Corruption is never legal. It’s allowed against the law and the ones who allow it are committing crimes as well. This will all come to light. Perhaps not in the next two years but it will!
Doesn't matter they can never top Kamala haul of a billion dollars in her 3 month campaign! I bet HER inauguration would have been ten times what his could ever hope to be. she pulled in a billion once , i bet she could pull in 5 billion for her party!
There will probably be a price list for administration services so corporations and the 1% know how much money to donate to see their pet project happen. 😢
When Bondi was Florida AG, the state was debating whether to join a lawsuit against Rump’s college scam. He gave her reelection campaign $25,000. Florida did not join. Looking for more of this behavior.
....and the MAGA idiots who are poverty-ridden, voted in an oligarch who couldn't give a fig about improving their lives! 🤭😆
The wealthy greedily jump aboard to become part of the oligarchy ensuring that the poor remain, poor.
I think so too. If we can keep a spotlight on the corruption and income inequality maybe we can get the attention of non-voters and a few republicans. Could be a game changer.
It's good thing too all the 'fiscal conservatives' understand this is important but not cancer research for children. That is excessive government spending. Money for rich people and warfare, that's free somehow.
Let's play "We are not only doing worse than 2012 in money in politics. Now people are almost completely ignored." Just remember an important concept happening. Democrats are not moving the needle left, they are just being doormats for the GOP to do 'status quo'. Which is just staying right.
Annual budget for several school districts? College scholarships for underprivileged? Prenatal care for hundreds of thousands of moms? Infrastructure repairs and upgrades. Housing and/out mental health support for homeless vets? Grocery stores in good desserts? Etc etc.
Where are the people who constantly post, “ what about NC? “ when they learn Trump is getting $200 million in donator his inauguration?? This event usually costs $100 mil. so what’s he doing with the rest of the money????
Those donations are discretionary funds. Frump doesn’t need to use them on the inauguration. He just made $20 million and can do whatever he wants with it…
Thank you Michelle Obama and Nancy Pelosi !!!! A peaceful transfer of power, yes. Don’t storm the Capital and beat up police. BUT DON’T GO TO THE RAPIST’S INAUGURATION EITHER !!! I will lose a measure of respect for anyone who attends. Their attendance is their approval of rape and crime.
After all of Trump's birther bullshit Obama is going to Trump's inauguration for a second time. I could MAYBE understand it the first time as the outgoing President. But the second time? No. And Obama has never been subtle about his dislike of Trump.
How's he going to launder this into pocket if he doesn't have the hotel anymore? Event planning? Food services? Shell company that provides bleachers? We need to see those receipts.
Unfortunately, this shit is nothing new. It's just out in the open now. Trump is winning his war on Democracy and turning this great Nation into a mirror image of a corrupt Banana Republic.
What a waste of $200 million. Just think how those funds could benefit North Carolina hurricane and California fire storms survivors. These people lost everything and have to rebuild their entire lives. Instead these rich blowhards piss away millions on a fucking celebration for the orange turd.
They are buying favors just like they did for every other president. It should not be allowed! At least they could do is forward most of the proceeds to those disasters.
I hope people actively engage in a fight against big corporations. It is tough but it is one step toward reclaiming our democracy. These greedy bastards, Bezos, Musk, Zuckerberg, et al, they don’t care about more money, they care about owning you.

