Oh no…the Leopards ate my face thread

Maybe once that model hits the resale market!

 

Holy cow that's a lot of restarts to figure out

 

Eco. You have the bro podcasts, fox news and main stream media. You could spend a whole day and never hear anything positive about America. Not to mention traditional right wind talkers in the mold of Pence when he had a show.

 

Ya think?

 

Like the old Barry Cryer gag...

 

... and let me tell yer, that thing is completely reliable and accurate

 

Give it a few weeks or months... that'll change,

 

Right wing wind talkers are the worst kind of wind talkers.

Trump’s Middle East Adviser Pick Is a Small-Time Truck Salesman
The lore around Massad Boulos, Tiffany Trump’s father-in-law, is that he is a billionaire dealmaker. Records show otherwise.

President-elect Donald Trump’s incoming Middle East adviser, Massad Boulos, has enjoyed a reputation as a billionaire mogul at the helm of a business that bears his family name.

Mr. Boulos has been profiled as a tycoon by the world’s media, telling a reporter in October that his company is worth billions. Mr. Trump called him a “highly respected leader in the business world, with extensive experience on the international scene.”

The president-elect even lavished what may be his highest praise: a “dealmaker.”

In fact, records show that Mr. Boulos has spent the past two decades selling trucks and heavy machinery in Nigeria for a company his father-in-law controls. The company, SCOA Nigeria PLC, made a profit of less than $66,000 last year, corporate filings show.

There is no indication in corporate documents that Mr. Boulos, a Lebanese-American whose son is married to Mr. Trump’s daughter Tiffany, is a man of significant wealth as a result of his businesses. The truck dealership is valued at about $865,000 at its current share price. Mr. Boulos’s stake, according to securities filings, is worth $1.53.
As for Boulos Enterprises, the company that has been called his family business in The Financial Times and elsewhere, a company officer there said it is owned by an unrelated Boulos family.

Mr. Boulos will advise on one of the world’s most complicated and conflict-wracked regions — a region that Mr. Boulos said this week that he has not visited in years. The advisory position does not require Senate approval.

The confusion over Mr. Boulos’s background — and his failure for years to clear up misunderstandings until questioned this week by The Times — raises questions about how thoroughly Mr. Trump’s team vetted his nominees. The team was caught by surprise by allegations of sexual misconduct against Pete Hegseth, the pick for defense secretary.

A spokeswoman for the Trump transition team declined to comment.

Mr. Boulos, a Christian from northern Lebanon who emigrated to Texas as a teenager, has risen in prominence since 2018, when his son Michael began dating Tiffany Trump.

This year, Massad Boulos helped Mr. Trump woo Arab-American voters, and in the fall served as a go-between for Mr. Trump and the Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas.

In October, The Times asked him about his wealth and business dealings.

“Your company is described as a multibillion-dollar enterprise,” a reporter said. “Are you yourself a billionaire?”

Mr. Boulos said he did not like to describe himself that way, but that journalists had picked up on the label.
“It’s accurate to describe the company as a multibillion-dollar—?” the reporter followed up.
“Yeah,” Mr. Boulos replied. “It’s a big company. Long history.”
But in a subsequent interview on Tuesday, Mr. Boulos said that he had only meant to confirm that other news outlets had written — incorrectly — that he runs such a company.

In another call, on Wednesday, he said he was referring to his father-in-law’s companies, which he said were collectively worth more than $1 billion, though the company he runs is not.

“I’ve never really gone into any details like that about the value,” he said.

He confirmed that he has no relationship with Boulos Enterprises. Asked why he had never corrected the record, he said that he made a practice of not commenting on his business.

Mr. Boulos has a history of small business ventures. Corporate records in Nigeria tie him to a restaurant, some inactive construction companies and to Tantra Beverages, a now-defunct company that was set up to sell an “erotic drink” that “gives men and women the ultimate stimulating push,” according to its manufacturer.

 

That's the fecking understatement of the century

 

Well, I said that's probably the best hope under the circumstances but the word 'hope' is probably inappropriate tbh. It's more an acceptance of the political reality.

 

This story is off the charts crazy. All I can think of is Tiffany asking her hubs: "What -- you mean the billion-dollar company is not your family's? And your dad's share is worth less than 2 bucks?"

 

It seems his daughter is as easy a mark as he is.

 

They are all grifters.....Tiffany comes from a family of grifters......Grifters of the world unite!

 

Trump tells Time he's not sure he can get the price of groceries down:

"It's hard to bring things down once they're up. You know, it's very hard."

Of course zero Trump voters will actually care about this.

 

Was it a Chris Rock comedy bit how Dick Cheney was the only man to have ever shot another man in the face, then made that man apologize to him for the distress caused?

 

"He says what he thinks"
