If Trump is charging $5,000,000 for business people to meet with him, that is flat out wrong.

The problem is we don't know anything in that regard. We have one site "Wired" reporting it and claiming they have sources. I saw a couple fringe sites pick it up and report it as "news" based upon Wired's report. If it had a lot of legs, I would think lots of other "news agencies" would've picked it up.

Would it surprise me? No, probably not. But to state it as fact is far from the truth at this point.

Politicians have always had astronomical speaking fees, often times at “private” events that never happen. Bidens ROI on these speaking events wouldn’t be worth it for anyone.

Do those speaking events happen during their presidency? Genuinely asking.

I think we can all agree money needs to be separated from politics and that both parties are completely out of control in this regard.

The Trump thing, if true, is just another example of Trump being given an inch by past precedent and taking 12 miles because he knows he’s impervious to being held accountable.

Jimmy Carter sold his families peanut farm because he wanted to avoid any appearance of impropriety. Now we have a President, allegedly, taking straight up cash bribes.

All those years and years of struggling as a starving artist to master his craft finally paid off. He's the Rembrandt of our generation.

I don't find it very interesting that a former US attorney died a couple months after leaving the job. There is a ton of them

Do you find It normal for Biden staffer's, at an age of 28 years old and 43 years old, to die within 2 months of each other? Seems off.



You can't tell me, the sudden death of a healthy woman Isn't interesting, to say the least.



Just look at the 2 standing behind her. She knew of more secrets than the Bush administration.

Calling a US attorney a Biden staffer is a nonstarter.

She was a Biden appointee.
Staffer. You're gonna hang the conversation up over a word. My apologies professor.
She left her appointment when Biden left. That's what makes this interesting.

U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia​

Nominated by President Biden in August 2021, Jessica Aber was confirmed by the Senate on October 5, 2021, and sworn in on October 12, 2021.
If you get appointed, and leave when the president that appoints you leaves, some of us call them staff. They are working directly under one administration.

Cambridge Dictionary.
Staffer- an employee who works for an organization, especially in politics or the media.

Words have denotations and connotations. Yes, the denotation of the word staffer means that she was a “staffer” but in the same way I was a Biden “staffer”. The connotation of the word staffer implies somebody who works behind the scenes doing somewhat busywork work for the administration, planning meetings, getting coffee, working on talking points, drafting internal memos, etc. A US attorney prosecuting cases is never referred to as a “staffer”. It’s just a completely different thing in all common parlance

Ok. 2 Biden appointee's died, (without cause) within 2 months of each other. They worked directly, and only for the Biden administration.
I feel better now. it was like a flu coming over my body, while that word was misinterpreted.
I do understand your explanation.

Calling someone a Biden staffer who is a US attorney is retarded. I can't say it in less plain terms.
