Nepotism LOL

Magaturds had a problem with a "Clinton Dynasty", but apparently love the idea of a tRump dynasty.

The video above (by the Gregory Brothers) makes fun of how many people who spoke at the "DNC" were related to Dotard. Or dating an offspring of Dotard. And how many times these people uttered the phrase "my father" or "my father-in-law". Apparently Dotard thought his supporters would be really into a nepotism-heavy "RNC".

Nepotism is nothing new, but Trump's is unique.

While many aspects of Donald Trump's presidency undermine the sanctity of the office, nepotism is nothing new in American politics. From the country's earliest years to modern day, presidents have involved family members in their campaigns and administrations. But just because it was commonplace doesn't imply that it was widely accepted, then or now. In 1967, the Federal Anti-Nepotism Statute was introduced to stifle the practice. While the statue has been referenced, especially recently, the important distinction to note between the past and present is that Trump's nepotism is made unique by his family being utterly unqualified for the positions they hold.

Trump follows the nepotism of dictators.

It's common for dictators to place their family in high-ranking government positions. Unfortunately, Donald Trump has taken another page from the dictator's handbook: appointing his inexperienced, unqualified daughter Ivanka and son-in-law Jared Kushner as top White House advisers.

At least when John F. Kennedy appointed his brother Robert Attorney General, we got a highly qualified and competent AG. As opposed to the Dotard family members in advisory roles. Their primary purpose (in being in those positions) is to steal as much taxpayer money as they can.

The shouty Kimberly Guilfoyle says "the best is yet to come". Maybe she means she'll get a salary bump if Dotard is "reelected" and go from "earning" 180k for being Dotard Jr's girlfriend to millions. Closer to what Jared and Ivana Jr are making would mean she could potentially "earn" many times more than her current salary (for what, banging Dotard Jr?).

Do you think Democrats would have been enthused if Hunter Biden had spoke at the DNC? btw, poor Tiffany tRump. Does anyone believe she's going to have trouble finding a job? As per Tiffany, "as a recent graduate, I can relate to so many of you who might be looking for a job". LOL.

NRA LOL

Again (as with Steve Bannon's "we build the wall" scam) the joke is on YOU, republican Dotard supporters! Wayne was living large on the dime of dupes who sent the NRA money.


Maybe we can get rid of this Russia-colluding, corrupt, domestic terror organization and pass real gun reform? Signed by President Biden after being passed though a Democratically-controlled Congress (House and Senate)?

Dotard's Deutsche Bank Loans Secured By Russian Bank, VTB. Why Illegitimate potus Is In Putin's Pocket

The following is excperted from the 2/17/2020 Rawstory article, Maddow breaks down potential "direct financial connection" between the Russian government and Donald Trump.

MSNBC anchor Rachel Maddow ... interviewed David Enrich, finance editor at The New York Times, about his forthcoming book Dark Towers: Deutsche Bank, Donald Trump, and an Epic Trail of Destruction.

The host of "The Rachel Maddow Show" read excerpts from the book.

"There was no doubt that Deutsche Bank had extensive business dealings with Russia, and those dealings included acting as a conduit for dirty money to get out of Russia and into the western financial system".

"Deutsche, of course, was the only reliable connection that Trump, his family, and his company had to the mainstream banking world. And Eric Trump had blurted that Russians financed the family's golf projects — even though it was Deutsche who had made the Doral loans. Perhaps this was more than a coincidence. Maybe Deutsche was what connected Trump to Russia. The rumor that had been ricocheting around Washington, New York and London was that VTB had in the recent past funneled dirty money to Trump via Deutsche".

Below is a video of the 2/17/2020 interview via YouTube.

Pot Versus Kettle

Regarding the phrase pot calling the kettle black, it usually refers to "a situation in which somebody comments on or accuses someone else of a fault which the accuser shares". However, as noted by Wikipedia, "in a second, subtler interpretation, the pot is sooty (being placed on a fire), while the kettle is clean and shiny (being placed on coals only), and hence when the pot accuses the kettle of being black, it is the pot's own sooty reflection that it sees: the pot accuses the kettle of a fault that only the pot has".

Welcome to the party of hypocrisy... the republican party. Remember when the republicans obstructed under Obama? The Democratic party has never obstructed simply to win an election like the republicans did (voting AGAINST legislation they previously supported)!

But they are not just obstructionists, they are terrorists. The following FAILURES being proof of who they really are. The republican party under tRump is One BIG LIE that is failing America. Sadly, their $$$ supporters and voters DO NOT EVEN REALIZE IT! OR, are they just as DISHONEST, supporting CORRUPTION?

FAILED to play by the rules, instead resorting to voter suppression (spearheaded by GOP operative Kris Kobach) and collusion with Russia! Collusion they attempt to paint as a "hoax" and a "witch hunt" instead of supporting the republican Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian meddling - which would clear tRump were he innocent (tRump's opposition to the investigation clearly points to his guilt).

FAILED to secure America against the Russian interference. As per former VP Biden "he and President Barack Obama decided not to speak out publicly on Russian interference during the 2016 campaign after Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell refused to sign a bipartisan statement condemning the Kremlin's role".

FAILED inner-cites while attempting to blame Democratic mayors when "31 states have Republican governors, many of which have sizeable black populations [and] 23 states are designated Republican trifectas, meaning the GOP controls the governorships and both houses of the legislature... It is intellectually dishonest to imply that state and federal policies do not play an outsize role in the condition of urban black communities... GOP governors and legislatures have enacted massive budget cuts in education, healthcare and other services while slashing taxes for wealthy residents and corporations, with demonstrably bad consequences for their citizens".

FAILED at protecting Americans from racist violence and hate. As per the FBI, "hate crimes rose the day after Trump was elected". No surprise given the fact that tRump has stoked fear and hate beginning with his campaign and continuing into his presidency.

FAILED to stand up for the freedom of the press as guaranteed by the first amendment by falsely stating that reporters are the "enemy of the people" and actually covering up the murder of Jamal Khashoggi with a laughably phony story about "rogue killers". An action that sent a clear signal to all the world's repressive regimes that it's open season on journalists.

FAILED at furthering America's economic progress by obstructing economic growth essentials like saving for downturns by increasing taxes on the wealthy and businesses that can afford it. Instead inflating a bubble that will pop, ensuring that the US will lack fiscal space to respond when next recession arrives.

FAILED in economic development promises - what happened to the 1.5 trillion in infrastructure spending that tRump promised during the campaign? Democrats, providing tRump discarded his idiotic plan to fund construction by getting the money from states and private entities, would have supported investing in our failing infrastructure.

FAILED our education system and our children via privatization. No matter that the privatization of public education is a failure... "the goal of the majority of charter schools and the politicians that support them isn't to improve student achievement. It is to siphon taxpayer money out of public schools and into the hands of wealthy donors". Explaining why a woman with no experience got the job.

I could go on and on regarding the failures of the tRump administration and the GOP congress, but I have addressed all the supposed Democratic failures. Or instances of the pots calling the kettles black as laid out by Lisa in her (cut and pasted?) post "Pot Meet Kettle" on her tRump-supporting blog, Who's Your Daddy. Let us pray, for the sake of the nation, the kettles are victorious in the midterms.
