If you aren't paying for the product, you are the product.Originally posted by Moliere View PostI don’t quite follow the issue with the 747 being given by Qatar. Is it because it’s a gift or is the issue because Qatar is a state that basically allows modern day slavery? Hasn’t the US wanted new planes for Air Force One for a long time?
Im sure there’s good reason to be against the gift but I’m admitting to my ignorance here.

Other than the Constitution strictly forbidding gifts to the US government by foreign royalty and Trump's lawyers' way around this is to say it's actually a gift to Trump personally? There are practical security reasons why this is a stupid idea that LVA laid out but from an ethical and yes very strictly legal perspective this stinks. Rank and file federal employees can't accept a cup of coffee from their contractors without looking over their shoulder but the President can accept a $400 million jet from a terror-supporting foreign power? I say again GTFO.Originally posted by Moliere View PostI don’t quite follow the issue with the 747 being given by Qatar.

Yes, it’ll effectively lower the cost of borrowing for a car, which will increase demand and therefore increase prices. It’s kind of like what the government did to college tuitionOriginally posted by Bo Diddley View PostI'm no financial genius, but won't all these tax breaks drive up inflation? Seems like tax deductions for car loans would drive up costs for cars as well.

We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

Moli, the democrats are not more corrupt than MAGA nor are they more skilled at being corrupt than team Trump.Originally posted by Moliere View Post

It's just Republicans don't give a shit about what he does.
Now the TikTok people are openingly bribing Trump by buying his shitty cryptocurrency.

The public facing justification is "the dems were corrupt too," but I suspect most know this is beyond the pale but are too afraid of their constituency and losing their positions of power they say nothing. They are gigantic cowards.Originally posted by BlueK View PostThe bribes and corruption with this administration are right out in the open bur Republicans think it's ok. Or at the very least would never do anything about it.

I didn’t say democrats were more corrupt. They are clearly corrupt but the order of magnitude compared to the GOP I leave that to you to determine.Originally posted by frank ryan View Post

You don't see a difference in magnitude? Bob Menendez was found with less than $600,000 in bribes from Egypt. Trump is openly talking about accepting a $400M bribe and his base is all for it. WTF.Originally posted by Moliere View Post
