  1. Four more years of policy choices based on this very, very, VERY STUPID man’s understanding of the world. We could have 26 million homes powered by cheap, clean energy (offshore wind is *not* the most expensive form of energy, it’s not even close) but the Orange Dumb Dumb has sleazy deals with the Saudis that he needs to keep in place.

    1. Sounds like somebody could use some fresh air. Maybe you could go pull the Harris/Walz signs out of your yard. Also, would you please expand on these deals that our president-elect has in place with the Saudis?

    2. Are we sure that $2 billion isn’t just a thank you for allowing them to feed Khashoggi into a literal meat grinder and not calling them on it?

    3. It could be any number of things the Trump presidency did to please the Saudis, Joe (we probably don’t know half the deals that transpired between them). It was not as though the ethical bar at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue back then was all that high. Indeed, it’s likely to be even lower in Trump 2.0 since there will be no internal guardrails to stop them.

    4. But but but, the first term they claimed they were draining the swamp and ridding it of corruption! They were going to hire all the best people!

      Which must be why Trump is demanding he be allowed to staff his administration with no Congressional oversight … because they’re so qualified, right?

      Someone ought to sneak into the Congressional chambers and call out “You lie!” at all of them, especially Banks, when he takes that oath to the Constitution.

  2. Kushner set up his private equity firm AFTER Trump left office. So, there’s that. Still not clear as to what deals DJT personally had in place with the Saudis. Started to read the Forbes article until I got to “Casar noted that Hunter Biden had years of boardroom experience before he was hired at energy firms under investigation”. WTF? He had experience that’s for sure. I think your outrage is a bit selective. Would you at least admit that the Biden’s were somewhat sketchy.

    1. You’re being willfully ignorant. It’s been laid out quite clearly. Kushner has a private equity firm with $3 billion investments from overseas, has charged $112 million in fees, and hasn’t made a cent yet?

      But, sure, keep on with the both sides business.

      https://www.thedailybeast.com/jared-kushners-questionable-private-equity-firm-hasnt-made-any-profits/

      Speaking of somewhat sketchy, wasn’t it odd all the Trump kids got national security clearances at the insistence of their dad? Where was the outrage on that front, given their only qualification for such was their last name?

    2. Lol y’all FA’d with Hunter Biden and that made up nonsense, so you’re going FO and we will shove all of the Trump family’s criminal dealings in your faces for the next four years.

      Every day.
