     "Of course that is your position, like Uni to defect and blame the other party or someone else when challenged on the ISSUE not the party. I dont care what party the one is or the other, I am not discussing party rather principal/issue. So you and Uni are you either in support of politicians profiting off their position or are you not?"

    Was going to avoid this altogether but I need to comment on this statement. Let me be condescending too and say; I will make it simple for you.

    The only deflection in this thread was bringing up Trump, golfing, and the Bush clan. 

    Politicans have been profiting off their position since the dawn of time. sleep2 Most profit legally, others like Robert Menendez face consequences for their actions by HOW they profited. 

    Biden flying his son around the world on AF1 to conduct "business" where there is no question no tangable product/service was provided is called influence peddling. Hunter was not registered as an agent of a foreign enity, a FARA violation. The same law the Left has used to jail republicans. Biden saying he knew nothing of his son's business is a joke. Call was made from Joe's house demanding millions or Joe would be mad. 

    IT IS NOT WHETHER I SUPPORT POLITICIANS PROFITING, IT IS HOW THEY PROFIT AND DO IT WITHIN THE LAW. AND WHEN THEY OUTRIGHT LIE ABOUT IT.

    And when they walk away scot free even though many others with lessor violations are behind bars, yeah I'm going to gripe.

    @UNIMAN

     Ok so you both want to stipulate based on how the gains were made that since Trump profited out in the open it is different than Biden's kid who did so behind the scenes. That MIGHT hold some validity if we are talking only Trump vs Biden but that is not the measure at all and I ask the question again...are you FOR or against politicians profiting off their political position? I didnt ask if you agree with public profiting or private profiting rather the financial gain from being in a political position?

    To address your deflection regarding being in the open vs not, how do you categorize Bush and Bush lite and how they profited? I would compare Bush and Biden as to the lack of transparency into the way their family profited and the fact that the general public had no idea. Now if you want to stipulate AGAIN that since Biden's kid is a louse and is pretty scuzzy well I might say that Trump's kids are louses especially Donnie, I would compare Donnie and Hunter in many aspects and that both are slimy individuals but the stipulation that one method to financially gain is less an issue than another is just flat out deflection and partisan gargling. You cant point at Biden and then not do the same for Bush, they are very very similar and in some ways I guess if I am picking between gaining from Ukrainian businesses and the Saudis I would pick Ukraine.

    In summary for me I am against political profiting and using the government then having your hand IN the government such as Trump, Biden, Bush, Musk, swami and any individual, I am not seeking to deflect away from the underlying core concept that there is no right way of profiting from being in or around public office and all/any who do so should be held to the same standard, not that due to some tangent concept one is immune and the other is not.

    I still say the most evil disgusting politician (and family) is the Bush clan, and it is not even remotely close.

    @scooby-doos

     What is right and what is wrong, use big sentences and make them not partisan...bring something more than some side chirping and talk about the concept instead of the boring pot shots you always make.

    @unplucked_gem

     You try way too hard to soil someone when they disagree with you, my "silent" is always due to the lack of content...you more than most anyone lately like to toss in the insults and then say that your insults and flabby digs are valid because they are not retorted...when in reality your scheme lacks substance and even in your reply did you say ANYTHING of substance or on topic? Did you address the concept of non-partisan political and financial gain? No you went square to the partisan perch again because you seem unable to discuss a subject WITHOUT partisan retorting.

    Where did I say Trump was penniless before joining politics? I might suggest his financial position is very overstated because he is not transparent with his financial reporting and as the NY legal issues showed he over stated his equity to gain margin loans on properties, he is an exaggerator but I dont care if he is dishonest in his financial dealings, I never said he was broke but you went there for some boring reason. I said TS would not have its market cap IF Trump were not active in politics, it might not even exist if he wasnt and thus is personal gain would be largely reduced if not completely and his crypto/NFT scamming would not exist if he were not in office. What is difficult about facing reality and understanding that YES Trump has greatly profited from being in the political arena? What is so rough to see such a simple conclusion?

    If you want to fault Biden for using his political stock to financially gain then hold standards for Trump, Bush, both sides not just the one you dislike.

    What? He isn't the 14th GREATEST PRESIDENT OF ALL TIME? I am shocked. I come here to Covers to get true honest unbiased nonpartisan information. My mouth is literally on the floor right now. Please please tell me this isn't true. No way my fellow members would EVER perpetuate deceitful propaganda. This literally ruined my Christmas.

      No kidding.......not a joke. Anyone that ranks Biden #14 POTUS of all time has their head up their ass.

