It's funny how Jared's $2 billion bribe from the Saudis,

[edhopper]

Hasn't gotten half the attention as Hunter's laptop by the MSM.
And given that Jared was the official Middle East Envoy, and Hunter a private citizen, it's that much more glaringly shameful.

[Hugin]

1. Must have a horse race...

At a minimum.

It’s where they think their sugar comes from, when the truth of that is debatable. There’s plenty of non-manufactured news out there these days.

This is the central reason the system has become as broken as it is.

[underpants]

5. Nailed it.

[calimary]

37. That's why they do election coverage like they do.

Simply MUST have a fucking “horse race”. It’s money in the bank.

[uponit7771]

54. +1, there's no doubt something amis

[Turbineguy]

2. If Putin fails to put Trump back in

they bought nothing.

[edhopper]

40. They are paying him back

for the things Trump already did for them.

[Achilleaze]

3. It's OK. He's a Republican.

Republicans are special. Morals, ethics, and legality are for Little People, not for special Republicans.

[spanone]

4. media wants tfg back.

[Ilsa]

18. Yeah, they make alot more money off the trump trainwreck.

Gawkers gonna gawk.
If it bleeds, it leads.

It's scary that a job as important as the presidency has been turned into a shitshow by people who don't know what decency is. And that immediate gratification is part of the disease.

I wish some degree of etiquette and values was taught in schools since so many parents are too tired to parent, or don't know it themselves.

[llmart]

31. +1000...

for your last sentence alone.

[OldBaldy1701E]

45. Desperately! (n/t)

[GoCubsGo]

6. The same goes for his father-in-law's classified document theft.

And, not just any classified documents, but ones so classified, they can't even hint at what's in them. It's funny how only a comedian (Jeff Tiedrich) has put two and two together here...

[brush]

10. Wonder if trump copied and sold the classified...

docs?

Oh, wait, it's trump. Of course he did, or at least intended to until it was discovered they were missing. That's another undeniable crime. Where's Garland on yet another trump crime?

[edhopper]

13. That is

a very good question.

[aggiesal]

15. They had plenty of time to make copies ...

Trump turned the boxes over to the Archives earlier this year after months of negotiations involving lawyers for both camps.

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2022/04/07/white-house-records-sent-trumps-club-could-soon-under-doj-probe/9497025002/

What was there to negotiate?
Should we send back the originals or the copies?
We'll send them back, as long as Pendejo45 isn't charged with any crime?

[brush]

16. Yep. What's to negotiate? It's government property...

not the orange turd's.

[KS Toronado]

30. "after months of negotiations"

Should have been front page news for MSM, but instead we get Hunter Biden's laptop.
What's the serial # of that laptop? Has anyone checked with Apple to see who bought it
new and how in the hell Hunter got hold of it?

[Jetheels]

22. Used to be stealing was a crime.

Now it’s only a crime if you sold the stolen loot.
For tfg that is.
If anyone else stole trucks full of whatever it would be a crime.
For precious tfg who everyone handles with kid gloves, nothing is a crime.
The biggest crime less crime wave in history.

[HighFired49]

36. This country is truly broken

In an unbroken America with an equal and fair legal system, the Feds. would have gone to his crappy Mar-A-Shithole with a warrant, taken the documents, arrested all involved, taken their passports, and held them in jail until their trials; just like they would have done to me if I had broken a national security law. Now, the whole system is beholden to the uber-riche (or their pretenders), and they just get to walk away until...whenever...usually until they can come up with some half-baked reason or excuse as to why they should never be bothered with the issue again. I so wish that I had left this country when I was young. Now, too old and stuck here with family issues. At least, maybe I'll be able to escape to a blue state before I die.

[samsingh]

7. its disgusting

[blueinredohio]

8. Money talks......

[Bernardo de La Paz]

9. Three questions for MAGAts raising laptop issue. (four in total)

1) Would it be worse if it were 2 billion dollars instead of 2 million?

"Yes".

2) Would it be worse if it weren't a private citizen, but instead a government official?

"Yup".

