There’s Already a Website Tracking Conflicts of Interest
There’s a new website that is tracking Cheeto Jesus’ conflicts of interest called Donald Trump is Corrupt AF. To save Momma’s ears, I won’t fully enunciate the AF, but if needed, you can find it here. We’ll be following this one since the opportunities for CJ to gain from conflicts is legion. The current count is 45, and we are still 41 days out from the apocalypse inauguration.
But, but, EMAILS! She sent emails!
1OT- was there a problem with this site yesterday afternoon? I couldn’t get here to save your selves all afternoon and I hadn’t been banned as far as I knew. It is working now. Color me curious and snowy.
2epo I had trouble too.
3I don’t know if it’s more amusing or more depressing that that web site exists. I’m leaning toward the latter, I’m afraid.
4This is going to be downright interesting. I’ve always liked a good piece of research myself!
5So what.
6The R’s don’t care in congress and will continue to probe Benghazi.
The judiciary is becoming a completely owned subsiderary of the thuglicans.
The d’s in congress have just shown themselves to be craven cowards by allowing the r budget with riders, expanded military spending etc to pass with hardly a whimper just a little kabuki to play for the fools back home.
So a crooked man, with a crooled campaign, based upon crooked vote suppression and questionable counts will seize the reins of government and all the d’s can worry about is being nice and hillary is AWOL just as she has been since her abject, and compete, surrender.
So who is going to hold any R responsible for any crimes?
Tricky dick and company got off, they came back under addled ronnie violated the Constitition with Itan/ Contra ( Executive Branch can NOT have independent funding source) and the D’s looked the other way. Poppa perjured himself for 6 years over Iran Contra diary’s and bogus budget numbers and the D’s said lets just move on Then after the texas D’s helped elect the twit the same criminals returned and commit war crimes beyond counting but then the D’s didn’t want to cause a fuss so ignore the criminals and move on.
The result is a kleptomaniacal egomaniac with thier finger on the button no respect for law or tradition with an eunach caucaus of r’s who will support anything to keep the power, like good apperachek and a democratic party being led by a president advising surrender ( Don’t be as obstructive to the idiot as the r’s were to me Obama) and an AWOL candinate who disappeared after assuring she, and hers, were taken care of and let the devil take the hindmost.
So we can catalog the crimes but no one will ever be held responsible.
It’s a 3 step solution. BLOTUS, Pence and Ryan. Release the drones and worry about democracy later.
7I couldn’t get to this site yesterday either but all is hunky dory today.
Thanks for the”AF” source El Jefe. Yes, the Cheetoh-faced Ferret-wearing Shitgibbon Cocksplat is as corrupt AF. That website is going to be very busy.
8Ken is 95% right. What 5% he got wrong I am not sure, but as with Dems, I don’t want to give them full credit because they will cause me to regret that decision.
9Thank You “e platypus onion” the onus of perfection would be to much for me to bear and I agree with your principle.
10Though what? ” I don’t want to give them full credit because they will cause me to regret that decision.”
What you expect them to develop a backbone in place of the wet noodle they have been showing since Harry Truman?
Maybe I’m just being a smug bastard. When I was in FL in the first decade of this century, I spent MUCHO time online reading everything I could. Trump was a special fascination, especially with his “Tower” in St. Petersburg… which never happened. His Atlantic City troubles was about this time, too. Oh, I learned ALOT about Donnie. So none of this, absolutely none of this, surprises or interests me. He’s playing to type, that’s all. He believes himself to be clever and gives himself the conceit of unpredictability. Ha! The wiser in the world see him for what he is. Putin reads him like a cheap novel. The man is transparent as glass and THAT will be our downfall. America you’re being played. Wise up.
11he’s nothing more than a richer grifter than most, JAKvirginia. he makes a lot of his money by specifically contracting with small to medium sized companies, companies who he knows don’t have the financial wherewithal to spend years and lots of money suing him, when he stiffs them on a contract. so he offers them 2/3 of what the contract said, they agree (because what else are they going to do?), and he walks off with that 1/3 as additional profit.
notice he doesn’t pull this shit with big companies, because they’ll ream him a new one. he pulls the same shit with banks though, because they don’t want his properties (banks aren’t in the real estate business), and get away with it, by threatening to declare bankruptcy, taking the bank down with him as well.
you might wonder, “gee, the guy has a long, long history of doing this, why on earth would anyone continue to do business with him?” and that would be a perfectly valid wonder. multiple reasons. one is that there is always some small business owner desperate for a deal, and doing a deal with Trump is still (for reasons I can’t fathom) seen as a coup, and good publicity. they will, of course, get screwed.
another is that a lot of companies who will still do business with him require a huge, up-front deposit, as part of the deal, recognizing that he will try and cheat him. they still get screwed, but not quite as badly as they would have, without the deposit requirement.
with the banks, I don’t think any reputable American bank will do business with him anymore. who wants to be the loan officer explaining that deal to the board of directors? yeah, none. so he must go abroad. those banks aren’t idiots either, but they try and cover their asses, by requiring lots of collateral, and hitting him with interest rates comparable to those on high risk credit cards. try building/buying a house, with loans at double-digit rates.
the talking yam has proven himself, over and over again, to be the world’s worst businessman, possibly ever in history. however, as we just saw, there are millions of people out there demanding to buy his brand of snake oil, and he’s happy to sell it to them, at hugely inflated prices (relative to other charlatan’s snake oil). based on his appointments so far, he’s planning on bringing his grifter’s road show to Washington. stock up on food boys & girls, it’s going to be a rough next 4 years.
