discussion, absent whataboutisms, about.....

[Harry Dresden]

I've been looking at this for nine years now, and here's where I am at the moment:

In order for a person to be willing to ignore, avoid, deny and forgive this much, they have to essentially be desperate. We've all heard Trump warn his flock many times, "you won't have a country any more". And again, the world has seen this before -- a country in such shitty shape that its populace is willing to turn itself over to an authoritarian.

The problem here is that the voices they choose to trust have convinced them that things are far more desperate than they really are. So they've taken valid (in my opinion) concerns and inflated them into existential threats. And that's why the flock just doesn't care about his constant transgressions, regardless of how bad or destructive they are. These people are desperate.

and your side doesnt do the same thing?...

Attorney William A. Burck, global co-chair of law firm Quinn Emanuel LLP, will serve as the Trump Organization's outside ethics advisor.

"In his role as outside Ethics Advisor, Mr. Burck will assist The Trump Organization in the development, implementation and maintenance of internal ethics policies, procedures, and controls designed to avoid any perceived conflicts of interest," the Trump Organization said in a statement. "Mr. Burck will also oversee the review of material transactions to ensure full compliance with ethical standards."

The Trump Organization also said the company "will not enter into any new material transactions or contracts with a foreign government, except for Ordinary Course Transactions." It said Trump would have limited access to the Trump Organization's financial information and that it would donate all profits from foreign government patronage, through hotels and similar businesses, to the U.S. Treasury. The President-elect's investments will be independently managed by outside institutions.

I'm sorry to say the lack of replies from Repubs suggests something disturbing. Something those of us on the "other side of the aisle" have been asserting for some time. Namely, trump's supporters are not inclined to confront basic truths about the man they voted for. Perhaps because it reflects poorly on themselves.

My apologies to any Repub who gave a serious reply but that I didn't see cuz I have you on ignore. There are 78 of you.

The thread is a troll.

this topic. Do you understand Sen. Rochester's concern over trump's "financial entanglements?" PLEASE, no "ya but" replies, no "why do you hate trump?" replies, just your considered opinion on the subject matter.

Trump’s crypto agenda is being threatened by his pursuit of personal profits​

Sen. Lisa Blunt Rochester of Delaware was one of the four. She pointed directly at Trump’s financial entanglements.

“I also remain concerned about the ongoing self-dealing and financial conflicts of interest being carried out by the Trump family,” she wrote in a statement on Thursday.

It’s not just about the $TRUMP and $MELANIA meme coins. There’s also the Trump family crypto venture World Liberty Financial, which was established last year and launched a stablecoin just as the administration pushed for looser regulations on digital assets.

Reports have indicated that Abu Dhabi-based MGX is using Trump’s stablecoin for a $2 billion investment in crypto exchange Binance, creating yet another potential conflict of interest for a sitting president.

Trump's stablecoin chosen for $2 billion Abu Dhabi investment in Binance, co-founder says​

May 1 (Reuters) - A stablecoin launched by Donald Trump's World Liberty Financial crypto venture is being used by an Abu Dhabi investment firm for its $2 billion investment in crypto exchange Binance, one of World Liberty's co-founders said on Thursday.
It's the latest in a series of Trump family crypto-related ventures, including a "meme coin" launched in January, that have drawn criticism from government ethics experts and political opponents over potential conflicts of interest.

Whether trump is benefitting financially from being prez is no longer in question. The question is are Repubs okay with it and if so why?

Your desperation is cute, buttercup.

 

[berg80]

Whatabout you supporting a, literally, brain dead man for four years and swallowing that lie the entire time - thinking you have an ounce of validity to give an opinion on others?

PLEASE, no "ya but" replies, no "why do you hate trump?" replies, just your considered opinion on the subject matter.

 

[berg80]

78 on ignore and you want a serious discussion?...only pussies put people on ignore for challenging what they say...are you one of them pussies berg?...

I don't mind having my beliefs challenged. I mind your brand of idiocy.

 

[berg80]

The Trump Organization also said the company "will not enter into any new material transactions or contracts with a foreign government

Then this........A stablecoin launched by Donald Trump's World Liberty Financial crypto venture is being used by an Abu Dhabi investment firm for its $2 billion investment in crypto exchange Binance, one of World Liberty's co-founders said on Thursday.

[Nuthin' Fancy]

So his crypto pump-and-dumps are "business deals"???

WHILE being president.

This is a cult.

I am not a republican and I literally could care less. Crypto will have its day of reckoning. If Abu Dhabi is willing to put to put $2B, more power to those who take the idiots' money.

YOU? Have a serious discussion? If you want to have a serious discussion then you have to come into it without a bias, which is clearly something you cannot do. Posting several anti-Trump posts per day does not invite serious discussion.

 

[Harry Dresden]

This is a cult.

you have been sucked in to that other big cult out there mac....wake up...

 

[berg80]

and your side doesnt do the same thing?...

You just can't break the whataboutism habit.

 

[Oddball]

you have been sucked in to that other big cult out there mac....wake up...

Self-awareness isn't anywhere to be found there.

 

[22lcidw]

I used to hear all the time about money that Biden supposedly made from Ukraine and China.

No problem there, right? Just improving his financial position in the world, right?

It must be all of the technologies that look a lot like ours that fooled us.

 

[Harry Dresden]

You just can't break the whataboutism habit.

so your never supposed to say..."gee havent you done the same shit your bitching about?"....you dont like being questioned do you?..

It is but..........

No, I don't. Neither do you. You just have to be willing to comment on what is happening in the real world.
