Every accusation is an admission.
Projection. Republicans ought to run a movie theater.
They'd burn through the fucking screens.
Republicans are running a movie theater. Except they run it like a ~~Boulder~~ Aurora Colorado movie theater showing The Dark Knight Rises.
Well we know the buying a property and claiming it as your primary residence was. As she showed the application for the loan to a source right after being accused of it. And then another news company followed up on it and showed Trump filed applications to buy two properties in Florida claiming they were going to be his primary residence.... While simultaneously claiming his primary residence was elsewhere. (I think Mar-A-Lago, but can't remember)
Everyone except himself, of course. Every single investigation into him has been a "witch hunt"!
Didn't he even make a task force called the Office of the Weaponization of Government?
My first rule of life: People are most suspicious of their own behavior. Cheaters think every one is cheating on them, thieves think everyone is stealing from them. If someone baselessly accuses you of something, they're most likely doing it themselves.
That’s how mafia states like Russia work.
When the investigators are ideologically committed to punishing political opponents for any perceived slights, one doesn't have to be guilty of anything to be worried about being investigated...
Corrupt people think everyone has to be corrupt, liars think everyone has to be a liar, so on and so forth…
I guess Trump made this specific accusation because he saw the headlines about him making at least $1.4 billion in his first year back in office, and felt he needed to poison the well.
I know the DOJ has no credibility anymore, but god, imagine a world where they did their job and investigated the $400 million jet, the hundreds of millions of untraceable crypto and meme coins he's started that foreign actors could use anonymously in violation of FECA and Constitutional emoluments restrictions, the "Board of Peace" donation fund controlled by Trump personally...
Doesn't she have a rich husband and got married?
She has already submitted her tax returns, unlike a certain someone who promised them a decade ago.
"we're investigating the 400th richest member of the house"
I'd actually support this if it wasn't obvious retribution. We should constantly be closely watching how all elected officials are making money.
I appreciate your sentiment, but Ilhan Omar's "sudden wealth" is entirely attributable to her marrying a wealthy guy. That's it, that explains it all. She married well. The right is only making a stink out of it because their camp is full of people too stupid and hateful for the truth to matter.
Even if everything was completely above board, there should be nothing left for the public to find out about their representatives' finances. If they don't want scrutiny, don't run for office.
If he really cared about this, he'd go after Schmuck Schumer's fortune. But then again, Schumer is one of his most useful assets in the Senate, he doesn't want Schmuck to go anywhere.
I wouldn't mind this if it affected everyone equally.
And Donny is still a very good mate of the pedophile Epstein.
Well he needs people to be looking literally anywhere other than at him right?
•"What's with the obsession over the nothing burger Epstein files? I'm looking into corruption thanks to DOGE!"
•"What's with the obsession over DOGE? I'm bullying the president of Ukraine with V.P. Permaliner because we hate Ukraine and love Putin, right America?
•What's with the obsession over Ukraine? I'm cracking down on immigration with quotas!"
•"What's with the obsession over quotas? There are no quotas! Also don't worry about those JP Morgan bank records of transaction between Epstein and Peter Thiel. Have some compassion, my dear friend Charlie Kirk was just publicly assassinated within hours of the Senate finance committee bringing up those records. It's totally not weird."
"To honor him as a martyr for free speech, I will be cracking down on free speech. I officially declare anyone on the left who refuses to pretend he was the second coming of Jesus, an official terrorist. Also heads up because I need to pretend I don't know Netenyahu is about to kill a bunch of scientists in Iran with Palantir drones, and then I'll also bomb Iran for some reason, and help defend murder of civilians in Gaza who are seeking food at the aid stations I set up for them with Netenyahu's permission."
•"What's with the obsession over free speech, Israel, and the people who definitely aren't starving in Gaza? I'm sending the national guard to invade U.S. cities and show I'm tough on crime!"
•"What's with the obsession over the national guard and CIA trained child soldiers? I'm invading Greenland!"
•"What's with the obsession over Greenland? I'm sanctioning the murder of a U.S. citizen for free speech! And yes. I will be doubling down on it being their fault for thinking they have first amendment rights! Didn't you see the literal memo? It's called NSPM-7. That soccer mom was a terrorist!"
•"What's with the obsession over government sanctioned murder of U.S. citizens for first amendment rights? I'm threatening Iran because of how many civilians the Iranian government has murdered over free speech. Could be a lot worse over here, just saying"... "Anyway, I'm also sanctioning the murder of another U.S. citizen! And yes. I will be doubling down on it being their fault for thinking they have second amendment rights! You got a problem with it? Because we can just go down the line in order one by one. Their rights don't count!"
•"What's with the obsession over government sanctioned murder of U.S. citizens for second amendment rights? I'm looking into a 'lady congressman's' wealth bc she's a Muslim from Minnesota and she said some very hurtful things about me."
look at yourself, ya big dumb prick
Every accusation is an admission.
She can just say her taxes are under audit and will be released in 2 weeks. Rinse and repeat. That's how this works, right?
How DARE she NOT be a BILLIONAIRE!
-Republicans?
More like "How dare a minority woman have any semblance of wealth. That's a man's job!" while not understanding she married a rich guy.
This from the most corrupt politician in US history... get fucking real.
Five bucks it’s just progressive PAC money and Small dollar donations as far as political contributions are concerned (which surprise Donald is totally legal or are you advocating that we get money out of politics and have a campaign system that is publicly run and financed.)
Omar's husband owes a few business, that's where the money comes from. Trump may be confused because those businesses are profitable, and not just a front for money laundering like most Trump ventures.
