A few days ago I posted about how the Air Force is getting ready to buy a lot of drones, some from a company Don Jr and Eric invest in. This morning I see another story about this and it names several drone companies and how much their stock has gone up since the reports about the government planning to invest in this stuff. Amazing how the trump crime family operates in plain sight.
It is hardly a secret that the use of drones for military use is a priority. Nothing wrong with investing in those companies.
Father, who is president of the US, calls sons up and says ""boys, if I were you, I'd really think about putting money into some of these new companies that will be making drones for the military." Boys say "ok, thanks, dad." Boys invest in several of the companies and a few months later those companies are set to receive multi million dollar government contracts.
Neoplacebo rolls dice in order to decide what to put money into; dice come up with drone companies as a good bet. As luck would have it, a few months after neoplacebo invests six figures into those companies their stock goes up by over a third.
One of those two scenarios is one where there is nothing wrong. One of them illustrates how and why it is wrong. I know which is which. You don't. There is something wrong with that.

“The Great American State Fair” shows on Washington’s National Mall That's just dumb. Should be "States' Fair”.
Everything devolves into pure tackiness with this administration. Its hilarious that our big 250 celebration is going to be so shitty that many want absolutely no part in it whatsoever. Add me to the list.

It's a fundamental principle that family members should NEVER be profiting from the actions of a POTUS. Period. This is yet another example where a Cult member looks at absolute SLEAZE and approves.

Yeah, what really gets me is how they're doing this stuff in the open. I keep wondering how Republicans would act if Obama had done HALF the stuff trump has done.....lie for years about a stolen or rigged election, engage associates to submit fake state presidential electoral certificates, incited a mob of supporters to try and stop the certification of an election, pardoning every one of the mob who participated in the attempted overthrow of the government.....and all the rest of it. The only think I can think of that Obama did that Republicans whined about was hiim wearing a tan suit and putting his feet up on the edge of his desk. Oh, and giving Iran their money back that we'd had for decades.

Based on how the GOP let Pelosi's "inside trade" situation slide they would do little.

... "I'm not into politics, so you hear it first. Here, I'm not attending the June 26 celebration," the Girl You Know It's True hit maker added.
Viewers were quick to weigh in on social media, with one X user blasting, "Lmao….imagine not even being able to book the one guy still alive that lip synced for Milli Vanilli."
A second person penned, "When you have to trick musicians into performing a concert by lying, it tells you everything you need to know about this administration."
With a third viewer chiming in, "This "concert" is going to make history as an epic failure," prompting a someone else to add, "He said the main word … “Circus” which pretty much represents the Trump administration. So I believe him completely."
2 questions:
Did he lip sync the interview?
Is he Milli or Vanilli?

Angry, drunk or both?
Fyre Festival 2.0 - Vanilla Ice, a military band and rambling Dementia Don, that's it. Opps.

She's sick enough, remember her daddy was chummy with Epstein.
But, The Mirror?
Yeah, The Mirror is a shaky tabloid, but they hate MAGA, cover some interesting topics like this one, and I'm trapped in their algorithm . Expect a few more.
