    Reality is also that funds like that don't go 5 years without distributing profits. Over $150M in fees, no profits distributed for the life of the fund. The fact that never happens in the business world seems to be lost in your partisan perspective

    Pay attention.
    Some enjoy scouring the web more than others.
    I’m here for the entertainment.
    You’re not exactly bringing it pal.

    You don’t like the gifs…you’re not paying attention.
    Most every poster has a pattern and a go to philosophy they try to express here.
    It’s very recognizable and predictable.
    No need for me to repeat or paraphrase what others are saying which is what most do.
    My gif selection is 10X more creative than what many post here.
    You can’t see it and I’m not surprised.
    Enjoy the libbie lawyer diatribes. Glad you enjoy it.

    The fund is finishing up year 3 or possibly 4, seeing as it was started in ‘21. Not sure how you are getting to year 5.

    This is the type of thing I am talking about on this board. I see a lot of supposedly former Republicans that should be very happy about the Abraham Accords, trying to claim Kushner does not deserve any credit for them and intentionally trying to lie about how long his fund has been around to imply he was paid off by the Saudis.

    If you don’t like that Kushner took Middle Eastern money and it creates an appearance of impropriety, just say that. Leaping to “It’s a pay off to Trump through his son!” is a bit hypocritical for people that have claimed Hunter Biden is a legit businessman and his father did not benefit from his business ventures.

    My point is that the majority of the posters here are on the Left and they drown out or chase off the good posters on the right.

    You still think MAGA is conservative. How quaint.

    Do you want to get into a history of conservative populism?

    I do think MAGA folks like to think Trump is a conservative populist but that is only the closest thing that can describe Trump’s theory of governance. Outside of some trade imbalance positions, he really does not have any core beliefs outside of what he sees as his best interests.

    I’ve heard some folks on the right say that having four years out of power have given Trump and his core team time to come up with a more coherent theory on what MAGA is. I’ll believe it when I see it.

    The only consistency from MAGA is an inoculation from reality.

    can we approve of the accords and still recognize the grift? or does one justify the other?

    do you think MBS garners favor by employing massive resources and pay fees totaling over $150M for 0 profits returned to the son-in-law of a convicted felon who happens to be lined up to be potus? you know, the guy who sold pardons, or at least accepted $1M for the pardon and ambassadorship for papa kushner, the other convicted felon..how incestuous, yet people talk about other crime families, they all pail compared to this clan

    okay, we will use three years. do you think any other fund of that size can survive two years, let alone 3, with 0 profits returned followed by a capital raise?

    you keep moving the goalposts and never responding to counterpoints...all while proclaiming to not be pro trump....hmmmm..

    on this we can agree, yet you still want dna proof that the Kushner deal with MBS is dirty

    trump tower Dubai, Oman,, Riyadh, Jeddah, Istanbul...so many other cities with major financial interests at the whims of the rulers of those countries who tell the judges what the law is

    Trump-branded towers will rise in these Middle Eastern locales
