The sad thing is that they probably got that cash without much in the way of tech transfer or any immediate national security concerns. Just influence and an ear. It's been demonstrated time and time again (even from our own FBI in sting operations) that politicians are bought for just tens of thousands of dollars.

OS and others aren't worried about that kind of influence, or politicians stuffing American and overseas money in their pockets unless it has clear and present national security concern. They were against that kind of thing when it mattered.

D's and R's. That's aalllll that matters......

We'll find out all the cr*p Trump did in the coming decades as the books roll out. And OS will have boatload of excuses as to why it's all sooper-cool.

He's not running for President. KY residents are the only ones voting for him.

Bingo ! That's one critical distinction I'm pointing out. Just influence and an ear. Except Trump was not in govt service yet. It's been demonstrated time and time again (even from our own FBI in sting operations) that politicians are bought for just tens of thousands of dollars.

OS and others aren't worried about that kind of influence, or politicians stuffing American and overseas money in their pockets unless it has clear and present national security concern. They were against that kind of thing when it mattered. I'm worried about dual use tech transfer because it undermines our military advantage & puts our forces at greater risk, sooner.

And all the money he got when he was running, and then in position to be elected, and then when he was POTUS.

The money did not stop once he entered govt service. And that term is laughable. You think he's serving the people? You're smarter than that.

US President Donald Trump has a Chinese bank account and spent years pursuing business projects in the country, the New York Times has reported.

The account is controlled by Trump International Hotels Management and paid local taxes between 2013 and 2015.

It was set up "to explore the potential for hotel deals in Asia", according to a Trump spokesman.

The NY Times revealed the account after obtaining Mr Trump's tax records, which included both personal and company financial details.

The Chinese bank account has paid out $188,561 in local taxes.

Alan Garten, a lawyer for the Trump Organisation, described the NY Times story as "pure speculation" and said that it made "incorrect assumptions".

He told the paper that Trump International Hotels Management had "opened an account with a Chinese bank having offices in the United States in order to pay the local taxes".

"No deals, transactions or other business activities ever materialised and, since 2015, the office has remained inactive," Mr Garten said.

"Though the bank account remains open, it has never been used for any other purpose," he told the NY Times.

The US president has multiple business interests both in the US and overseas. These include golf courses in Scotland and Ireland and a chain of five-star luxury hotels.

The NY Times reported that Mr Trump maintains foreign bank accounts in China, Britain and Ireland.

And yet you're not worried about a president "legally" declassifying information to our enemies with no one else present to prevent him from doing so, or checking his info, or letting our military know what the "President" actually said in meetings with some of our biggest enemies.

Because that doesn't undermine our military advantage, and doesn't put our forces at greater risk.

You talk yourself in circles to defend the administration. You're better than this, and you don't have to die on this hill. Plenty of people got sucked into the Trump 2016 bandwagon. My Colonel of a father included. I don't blame anyone for supporting him once who didn't know any better or wanted to gamble on someone different. But we need to come together as a nation now, and reject the demagoguery of Trump. Please, please join the right side of history. Biden isn't perfect, but he's miles better than Trump and his family.

I've said it before. If elected, he doesn't last a full year. Contingent upon if the DNC can get Kamela up to speed.

Strange, strange, strange to put so much time, effort, and emotional energy into something that doesn't even differentiate the two candidates at the end of the day.

It does matter if you realize voting is not a binary choice.
If you want both parties to keep putting up shltty candidates, keep voting for shltty candidates.

That's not what they're doing. It's worse than that.....

TrumpNation has been telling us that Trump's corruption is just no big deal. Every action of Trump's comes with an excuse as to why it's fine.

So what they're saying here is: Trump is clean, nothing to see here. But Biden? Not only is every single invented allegation about Biden inherently true? It's corruption on a scale that's never been seen before! (cue ominous music)

It's hilarious. This is where our nation is. We had posters here who insisted that Trump's call to the Ukrainian President was just another day at work. Using the power of the Presidency to attack his enemies? Meh. Who cares?

And then the come on here, whining about Hunter Biden. It's hilarious, and they deserve to be mocked for trying to sell this nonsense, and trying to act like it's a coincidence that they're Republicans.

I hope Biden wins, and takes up a no show job at Lockheed Martin, with an office in Bejing, wire monthly wire transfers to Hunter in the Billions that Hunter posts on Instagram. These Trump enablers will have earned it.

So what? That's not illegal!

Sure would have liked this advice from you back when your party nominated Trump.

Or at any point during Trump's reign. But sure, lecture us about Biden....all while you support Trump. Yep, Biden sucks.....and they're gonna wave all his behavior through if he gets elected, just like you did with Trump.
