Manhattan DA going after Bannon for the crimes Trump pardoned him for since he can only pardon federal offenses. Will be interesting since Bannon accepting the pardon is considered an admission of guilt.

Business man who made lots of money before president still made money from that business while he was president.

Here is my shocked face that you don’t understand and thought the title of the article meant something else.

we might found out if that first part was ever true

but he certainly exploited the office to make money

my shocked face you didn't care about draining the swamp and support this lol

Despite seeing a major dropoff in hospitality related revenue in 2020 due to the pandemic, in total Trump disclosed at least $1,613,583,013 in revenue from the Trump Organization and other outside income. Trump disclosed a high end of $1,790,614,202, but it is impossible to know exactly how much he pocketed as president, as some of his assets list a vague “Over $5,000,000” in yearly income and because of the structure of Trump Organization businesses, reported revenue does not necessarily reflect his personal income from them. One of the reports also included 19 days of revenue and income before Trump assumed the presidency.

A major part of his Trump Organization revenue came from the marquee properties that he often visited during his presidency. The Trump Hotel in DC, his now “home” Mar-a-Lago and his golf courses Doral, Bedminister and Trump National Washington brought in a combined $620,709,659 over the last four years

He also, over and over again, directed government spending to his properties, from his insistence on doing government business at Mar-a-Lago to Mike Pence staying at Doonbeg when he had meetings all the way on the other side of Ireland to his attempt to host the G-7 Conference at his struggling Trump National Doral property.

The argument could be made that Trump needed the presidency to keep his struggling business empire above water and the profits flowing into his pockets. The Trump Hotel in DC defied all expectations to quickly turn a profit despite charging well above most other DC hotels. People who wished to influence the president—lobbyists, politicians, foreign and state governments—paid a premium to see and be seen at the Trump Hotel, rubbing elbows with the president and his closest advisers.

So do you or do you not care about Hunter Biden?

[nsacpi]

I'm kinda hoping Hunter is given DeJoy's job. Just to see the reaction from the trumpophilic folk around here.

[cajunrevenge]

The greatest part about that would be they could claim Hunter isnt a political appointee because the PMG is selected by the board.... who are political appointees. DeJoy took great offense to being called a political appointee despite it being so obvious.



I really do think it would be a wise strategy for Biden to try to trigger "the right" as much as possible. No matter what he does they are going to lose their **** anyways. Let them spend their time bitching about stupid **** so they have less time and energy to complain about the bad **** he does that they should focus on.

The usps would be a helluva lot more fun. That’s for sure!

DeJoy seems like a fun guy to hang around with. Which might explain this:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/busin...s-medications/

Mark Currie of Virginia had three checks snagged in postal delays in three months. In New Jersey, Lois Fitton says she was forced to pay interest on a credit card balance because the bill never arrived. Jim Rice says two insurance companies canceled policies for his property management business in Oklahoma after the payments got lost in the mail.

Impossible I’ve been told by Goldy and Zito here that the USPS is awesome at delivering

The Dems are to chicken**** for that.

[goldfly]

Wow, drain the swamp, right?

[cajunrevenge]

Werent these reports about how much the SS spent at Trump properties delayed until after the election? Now if I know "the right" they wont stand for this manipulation of the news for political benefit.

Russian state media is really bummed that their boy lost in November. Openly taunting the US for helping elect the disaster that was Trump.

The guy Trump appointed to head VOA spent over a million to a private law firm to investigate the other executives because he could not just fire them at will. Spent 1.2 million to a law firm paying them 320$ an hour for thousands of billable hours....... all taxpayer funded....

Someone bought $54 million worth of Oshkosh Corp. stock 20 hours before

postmaster Louis DeJoy announced that he was awarding the company a

$6B contract for gas-powered delivery vehicles.

Rep. Tim Ryan (D) wants an investigation.