     Now he's saying that if he had stayed in the race he could've beat Trump. an_roll_laugh Not only that, but he's grumbling about having appointed Garland, saying he was too aggressive in prosecuting his son but not enough so in going after Trump. He couldn't even be graceful in his presser about Carter.

    NO, not in the open or behind the scenes, LEGAL OR NOT!!!

    And throw in the media and social media platforms that barred any mention of the laptop being real based on an obvious well orchestrated deflection scheme of 51 former intel officals signing off on "all the makings" of russian disinformation.

    Yes, but as I have been saying for a while now, there is more to it than that.  You have the Media on the Left and the Democrats know it.  But they are taking those outlets for granted and not understanding the changing dynamics of what the folks are saying.

    For example, look at a portion of this article about, are or less, that same thing:

    Kamala Harris’ deputy campaign manager Rob Flaherty gave a striking interview.

    Flaherty did what no other top Democrat campaign official in living memory has ever done, which is to admit openly that the mainstream media is on the Democrat Party team.

    “There’s just no value — with respect to my colleagues in the mainstream press — in a general election, to speaking to the New York Times or speaking to the Washington Post, because those [readers] are already with us,” Flaherty stated.

    The press caters to the Left because in an era where newspapers are dependent on subscribers, executives know their customer base is predominantly Democrats.

    Kamala Harris’ media strategy revolved around traditional press outlets, whereas Donald Trump went on podcasts in an attempt to reach a broader audience.

    Flaherty admitted Trump’s strategy was superior because polls show record numbers of Americans don’t trust the press.

    “The reason folks are seeking alternative sources of media and are turning away from political news is because they don’t trust our institutions. They don’t trust elites, they don’t trust the media, they don’t trust all this stuff. So the party of elites and institutions is going to have a hard time selling to people in these places,” Flaherty added.

    Americans don’t trust the media because of years of lying.

    The press began Trump’s Presidency with the Russia collusion hoax.

    Years of lying continued with falsehoods about the COVID origins.

    Flaherty didn’t go so far as to predict the death of the traditional media, but he said Democrats would eventually get fed up with the mainstream press’ lies and seek out alternatives.

    “They’re never going to not trust the New York Times, and they’re never going to distrust the Washington Post,” Flaherty stated. 

    “But I think that in a Trump era, you’ll start to see frustrations with the mainstream media come to a boil. And I think there will be smart people who try to fill the gap — more individuals who create content on left and center-left messaging,” Flaherty concluded.

    Democrats are already seeing this play out.

    Ratings on MSNBC and CNN are down more than 50 and 40 percent since the election because viewers realized they lied to them about Kamala Harris’ chances of victory.

    You can only mis/dis/un-inform people for so long before they get fed up, or at the least, stopping trusting what you say.

    Instead of just 'reporting the news' they set an agenda and spin a narrative, often with twisted data or even outright lies.

    @BigfootIsThere

     Your posts get moved because they make no sense. The idea of thread/post creation is for discussion not for you to say something which you understand but that few if any others do. 

    Discussion is the purpose for a forum not talking to yourself without a purpose OF discussion.

    @unplucked_gem

     There you go again...more of the same. Your reply is a personal retort jab. You need someone to moderate a reply to your jab at me. Its always the same the blame and finger point and try to soil, you are doing nothing more than proving my original point.

    Try discussing content not that you think I am unfair or that you get more likes than I do. Who cares about your buddies patting you on the back, the reason why there are issues is your side makes personal jabs and attacks as a consistent narrative while the other side keeps to themselves. Your side are the complainers and mod crying side because you cannot handle someone actually rebutting your partisan claims. Your side is also the side that stalks other members outside this section, your side tries to goad the other side into personal combative fighting...the other side ignores you and they are not needing to reply to my threads or posts. The difference is NEITHER side really discusses content or can debate and have differing views, but the other side keeps to themselves and avoids rule breaking, your side is pretty lousy at either ignoring or not stalking. To me it looks like you have the issue, if you cannot keep on point and resort to crying and complaining what kind of responses do you expect?

    So are you for or against non-partisan financial gain by someone in politics? Simple question..and I dont care if you like comparisons of Biden to Trump and his kids, its completely valid. Donnie reminds me squarely of Hunter, the only difference is Hunter has openly been known about his drug issues, Donnie has not. Both are zero ego testosterone goofs, both (and most around Trump) have financially taken advantage of their parents accomplishments, both completely lack morals and character. Bush and the Carlisle group/Saudi financial dealings are quite similar if not WORSE than Hunter and his pay day from the Ukraine dealings. I'd say Bush is a long ways worse, Hunter is chump change some little square dood trying to make a few bucks..not even close to the Bush accomplishments of corruption and conflicts of interest.

