I'd like to see Pee-wee Herman reprising an Al Pacino's character.

As you want to make hay from the misuse of Presidential access to secure personal and professional deals for the off-spring of Office holders, where exactly do you stand on this little gem of corruption?

https://www.scmp.com/news/world/united- ... ademarks-3

She secured those deals just a few days before she (working as an Official White-House Advisor) and her father arrived for major trade deal talks!
Or Donald Trump Knr, another official White-House Advisor using his position to secure $50,000 a night speaking Engagements at University Campuses (as much as Hunter earned in 6 months on the board of Burisa)! He was there spruiking his father's claims regarding low unemployment and the dangers of immigrants! This Party political electioneering puff piece was paid for with student Union funds!
Just Peachy!
https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/do ... a-n1081186

One of her Trade Marks was for a Trump-branded Electronic Voting Machine

With your intimate inside knowledge, I think you will agree that this will be a big seller in Ukraine!

I swear You can't make this stuff up!!!!
:
Those Trump-branded voting machines indicate Stui Magpie maybe right about her plans to run for President in 2024

I'm surprised no one has blamed Climate Change for Trump yet.
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

They've used every 1/2 baked Conspiracy theory to try and smear EVERYONE that's giving evidence so I'm sure it won't be too long before the Repugnant Party starts blaming climate change for Trumps pending impeachment!

I agree with all of that except equating Trump handing his business to his children, that has nothing to do with politics, it's his business that he built and can do what he wants with. Might seem like a quibble, but the author was obviously trying to smear Trump with the Bush/Clinton/Biden brush. If anything political office has COST the Trumps a shitload of money, unlike the others.

I think that's a somewhat rose-coloured description of what's going on there. And the core problem is exactly what's described in the article: people are using deals with his kids in order to get in the good books of the president and increase their standing. Whether that actually works is debatable, but what's undoubtable is that it happens all the time and that Ivanka et al. are personally benefiting from it. So it's just more of the same nepotism, rent-seeking and back-room deals that have greased the wheels of global capital forever.
