[NEWS] White House ballroom donors have almost $300B in federal contracts
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/...forcement/

No opportunity for graft here. I’m sure nothing is wrong here and it won’t cost the taxpayers any additional monies. As we know the faceless mega corps of the military industrial complex are so civic minded and giving with their funds. There’s no way they’d expect something for their contributions

Is this like GWB getting OBL's relatives out of the country shortly after 9/11 even though OBL's relatives had nothing to do with 9/11? Oh. It is? Well, then. What a massive nothing burger this turned out to be. lol

Also, lol Washington Post.

Glad they are giving some back. Those democrat federal contracts just pocket all the cash and declare bankruptcy.

Or maybe like the son of a president getting a pardon after promising not to give said pardon?

At least it's not the VP's son getting a cushy job in foreign country on the board of a O&G company, with no experience in the O&G or speaking the local language and banking millions or using AF2 with his dad to China to help shore up a deal.. I mean those are nothing compared to this grift..

Remind me again which Presidents came out of the Oval Office with less money than serving in the last 25 years?

So the fact that there is an "opportunity" for corruption makes it newsworthy? Hell, that opportunity exists with every single transaction that occurs between defense contractors and federal contractors and the federal government. Duh...

And King Dumdum, aka Not-So-Happy-Appy, bring out J6 once again. What an idiot.

3A: Well, that's because Not-So-Happy-Appy isn't very smart.

That's all they have is J6.. I counter with there have been two assassination attempts on a Presidential Candidate and the assassination of a man speaking on campus by leftist scum bags. When you clean your f'n house and tone down the f'n temperature of your hate speech, then we can discuss J6.

They're never going to because they don't care. Heck, like Andy B. says over and over, they want us dead. (At least we know some of them do.)

I'm trying to figure out which grade Ball Boy was in at elementary school, when he permanently dropped out.

Definitely a legitimate criticism and one most everyone disapproved of including myself.

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.
