Corrupt as fuck. permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 33 points 2 months ago (1 child) Oh, absolutely. This is a classic real estate development kickback scheme, which is Trump's Bread & Butter. Why do you think he went on such a tear, renovating the pool, the ballroom, the Kennedy Center, the Arch, etc.? It allows him to hand pick his contractor, so he can choose a guy whom he knows will play ball. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] whoisearth@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 months ago Construction is such a shady industry it's really quite amazing. I assume it's global and not just North America. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Joelk111@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago Yeah, the dog murderer obviously and blarantly did that with that stupid ad depicting her on a horse. Some More News' recent episode on maga morons seeing a sliver of concequences was kinda satisfying - seeing a serious person confront Kristi about where the fuck the money went was chefs kiss. The DOGE guys were also hilarious in such a terrible way. It isn't often a Some More News episode is so positive, it was kinda nice for a change. permalink fedilink source parent
