Goal-line Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 Trump belongs in jail along with his underling thugs. New reporting is that Trump has personal hygiene issues, fecal incontinence. This will not sit well with Bubba and the rest of the prison criminals. I am sure they will plan a "GI" shower with a blanket, a box of Tide Soap, and a stiff bristle scrub brush. Link to comment

Trump is childish and apparently must wear Depends while he points fingers at old Biden. Link to comment

TGHusker Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Just Trump being Trump - and the GOP bailing him out. Do something illegal and the cult in the House will fix it. https://news.yahoo.com/donald-trump-received-millions-dollars-150016728.html Quote WASHINGTON – Former President Donald Trump unconstitutionally profited from the presidency during his tenure in the White House, reaping millions of dollars for his business empire from foreign governments, House Democrats allege in an extensive report. Democrats on the House Oversight Committee released a 156-page report Thursday morning accusing Trump of exploiting the presidency to financially benefit himself and members of his family. Trump’s businesses, according to the report, received at least $7.8 million from corrupt and authoritarian governments including China, Saudi Arabia and Qatar. The report is the culmination of a nearly seven-year investigation. It says records and documents obtained by House Oversight Democrats reveal "a stunning web of millions of dollars in payments made by foreign governments and their agents directly to Trump-owned businesses, while President Trump was in the White House.” Among the report’s findings and records available to the committee, China made the most payments to Trump’s businesses during his tenure, spending more than $5.5 million at Trump Tower in New York and two of Trump’s hotels in Washington and Las Vegas. House Oversight Democrats specifically accuse Trump of violating the Constitution’s Foreign Emoluments Clause, which prohibits the president from profiting from foreign governments without the approval of Congress. The report notes that its findings are incomplete after House Republicans took control of the committee last year and halted the investigation, which the late Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., started in 2016 when he was the top Democrat on the committee. "It is true that $7.8 million is almost certainly only a fraction of Trump’s harvest of unlawful foreign state money, but this figure in itself is a scandal and a decisive spur to action," Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., the top Democrat on the Oversight Committee, wrote in the report's foreword. House Democrats issued a subpoena to Mazars USA, Trump’s former accounting firm, in 2019. Trump attempted to block the request but the Supreme Court upheld the subpoena in 2020. Trump, Mazars and the committee then controlled by Democrats agreed on a set of terms for Mazars to release its records on Trump. After Republicans took control of the committee, Mazars was eventually released from its legal obligation to provide relevant documentation to the Democrats’ investigation. As a result, the report “is a significant glimpse into former President Trump’s foreign financial dealings –but far from a comprehensive account of his unprecedented efforts to use the presidency to enrich himself and his family in direct violation of the U.S. Constitution.” The new details into the former president’s finances come as House Republicans continue their impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden and his family’s finances. GOP investigators have long alleged the president financially benefited from his family’s foreign business dealings. 1 Link to comment

ZRod Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Am I the only one thinking that $7.8M seems pretty meaningless to someone who's supposedly worth billions? Trump reportedly put all his business in his kids' names and wasn't involved during his tenure. Assuming Ivanka or Jared weren't listed anywhere on the business records (since they were actually working in the government), and they didn't setup these deals, I would assume you'd need some type of communication directly from Donald himself to try to link him to a violation of the emoluments clause. Which doesn't seem likely. 1 1 Link to comment