    Ohhh boy. Pretty one-sided point of view and that is why everyone on the right complains about you as a mod. You really do only see it one way and that is frankly annoying to everyone but the left. Frankly I see it on both sides. I don't know how calling someone (whether a disgusting human being or not) a rapist, fraud, felon, the Fuher, a fascist, MAGA cult, etc, etc, etc brings about non-partisan discussion. I don't see how they are not considered constant attacks or partisan narrative, I don't see how it doesn't get into combative fighting. It has been disgusted that Trump has literally won defamation of character lawsuits for calling him a rapist but yet you let the left say it in nearly every post. He is a convicted but not a sentenced felon so until that happens, I guess we shall see won't we. Fact is Hunter Biden will never get the equal opportunity to join Mr. Trump in the same distinction. Is Trump really a bigger fraud than Biden? I said in another thread every president Clinton era on has been a fraud. But how you allow discussions comparing Trump to fascism and Nazi Germany, calling the right combatively MAGA cultists all the time without putting the threads in the pbox or boxing these people is beyond me.

So are you for or against non-partisan financial gain by someone in politics? Simple question..and I dont care if you like comparisons of Biden to Trump and his kids, its completely valid. Donnie reminds me squarely of Hunter, the only difference is Hunter has openly been known about his drug issues, Donnie has not. Both are zero ego testosterone goofs, both (and most around Trump) have financially taken advantage of their parents accomplishments, both completely lack morals and character. Bush and the Carlisle group/Saudi financial dealings are quite similar if not WORSE than Hunter and his pay day from the Ukraine dealings. I'd say Bush is a long ways worse, Hunter is chump change some little square dood trying to make a few bucks..not even close to the Bush accomplishments of corruption and conflicts of interest.

    I could literally go through this sub forum and demonstrate dozens and dozens and dozens of threads that are extremely left, add no value to discussion, no value to this sub forum, are combative by the words they use and yet still exist with zero push back. Ohh and it relates to stalking that is laughable. The only person I have seen stalk anyone lately has been Midnight. He literally went into the pbox to stalk the shit out of Sarasota Slim (you know the one asking you personally for a response). Nothing happened to Midnight (nor will ever).

    I would bet you if we ever got a fair and impartial mod that boxed everyone alike (not the right about 20 to every 1 left for the same actions) you would get the non partisan discussion that you want or this sub would literally die because everyone would be boxed. Just my thoughts. It is amazing how prospectives can be so different isn't it?

Ohhh boy. Pretty one-sided point of view and that is why everyone on the right complains about you as a mod. You really do only see it one way and that is frankly annoying to everyone but the left. Frankly I see it on both sides. I don't know how calling someone (whether a disgusting human being or not) a rapist, fraud, felon, the Fuher, a fascist, MAGA cult, etc, etc, etc brings about non-partisan discussion. I don't see how they are not considered constant attacks or partisan narrative, I don't see how it doesn't get into combative fighting. It has been disgusted that Trump has literally won defamation of character lawsuits for calling him a rapist but yet you let the left say it in nearly every post. He is a convicted but not a sentenced felon so until that happens, I guess we shall see won't we. Fact is Hunter Biden will never get the equal opportunity to join Mr. Trump in the same distinction. Is Trump really a bigger fraud than Biden? I said in another thread every president Clinton era on has been a fraud. But how you allow discussions comparing Trump to fascism and Nazi Germany, calling the right combatively MAGA cultists all the time without putting the threads in the pbox or boxing these people is beyond me.

     

    Exactly! Well said!  My posts keep getting deleted for saying things like:  10% - Big Guy.... while FAR more combative language is used.

     Well thanks for not answering my content based reply...how about this just do a TEENY TEENY bit of research on someone other than Reggie Bush and maybe you can learn something in your youth.

    @jesron1269

     Instead of trying to take yet another yawner shot at me, go read the threads moved...they make zero sense and yet he posted it over and over and over. Show me a left thread that was incoherent to anyone reading it, then show me five and show me ten. Go in the box or better yet click his username and follow the content he posted again and again and again.

    You know we move lots of odd ball threads, all the time most every single day so quit whining and trying to force another partisan wedge when it has ZERO to do with the topic. Go read his threads...go and see for yourself.
