The Never-ending Grift

$2B compared to just USAID is chump change.

You want grift? Check that agency out.

Sorry Jolly, we’re not changing the subject. It is objectively gross the way he repeatedly fleeces his sheep and at some level you must see through it.

I just hope you haven’t bought into any of his grifts yourself.

You changed the subject way back in the thread, since the thread was about the Biden Crime Family.

All pardoned now, btw.

LOL you can thank Trump for those pardons. Wouldn't have happened otherwise. I guess J6 folks who beat up cops can also thank Trump for the pardons, too. MAPA!

[jon-nyc]

My personal view is he would have pardoned Hunter in any case. And his brother was in fact under investigation by his own DoJ (imagine that happening to a Trump family member under Bondi - lol). So maybe that one too.

Biden pardoned the Biden crime family, not Trump.

[89th]

Do you think Biden would've done those last minute pardons had it been McCain or Romney or someone else about to be sworn in?

[Jolly]

It's not all about Trump 24/7, you know.

[jon-nyc]

Again, I think he would have pardoned his son and maybe his brother. The other preemptive ones? No.

Those double standards are a little bit blatant. Trump did not introduce the concept of politically motivated prosecutions. In general, when someone tells you what they're terrified their enemy will do to them, that's what they'll do to their enemy, if given a chance. In this case, it's what the left already did to Trump that they're afraid of.

[Jolly]

Maybe the ultimate grift...

Now TownHall is a paywall.

Kind of ironic, considering the thread title.

[Mik]

So I thought.

[jon-nyc]

A multi-million dollar English-language ad campaign featuring herself. Who’s the target audience again?

[Jolly]

Illegal aliens.

[jon-nyc]

Nope. It’s you.

[Jolly]

Partially. OTOH, border crossings are down to three digits and I think one day in the last week were down to two digits. Compared to the Biden numbers, that is stellar. Absolutely stellar. So the Administration is bragging a bit. They've got something to brag about.

It's a messaging campaign. The message being hammered home, time and time again, is that unless you do it the right way, you're going back to where you came from. And the message is also directed at those sanctuary cities that would try to impede ICE from doing their job.

[jon-nyc]

Let’s see how much of the media buy is on Fox News vs telemundo.

[Mik]

That was her announcement. I suspect there will be plenty of ads in Spanish and targeted on the effective broadcasters.
