The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

"Trump's top 10 grifts here."

yeah, but Hunter Biden did it too!!!!! /sarcasm

Personally, I'm against insider trading, no matter who does it. People like us would get the
book thrown at us if we did it and got caught, but not the elite-class, for them it's just a
perk. I can look at Pelosi or whomever on the Left doing it, and I say it's not right, the laws
should be changed, and they should be prosecuted if they do it while it's against the Law. It does not bother me 1 bit when a criminal gets prosecuted, no matter their political leanings.
Trump is taking the opposite approach, he's gutting regulatory and watchdog agencies, so he can grift away to his heart's desire. And so can all of his big buck donors.

The link that you posted shows a mind boggling amount of corruption by Trump. I'm not a lawyer,
so I don't know if it's all legal, but it is definitely dirty. A child's mind could deduce that.
But MAGA can read that link you posted, and they are not bothered in the slightest. Trump can not do anything wrong in MAGA's mind. Trump is taking full advantage of that mindset,lol, to put it mildly.

Pretty sure this LA-ICE-National Guard-Marines bullshit is just how Trump keeps the focus
off of all of his scummy dirty dealings. Real life consequences for the people caught in the middle of it, but we can be sure Trump is making dirty money off of it.
