This is probably just one of those “fake news” things, right? Even the Hypocrite-Elect Trump wouldn’t be this blatant about “pay for play,” would he? Wait… yes, he would.
And Newt Gingrich says that corruption laws shouldn’t apply to the Trump administration because all of his cabinet picks are too rich. And if Congress doesn’t change the laws, Trump should just pardon all of them who run afoul of the laws.
Trump owes millions to Russians overseas and the Russian mob is there to enforce collection, if they are not the lenders directly. New York City construction? I’m sure he had interactions on some level. Maybe Trump is afraid of his creditors when it’s the Russian mob and they tell him they’ll be putting bullets in his children’s heads if he doesn’t make good.
How does he make good? By getting elected and by being Putin’s bitch and getting the Syrian economic sanctions removed so ExxonMobile and Russia can make billions together.
And, as a bonus, appointing anti-global warming deniers to key positions will just open the Arctic to drilling as fast as possible!
See!
That’s how easy it is to come up with some wackadoole conspiracy theory to explain what the people you disagree with are doing!
Connect the dot. Sheeple! (Parody of Trump supporters was intended; purchase of cape does not allow user to fly).

The banks that lend money to Trump’s real estate deals do not lend money on faith. Real estate loans are usually secured and based on a pretty solid business plan. I doubt Trump has trouble raising money for a good project and like it or not, Trump’s name on a project adds value. His name represents the lion’s share of his wealth."
Yes I knew there was something really off here. Thanks Moocher.
The idea that trump is not vulnerable to threats of violence (or financial threats for that matter) is part of the same strong man meme we’ve seen, that’s not going to end well. It’s really nervy to come on like someone who voted against him and then spout this childish nonsense.
His brand is worth more than you or I will ever be. Just because he is not qualified to be president doesn’t mean he isn’t rich or that his brand doesn’t mean anything.
He hasn’t disclosed his financials to me but any reasonable estimate of his wealth is close to or over a billion dollars.
What am I ignoring? Or are you another one of those posters who think that if I’m not with you, I’m against you?
In what way am I a Donald apologist. IIRC You are responding to the notion that Donald Trump the POTUS-elect is going to do the bidding of Russia because he might owe money to some Russian banks. Do you seriously think that notion deserves serious consideration or do you think that it is inappropriate for me to point out the dangers of crying wolf and being fucking wrong, again.
What are you going to say in 2 or 3 years when it turns out that Trump ISN’T actually a Manchurian candidate in thrall to Putin? The Liberal hyperventilation just makes it easier to dismiss any actual concerns we might have about Trump.
That’s because I have more loyalty to my country and the truth than partisan politics. Do I think Trump will be a good President? Nope. Do I think that he is going to hand our country over to Russia because some Russian banks lent him some money (do we know this for a fact?). Nope. And I think that anyone that pushes this line of thinking is an idiot who will do more harm to the efforts to defeat Trump in 2020 than Al Sharpton and Tawana Brawley did to racial justice issues. If we hurl baseless allegation after baseless allegation at him for the next four years, then we simply lose credibility. Sure it fires up the left wing idiots but we don’t have as many idiots as the other side and we will lose if it becomes a battle of the idiots.
I know for a fact that some of his projects are financed by Chinese banks. Is he going to be in thrall to China as well because his rhetoric about trade deals and his conversation with Taiwan makes me think he is not THEIR puppet. Why would he be Russia’s puppet?
So do you have any actual cites or just vague memories of Trump being unable to borrow domestically? Because I’m pretty sure that a significant portion of the financing for his development projects are from domestic sources.
Baby Bush started the fucking war in Iraq that we are still fighting 15 fucking years later. A war that escalated the middle east conflict to global dimensions. Its hard to imagine Donald Trump fucking up as badly without Dick Cheney and the neo-cons telling him what to do. AFAICT, there aren’t any PNAC folks in his cabinet.
Are you fucking seriously entertaining the notion that POTUS can be blackmailed with threats of force against his family? By the Russian mob??? Are you fucking kidding me? How do you expect anyone to take you seriously when you post retarded shit like this?
If the Russian mob could do this to Trump as Potus, wtf was keeping them from blackmailing Obama or the Clintons?
Stop being retarded, it undermines all liberals everywhere.

Same shit I would say if it turns out that Obama was actually a secret muslim born in Kenya.
:rolleyes:
Or perhaps its getting hard to distinguish from the retarded satire being peddled by liberals who are eager to die on every fucking hill from their actual opinions. Drad seems to have taken you at your word. That’s why I responded to him and not to you. drad is retarded but you seem really eager to join him.
I disagree with the folks who think this guy should get fired. He was told that there was a strict no gun policy by the corporate office. People say that he should have used common sense but if he is a hoplophobe with no exposure to guns then he has no frame of reference to say what makes sense and what doesn’t in the context of guns. Reason and rationality is not something you can just naturally expect from a hoplophobe and to take away his livelihood because of his condition could be a violation of the ADA. Take him to the range and show him that guns are not like vials of anthrax made of nitroglycerin.
No, no, some shift manager misunderstood corporate policy at a big company. This may not be directly related to the Trump admin, but it deserves to be noticed! We need to be aware that police and hoplophiles are constantly persecuted, and every time some random schmo doesn’t genuflect to the Warriors, that has to be posted everywhere! I mean. you might think this was some guy, probably a young person, who just didn’t understand corporate policy. But, this is an affront to the second amendment. See! The Gun People are being repressed!!
