Congressmen are powerful people who's reputation is valuable to them for reelection. The accusations of wrong doing morally or criminally can end a career. There are many, probably majority of congressmen that would have a hard time paying for attorneys to clear their name on a 175K average salary. Settlements are cheaper that a long court battle. We don't want to discourage people running for congress. Below is an example. Example, I built a home years ago and had to hire an attorney because my home builder was not paying for materials. He was trying to build a second house and charge materials. I was 150% in the right, and an easy case......however, his attorney said I owed him money because I didn't pay him for some of his work. His attorney said they would settle for $7000.00. I was a hard no, lets take this thing to court. My attorney wisely advised that if we had to go to court, his bill would be north of 10K. Then he advised if the jury find me liable for $1.00, I would be responsible for their attorneys fee's which would be more than his..... I was left with pay 7K and close on my house or risk paying north of 20K and postpone my closing by months...... So, I'm not totally against this "slush" fund.....

Not a good look for Gavin...... But at the same time, if they still vote for him, maybe he is right..... Biden got majority of the black vote, and said if you don't vote for me, you ain't black..... Hillary claimed she kept hot sauce in her purse....... I guess, sometimes the truth is not a good look.

Why would anyone try to understand a platform that you can hear directly from Congressman and politicians when you can just wait for CNN to tell you what they said😂

Biden did the same thing paying off college debt for votes…. Trump is using another statute, he is not defying the court……and you know that…..

Do you disagree with price gouging laws? Banks have had restrictions and last 20 years have had to jump through hoops to stay profitable Research Frank - Dodd Act - Obama Credit Card Act 2009 CRA 1977 - (big one that causes banks to loan to lower income) I’m not big on government oversight, but at the same time I do not like predatory lending

I honestly think the 10% cap on credit cards is a great idea. The point about they would only give cc’s to people with high credit scores that had less of a risk to pay it back and not to people who have bad credit scores is a win for the bank! The truth is, it is a win for customers who get credit cards, go crazy and spend more than they can afford…. There’s also a way around that, limit risk by limiting exposure. The person that got a $2000 credit card limit with 30% interest, now gets an $800 credit limit at 10%. As for mortgages and taxes….it is typically not the loan that gets you, it’s the taxes and insurance that consistently goes up. I’ve always wanted a house on the water, but flood alone was $3900 a year….add windstorm and fire policy, along with taxes, that would add almost $1000 a month to your mortgage

Is it? Members of Congress has seen everything unreacted. If they’ve seen evidence, name the names

The details are unproven hearsay….. someone can say something, but if there is no evidence to prove it, what good is it. ?

There is another tread somewhere where everyone thinks it is in bad taste. Trump gave an explanation - some understood, some didn't

Because he disagreed with the ruling and will find other avenues? Don't you think you're being a little dramatic? The Biden administration not protecting the Supreme Court Justices and using a heavy hand to prevent their assaults or murders when Roe vs Wade was overturned would be closer to a constitutional crisis than this......but I believe you were silent on that

The Supreme Court said he does not have the power under IEEPA to impose tariffs

I wonder what would happen to me if I started only following policies I agreed with at work??

This Epstein thread really reminds me of the climate issue democrats are so passionate about. 1950's - Greenhouse effect 1980's - Global Warming 2000's - Climate Change The Epstein Files - Initially - This is the end of trump, we got him now. -After first release - They have redacted names to protect Trump - He's in there somewhere -After Latest release - He's covering for his friends.....

They are use to Presidents that do one thing at a time...... Trump knows how to delegate.....He is a master at it. That is why he became wealthy...... Going off a little here, when folks say he used his daddies money to get rich.....The only truth to that is he did inherited a little money.....But if turning a million dollars into several billion were easy, we would have no millionaires, they would all be billionaires.....

There is a list of others….not over by a long shot

My guess no worse than when the Supreme Court turned over Roe versus Wade…..lol

From the President: “Although I firmly disagree with the court's holding today, the decision might not substantially constrain a president's ability to order tariffs going forward." "That's because numerous other federal statutes, which is so true, authorize the president to impose tariffs and might justify most, if not all, of the tariffs issued in this case. Even more tariffs." The Supreme Court DID NOT overrule Tariffs; they merely overruled a particular use of IEEPA Tariffs." This is far from over…..

"wear" it Why do you have to be accusatory because I disagree with you? Is your point that weak?

Pretty childish coming from what I believe is an adult…. I don’t anyone on here that claims they support pedo’s. This is an attention post and most of us see right through it….Do better, I know you have it in you somewhere….

Did Ed tell you that😂

Yeah, not even worth a response

Are you talking about the guy a week or two prior was vandalizing a government vehicle? I do remember that shooting. I still believe there will be no charges filed.

Donald Trump Jr. reportedly met Jeffrey Epstein months before financier’s death No where in the article that reads like The National Inquire by the way, does it state Jr. MET with Epstein. This is typical click bait, and because of you, I clicked it to verify. Your headline is a lie right off the bat. Also, it was reported on X by Ed Krassenstein.....who is a social influencer....and guess how he gets paid......CLICKS - he post outrageous stuff and gets paid by how many people click on it. He purposely trolls Trump and makes a fortune.

Add the lady that was supporting his crack down on crime in DC - Total Win
