How us it that political figures in high office start as medium/high income wage earners and leave as millionaire's?

[sage2021]

There's something fishy going on! Pelosi was just a mother of 5 and homemaker when she got into politics. She left her political career as a millionaire - probably from insider trading. People in Congress know what the stocks will be before the public. She tells her husband her secrets and he's the one doing the transactions.
Take the Clintons as well. I remember them saying how poor they were going to be when his term ended. Now they are both millionaire's.
I wonder if Biden is collecting his paycheck for being president? Hummm! Trump was only paid $1.00 and the rest went to charity.

[FunkyMonkee]

Trump was the only one that DIDN'T screw over the people to get rich! With him, it worked backwards, he started out rich and got poorer while President!
The Clintons are as crooked as you can get!! Bill's got a nose like a vacuum cleaner and snorts trunk loads of coke and fucks anything in a skirt that'll stand still long enough because Hitlary can't stand him!! They started a fund for Haiti after they were ripped to shit by a storm a number of years ago and they Clintons KEPT all the money!! When they left the White House, they STOLE ALL KINDS OF STUFF from that house!! Anyone that gets into Hiitlary's way gets suicided! And they both charge insane amounts of money to do speaking engagements!
Nancy's no better than Hitlary and they've been best buddies in crime for a number of decades!! And, you SHOULD' know all about the Biden crime family, by now!

[Surely]

You really can’t think that they run for office to Make America Great without first lining their pockets!
You missed the taxpayer funded healthcare, the per diems and of course their retirements! Plus being able to vote themselves pay raises!

[Surely]

Thank you for the MHO!

[RolandCuthbert]

What do you mean how? They trade access for money? Lauren Boebert was in debt and didn't even have a GED before she was elected to office.

She is now worth $41 million dollars.

Of course, GaG being a maga obsessed forum will only point out dems. Well, no Repub in Congress now, wants an audit across the board.

Because they know they are dirty. Wait and see just much money Santos makes over his two year stint.

I can't say I blame them. If you have sheep willing to be fleeced, take it all!

[FunkyMonkee]

Maybe that's because it's mostly the dems that are fucking us over!

[RolandCuthbert]

@FunkyMonkee Really?

Then why not audit them all across the board? Maga just rescinded ethics rules. . . for some odd reason. Trump tax returns were never made public until the dems forced him. But Biden's? You can find them online.

So your nonsense about "its the dems" is tired. . . old and worn out. Maga doesn't want any politician audited, because if a dem gets audited that means maga has to be audited too.

[FunkyMonkee]

YES, REALLY!!
FINE WITH ME!! If Trump had to show his tax records, there's NO reason any of the dems shouldn't have to, as well!! As expected, Trump's showed NOTHING!! I can't WAIT to see Biden's or Hitllary's!! THAT'S when we're gonna see some shit fly!!
You don't know which way is up, do you?

[RolandCuthbert]

@FunkyMonkee I am sure it is not fine with you. Trump lied about releasing his taxes 8 different ways. First, he was fixin' to get ready to release them. Then he was truthfully going to release them. Then he couldn't release them because they were under continuous audit. Then he couldn't release them because he was being investigated, then he would release them only if Obama released his birth certificate, then it was illegal to for anyone to release them, etc.

The fact is this, you do not want anything truthful released. Because the truth will show just how corrupt, how many lies, and how insidious maga has been in fleecing Americans left and right. You would rather it just be a mudslinging contest than see the truth about how is being paid and where that money is coming from.

[FunkyMonkee]

Yeah, sure he did!!
You sound like a cop that's so intent on arresting a kid that stole a 5 cent pack of gum you can't see all the other crime raging around you!!
If I don't what anything truthful released, why do you think Hitlary shouldn't release HER tax records? Why don't you want the world to see Barry's birth certificate? Why don't you want what's on Hunter's laptop to come out?
I've SEEN the truth!! That's all we got from Trump! Where's the truth from Hitlary and Bill, nutty Nancy, Barry, the Bush crime family, the Biden crime family? Funny how you don't give a fuck about any of that because it has nothing to do with Trump!! Trump LOST money going into politics!! All those others got filthy rich from it!! I guess THAT doesn't bother you at all!! THAT'S where the fleecing is going on right under your very nose and you're TOO FUCKING STUPID to see it!! BECAUSE, TRUMP!! And, just what part of making America great again is it that you hate so much?

[RolandCuthbert]

@FunkyMonkee Dude, your turd can go free. It isn't like you magats believe in law, order or anything that gets in the way or installing a dictatorship or your totalitarian vision. It isn't like he matters, right.

We were just lucky that he was dumb as fuck.

The issue is now he has opened the door for every disgusting, lying piece of drek who has ambition to run for office. Because all they have to do is join the culture war, and they don't have to worry about doing their job, telling the truth or obeying the law. As long as they hate the same people you hate, they can take money out of your pocket and suck this nation dry.

