Trump intends to accept $400 bribe from Qatar Government

[Mr. Wednesday]

You sho do gets upset when ya caint answer de questions suh.

First: I'm not upset.
Second: I can answer the question.
Third: I'm under no obligation to do a lazy, ignorant, intellectually dishonest motherfucker's petty bidding.

 

[Mr. Wednesday]

It can't compare...that's not even close to what Trump has grifted.

It can, and it is. But you don't give a fuck about grift. You only care about who you can accuse of grift.

No, it's all bad.

But nothing like the billions in crypto and Qatari bribe Trump has solicited.

I wonder if he's also invested in businesses that will profit from the rare earth minerals he's extorted from Ukraine.

I would bet a nice chunk on that wager.

No doubt in my mind.

If it's all bad, then there is no 'but'. You object to the practice, or you don't.

That but was a simple acknowledgement of the massive scope of Trump's corruption. Keep ignoring that, it makes you the partisan hack that we've all come to dislike and disrespect.

And I've yet to see you condemn that same corruption from anyone else.

Which tells us all very clearly that it isn't the corruption you have a problem with.

 

[Mr. Wednesday]

Of course, as I said previously, Trump should reject the jet, if for no other reason than on security grounds.

I already said it was wrong. But there's no comparison. It's not even close.

No one has been as corrupt as Trump. He makes Nixon look like a bad night at the Watergate Hotel.

And what happens if he does the sensible thing and rejects the 'gift'? Will that even make any difference?

I suspect not. Because it isn't about what he does, or doesn't, do.

He's guilty of being Donald Trump.

That's why it's so fucking hard to take your outrage about him seriously.

 

[Admin.]

Here’s a thought, let’s sell the plane and use the money to buy dolls for little girls!

 

[Admin.]

In trumplandia buying a dude lunch is exactly the same moral equivalency as giving them a half billion dollar muscle car.

Yes, if he rejects the gift that will be a good step. Even if it's only a political decision.

Even Cancun Cruz has concerns

BREAKING: Republican Senator Ted Cruz breaks ranks from MAGA and slams the luxury jet bribe from Qatar to Trump — says that it will pose "significant espionage and surveillance problems" if it becomes Air Force One.

This scandal is going nuclear...

"I’m not a fan of Qatar. I think they have a really disturbing pattern of funding theocratic lunatics who want to murder us, funding Hamas and Hezbollah. And that’s a real problem," Cruz said in an interview with CNBC.

"I also think the plane poses significant espionage and surveillance problems. We’ll see how this issue plays out but I certainly have concerns," Cruz went on.

Trump intends on upgrading the $400 million jet to serve as Air Force One and then eventually take it with him when he leaves office so that it can be used for his presidential library. It its corruption in its most blatant form and we have no idea what Qatar is expecting in return.

Suffice to say, the Qataris are not giving away this incredibly expensive jet out of the goodness of their hearts. They want to suborn Trump into tilting White House policy in their favor. It's also entirely possible that the jet is bugged.

Cruz isn't the only member of Congress concerned about the security risk posed by this debacle.

Democratic Senator Jack Read, the ranking member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, said that the plane would "pose immense counterintelligence risks by granting a foreign nation potential access to sensitive systems and communications."

"It is completely negligent and, as far as I’m concerned, reckless to think that Air Force One where the president is asked to function as our commander in chief in a situation room, making life-or-death decisions, is on a plane given to us by a foreign government with 200 miles of wiring in it," said Democratic Senator Dick Durbin.

He added that he is "certainly" concerned about the risk of espionage.

"Two hundred miles of wiring in this plane? We’re going to go through every square inch of that to make certain the Qataris or some other government doesn’t have access to the most important decisions made by our president? This is irresponsible," Durbin added.

The senator also wants MAGA Attorney General Pam Bondi to testify before Congress about the approval process for the jet. An AG interested in upholding the law rather than sycophantically serving her boss would have intervened already. It's of course not a coincidence that Bondi has deep connections to Qatar.

"Remember, she was a paid agent of the Qatari government, a lobbyist, before she became attorney general," said Durbin.

I bet you want to run away from the blatant corruption when all you do is rail against anyone not a MAGAt.

We could buy only four though, at a 100 million a piece.

If he refuses the "gift" it will be the first Presidential thing he's done.

 

[Mr. Wednesday]

If he refuses the "gift" it will be the first Presidential thing he's done.

...with the exception of all the other Presidential things he's done.

Being Presidential doesn't mean falling to one's knees and sucking the anti-American Left's collective cock.

Working to slash Pharma's price gouging. For 'just one'.

[Mr. Wednesday]

Fuck, took me less than a second, but that never even occurred to you, you partisan shit.

 

[Mr. Wednesday]

Name one other Presidential thing he's done.

Other?

Defending the sovereignty of the United States, in a marked departure from his predecessor. Yeah, that's something Presidents are supposed to do.

 

[Jack]

Working to slash Pharma's price gouging. For 'just one'.

are you serious? You believe that bullshit?

so far it's all talk. lies aren't Presidential.

if somehow this does happen, can we expect a soft core porn centerfold with the FLOTUS?

You shouldn’t have price gouging, you should have the universal right of free healthcare at the point of service as the most ahum democratic country on the planet.

Next?
