How do you justify the grift?

[Bucky Cornstarch]

would you still vote for "said democrat" over any given republican?

Yes. Absolutely. 🙄

The candidates do not matter. The candidates' stances on the issues don't matter. Like you, once I've joined the cult and been told how to think, I toe the party line no matter what.

Feels good, man.

Trump buys at least $82 million in bonds since late August, disclosures show

Excerpt:

WASHINGTON, Nov 15 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump bought at least $82 million in corporate and municipal bonds from late August to early October including new investments in sectors benefiting from his policies, financial disclosures made public on Saturday showed.
According to the forms released by the U.S. Office of Government Ethics, Trump carried out more than 175 financial purchases from August 28 through October 2. The disclosures, made under a 1978 transparency law called the Ethics in Government Act, do not list exact amounts for each purchase, only providing a broad range.

Trump's White House hosts Saudi Crown Prince with big deals being inked

Excerpt:

Personal ties underride the visit

Trump is expected to host a dinner for the crown prince while the Saudis are also hosting a major investment forum on the sidelines of the trip with top U.S. executives of major hedge funds, defense firms and technology firms.

Alongside the flurry of bilateral deals are also billions of dollars from the Gulf flowing into Trump family ventures, from crypto to real estate.

Raghida Dergham, chair of the Beirut Institute think tank, says there's a blurred line between Trump's family business and his administration.

"And they don't hide it. They don't make that a secret. They think this is part of what happens anywhere in the world," she says. "But it's very unlike the traditions of the United States, because you separate family from country."

There are several Trump-branded golf courses and towers being developed across the Gulf, including in Saudi Arabia, by a private Saudi developer. Just months after leaving the White House as adviser in Trump's first term, the president's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, also got seed money to start his private equity fund from a sovereign wealth fund overseen by the Saudi crown prince: $2 billion worth, according to the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal.

The White House says there's no conflict of interest, and that it's "ridiculous" to suggest he's doing anything for his own benefit.

[neurosis]

Yes, it's ridiculous to think Trump is doing anything for his own benefit! 

He's not wasting his time in the WH this time. He's covering an entire political career of corruption in just 8 months.
