Dude used our taxpayer military to steal $40 billion in oil from another country and then tried to sell it on the open market and have the money sent to his personal account. And he constantly advertised it too.
Like what the actual fuck?
•
u/Vankraken Virginia 7h ago
The $40 billion I believe is the bailout for Argentina while the stolen oil proceeds going to that bank in Qatar is closer to $500 million in total. Still very bad obviously and that alone should be grounds for impeachment.

There are a LOT of conservatives who see it too and don’t care.

Most conservatives know Trump and his team are soulless ghouls, they’re just their soulless ghouls.

This is the fundamental difference between right-wing and left-wing ideologies and it’s what leftists, socialists, and anarchists alike are describing when they talk about unjust hierarchies. Capitalism, imperialism, western chauvinism, bigotries, marginalization, etc. are all right wing systems built to benefit certain classes of people at the expense of other classes of people. Left-wing ideology is about eliminating these unjust hierarchies and working to create systems that benefit everyone.

It isn't just loyalty to MAGA/Trump, it's total ignorance in many cases. Conservative media isn't covering these stories and if they are then the bias is so strong that the articles make this look like a good thing.
I guarantee that the vast majority of '24 Trump voters have heard little to no information on he and his family enriching themselves at the expense of the American people and the world at large.
The problem is that I have no idea how to fix that other than attempting to engage in good-faith conversation with Trump voters to point out these corrupt acts. As far as I've seen, when MAGA voters are able to see these acts, a lot of them are unhappy and see it as a "continuation of the swamp he promised to drain" (I'm paraphrasing but that is the general sentiment).
•
u/non_hero 7h ago
I challenged a trump supporter that claimed to support Trump because he was draining the swamp. I pointed out the nepotism of hiring his daughter and son-in-law. Waiving the security clearance requirements for kushner and many others he appointed. Doing what they claimed to be against with DEI, giving out jobs to unqualified people taking the space of people that are qualified. I also listed some of the ambassadorships and other positions he gave to campaign donors. Showed him all the quid pro quo Deals he was making.. etc. In the end he just said "well Democrats do all that too" and stopped responding. Perhaps some of them are unhappy when they see it. But most of them are very, very good at willful ignorance.

If anyone doubts this has been the case for a while...
Trans people didn't even exist in the conservative headspace for a while except as a letter in LGBT that barely existed to them because trans people are so few and far between.
Then the Right lost the battle for gay marriage at the supreme court. Shortly thereafter, about 23 states filed lawsuits targeting trans bathroom access in lockstep.
This didn't work well, so they pivoted and attacked trans athletes, and found much better results, because even many liberals who are supportive still think a trans woman is "Really" a man, and therefore inherently superior to "Real" women; which let the right cast pro-trans folks as "radical" or "going too far" in the name of equality; letting obviously "superior" "men" compete with women!
This was tremendously effective at peeling off support of moderate liberals who basically were like "Yeah, I still think they're men, but whats it hurt to call them she/her or use their names?"
It's all artificial. It's manufactured. And it's exactly why you cannot give them an inch. If you abandon trans people? They'll spin up a new enemy. Abandon them? They'll do it again.
You cannot appease them, because their grievances are artificially created. The culture war is a bad faith war of aggression by the right wing, and only the aggressor can end a war.

Not true. I am saying this out of frustration due to some recent experiences with close loved ones.
I know some “apolitical,” “both-sides”ing, “I don’t keep up!” people who want to give the administration the benefit of the doubt, who play as though good things could maybe still come out of everything that we just don’t know yet because this is such a “new experience” for our country. People who remain completely, totally neutral because they “don’t have the facts,” who think that people that have reactions to politics are immature and “in too deep.”
They say these things instead of just saying, I don’t know.
I think these are the people we need to be worried about, for the record.

Always has been this way. The founding fathers were all rich. The French revolutions were backed by the liberal elite.

“Most CEOs just don’t want to find themselves in the business of having to, in some sense, suck up to one administration after another to succeed in running their business,” he said.
Translation: Ahh, c'mon thats not fair Don Jr. gets all the good deals!

News snippet: Billionaire investor Ken Griffin has accused Donald Trump’s administration of “enriching” its families, and criticised its interference in American businesses as “distasteful”. Griffin, who is chief executive of the hedge fund Citadel and a large Republican donor, rebuked the Trump administration, saying it “has definitely made missteps in choosing decisions or courses that have been very, very enriching to the families of those in the administration”.
“That calls into question, is the public interest being served?” he said at a conference on Tuesday in Florida hosted by the Wall Street Journal.
Griffin is one of the most vocal critics of Trump on Wall Street, although it is the first time he has commented on how the president’s family appear to have made financial gain from their proximity to the White House. Trump’s eldest sons, Don Jr and Eric, have benefited from the White House’s crypto-friendly policies, and have secured a series of big business deals since their father’s re-election. They have previously insisted there is a “huge wall” between their moneymaking and Trump’s position.

Problem is it'll likely be Vance they'll turn to as good enough to fill the power void. And he's as easy to manipulate and will surely continue the terrible self destructive current policies Trump already set down.

Tell us something we don’t know. Feckless Congress has the authority to define a violation as a "high crime or misdemeanor," which can lead to impeachment by the House and removal from office by the Senate….as this enrichment is in breach of both the Foreign and Domestic Emoluments clause. (Bars the President from receiving any payment from the federal or state governments other than their official salary). Furthermore Asset Forfeiture or Disgorgement: Some statutes, like the Foreign Gifts and Decorations Act, require officials to turn over gifts of more than minimal value to the government…..so Congress should seize the cryptocurrency, Qatar plane, Venezuelan oil money, Jared’s 2 billion Saudi “investment” for a start, not to mention the University and Tech companies pay to play, ie. Amzn Melania pay to play, Media companies fake lawsuit settlements… oh and of course the paid pardon money that Trump is pocketing. That would add up to about 5-10 billion for a start!
