Here's a statement of the obvious: The opinions expressed here are those of the participants, not those of the Mutual Fund Observer. We cannot vouch for the accuracy or appropriateness of any of it, though we do encourage civility and good humor.
”The president-elect tapped son-in-law Jared Kushner's father, real estate developer Charles Kushner, to the diplomatic post on Saturday touting his business accomplishments and public service but studiously avoiding mention of his criminal conviction for a scheme to hire a sex worker to seduce his own brother-in-law and send a recording of the encounter to his sister”
The swamp is filling up nicely. I thought MAGA was against classic political cronyism?
Possibly our high IQ low EQ friend chang can opine. I know that he is hoping that when Charles is in France, he will visit him hiding in the Pyrenees mountains of Andorra.
Kushner gets a pass, Trump gets a legal pass and let's not even start on Gaetz. Bannon will be out of jail soon, he's another class act. Roger Stone had his sentence commuted - imagine that. Interesting "trend".
These aren't gladiators or rebels- they are simply CONVICTS. And Project 2025 will now be launched by these con men.
They distract the public by pointing the finger at immigrants crossing the border, but the really dangerous hombres are now in office.
Makes you want to run off and hide in a small mountain town in Europe, just to get away from the stench.
But why do we need laws? Doesn’t “individual freedom” mean not having to kowtow to rules from outside authority? If I don’t want to pay taxes on a profitable investment or store my firearms in a childproof safe … Or if I decide to screw somebody out of a buck thru false advertising … So what? It’s my fk’n life. Every dog for himself. That’s freedom. Absence of laws & law enforcement equals absolute freedom.
Speaking of pardons… After a lifetime of lying, Biden lied again.
TDS meltdown in 3, 2, 1…
Hey chang, back home from Thailand and Japan hiding in the Pyrenees mountains of Andorra? I was reading that the US does not have an extradition treaty with Andorra for tax evasion. Is this correct?
Speaking of pardons, how can you blame a father when Trump threatens revenge against who he deems his political enemies?
"But America has now twice elected him as its President. It is a disastrous revelation about what the United States really is, as opposed to the country that so many hoped that it could be. His victory was a worst-case scenario—that a convicted felon, a chronic liar who mismanaged a deadly once-in-a-century pandemic, who tried to overturn the last election and unleashed a violent mob on the nation’s Capitol, who calls America “a garbage can for the world,” and who threatens retribution against his political enemies could win—and yet, in the early morning hours of Wednesday, it happened."
Well put! “...Then, a carefully negotiated plea deal, agreed to by the Department of Justice, unraveled in the court room — with a number of my political opponents in Congress taking credit for bringing political pressure on the process.” ----Joe re: Hunter, from The Hill.
I know a guy who repeatedly spouts nonsense about how Joe came into huge money on his name, riding with Hunter. That Biden is the most corrupt Prez, ever. Well, Hunter ought to have faced consequences, yes.
As for the Orange Criminal tong leader: the swamp is just getting swampier. More fetid, gross, disgusting. This nation has sunk into the toilet. Will there be anything left of the stature of the USA? Biden has seriously wounded it (Gaza) but the Orange Felon will sink us, no doubt.
For some reason all the comments in various threads about the deterioration of morality, legal standards, and justice make me wonder what would become of me if I shot and killed someone in the middle of State Street in Ann Arbor. A large part of my brain says I’d spend the rest of my days in prison, however there’s a sliver (possibly growing larger) of my mind that whispers, « You could get away with it, » just like those denizens and wanna-be denizens of the Swamp. Moral corruption certainly begins at home. QED.

You need to earn it, first.
Until you prove yourself....as a tax cheat, a draft dodger, a king maker (of compromised Judges) and Putin bromancer ..well, then you can only graze somebody.
If you then add a "fixer" (i.e. a Michael Cohen) to the fold, you just might get limited immunity. But you must go through many financial bankruptcies, at least 5, as part of this journey.
Then if you get caught on tape saying that you walk up to women in the dressing room and grab them by the *****, but still win an election? Or call a state rep at the Ballot HQ and say you need him to find you 10K more votes...just 10K more?
Then you have total immunity, despite being morally depraved and completely narcissistic....and most likely a sociopath.
I am immensely flattered that you read my every word and now repeat them as your own.
But, you know, wasn’t it Nero who said something like “let it be wonderful, or let it be awful, so long as it is original!”
Seriously, my first comment here on the election was meant to offer aid and comfort to the grieving, by explaining where the Democrats went wrong. I said, and say it again, that the election was theirs to lose.
But, equally seriously, the TDS here is spiraling out of control. You know, “Heil Führer” and that sort of thing. I seriously recommend you consider the physiological and psychological consequences. Do you really plan to spend the next 4 (12, 20…) years here complaining six times a day about how your head is about to explode? It could, you know.
Can I make one final recommendation? Listen to what some lefties like Bill Maher or John Fetterman have to say about Harris, Trump, the election, and how to move on without destroying yourselves.
Now, sincerely hoping there won’t be a TDS meltdown in 3, 2, 1…

Well, yes, they surely are. This new improved political cronyism is a much better product.

Maybe those nights partying with Jeffrey Epstein came at the expense of some brain cells.
