Yes, beloved rulers, we're looking at you. Net worth Nancy Pelosi, at least 25 MN$, Dick Cheney, that lovable old grandpa, 150 MN$, John Brennan, our good old friend of democracy in the CIA, just a pathetic 3 MN$ So much for small fry, what's Hillary worth? A mere 120 MN$ Now we're talkin'! And El Senor 45-47?
Wow, a catastrophic 7.5 BN$. Yep, you read that right, billion. Dam, and he isn't even a politician, he's just incredibly rich and loves America. The others, Pelosi, Cheney, Clinton, Kamala, Biden et al have lots of money too, though not at the same stratospheric level as El Senor, Musk, Bezos, Gates or Soros. But here's the thing, and I mean this.
El Senor, for all his Pompey Redivivus, loves America, and this is fitting for a President. The others? Not so much if at all, bought off for mere millions. You will note, dear readers, that Trump is not a politician. You will also note that back in the day, MPs weren't paid, and if you didn't own property you couldn't vote.
They weren't complete idiots, back in the day.
And #45 is the only one that made money in a legal way.
ReplyDeleteHow do I know he made money the legal way? Because he's been investigated over and over since his first big business deal in 1968. And no violations of federal or state law have ever been found. Everything he's done, totally legal.
As he put it in debating Hillary, he sure does use as many legal loopholes to save money from the taxman. And it's been the people in power (the dems) who have made all those loopholes.
Give all those Dem politicians, including our least-favorite bartenderess, AOC, a quarter of the financial scrutiny that Trump has born for nigh onto 56 years.
Beans, I totally agree.
DeleteDick Cheney (spit). Was ever in the history of politics a politician who had a more appropriate name?
ReplyDeleteGood call, Wild. What an excrescence.
Deleteall insider trading at worst and having the privilege of listening to conversations about plans that others do not know about and acting on this in the market - at the very best.
ReplyDeleteIt's revolting, Seamus.
