Breaking international law is fine if you have the power to do it?

History is littered with the remains of empires that had this level of hubris.

They didn’t have a nuclear arsenal.

First sale of the stolen oil complete.  Proceeds sent to qatar.  Yes the same qatar that bribed trump with a gold plane.  The same qatar that pumped millions into the trump mem coin.  The same qatar that funds Hamas.

US gets first $500 million Venezuelan oil deal, holding some proceeds in Qatar | Semafor https://share.google/xgOe7OLARWwSZc7C1

Make qatar great again.

The level of corruption is mind boggling.

MAGA was so worried about Hunter Biden with hastily sketched together evidence but when corruption is staring them straight in the face they pretend they can't see it. 

 

Also, hopefully the Democrats can win back the House or Senate in November so we can get back to a legitimate checks and balance system in government as opposed to what we have now. That isn't a Trump thing.....no President should be given free reign to do whatever they want without getting pressed on it.

Ukraine! Hunter Biden! Burisma!

Trump: hold my beer

I don't get it.  Why is this corruption staring me in the face?

 

Revenue from the oil sales is currently being held in bank accounts controlled by the US government, as indicated in Friday’s order, according to the administration official. The main account, according to a second senior administration official, is located in Qatar.

 

The second official described Qatar as a neutral location where money can flow freely with US approval and without risk of seizure. Trump’s order noted that at least some of the revenue would be held in US Treasury accounts.

It’s in plain sight. But GOP members of Congress refuse to act. I find it shameful. The other option would be GOP voters demanding he be stopped. And they don’t seem to be doing that either. Almost like 77 million people are perfectly ok with this guy stealing their tax dollars to enrich himself. It baffles me.

I believe it'll get stolen.  Just not by Qatar or Trump.  I just don't see the angle is all.  

With Biden's kid it was so so so obvious.  Here, I don't see how trump steals it.  

I would assume the oil companies will get it as a subsidy for investing in repair of Venezuelan infrastructure.  

I guess maybe he could give it to chevron and the Chevron hires Trump's family for a job he doesn't do like Hunter?

Trump used the publicly funded US military to overthrow a sovereign government, then stole a tanker of oil and sold it to 2 companies that donated huge amounts to Trump, and the proceeds of that money are now sitting in a bank of a foreign country that donated billions to trump, and he decides what happens to that money.

Machado, who the venezuelans elected as president but Trump dismissed in favor of the corrupt chavistas, showed up at the White House and gave trump her nobel peace prize.  Trump accepted the medal and then wishes her well.

It boils down to where they choose to get their information. 

My deeply Republican father and I talked at length about some of this last night. He kept asking me how come the "news" doesn't cover this, and how did I know about it?

For the thousandth time, I said "Dad, the problem is where you get your information from."

For the first time ever, he didn't roll his eyes and dismiss it. Progress.

Biden’s was so so obvious but after years of Congress investigating they didn’t do anything. Yeah Hunter got hooked up because he won the birth lottery. 

In any case, Trump’s son in law gets billions to invest from the Saudis, his daughter gets patents in China fast tracked for her namebrand bullshit, Trump collects billions on meme coins and then gives their shady financiers pardons even though he doesn’t know anything about it (my personal favorite) on and on…

If this cash is getting stolen my money is on Trump Org getting their piece somehow

Another  that doesn't know anything about anything. Yapping away again.
