A Deeper dive into Mamdani grocery stores...

[QP!]

lol. I realize that. He'll get rich from people "buying his book" when he decides to write it. It doesn't change that the people who do best after socialism is implemented are the people who "lead" it... because some people are "more equal" than others.

(quote marks here are indications of sarcasm)...

Why do you think you, as a non partisan libertarian, are so concerned with Mamdani and his wife getting rich from 'book sales', which seems ultimately capitalistic to me, while at the same time you cried about 'potential influence on Biden from those buying Hunters art' and yet you seem to not care one iota about the MASSIVE Trump family self dealing?

AI Summary:
The Trump family, including Jared Kushner, has expanded into various industries where their business interests coincide with significant government influence. Below is a chart detailing major business ventures and the associated benefits or potential conflicts cited by watchdogs and official reports.
Trump & Kushner Business & Influence Chart

Business Entity	Key Family Member(s)	Primary Industry	Government-Related Benefit / Conflict of Interest
Affinity Partners	Jared Kushner	Private Equity	Secured $2 billion from Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF) and $1.5 billion from Qatari and UAE funds shortly after leaving the White House.
Truth Social (TMTG)	Donald Trump	Social Media / Tech	As a publicly traded company, it allows foreign interests or lobbyists to potentially influence Trump by purchasing stock or advertising.
World Liberty Financial	Trump Family (Eric, Don Jr.)	Cryptocurrency	A crypto platform promoted by the family; concerns exist that federal policy shifts in crypto could directly boost its value.
Mar-a-Lago & Clubs	Donald Trump	Hospitality / Real Estate	Initiation fees rose from $100,000 to $1 million after his political rise. Foreign officials and lobbyists often book stays to "curry favor".
Dar Global Partnerships	Trump Organization	Luxury Real Estate	New deals for Trump-branded towers and resorts in Saudi Arabia, Oman, and Qatar involve state-affiliated entities.
Belgrade Hotel Project	Jared Kushner / Trump Org	Real Estate	A luxury development in Serbia on the site of the former Yugoslav Defense Ministry; struck days before Trump’s second inauguration.
Ivanka Trump Trademarks	Ivanka Trump	Retail / Fashion	While serving as an advisor, she received dozens of foreign trademarks (notably from China), raising concerns about favorable treatment by foreign governments.
Personal Bond Portfolio	Donald Trump	Finance	Trump purchased nearly 700 bonds in 2025, including municipal and bank bonds (e.g., Morgan Stanley, Citigroup), while his administration oversees the Fed and federal funding.

Summary of Proposed Benefits

• Foreign Investment Capital: Jared Kushner’s Affinity Partners manages over $6 billion, 99% of which is from foreign sources. He collects an estimated $25 million annually in management fees regardless of the fund's profit performance.
• Direct Access Revenue: Ethics groups like CREW have tracked thousands of conflicts where taxpayer funds or foreign government spending (at hotels and resorts) flowed directly into Trump’s private businesses.
• Policy-Driven Valuation: Critics argue that new ventures in crypto and social media allow for "opaque" influence-buying, as these businesses' values are highly sensitive to administrative rhetoric and regulatory decisions.

Question: Where's Ilhan Omar's winery on that list...?

some are missing from this list.

Question: Where's Ilhan Omar's winery on that list...?

Never looked in to it so why do you not tell me what the connection is to government and how it may have benefitted from her role in Congress to make her and her husband profit, since that is what we are talking about?

Sorry dude but i am not familiar with whatever the allegations are against Omar.

Not sure why you seem to be suggesting i need to be or i am not getting your sarcasm but then you guys are stupid, so there is that.

I'm not making any allegations here you retard. I'm making a snide and sarcastic joke about the list in general by asking if an, almost certainly, fraudulent business owned in part by a Congress critter was included on it. You simply don't get sarcasm, not that I expected you to.

hey stupid.

If you have never heard about some case in Germany and i cite it you will have no chance to catch if it was said as sarcasm or not.

That you think i should be able to say 'hey that is sarcasm ' when i have no familiarity with whatever you are citing just shows you have no clue what sarcasm is and how it is used. No one, and i mean NO ONE can see sarcasm in a case they do not know anything about.

It appeared to me, in the only way it could, as someone with no familiarity in the topic that you were saying 'they were profiting in a personal business from her gov't connection as well' which with ANY politician would not shock me, but when you say it i want proof as you lie or spin so often.

I even added the emoji to emphasize that it was sarcasm. You simply don't get sarcasm. You never have and likely never will.

Says the guy who does not understand sarcasm and never will.

IF i make a comment about person ABC and say they did something in sarcasm and you have no clue what i am referring to or talking about you will have no way, NONE, to determine if the person meant it as sarcasm or serious. The emoji means nothing as it could be a 'gotcha' type emojie placement.

So you keep repeating this stupid thing as you are a stupid person who has never understand sarcasm, or how it works and never will.

That you think you can walk up to strangers and bring up topics they no nothing about and they should know when you are being sarcastic or not highlights how stupid you are.

that you guys thought Hunter Biden selling paintings was a serious thing but do not even comment about all the Trump family grift is embarrassing

See me using the same emoji above Terry. I am using it to mock you and not say my post is sarcasm.

You truly have no clue about sarcasm or emoji if your entire claim is 'but i place that emoji' as the reason i should know you intended sarcasm on a topic i have no background on.

I was calling Hunter, and still do, "Bagman." He was Bagman and the Joke (his senile moron of a father), a play on a Batman theme. I was sarcastic about him then, and am now.

And , no you aren't mocking me because you don't get sarcasm. You just don't. I get that. I can live with it. You just don't do sarcasm.

Does not matter if you meant your Hunter comment with sarcasm, as i did not mean MY COMMENT above with sarcasm and if you understood sarcasm you would be able to see that.

So yet again you prove you cannot discern a sarcastic comment or not as MY COMMENT was not sarcasm and yet i used that emoji.

And yes i am mocking you as you are stupid and clearly have no clue about sarcasm or what you are talking about generally, You try but simply do not understand it.

You claimed you were mocking my comments. I pointed out you don't do sarcasm, again. You don't do, and don't get, sarcasm.

I was mocking your comments. I was not using the sarcasm emoji to counter that mocking. I was using it to laugh at you as i mocked you.

You again don't do sarcasm so you do not understand one can do that. you think an emoji automatically means sarcasm, when it does not.

So again i laugh at you and tell you to stop talking about sarcasm as you clearly do not do it nor understand it.

The commie BLM leaders got rich off of Democrats and promoting violence and hate crimes. The Cadre always live much better than the lowly proles in the quasi-socialist regimes.
