Least corrupt president in US history.

They’re going to be light years ahead of us at making pregnant Sonic images.

This genuinely made me do an IRL spit take, holy shit.

How is this not massive news?

Faux News had to jump through 100 hoops and do all sorts of gymnastics to connect Biden to some Ukraine business to claim he was corrupt and every fucking Magoo knows the Hunter Biden laptop... Trump just straight up says "PAY MY RESORT $1 MILLION" and then changes policy in your favor and that's not corrupt?

Nothing like going to mar a lago and eating a 1 million dollar dinner. We need laws against this type of corruption

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 month ago

The only people capable of applying such laws are the very same corrupt people you want to have subject to such laws.

TL;DR Bully got Bribed.

Pay to play. Trump is full blown criminal now. This is only going to get worse unless something stops it.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 month ago

Now? He's been since the 80's

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

We just need a big ol name tag thing... "The golf of Trump" or Trump city USA man!

The US is a dirty little whore.

$1 million-a-head dinner

I can't even imagine what that would look like. Surely the ingredients can't be that expensive? And while cooks and staff probably are paid very well, are they gonna spend so much time on a single dinner to warrant that price?

[–] [email protected] 46 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

The actual food and service is probably only maybe a couple hundred to a couple thousand/plate

The rest of the price is the "donation". The tactic itself is not bad, many charities and fundraisers do the same thing, charge a hundred or 2 (if it's an event for us pleebs) per person for food and the event and the rest is your donation.

What the donation is for is the problem here

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago

Absolutely not, we're talking about a man who serves fast food to athletes.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

I’m betting it’s more like a fundraising dinner — you’re not paying that price just because of the food

Salt Bae was the chef

So do you think there will be any consequences for these businesses just outright buying US policy after Trump?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago

Yes, there will be consequences. Things will get better for those businesses!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

How could there be?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 month ago

I bet it was the jacket that sealed the deal

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

How can people support such corruption…

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago

nvidia hydroponic tech grows chips 20% faster, bigger, and juicier

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

High-end chips? I'm guessing TSMC in Taiwan.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

I think some of the memory chips might come from SK or Japan, not sure tho

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

Hell.

Wait they renamed that place.

Earth, I think.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

Oh wow, what are the odds?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

That's a good investment Jensen.

banning exports and then waging war over them not importing enough and then unbanning the exports and then saying thanks and then posting something edgy on social media

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Imagine not being aware how pathetic you look when someone bribes you. What's that dinner like? Rich people always worry about their status. Who's more important, who has the most money? Trump sitting down to dicuss this for a million dollars. A million dollars is so cheap to them. They must be laughing on the way home at how easy it is to manipulate him.
