It's a quite easy concept actually.

I'm not arguing about your values, I respect that even if I disagree. IMO it's pro-American and pro-victims' rights to try him here. He committed the crime here and the justice should be meted here.

The prohibition against emoluments would not be affected by that. What would trigger the prohibition is if foreign donors bought it in bulk. Nobody ever said presidents can't write books.

Yeah this part I don't get. IMO try him and let the victims' family have justice here.

There are parts of the country where he would not have been released. You're right though, I get it better than most, it would be completely unsurprising in my city, but it would have nothing to do with him being an illegal alien.

IIRC the president’s son, a private citizen, was accused of putting a painting up for bid at 50K. I don’t know if that’s what he got. The actual President here has NFTs for sale so that’s probably a better comp. IIRC one sold for ~25K & another sold for 50K pre-election. The Doha Qatar Trump Org golf & hotel deal is part of a $5.5 billion complex.

Good example. Comer got down to Biden & Rosemont bank accounts, he got nothing going to the President, even as a private citizen or as VP. Comer pulled DOT data, he found nothing. But even so, IIRC the post-VP big guy scenario described (imagined) 10% of 40% of 20% of 1/2, or $40,000, for a contract that never happened.

This is the point. The amount of corruption is limitless & unpunishable.

Anyone heard anything about Gulf of Arabia map changes lately? Apparently our new pals in Iran nixed it.

Chinese investor in TikTok makes big TrumpCoin purchase. $300 million worth.

Ok I will listen, I did look at the piece from Lockheed. However we're talking about a massive amount of territory regardless, and the concept may be obsolete by the time we're finished. I'm pro national defense.

They've also donated to disaster relief in the US. They also support the Houthis, Hamas, Syrian terror groups, and are aligned with Iran. Also: We're negotiating with Iran about reviving the Obama era JCPOA Iran nuclear deal & the recognition of Palestine as a state. Money does buy you love I guess.

This isn't SDI. We already have SDI. This is a concept based on Israel's Iron Dome, which is a great system but which is designed to cover an area roughly the size of a third of southwest Louisiana.

Maybe I misread the OP. I thought the point was about medicaid fraud. It's a huge issue and it's been going on for years. There have been big arrests in my area under both parties.

GOP Sen. Rick Scott was CEO of a company, Columbia-HCA, which was found to have defrauded Medicare & Medicaid customers & the US government, to the tune of 14 felony convictions and $1.7 billion in fines and even greater damages. He's the GOP pointman for negotiating and talking about Medicare and Medicaid funding.

He's a marxist, not a liberal. He belongs to the PSL (Party for Socialism & Liberation), not the Democratic Party. They received 171K+ votes in the presidential election last year, the 5th most for any party.

It's terrorism.

And it's not just the plane: - After Trump1 he walked out with gifts to the US government. - He also received a massive necklace. - He's getting 2 hotel deals in the middle east. - The bit coin scheme is massive graft beyond anything ever seen in the US, by several fold.

First of all there isn't going to be a library. Second, Trump's personal plane is old, it regularly crapped out on the campaign trail, Trump being Trump will use the newer one with all the technology further gifted by the US government. Third, Trump has zero distinction in his mind about private vs public, the plane is his.

Ha. Well yeah, exactly, random online commenter used as ‘evidence’ on the highest global level. At one point he started randomly thumbing through printouts from unidentified websites, exclaiming ‘Death, death, death…’ Bizarre.

Someone in his administration showed Trump a video. Then the RSA *President contradicted him about the reality in the nation. So Trump, like some old grandpa who saw a horrible thing on the internet, shows this thing to the RSA President. And it turns out the person speaking in the video has nothing to do with the government. The parliamentary system is nothing like ours but it’s a small <10% minority party. Might as well show a video of a homeless guy yelling on a street corner.

Trump came across as a frightened old man today. Wild to think about what aides & foreign influencers are doing to his addled brain.

I probably should have just said that I agree with you on this subject, as I do.

^^Actual leadoff OP in this thread. Now I've never said that. But what's happening is that multiple red states, deep red states, are being ignored when it comes to disaster relief. The tornado warning system has been reduced by Trump's main benefactor, looks like the same thing is happening with the hurricane preparation system,. and DHS is openly discussing just eliminating FEMA altogether. Those are events under this administration.

More craziness. Same guy. - Though it's funny, Tillerson actually was holding the line against Trump's most pro-Putin instincts and Trump and maga came to hate him. It's possible same thing is happening with Rubio, but he knows he has to stick around first in order to have influence.
