Tsk, tsk, according to Jim no whataboutism allowed!

so you talk about $10 million worth that is documented of where it comes from as if it's a crime spree but ignore your guys billions of ill gotten gains and multiple convictions of lying on tax records and on business deals as if Trump is just business as usual. You're making a fool of yourself.

How did the humble civil servant in the senate get all those millions? How did his dirtbag sexual reprobate, illegal gun swinging, prolific drug using, brothers widow screwing son get his millions and why? How about his brother? Sister? Releasing tax forms you’ve lied on isn’t disclosure!

There is no such thing as a Biden crime family, every accusation has been blown to smithereens. Forbes says Joe BIden is worth $10 million. And, unlike your guy we know where BIden's income comes from because he actually releases his tax returns and is transparent.

Regardless, it's time you owned up to the crimes your pals are bringing to the WH without constantly interjecting the whataboutisms.

I think you will be waiting quite some time for that. One of the core unwritten tenets of MAGA is that they are not responsible or accountable for anything they do. It is always the libs or the Deep State that is at fault.

They are also lacking sufficient self-awareness to see that and will vehemently deny it.

There was no grift in China with the Biden family. Not only has the informant been charged and found guilty in the Burisma case but the China story has fallen apart as well.

So Musk lays off 1,000 US workers and replaces them with H1 B visa foreign workers that he doesn't have to pay as much to

The famous General who took over the Hurricane Katrina response

'BREAKING: Renowned former U.S. Army Lieutenant General Russel L. Honoré sounds the alarm about the "national security risk" posed by MAGA billionaire Elon Musk — and he didn't hold back.
America can not afford to ignore this...
"Mr. Musk’s business ventures are heavily reliant on China. He borrowed at least $1.4 billion from banks controlled by the Chinese government to help build Tesla’s Shanghai gigafactory, which was responsible for more than half of Tesla’s global deliveries in the third quarter of 2024," the general writes in an Op-Ed for The New York Times.
"China does not tend to give things away," he adds. "The country’s laws stipulate that the Communist Party can demand intelligence from any company doing business in China, in exchange for participating in the country’s markets."
According to Honoré, this means that China could demand that Musk hand over sensitive materials due to his close proximity to the Trump administration, using his businesses as leverage.
"The last thing the United States needs is for China to potentially have an easier way of obtaining classified intelligence and national security information," writes the general"
"The question now is whether the incoming Trump administration will take this risk seriously," Honoré adds.
"The fact that Mr. Musk spent a quarter of a billion dollars to help re-elect Mr. Trump does not give the incoming White House the license to look the other way at the national security risks he may pose," he writes.
"If Mr. Trump and his appointees mean what they say about getting tough on America’s adversaries, then they will act on this matter without delay. There is too much at stake to ignore what’s right in front of them," concludes Honoré.'
