President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Irony, thy nickname is "Denver."

Underwood describes himself as politically “right-of center.” To wit, he plans to vote for Donald Trump again in November because of the Republican Party’s “support for police departments and law and order.” Still, he often found himself hiding from the law and outright breaking it.

The Hikers Who Lied and Broke Laws to Finish the AT This Year

 

"What do you mean, "we", covfefe?"

 

I heard today (on PodSaveAmerica) a recount of how the whole bountygate began...a Seal Team raided a Taliban stronghold, stormed the hut, and low and behold found a pallet of $500,000 in $100 bills. They “interrogated” the captives who admitted they got the US cash from the Ruskies. Think about that for a minute. The fact that story, with that detail, has been leaked is all the proof you need that the “Deep State” has finally had enough of the ramps and water antics.
So my question is...where’s the cash? And have forensic teams taken it and traced where and when in the USA it was printed and how did it end up in Afghanistan? Was it shipped to Putin by Trump/Pence/Mnuchin? You have to admit that would be a next-level troll move by Putin...who is entirely capable of such.

 

A "pallet" of $100 bills worth $50,000 would fit in a shoebox.

 

The Red Waddler from Queens is really doing this nickname shit again, thinking it's the secret sauce.

 

I thought the SEALs found $500K.

 

Every government on earth has access to ready supplies of every currency on earth. Russian intelligence probably has billions of US cash in the bank. CIA probably isn't shy of rubles, either.
PS: In a perverse kind of way, this story is an illustration of real US power, our status as the world's central reserve currency, that means as much or more than our military power. Even enemies wanting to kill our troops want to be paid in our money.

 

If they found $50 million, that would probably fill one of those 4 x 6 foot pallets.
A US currency bill has a standard weight of one gram. So $50 million would be 500,000 bills = 500 kilograms or about 1100 pounds. Nothing at all your typical warehouse forklift couldn't handle in a snap.

 

Typo

 

By happy rule of thumb coincidence, $100 million of $100 bills would weigh just about one ton. (Slightly over.)

A standard semi-trailer truck has a capacity of about 40 tons. A 747, about 120 tons.

 

Hatemonger has some thoughts:

Trump: Black Lives Matter is a 'symbol of hate'

 

Yes. Hate of you, you daughterfucking fatass. For once you're right: it really is about you.
