    Remember back in 2015 when it was news that Trump was not going to divest from his business interests? This is the result of that.

    I hope these three journalists have appropriate security for following these threads.

    Terrrific reporting into the obvious. I hope something more than absolutely nothing comes of this.

    An obvious ’duhh’ moment, but still important to understand these details when you share your views with anybody without sounding like some tin-foil hat wacko. Thx for the share

    Anyone in a coma between 2016 and 2028 is going to be shocked when they come out of it!

    This is standard operating procedure.

    Reps and others pass laws; they invest accordingly.

    It's easy to make a fortune when you can predict outcomes. "If we pass this law, ________ will profit. Let's buy ________ now, before the rush of investors."

    This is why they and their entire families become stinking rich on such a small salary, looking into Maxine Waters recently, for example, was blatant and shocking to me.

    Trump's entire family are now billionaires, in just a few years in office.

    Add up all of these little "perks" and you realize that politics are one of the easiest ways to become rather wealthy... much easier than running a small business, for example.

    Seems more than a little likely these idiots would try to provoke an attack in order to either justify building a golden dome or to test something they've already built...

    Good thing the most competent administration in history replaced diversity with meritocracy, otherwise I'd be a little worried about them being arrogant, not knowing what they're doing, and refusing to listen to anyone who isn't a yes man, and inevitably killing us all in an attempt to prove how useful they really are.

    Seeing how far AI has come in the U.S. since 2025 should reassure us that we're in excellent, and very large hands.

    .. they help "regulate".

    Falsifying-quotes should have been used in the title, tbh.

    Almost like the intertwined roots of a swamp flooded with filth.
