Look... it's a ballroom. It's definitely not a burial site for documents used to mix the concrete.

It's a very transparent corruption tool. When Trump was elected, he and his ghouls went around with the hat to get "donations" from all of the large companies. Especially the ones in big tech donated huge amounts for what turned out to be a very sad inauguration ceremony. After Trump gifted all of them huge tax benefits and removing restrictions and regulations, the time had come for the hat to go around again. But you can't just donate directly to the president, then even the dumbest of the dumb would cry foul. So like the shitty landlord Trump has always been he destroyed part of the White House and announced plans for a huge new construction project. This allowed all of the assholes to once again "donate" to this project. A project that has caused a lot of damage to a monument in order to "own the libs" and has raked in millions in donations, but has done little else. All of this money is being pocketed by Trump and his goons.

As with many terrible things, it's all out in the open and yet America does nothing. Checks and balances indeed.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 18 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It's called "Money Laundering" and the Real Estate Developer version of it is one of the few things that Trump is actually an expert at. Because at his core, he's a criminal.

STOP making Child Rape POLITICAL!

[–] Dojan@pawb.social 51 points 3 days ago (2 children)

They don't call it child rape, they call it sex with women who at the time were underage. Something like that.

Question:
How can a person who has these type of documents and accusations about them ever be allowed to run for any type of political position? Let alone become the president of a country (twice)?

[–] nao@sh.itjust.works 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Wasn't it something like:

  • 1/3 voted in favor of him
  • 1/3 voted against him
  • 1/3 couldn't be bothered
[–] D_C@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I prefer a third voted against. A third voted for. And a third enabled it to happen, either by protest or ignorance.

[–] Heikki2@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

My FIL is a Die Hard Conservative. He refused to vote for Trump... and Harris. He didn't vote for either to "send" a message. I told him a bigger message would be to vote Democratic but he "could not" bc they are forcing kids to be transgender. I told him to prove that and he could not but he saw it on Faux New or News Min and it had to be true.

I asked him if he knew Faux News was settled on a 750 million dollar defamation case for the lies spread about Dominion voting sustems. He did not and said the 2020 election was a fraud.. you can't get through to these people

[–] Xatolos@reddthat.com 31 points 2 days ago (6 children)

It's because legally, having a criminal record doesn't disqualify you from running. There isnt anything preventing this. Most likely its to help prevent a minor mishap from long ago condemning your future abilities (otherwise, you'd have all sorts of small charges against every politician to destroy their career. It would make the worst blackmail material).

Now, morally why did enough people vote for him anyway is a whole different issue that I don't have an answer for.

[–] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 16 points 2 days ago (2 children)

It's also so that someone can't weaponize law enforcement on their political opponents. So let's say you're president. You come after me on a bogus charge. I've now got a record. I can no longer run against you.

Morally, I agree entirely.

But you don't understand, the only other choice we had was a lady....

[–] MJKee9@lemmy.world 17 points 2 days ago (5 children)

Come on. That lady didn't believe exactly everything I believed. How could I vote for someone who is not only a female, but someone who didn't believe exactly what I believed!?!?

Because he told the worst people in the country that he would hurt the people they don't like.

Honestly that's it, that the whole thing. There's nothing deeper than that.

Trump told racists, bigots, evil people that he was going to hurt their enemies, so they voted for him.

She should have bit it clean off. Missed opportunity there.

[–] dhork@lemmy.world 158 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Maybe she did, and that's why Stormy thinks it looks like a toadstool

[–] lennybird@lemmy.world 54 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (3 children)

In fairness to her, his mushroom dick (according to Stormy Daniels the porn star to whom he paid hush money) is a very tiny target.

Like trying to grab at a splinter with your fingernails.

Literal victims being victimized doing more to punish Epstein associates than the US Govt.

I was relieved to see she was interviewed as an adult in 2019. Brave as a girl, brave as a woman.

EPSTEIN talked about blackmailing people in front of [redacted]. [redacted] was confident TRUMP knew EPSTEIN blackmailed people because she heard EPSTEIN and TRUMP talking about it. [redacted] stated she knew TRUMP had illegal building permits. She heard him (TRUMP) talking about washing money through casinos.

I wonder if this is true, about Trump washing money.

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 30 points 2 days ago (2 children)

It's the only explanation I can figure for how he bankrupted a casino

Some time after the Orange Jackass is in the ground because nobody in power has the fucking balls to so much as slow him down.

Yeah, I don't... I don't really want to read that.

I'll just take this one as a given if that's ok.

This woman sounds like she has extremely good judgement. Maybe she should be president.

As much as I'm sure that child (now woman) never wants to be known publicly, I nevertheless want to give her the keys to whatever city she chooses. And free therapy for life.

[–] EmpathicVagrant@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It’s wild to me that the allegations are about what happened after the bite, when in order for it to happen there must have been coercion and sexual/assault leading to it.

While I fully support justified defensive violence against dick biters, I'd appreciate even more Trump using this defense in a trial over the incident.