“Don’t know what you got ..till it’s gonnnnne..
Now I know what I got .. just this song..
And it ain’t easy to get back .. takes so loo…loo..looong”
The Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies, which is formed by a congressional resolution every four years, several months in advance of the presidential election, plans and finances the presidential inaugural events held at the Capitol, 1/3
including the swearing-in ceremony and the congressional luncheon to honor the President and Vice President.) The obvious question is “Why are Bezos, Zuckerberg and Google giving $1m to the Trump Inauguration fund?” 2/3
I’m Australian and we don’t have anything like this. Is this - donating to an inauguration fund - a new thing? Or is it just the level of donations that’s different? It all seems both corrupt and weird.
The Joint Congressional Committee plans and funds the presidential inauguration. Donations are made to them and are to be recorded and accounted for. The last time DT was inaugurated we never found out where most of the money went. So, these are basically bribes.
Fear of retribution/Black listed aka canceled. I’d bet a good portion of the knee benders hate his F-ing guts but need to be sure their brand stays afloat. He has 10x more power and influence thanks to our sick maga congress, crooked SCOTUS and (real) President Musk running things.
Correction: they’re corporations that WERE facing federal investigations. You can guarantee most of those investigations if not all of them will mysteriously disappear over the next few months. Justice might be blind, but a river of cash goes a long way toward curing that blindness.
Doesn't. 1--bragging rights, falsely equating $$ with popularity. 2--grift: most of that will go directly in Chump's pockets, exactly like last time. No one to enforce the laws that protect against that...just like last time. 3--now the donors' legal woes go away. SO surprising...not.
I can only disagree with the term "legalized" in this statement.
Perhaps if "unconstitutionally" was added it would better describe the current state of "legality".
Americans are at a stage where we can still take back from the building oligarchs anything we want to take back. We out number them and they should be shaking in their shoes. Most Americans do not realize Hollywood and our government are the oligarchy-time to inform and target.
But how much is going into his pocket? Just like last time. I betcha they don't serve anything but Mac burgers and orange Kool aid at the parties. All more like fund raisers for him.🙄
The corporations dropped dems so fast and capitulated to republicans. I guess it don’t matter what side is in office. The democrats need to reclaim their party and make them work for the people again.
I haven't listened to a word he's said since election day and I never will. If he says anything I'll read the transcript if it isn't just his usual rambling.
How much is being used for legal bills? And by legal bills, I mean how much is being embezzled under the guise of legal bills even though we all know he doesn't pay his bills.
I can’t see how America will come back from this. The federal government is now going to be run as a crime enterprise and the highest court in the land will act as consigliere to the mafia boss.
Sad thing is that all his ordinary supporters that show up don't even realize he could care less about them. I have never seen such foolish, blind, and misinformed followers in my lifetime as MAGA.
#Trump is #accepting #bribes not to #sick the #GOVT on all the #billionaires that didn't #help get him elected. It's a #totalgrift. Unending amounts of $$$$$ to take away from the #AmericanPeople including you stupid #Maga voters, No thanks to you.
To make matters worse, we still don't have an accounting from what happened to the surplus from his first inauguration. There are almost no laws or rules. Not that he believes in laws and rules.
Could someone explain to me what he has over all of these people, corporate and congress? I get taxes and government contracts, but this is insane! And now that Musk owns Trump, as my mom said, it’s gone to hell in a hand basket.
IMHO, the corporations and the media all believe him when he says he will use the government to "punish" those who were/are mean to him. He has his followers helping him this time not reining him in. They are all afraid of him instead of standing up to him, even though they have more $$ than he does
Don't forget the Epstein evidence.
He has damning evidence on some of them.
The others are just terrified that they'll be primaried and lose their cushy jobs and lobbyists income.
I want to know, if there is a weather event, like a blizzard. Cold at below zero. They have to cancel the ball. 45 gets sworn in with few there. Do they have to refund all this money?? Or does 45 stick it in his back pocket. You know, cause that is what he will do for the next 4 years.
At least they're not hiding their KKK clansmen fugly faces while wearing out their worn out kneepads! Remember who they are next time you buy their products!
This is Trump's dynasty family values shady biz practices! 👇
Check her FEC filings. Why is it when I speak up against someone like Hilary Clinton, that instantly makes me a DT supporter? I guess having principles means nothing anymore?
Also everything else you mention in there it already sucks. I pay close to $900/mo for medical stuff and it’s not getting any better. It’s been that way long before 2016.

It's not 'corruption'.
It's an Agenda.
Be advised.

Too Late.

If only, huh?
Now there’s going to be a $195-million dollar solid gold toilet in the White House with Trump’s image on it.
(Cuz you KNOW he’s gonna spend ALL that money on HIMSELF.)
Tomorrow would be good.

Should I assume these are tax free for some weirdo reason? Maybe they’re regarded as tips not bribes.

That kind of wire fraud used to get prosecuted.
