The Real Looters

This post concerns the looters. I'm not talking about people smashing windows and grabbing all they can from businessses during the nighttime. Following daytime peacefull Black Lives Matter protests. What I'm talking about concerns considerably larger sums of money.

Businesses connected to Trump advisor Jared Kushner and his family received millions in paycheck protection loans. Business Insider article by Graham Rapier. 7/7/2020. (Excerpt).

Observer Holdings, the publishing company owned by Kushner's brother in law which publishes what remains of the former New York Observer newspaper, received between $350,000 and $1 million to protect 41 jobs, records show.

Princeton Forrestal LLC, controlled by several Kushner's related to the White House confidant, received between $1 million and $2 million, and Esplanade Livingston, which owns the land housing the family's Westminster Hotel, also received $350,000 to $1 million.

Of course massive corruption like this is just fine according to trumper Minus FJ. Because once you attain a postion of authority, the rules no longer apply.

Joe Conservative (Minus FJ Sockpuppet): Law requires an authoritarian police state. For it is law which creates/establishes the "authorities". When I was at the Academy I learned that the laws (Regulations) are meaningless, that the "Authorities" can do as they please. It's not an easy lesson to accept, but it's one that anyone who is smart, will learn. The heart of authority is derived from Force, either it's current execution or memory of its' application in the past. (7/3/2020 at 6:17am).

Reading this comment my conclusion is that Minus admires Dotard for his lawlessness and corruption. That the Dotard crime family has been able to loot large sums of money from the government is nothing to criticize them for. It proves he is smart. Not that Minus admires crooked Democrats who steal and get away with it. Dotard is also doing things that Minus approves of.

Democrats don't want to punish the poor and middle class by cutting the social safety net. Nor do they wish to reward the rich by cutting their taxes. Democrats also don't seek to suppress the votes of minorities, thereby preserving White privliege and the patriarchy.

More importantly Dotard is promoting White Supremacism and looking out firstly for the White race. Things Minus likes very much. Although he denies it. But the public isn't buying it. The bottom line here is that Dotard is a special case, being the Alt-right's anti-globalism, anti-cultural Marxism champion. Thus making his profiting from the presidency very well earned.

btw, I heard that Kanye West, Grover Norquist, and The Ayn Rand Institute (in addition to other conservatives and conservative groups) were rewarded for their loyalty. "Proof" that, as Minus says, "Reward Friends, Punish Enemies" is the motto of the Democratic Party.

FYI, PPP loans do not have to be paid back "if all employees are kept on the payroll for eight weeks and the money is used for payroll, rent, mortgage interest, or utilities". Something that some companies whose profits have been affected by the coronavirus pandemic might have done (laid off employees).

How many people do you think the Ayn Rand Institute was planning on firing before the Dotard administration threw it a lifeline? Zero, maybe? I think they are getting paid to keep people on the payroll they had no intention of letting go in the first place. And I would bet that is the case with most (if not all) of the Dotard friends who were rewarded (with taxpayer money).

What "Too Much Winning" Looks Like (And, YES, I Can't Take It Anymore)

Remember when Prediset Dotard promised us that we'd be winning so much that we'd get sick of it under his administration?

The graph at the top of his post illustrates what "too much winning" looks like. The United States is number 1 in coronavirus infections. Way to go, Dotard!

Acutally this much "winning" sucks. And (as Dotard predicted) I am sick of it. Hillary Clinton wouldn't have ignored the threat posed by the coronavirus for 3 months.

This wouldn't have happened if Hillary Clinton had won. Opinion by Max Boot. 3/21/2020. (Excerpt).

The coronavirus is the most foreseeable disaster in history — and so is President Trump's inability to rise to the occasion. There were scattered warnings before Pearl Harbor and 9/11 of what was to come. But nothing like this. ...throughout January and February, the U.S. intelligence community was warning Trump that the pandemic was going to hit America. "The system was blinking red", one official said.

But Trump wasn't paying attention. "It will all work out well", he blithely tweeted on Jan 24 while credulously thanking Chinese President Xi Jinping for "working very hard to contain the Coronavirus". (A British study suggests China could have eliminated 95 percent of its cases if it had acted three weeks earlier, when a doctor first called attention to the epidemic in Wuhan).

I weep in anger and frustration imagining what might have been if Hillary Clinton — a sane, sensible adult — had won. We couldn't have avoided the coronavirus, but we could have ameliorated its effects. It was precisely because we were afraid of how Trump would mishandle his weighty responsibilities that some "Never Trump" conservatives supported Clinton in 2016.

On May 8, 2016, I wrote in the Los Angeles Times: "There has never been a major party nominee in U.S. history as unqualified for the presidency. The risk of Trump winning, however remote, represents the biggest national security threat that the United States faces today".

There were many reasons Trump won. Ironically, one of the most oft-cited was the desire to blow everything up, because Trump voters were convinced that things couldn't get any worse than they were in 2016. As they shelter in their homes and the economy grinds to a halt, I wonder if perhaps they now realize how good they had it under President Barack Obama?

For the past three years, Trump supporters have scoffed at critics, claiming we are out-of-touch, pointy-headed, coastal elitists too focused on Trump's unconventional way of speaking while ignoring his historic policy achievements — meaning an expanding economy that he inherited from Obama. Perhaps they would like to rethink that argument now that the stock market has given up all of the gains it made under Trump and the unemployment numbers are heading for Great Depression levels?

Clearly the real problem is too much losing. But we were warned. Now the "brillian businessman" who bankrupted multiple casinos is bankrupting America. And continuing to do nothing as the death toll rises. The only thing "great" about the Dotard presidency is the cost. If only Hillary were president...