WTF? Hillary's tax records are online. Biden's are online. Obama's are online. And I say if you run for and obtain public office, your tax records cannot be your own. They belong to the public. So everyone can see exactly who's payroll you are on. You can pretend that you magats want that, but the only people you are fooling are yourselves.

The funny thing is, it isn't like you would even care, if it was President XI himself paying any politician.

So why are you pretending?

[lightbulb27]

I like that idea... audit them all! Where do I sign?

[sage2021]

@RolandCulbert
We aren't supposed to call each other names on this website. Calling MAGA maggots isn't called for. When you go low, the MAGA people go High!!!

[sage2021]

@RolandCuthbert Better yet, why don't we give each Dem them each sodium pentothal and maybe we can get some sort of truth out of them. Otherwise, it's business as usual with those lying Democrats.
The bible says "Thalt shall not lie" so I guess they'll have to answer to the real Big Man, God, after they pass from this life. And mark my words, that will happen to each of them one day as it will all of us.

[RolandCuthbert]

Dude, I have been called every slur, insult, name in the dictionary. And when the moderators pay attention to all culprits regardless of their political leanings, race or culture, I will abide.

Until then, I will say what I want, when I want and where I want.

Call it "free speech".

[RolandCuthbert]

You are telling me about God saying "Thou shalt not lie".

While being a trump supporter.

Case closed.

[FunkyMonkee]

Nothing wrong with that! At least she's not a Biden supporter!!

[RolandCuthbert]

@FunkyMonkee Hey dude, I don't care that you have freedom to be an extremist cult.

I just want the freedom to follow logic and rational thinking.

[FunkyMonkee]

Sorry! YOU'RE the extremist cultist!!
Well, when are you gonna START following logic and rational thinking? I haven't seen ANY from you, yet!!

[sage2021]

@RolandCuthbert Now come on Roland - if you had any intelligence in your brain, surely you would know that it's the Democrats that are an extremist cult!! You've been hiding behind the bushes too long Roland. It's the people on the Right that are the logical, rational people.
Republicans don't display any cult behavior, but Democrats do. They speak the same words (like a cult), they have destroyed our beloved America 🇺🇸.
When I see your picture I look at it and say to myself "There's that leftist guy that gets off on aggravating people here that are on the logical and right side. You look foolish for being on the wrong side. So, your freedom you want took you right into a cult, which takes away people's freedom. Would you read a book please? Gee whiz!!

[RolandCuthbert]

@FunkyMonkee Dude, you are such a cultist I bet that everything you say here comes out in a spray of snot and spittle.

:D

And I won't deny your right to scream, jump up and down and lose your mind because I have the "nerve" to disagree with your extremist theocratic nonsense.

I just want the right to be logical, rational and practical.

[RolandCuthbert]

Nah, there is nothing logical or rational about maga. The dems, the libs, went through a time when their views on American democracy were simply not practical. That was 30 years ago. Maybe slowly over the years, things changed without me noticing. But I know what people claim is "republican" today, does not resemble "Conservatism". It doesn't resemble logic. Or rational thinking.

You have your friend here, literally screaming at me on a forum. I mean, caps locks, exclamation points, and losing his entire mind. . . simply because I have the nerve to disagree.

This is how unhinged and illogical you are. You said, "when you see my picture".

Dude, where do you see my picture? I mean, you can't even prove you observe an objective reality. Then to throw the insult "read a book" when you are a member of a book burning, science denying cult who follow a leader who thinks "un-presidented" is a real word.

[FunkyMonkee]

Correct! WHO'S in charge of antiifa? DEMOCRATS!! FASCIST DEMOCRATS!! WHO'S in charge of blm? DEMOCRATS!! WHO was in charge of the KKK? DEMOCRATS!! WHAT do they all have in common? Murder, burning and destruction!! NOW, WHERE'S all these republican extremist cults you're on about?

[FunkyMonkee]

YOU'RE the one doing all the screaming and jumping up and down, raving on because of your extremist brainwashing
GO RIGHT AHEAD AND BE logical and practical!! I'll bet you'd even like it!! Just let us know when you plan to start so we can congratulate you for FINALLY using your brain for something more than a hat rack!!
Maga people are MOSTLY rational and practical!! How many buildings have we torn down? How many statues have we destroyed and defaced? How many stores have we looted? How many people have we killed on the streets in riots and protests? NONE!!! Only dummycrats do that infantile bullshit!!
The dems and libs are STILL going through a time of mental unrest!!
It's VERY obvious you haven't noticed ANYTHING!
It doesn't? Oh! You mean, because we don't kill, maim and destroy everything in sight until we get our way like spoiled rotten little BRATS? If that's dem world, I want no part of that and y'all should just go find an island somewhere and do as much of that insane shit as you want to your OWN little country!! And. take all your precious illegals with you!!
Literally screaming? Maybe in YOUR tiny little brain but, I'm just "conversing" at a normal "tone"!
I capitalize certain WORDS for emphasis because you can't type inflection! If I was screaming, you'd see at least 6 !'s at the end of anything I said!
I see! So, I'M not allowed to disagree?
I never said that! SHE did! I have no idea where she saw YOUR picture but, maybe she was just talking about dems, in general, not you, specifically.
Really? Where's my book burning club membership card? How come I never got one? Why do I have all these books around me? Why have I co-authored so many? I'll bet I believe more in science than you do!
Where did you see, "un-presidented"?

