    heron replied to Tweety's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Totally OT: one of my favorite things to do on AN has been to Spot the Bot. One of the things I pay attention to is the overuse of verbal bullying. Of course, if words on a paper (articles of...

    You're being disingenuous - stop it. It was pretty common knowledge that foreign nationals and lobbyists doing business with Trump's administration were flooding into his hotel in DC. It's...

    Renting or buying real estate at inflated prices are time-honored methods of laundering bribes. Just ask Clarence Thomas. As for Secret Service lodging: classic kickback scam. ETA: this...

    Tangentially, trump media shares are selling today for just over $18/share. trump media reported total revenue just over $750K with a loss of $58 million in 2023. Those stratospheric...

    I disagree with your description of trump as a wealth creator. Trump created wealth the same way Enron and Madoff did: by cooking his books and lying like a rug. There's a reason his company was...

    I disagree. He's well trained. By a kkk/nazi sympathizer and a closeted gangster, among others. He's also too clever by half and has learned to use golden escalators. But he can't think his way out of...

    Heard an interesting take on this so-called controversy over KH's lack of press conferences. The commentator remarked that it was all a temper tantrum by "the media" because she was talking to the...

    No, it isn't. Both are examples of government being used to limit speech. Why is it bad when the CDC uses jawboning to fight a lethal pandemic but OK when religious extremists use school boards and...