3) Would it be worse if the older family member was president and not Vice President?

"For sure!".

then drop them with

4) So Jared Kushner's and tRump's deal was much much worse, right?

"What are you talking about?"

[brush]

11. Good. Very good.

[bluecollar2]

26. +100...n/t

[erronis]

32. You got their response down pat! "What are you talking about?"

Clueless MSM-uckers have been looking into their mirrors so long they don't see reality.

[Chainfire]

38. The problem with your questions is that, if you are a MAGAT, you are not concerned about

any issue that you find the least bit uncomfortable. Logic has no place in an emotion based philosophy. It is a happy life of wearing blinders. The bottom line, all you need to know and all that matters is, "Trump good, Biden bad." K.I.S.S.

[karynnj]

41. Problem is they do NOT believe that Kushner was bought

They STILL believe the story that Kushner led in more achievement on "Middle east peace" than occurred for decades. After all, he opened better relationships between Israel and multiple Arab countries (although NONE were at war with Israel) and he made the core problem (Israel/Palestine) far harder to resolve ... if not impossible.

People on the right will claim that THAT was why he condoned the murder of a journalist and gave more weapons to SA and UAE - not his own financial good.

(PS Obviously even if everything had been done for "good" reason, it is STILL NOT OK to financially benefit.)

[Farmer-Rick]

12. The media is owned and gets most advertising revenue from

People like the Koch Bros (who fund those insane Federalist Society idiots currently on the Supreme Court...oh no more floride) the Waltons (who run over people while drunk with no repurcussions and hate women especially the ones who control their own bodies) Bezos (who would turn his workers into slaves if he could get away with it) Musk (who never met a union he didn't hate and loves TFG) Gates (who met weekly with TFG and got himself a $10 million government contract for it)

And those are just off the top. I haven't gotten to Murdoch, the Gogel millionaires, Putin and the Saudis.

Why do the filthy rich hate the middle class so much? Because the rich want to rule the world and with a thriving middle class in a country it will never happen.

Anyway......these are the scum who own a pay for advertising on the corporate controlled media. So you get propaganda and stupidity but not much of anything else.

If Biden had cancelled all our pandemic response preparations right before a pandemic hit, that would be thrown in his face all the time by the media. But TFG gets to slap his anus shaped lips together constantly with no one ever asking him why.

[erronis]

33. Great post. The rich don't hate the middle/lower classes - they just don't want to be touched.

The 0.1% "untouchables". Behind gates and guards, on yachts and in exclusive clubs. Wealth untaxed.

The lower classes can sort it out for themselves. It'll be very messy.

[raging moderate]

44. Plus there is the Mercer family.

You are right about all these people.

[OldBaldy1701E]

46. Well, remember that the 'middle class' is presented as having that slim chance of becoming

'Filthy rich'. We can't have the poors thinking they can enter the gate of the country club now can we? Plus, those in a strong middle class are not as easily swayed by the whinging of the 'elite' and are not going to allow them to just ignore the damage they do. The peons are too oppressed to do anything about it. So, they want things to go back to 'one lord, one moat' and they will stop at nothing, including our society, to get and keep things that way.

[True Blue American]

58. Thank you for that post.

We are not dead yet. We control all 3 branches of Government, no matter what the media says.

Right now it is the Russian war, except when they chime in with another made up poll where they seek the answers they want.

Everyone I know has tuned the corrupt media out. Young people do not even watch cable. They have too many sources.

[Wednesdays]

60. To be accurate, we do NOT control all 3 branches of government

If you mean "we" as in Democrats. If that's what you meant, you're living in a different universe, because the SCOTUS is stacked 6-3 against us.

[True Blue American]

61. I was referring to the House, Senate and Presidency.

You are quite right on the Supreme Court, thanks to the totally corrupt McConnell and Trump.

[Farmer-Rick]

62. That is good to hear

There are real news organizations out there but you have to hunt them down. They are not on cable.

I stopped getting cable too because I never watched it.

