“ Onehell: I just did. I don't need to type a 2000 word rant and show false rage to express myself.

No you lied and accused Biden of something that is not true. So again. When the bill comes in for this administration make sure you post about it.

If people vote by how their 401's are doing, Trump wins. Mine and everyone I know that has 401's they've went through the roof since 2016. Lost since Covid but the gains are back plus more.

“400 business trips paid for with tax $$ maybe?”

Secret Service protection while on 400 business trips. There I corrected your statement to be accurate.

It is SOP for the Secret Service to provide families of the President and Vice President protection.

Wait till we see the numbers the current Administration will add up. I imagine, it’s going to make heads spin when it does come out. Which eventually it will. Please make sure you post your outrage about it.

It doesn’t matter, as ugly as it is, it’s gone on for years, they didn’t invent it, personally I think it should be illegal.

Trump took the whole "bring your son and daughter to work day" to entirely new levels.

Ivanka and Jared were denied security clearances til daddy forced them through.

She shows up for meetings and group photos with world leaders.

Ivanka has dozens of copyrights approved in China on same day that he makes agreement with China?

What exactly do the Trump kids and son-in-law do?

"why are you so convinced Biden will commit such gross nepotism? He has no history of it"

Surely you can't be serious? Burisma, Ukraine, "If the prosecutor is not fired, you're not getting the money" ring a bell? 400 business trips paid for with tax $$ maybe?

But you wanted to lead that into Trump's nepotism, which I agree is fucking ridiculous. So I'll save you the dozen paragraphs.

This is what happens when you get beyond the 'hillbilly' education.

Companies have been parking money offshore to avoid paying corporate income tax. It is a relatively simple scheme.

Let's use something you may know: John Deere. John Deere could create a company, say in Ireland. John Deere could transfer the trademarks and patents to this other company. Let's call that company Two Inc. Now Deere makes some products. It costs them $100 and they sell them to the dealer for $150. They made $50 right? WRONG. What they do is license the trademarks/patents from Two Inc to John Deere for $45. Now the cost is $145 and they sold it for $150. Two Inc took in $45 in revenue. John Deere made $5. John Deere pays taxes on $5. Two Inc sits on a ton of cash with very low taxes due because it was earned in Ireland. Where does that $45 cash sit? In the UK. That money needs to be repatriated back to the US. For Deere to do it, they need to pay taxes on it. Bush, Jr gave a tax holiday to do it.

Trump lost the popular vote by 3 million +.

There was a pile of people across the country that really didn't like Hillary, and probably thought "How bad can Trump do, anyway?"

Now we have seen how bad Trump can be.

I do not see Trump winning a fair election.

I also don't think Trump will leave the White House voluntarily...

I know McAuliffe supposedly said it during WWII. I Other than that, not a clue, so please enlighten me. Who said it, why, et cetera...

And oh, if you don't mind, what the hell it has to do with this magical imaginary torrent of nepotism Biden is dying to unleash. Having no history of it. And why potential, future nepotism from someone who has a pretty clean record in that regard matters, and actual, current, flagrant nepotism does not.

Or are you going to tell me Ivanka and Jared have any business being in the White House, let alone be advisors to anyone? They are both dumb as toast, with bought degrees, a track record of raging incompetence... I wouldn't let them advise my dog on which end to crap from.

And behold: the modern American conservative.

So no, you do not know which magical person is "in charge of the International Banking System" at the moment.

Two questions:

One, why are you so convinced Biden will commit such gross nepotism? He has no history of it.

Two, why are you choosing January 2021 to start giving a crap about nepotism, and not before?

Thornton, CO, Us

Biden will make a new position for Hunter it's called "Chief of plundering the treasury".

Sacramento, CA, Us

"Biden will put his son Hunter in charge of the International banking system. "

Let's put aside for a moment whether that is true or not.

Can you tell me who Biden would be deposing to do that? In other words, can you tell me which one person is 'in charge of the International banking system' right now? Seriously, I double-dog dare you. Go on.

****************

Rep. Eliot Engel became engulfed in yet another controversy on Tuesday after he was overheard on a “hot mic” saying he only sought press attention at a local event on the unrest over police brutality because of his upcoming primary threat.

“If I didn't have a primary, I wouldn’t care,” the New York Democrat told Ruben Diaz Jr., the Bronx borough president, as he asked for time to speak at a news conference on local vandalism.

The comments — which Engel didn’t know were being recorded by a local television station — quickly went viral. The 12-second clip was viewed more than 700,000 times by Tuesday afternoon. In a statement issued later, Engel clarified that he asked to speak because he wanted to convey that “I care deeply about what's happening in this country.”

“In the context of running for reelection, I thought it was important for people to know where I stand, that's why I asked to speak,” Engel said in his statement. “I would not have tried to impose on the Borough President if I didn't think it was important.”

Engel's remarks come just weeks before New York’s primary elections on June 23, when the House Foreign Affairs Committee chairman will face his most serious threat from within his own party since 2000. His challenger is Jamaal Bowman, a public school principal who has gained significant momentum in his bid to unseat Engel this month.

And Trump's mouth is larger and says the same things.

So are we going to see the same results?
