Nope, not laundering at all....
if it is it's on such a pathetic small scale you'd almost be inclined to feel sorry for family Trump. there are probably 16 year old weed dealers needing to do more than thisTB63 wrote: Sat Dec 17, 2022 10:51 amMax of 10 per person @$100 each..$9900 per transaction..100 dollars below having to declare where it came from ....

If it is indeed laundering, it shows how desperate Trump must be for funds given that Trump Organisation's funds are not available to him now.Rhubarb & Custard wrote: Sun Dec 18, 2022 12:32 amif it is it's on such a pathetic small scale you'd almost be inclined to feel sorry for family Trump. there are probably 16 year old weed dealers needing to do more than this
https://www.nytimes.com/live/2022/12/19 ... ttee-trumpThe committee accused the former president of inciting insurrection and other federal crimes as it referred him to the Justice Department, which does not have to act on its recommendations.
That's not what they said they'd do is it? And okay the loons takeover in Congress but can they hand this off to the Senate rather than going back on the legal reasons they submitted for getting their hands on the documents?fishfoodie wrote: Mon Dec 19, 2022 10:07 pm The House "Ways & Means" Committee has 7 years worth of his tax returns, & now is planning a gift to prosecutors around the Nation, by having a vote tomorrow to make them public.
Merry Christmas Mother Fucker !!!
On the Jan 6th recommendations; I can see either Meadows, or Eastman, running to the Feds to make a deal. They're both up to their necks in criminal behavior, & smart enough to know that they've no protection, & the first rat, is the only one that doesn't see the inside of prison.
The Committee Chair was looking for the records in order to monitor that the Presidents tax returns were subject to be a mandatory audit annually, as previous Presidents have been, since 1970. As we found out today; they weren't, because the shitball put flunkies in charge of the IRS.Rhubarb & Custard wrote: Mon Dec 19, 2022 11:48 pmThat's not what they said they'd do is it?

If they go ahead it's somewhat akin to say what some of the Supremes did when they lied in their Senate hearings about Roe being settled law. Say one thing and then do another just because you can. And for those who object to the hypocrisy shown by some of the Supremes I don't know you get to approve now just because Trump is such a wanker
Washington CNN —
The January 6 committee made a startling allegation on Monday, claiming it had evidence that a Trump-backed attorney urged a key witness to mislead the committee about details they recalled.
Though the committee declined to identify the people, CNN has learned that Stefan Passantino, the top ethics attorney in the Trump White House, is the lawyer who allegedly advised his then-client, former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson, to tell the committee that she did not recall details that she did, sources familiar with the committee’s work tell CNN.
Trump’s Save America political action committee funded Passantino and his law firm Elections LLC, including paying for his representation of Hutchinson, other sources tell CNN. The committee report notes the lawyer did not tell his client who was paying for the legal services.
That's a guy you want in your corner. Not.
Certainly is comical. And it's all the usual players that keep voting for the pedo Jim Jordan, even though he has stated he doesn't want the job (too much scrutiny I suspect).

Nope, ran it through numerous translation apps and still makes no sense whatsoever..I actually think that a big Republican VICTORY today, after going through numerous Roll Calls that failed to produce a Speaker of the House, has made the position & process of getting to be Speaker BIGGER & MORE IMPORTANT than if it were done in the more traditional way, much like me again becoming President after having won big in 2016, gotten many Millions of MORE VOTES in 2020 but “supposedly” not winning (BIG LIE!), & then winning again in 2024. It will be BIGGER than the traditional way!

I'm surprised you expected it toIt’s the ‘you’ve got to break it to fix it’ mentality. Very common in libertarian thought - Dominic Cummings had it as his standard approach. They think you need to rip everything apart and rebuild it. If it rebuilds itself the same way, then that’s fine, it just says it was right and efficient. But that ignores the years you lost rebuilding it while your country plummets down the standard of living tables.Snooze wrote: Thu Jan 05, 2023 6:00 pm And now Gaetz votes for Trump for House Speaker.

Yep, they're not even pretending to be anything other than utterly venal at this point. And all the Democrats have to do to look like the adults in the room is sit tight and eat popcorn.fishfoodie wrote: Thu Jan 05, 2023 9:00 pmThere isn't any philosophy behind it !
This is is just egotistical, maniacs who don't give a shit about anyone other than themselves, trying to out-grift each other. They don't give a shit about the Country, as I saw one commentator say; this is about, "likes, clicks, & donations !"

This transparent GOP self-serving power-lust is becoming almost laughably self-destructive. It would be great if the decisive vote to finally reach the magic 218 ends up being held by George Santos.