[aggiesal]

14. I know Stephanie Ruhle has talked about it on the 11th Hour extensively ...

I think MSNBC, as a whole as mentioned it quite a bit.
It should be on more local broadcasts.

I'm sure Faux Noise hasn't mentioned s peep.

[LogicFirst]

17. Warnock made over $13 million in the 1st quarter. But MSM chooses to boast about Walker.

Typical of MSM giving the attention to the republicans.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

42. "made" is Wrong word. "raised". Please don't insinuate Warnock is a grifter, please edit error. . nt

[Aviation Pro]

19. Since Squeaky is now more wealthy

Than his broke-assed FIL, he gets a pass.

Why do you think he and Princess Sparkle Pony threw dear ole Dad under the bus?

[grantcart]

20. For accuracy he doesn't get the $ 2 billion but a percent for managing it

Around $ 2 million a month


The Saudis have a long history of legal bribery after the fact.

After senior administration officials leave an outgoing administration the Saudis use various legal avenues (mammoth speaking or book fees, like Reagan) in their retirement. All legal and declared.

It was no accident that Trump rushed to Saudi Arabia for his first foreign trip.

It appears that the Saudis don't want to give Jared a one time hit but keep him on a leash. They can cancel the arrangement anytime.

[CrispyQ]

21. The media wants another Trump presidency.

Ratings. Think of the ratings. Two years of nasty campaigning & then four years of outrage.

[housecat]

25. follow the money (and politics) of corporate media

[Jetheels]

23. But Saudis Y'know, hijackers, 9/11

Kina off limits.
The dollar is backed by oil.
So they can do whatever.

[paleotn]

24. MSM types desperately wanting reich wingers to like them....

and stop calling them liberal. Like that's ever going to happen no matter what MSM types say or print.

[llashram]

27. not surprising in RW MSM in Amerika.

free press? In Amerika? Not even close. Not with an Andrea Mitchell or a Chuck Todd spreading RW talking points on the QT and openly without shame as an alleged journalist.

[Pepsidog]

28. The only Jared the msm will report about is the Jared from Subway commercials.

[Wounded Bear]

29. Yeah, funny how that works out...

[LudwigPastorius]

43. Jared Kushner?

Trump barely knows him.

He was just a volunteer coffee boy.

[True Blue American]

63. Since Jared and Ivanka testified

Trump will probably say she is adopted, he never liked her any way!

[dflprincess]

47. Bribe or payoff for a copy of the classified documents TFG took to Mar-a-Lago? nt

[Stuart G]

51. K and R

[William Gustafson]

52. The laptop doesn't exist....

Nobody has ever seen the laptop.... Rudy only has a hard drive that he has copied more times that Carter has pills. When the FBI looked at a copy of the hard drive, they could tell it was a bunch of crap because the Megadata showed that a lot of the information was installed just a year and half ago.... plus, Rudy says there is child porn on this hard drive, which means, he has been copying child porn and handing it out to all his friends.... A Felony!...... Anytime a MAGAet says something about Hunters Laptop... asked the if they ever seen it... a picture, a video, anything.... and their answer will be no.... because it doesn't exist!
And as far as Jared, my only question is... who did he sell out for this money? I suspect it was all of us.

[uponit7771]

56. +1,

[uponit7771]

55. K&R, its the DOJ giving Hunter Biden MAGA allegations air. The M$M's tangible anti Biden bias ..

... isn't helping

[Diraven]

57. The media is desensitized and hypersensitized

Republicans being corrupt is so common it's not even news anymore. It's expected. Especially with Trump because he and his family are "businesspeople", they are expected to try to stay rich by any means possible, corrupt or not. If getting rich hurts the country, well that's just good business. Nothing to see here.

On the other hand the news media has been so trained by right-wing pundits and shows claiming everything democrats do, often completely made up, is a major scandal, that any wrong-doing attributed to Democrats must instantly become major news, or else the RW echo chamber will beat them to the punch and blare it everywhere so it in effect becomes THE news for a lot of Americans who are in their thrall.

[Skittles]

59. Dems are treated like women and POC, repukes are treated like white men

that's really what it is