[RolandCuthbert]

@FunkyMonkee These two posts confirm everything I have said. Which is why rational thinking people can no longer find a home in the Republican party. They have become a cult of rabid screaming lunatics.



The depths of his dishonesty is just astounding to me. The dishonesty, the transactional nature of every relationship, though it’s more pathetic than anything else. He is the most flawed person I have ever met in my life,” Kelly has told friends, the outlet reported.

John Kelly on Donald Trump.

John Kelly is a retired four-star Marine general and former commander of U. S. Southern Command. He served as the White House chief of staff in President Donald Trump's (R) administration from July 2017 to December 2018.

[FunkyMonkee]

No, they confirm everything I'VE said!!
But, we ARE the rational thinking people!! Joy Behar just proved that on national t. v.!! Sge said that Joe DOESN'T lie!! In the meantrime, we've caught him in DOZENS oof lies as far back in the early `80's oor llate `70's!! Your own people even caughht him in lies back them and told the world about them!! In the meantime, so far, not a single thing trump has said can be proven to be a lie!! And it's YOU people and Joy that have made the claim that he DOES lie!! PROVE IT!! You've been on his ass for 7 FUCKING YEARS so far and STILL have NOTHING to show for all your bullshit accusations!! I can't IMAGINE why THAT would be!! YOU'RE ALL LOSERS!! And SORE ONES, AT THAT!!
Is that YOUR picture? No WONDER sage says those things about you!!
Take a look at your own dishonesty before you go pointing the finger at others for shit they never did!1 Even your beloved Whoopi Cushion Goldfart says that!! And I quote: "If your sneaker is clean, THEN you can walk on the white carpet!"
What's pathetic is you trying desperately to get out of the quicksand you've gotten yourself into!!
Who is John Kelly supposed to be when he's in town? When is he gonna PROVE any of this supposed dishonesty? We've got TONS of shit on crime boss Biden!
So? Mike Pense was Trump's VP and HE stabbed Trump in the back, too!! I could've told Don that from the get-go!!

[lightbulb27]

It's gotten very corrupt since we opened up the printing presses around 1971. Now it gets worse.

Pelosi married a rich guy. If you know where to invest, because you are inside the system and can talk to the smartest people... you do very well.

Obama and clinton sold books and speaking fees to the tune of millions in advance payment. HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! yea right, I recall Clinton going to visit Goldman sachs with a big smile on her face.

AOC worth a million now... she'll make 10 million easy, maybe 100 million if we keep spending like this. sky is the limit when you got a printing press.

Most probably take advantage, we'd have to audit them all to see their wealth

Exact mechanics of it, I dont know. Ask your rep, go visit them!

[exitseven]

Obama was able to buy an 8 million dollar estate on the Vineyard. He says it was from proceeds from his book. I saw his book in the discount rack in BJs a month after it came out so I am suspicious.

[Lliam]

That's why they go into politics. Their job is to raise money for the party. That's what most of their time is dedicated to. And the more money they make for the party, the choicer their appointments and opportunities to cash in.

They are like evangelists who are in the business to build mega churches and become obscenely wealthy.

[joeldalton]

weird, huh. also weird they beat the stock market when the average American lost 15% of their wealth.

[sage2021]

@joeldalton they should investigate congress and bust the one's doing insider trading. Your thoughts?

[joeldalton]

Ideally, we go back to the origins of congress. They're paid minimum wage and it's a 10-hour-a-week job. Or ban them and all their immediate family from trading stocks while they're in office.

[sage2021]

@joeldalton Yes, they should ban them and their family members from trading period. Nancy Pelosi 's husband bought Nancy's stocks for her and had an "S" for spouse, meaning Nancy's stock.
They should also swear on the bible that they will not give any insider trading to anyone while they are in office of the Congress.
I wonder why they have to know in the first place?

[call_me_scar]

They are corrupt or sell books even after they leave they make money Obama took a few 100 grand from Wallstreet after he left office

[MrCommodore]

Boris Johnson made ~$1.5 million in only 4 weeks by giving key note speeches at a few Corporate events. I expect most high profile politicians are doing the same.

[Anonymous]

Insider trading sure

Drugs, those bastards love to sell drugs

Supplying guns to terrorist organisations
