He's a (Very Good) Friend Of Epstein (Oh, Yes He Is) - Trump Thread #149

[Spandauer]

Taking paracetamol doesn’t give you autistic babies but voting for Trump definitely gives you a festering carcass of American rot shoved into an ill-fitting suit: the sleaze of a conman, the cowardice of a draft dodger, the gluttony of a parasite, the racism of a Klansman, the sexism of a back-alley creep, the ignorance of a bar-stool drunk, and the greed of a hedge-fund ghoul— all spray-painted orange and paraded like a prize hog at a county fair.

Yeah, if any of my adult DC engaged in 'banter' like that and I found out about it, they wouldn't be allowed in my house until major repentance had been implemented...

Looking at the photos attached to that report, they're not exactly High School Musical "Central Casting" - what defines "young" in this instance?

Does JDV not realise these upstanding young Republicans probably consider his wife and daughters fair game? Not being from Über Aryan stock and all...

He does realise, that what's particularly disgusting. He reckons his feet under the table will guarantee he and his family's future. Such naivety, if that's what it is, is hard to credit. I hope they don't find out the hard way like so many Trump fans are doing.

You are a far nicer person than I am. I hope very much that they do!

Oh for heaven's sake. Can I claim it's the shock which fried my spelling...

some sum

Yes, one would be alarmed and preparing for a serious chat if one found 14-year-olds behaving like that.

These people are a long way from 14-year-olds.

People finding it very entertaining that the Government is now being trolled by the Episcopalians 😂

🐸 😄

The media have made a stand.

His FiFA mate has said Trump can move game's if he feels cities aren't safe.
In other words Trump's political opponents.
Like most things to do with Orangina it stinks to high heaven.

Who would have guessed that one corrupt organisation would support another one.

I need to try and understand this Argentinian bailout.

I might have this all wrong but as I have gathered... Trump Administration have given $40 billion to Argentina to bail them out but on the condition the Argentinian people re-elect a Trump like President that Trump admires, even though he bankrupted Argentina. Somewhere along the line soya beans are involved. China have stopped buying soya beans from US because of Trump's tariffs. They now buy from Argentina instead and so Trump is going to have to give aid to US soya bean farmers to compensate.

Have I got that right? It all sounds madness

FT Investigation: The heart of Trump’s wealth is a rapidly growing cryptocurrency empire, which has already reaped more than $1bn in pre-tax profits, in part thanks to a crypto boom fuelled by the US administration’s own industry-friendly policies https://on.ft.com/47bCXtE

FFS, my post is hidden because it mentioned a word starting with c and ending in rypto

According to a Financial Times investigation, the Trump business has already reaped more than $1bn in pre-tax profits over the past year, in part thanks to a cr*pto boom fuelled by the administration’s own industry-friendly policies

That is how I understand it as well

I don't know about the President of Argentina bankrupting his country, but at this rate, Trump is bankrupting the US. Whilst enriching him and his family massively. I read that Barron has made $100m on crypto after insider trading.

Above ⬆️ is just the word rypto with a C in front!

MN really need to take that off their banned list....

Isn’t the aid to the US farmers coming from the ‘tariff shelf’ too? Which despite the lies of the WH and Fox News is not coming from other countries but US consumers. who presumably are now also paying for the Argentina bail out.

Unfortunately I think they are concerned about dodgy "rypto" ads/scams spamming the boards.

If they lifted the ban you would get threads along the lines of "So worries about the mess RR is making of the economy" or "thinking of investing in rypto"
Followed by posts...
"Yes, dear poster fortuitously I was able to make some most excellent investments so at least my money is safe in these troubling times"
"Please tell me how. It is so hard to know how to invest wisely"
"I had the help ofMs Rachel notasxammer. She is truly helpful in the currency. I can provide her details"
The word filter is annoying. But letting the scammers have free reign will be more annoying

Yes... so the Tariffs which impact US taxpayers with increased prices, are being used to bail out another country. America First my arse.
