    It's the social contract.

    If there's enough upheaval in the country, it's going to end up at your front door, and you will care too. That's how the natural balance is kept; if enough people feel the heat, they realize we're all in the pan together and we need to work to turn off the fire.

    yes, Jared has never run a investment firm in his life but suddenly gets billions of dollars in funding

    when his Dad was in jail, by default, Jared took over the CEO duties for the family RE investment firm.

    https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2017/08/is-jared-kushner-the-worlds-worst-real-estate-investor

    In 2007, a 26-year-old Jared Kushner made a splash in the New York City real-estate world when his family firm bought a Midtown tower with
    the inauspicious address 666 Fifth Avenue for what was then a record-setting $1.8 billion

    the poster child for nepotism bought this significant finger at the height of the RE bubble in nyc

    It sincerely blows my mind away that the MAGA cultists @raining threes @Space Ghost have the audacity to use the "Biden crime family" when Trumps family is out there making billions while helping write policy for the WH.

    Melania literally made millions off her crypto scams coin
    Trump is being gifted brand new planes as bribes
    His kids are running around collecting millions in consultation fees

    And these losers pretend its not happening

    I played in a golf tournament yesterday. How many millions, billions of dollars of investment did Trump bring home yesterday?

    Like I said, I genuinely don't know and that's a great pic you put up but it doesn't answer my question?

    lol! Well I guess when you got owned by China publicly the next step is to take credit for things countries were going to buy anyway…. while being corrupt and taking a cut.

    I won the golf tourney. You can’t compete

    SMH,

    I had a great time with friends yesterday. I won.

    Wanna bet after the next 3 yrs that the deficit will be the same or lower.

    Right now the reason the deficit wont lower immediately like you want it too, is because the military needs upgrades in planes/ships etc... and the equipment needs to be upgraded for air traffic controllers. You being a Dem and worrying about the deficit makes me LMAO. Thanks.

    You're probably the most dishonest person here. Dmoneybangbang tells me that you're a child.

    Hate to break it to you but your party wants to add $4 Trillion just to give people tax breaks.

    This dude has me on ignore but someone tell him I'd be willing to bet 1k on this wager. I'd happily draw up a contract and make the bet binding. Can someone message him the wager.

    The Saudis announced a 700 billion dollar investment back in 2017 and never invested a single dollar after they made the announcement. Every country knows how to play the MAGA cultists like a fiddle.

    Make some bullshit announcement about a "investment" => never make the investment => cultists eat it up anyways
