Does he personally own these buildings?

teflondub.bsky.social•66 days ago

I’m sure the bidding process will be transparent and competitive, they won’t be sold for pennies on the dollar, and the government won’t agree to indefinite leasebacks at huge rates, said nobody ever.

What the actual fuck?

Democrats should warn any prospective buyers that they’ll be seized the moment a Democratic president is elected.

saltyafmermaid.bsky.social•66 days ago

I mean they already sold America, so....

aaronwiener.bsky.social•66 days ago

Strangely, this evening 123 of the properties disappeared from the list, including all the ones in D.C.

I'm still waiting for the GSA to give me an explanation for what happened and whether this was an error.

Even stranger that the IRS Center in Ogden is on the list as an empty building. That building is packed to the rafters with thousands of employees and more coming in next week with Return to Office.

Maybe someone told them they'd tank the Washington property market and their own potential windfalls if they flooded it with listings. No, forget about it, that would be too sensible.

Probably Musk bought them at a deep discount. He'll rent them back to the government at full price on a sole source contract and call it a savings.

i really think this guy was elected to destroy the u.s. just imagine what he can do with more 4 years and 11 months. we're about to see east u.s. and west u.s. separated by a big wall.

yesfishtoday.bsky.social•66 days ago

Watch this bullshit. Trump is going to sell them to insiders and then have the government lease them back at exorbitant rates. HE MUST BE STOPPED

Government buildings now. Next is public lands and National Parks.

I remember when Russia sold off all their industries to the men we now call oligarchs.

Those industries use to belong to the Russian people

The FBI building is so decrepit & run down it needs to go. The dems should just agree on that one and then say they’ll talk about the others. Given Trump has the attention span of a fruit fly, it will probably work.

Democrats need to announce that these sales are illegal. That if Democrats win back power, they will repossess these buildings and will not pay the buyers back any lost funds as these will be considered property gained through illegal means

blanderest.bsky.social•66 days ago

Then lease them back on 25 yr lease. In the long run it will cost the taxpayers a butt ton of money

Putin need a crash pad when he visits Donnie? Bring a few buddies with him too? Buy a few gold cards? Maybe stay a while?

citizenofthworld.bsky.social•66 days ago

Don't these buildings belong to us?

sageblackwood.bsky.social•66 days ago

I don't understand how that is even legal

dorli.bsky.social•66 days ago

Sell them to his bff, Wladimir?

melbaggers.bsky.social•66 days ago

Where the hell will the DoJ work?

ondrejvalenta.bsky.social•66 days ago

Ok, now it's official, it's a one big SCAM, they know they won't last whole 5 years, so they sell the buildings to their friends so later next US government will have to rent them for huge amount of money.

mcchris85.bsky.social•66 days ago

Sell them off & pocket the money for themselves!?

jefflee65.bsky.social•66 days ago

Guess who's buying for pennies on the dollar?

dkod19.bsky.social•66 days ago

It sounds like a 'sell-and-lease-back' scheme that is ruining the commercial real estate market. Somebody will make a ton of money on this, but it won't be the USA.

DC will return to the 1960’s known as a sleepy Southern City where beer drinking will be allowed at 18 yrs old.
