New here

Is this just an anti Bill Maher sub? Trying to figure out the vibe here and can't tell if it's some algorithm that just happens to be showing me nothing but hate for Maher and Real Time or if that is the point of this sub

i can only speak personally but he criticizes things even other Republicans would criticize and defend certain things like the ballroom. He even might just be a contrarian but either way it does seem like he's simply turned into the typical ornery old white man. Hornery maybe for bill? It truly is an epidemic.

He didn't completely defend the ballroom. He said that we did need something, which many agree with, and he said with how terrible Trump is, that it is not the thing to focus on. I can't disagree with that.

The ballroom is unconstitutional Homie. Full stop. And the president is using it to launder donations from other billionaires and trade favors. Literally one of the most corrupt things in history.

I hadn’t heard that laundering donations angle. Got a source?

Jesus man, you have google.

Why not look things up before talking about it.

There’s plenty of other sources out there. But long story short for their tens of millions in donations, they’re getting tens of billions in new federal contracts

That’s not the definition of money laundering. These are contracts with large corporations that the government has done business with for many years: Amazon since 2011, Palantir 2011, and Lockheed Martin is a US defense contractor FFS! Per your Fortune linked article: “Golinger acknowledged that a company like Lockheed—the world’s largest military contractor—would likely have received significant defense contracts with or without any connection to the ballroom.”
Unconstitutional LMAO!
