Not least of which because Trump used it as justification for pardoning the violent insurrectionists who tried to overthrow the government.
Although classic “whataboutism” when you know you have no argument.
Ok - are you getting 10% kickback on this stuff too?
Yes I’ve set up a crypto company and pardoned 2 convicted money launderers who also did business with drug dealers and pedos to help funnel money into the bank accounts of me and my family.
Oh wait silly me that’s not me that did that.
On a scale of 1 to 10. This ballroom thing is barely a 1 FFS.
As for the pardon BS, they ALL do it... all of them. Some should never have been pardoned to begin with for sure, and not just JB or DJT...
Your f-ing head is in the sand if you think Trump is the one and only person on the planet to show bias or favoritism toward other entities or people who support them financially. That schidt is as old as time. Kickbacks, tax breaks, overvalued contracts ... seriously, get off your high horse.
It ok to just say I hate Trump and everything he does no matter what it is.
Where you and most of us here seem to differ is that you believe we support everything Trump does 100% - most actually do not. Tis ballroom BS is a perfect example... you are getting your nuts in a bunch over something that happens in all walks of life every day.... That is a waste of energy to us "supporters" because that is just how life works, get over it.
Most here do not agree with pardoning someone who does not truly deserve it ... and there are a few who Trump set free that he should not have.
Get over yourself ballgagger.
you guys always miss the point. No one is arguing that humans don't act in a certain way, and that given a chance people will do X Y and Z for financial gain. Thats why we have rules, laws and checks and balances. Trump is bypassing the checks and balances (cheered on by short sighted MAGAs).
Going through the proper channels would remove the spectre of impropriety. I think given the sheer amount of $$ in government contracts available to donors, this will end up costing the American taxpayer far more than the cost of the ballroom.
For example I do business with a supplier who has government contracts. If he takes a government contractor out to dinner, that contractor has to pay for his own meal. by doing that, even though it cost the taxpayer a $100 or whatever it costs, it removed the implication that the supplier might curry favor by paying for a meal.
Stop.. You're making a fool of yourself. If you want to have a serious conversation about this, then you need to bring in Biden and Obama to this conversation. Again both of these men left office with more money than they did when they came in, but in Trump's first term he left with less money.
But I get it.. You are like some of these Dem brainiacs who say when a Dem president is elected, tear down the ball room and spend taxpayer money to build something.
So you want to have a conversation about grifting, let's have it. By your own metric Joe Biden and his family should be locked up and the key thrown away. Hunter sat on a board in Ukraine for a company in which he had zero experience in the industry and the language. Hunter also flew in AF2 to China to secure a deal with his dad. The Bidens sold access to Joe, and Joe benefitted.
Currently donors have paid money to build a ballroom and they also have government contracts. I do not see how this is benefiting Donald Trump, but what I do see is that contracts were awarded to people who in turn gave money so we didn't have to pay for their contracts and a new ballroom. In your mind double dipping and paying for both would be wonderful, then the companies go belly up and not have to produce a single thing.
You suck at this. Have a good day. And may God have mercy on your poor little soul.

Stop.. You're making a fool of yourself. If you want to have a serious conversation about this, then you need to bring in Biden and Obama to this conversation. Again both of these men left office with more money than they did when they came in, but in Trump's first term he left with less money.
But I get it.. You are like some of these Dem brainiacs who say when a Dem president is elected, tear down the ball room and spend taxpayer money to build something.
So you want to have a conversation about grifting, let's have it. By your own metric Joe Biden and his family should be locked up and the key thrown away. Hunter sat on a board in Ukraine for a company in which he had zero experience in the industry and the language. Hunter also flew in AF2 to China to secure a deal with his dad. The Bidens sold access to Joe, and Joe benefitted.
Currently donors have paid money to build a ballroom and they also have government contracts. I do not see how this is benefiting Donald Trump, but what I do see is that contracts were awarded to people who in turn gave money so we didn't have to pay for their contracts and a new ballroom. In your mind double dipping and paying for both would be wonderful, then the companies go belly up and not have to produce a single thing.
You suck at this. Have a good day. And may God have mercy on your poor little soul.
But but but but muhhhh Obbbbaaammmaaaaarrrr
Nice rebuttal. On par with your IQ level I see. Now refute what I'm saying or take this ish elsewhere.
Dude, you're basically asking...demanding...him to do things that you in no way shape or form request or demand from your own side. You have no room to tell others what do.
And you're sadly missing the boat if you think any of us have any love for Hunter Biden and his act. Outside of explaining the actual facts outside of the right-wing lies, that's were it ended.
We covered this ad nauseum years ago. Of course Burisma hired Hunter to try and gain some access with the USA. But you've had years and you never showed that they got any access or that anything illegal actually occurred. You can still reach that conclusion while you say Hunter was a POS, get it?
And lastly, enough with the speaking for God like you have some lofty perch in which you get to dole out absolution for others souls.

Shame nobody cares.
U.S. of A. Needs an appropriate facility to hold larger State functions, has for many decades.
Your President is building one with private citizens donated monies.
Who cares if they get an extra snail on the escargot app, or THE HORROR!!!
They receive TWO scoops of WH ice cream while the other guests only get one.
Y’all remember that golden oldie Hoax? Was a 2 week leading story with The Crazy.
until this story emerged, I didn't even realize some state functions were hosted outdoors on the lawn ... all I could think of was some prancy whack-a-doodle in a Vera Wang $20K dress having to take a dump in the porta-poddy whilst getting stuck due to wearing heals on the way in ...
