He wouldn’t need to concoct anything.  The military does stuff like that.

So sue them.  Why do you suppose that has never happened?  How do you suppose black programs are funded?

Congress doesn’t do that anymore.

>…They didn't do it by lying to Congress and telling them they were building a battleship…

Again we end up arguing over a definition.  Can we create a set (in the mathematical sense) with clear boundaries, where everything inside that set is a “battleship” and everything outside that set is not?  How?

Read the sentence you just wrote John, then ponder it carefully.  The implication is clear.  Justice is influenced by political considerations.  Thanks for that candid admission.

 

>…18 minutes before Trump announced a pause on his idiotic tariffs, somebody placed a 2.1 million dollar bet on it, and half an hour later that bet was worth $30 million. Gee I wonder who that guy could've been….

 

Follow the money John.  Are you the only person aware of this?  Do inform the NY Times. 

 

>…In February of this year Donald Trump purchased $5 million in Dell stock just before the Department of Defense announced a $9.7 billion purchase agreement with Dell, then on multiple occasions Trump publicly told his supporters to "go out and buy a Dell computer"…

 

So file a lawsuit.  What is stopping you?

 

 

>…In the three months before the start of his Iran war Donald Trump’s financial trust  on average made 50 trades a day with defense contractors like General Dynamics, Lockheed Martin and Palantir…

 

So sue.  What is stopping you? 

 

>…Donald Trump’s financial trust bought $6 million in Nvidia stock just before he approved advanced their chip sales to China…

 

Sue John.  Sue away.  That’s what courts are foe.

 

>…A long time ago in a galaxy far far away I remember when it was considered a great scandal when President Obama wore a tan suit!

Hmmm, don’t bother suing over that one.  

 

Honestly, what is stopping you from suing, if you know of financial malfeasance on the other matters?  Get on it, me lad!  I won’t object, not for a minute.  I’ll cheer you on.  I have no current bets on the prediction markets, being distracted with life matters, so I have no personal stake in it one way or the other.
