Not only has Trump funded open borders politicians like Schumer, Durbin, McCain, Graham and Menendez, but he’s also been bailed out by George Soros.

Trump actually spent Christmas Eve with George Soros in 2009, according to the New York Post.  But hey, billionaires gotta stick together, you know?  Nevermind that Soros is for a One World Order, an anti-Zionist and an anti-constitutional funder of all things unholy.

The funder of all things unholy also funded the Trump Tower in Chicago. According to the Chicago Tribune: 

Donald Trump has lined up three New York hedge funds, including money from billionaire George Soros, to invest $160 million in his Chicago skyscraper, a key piece in perhaps the largest construction financing in the city's history, according to real estate sources and public documents. 

Soros gave Donald Trump a mezzanine loan, which is basically a bailout, because Trump didn’t want to, or couldn’t, front his own money to build the Chicago Trump Tower.  Mezzanine loans are loans offered with outrageous interest that help the developer on the front end of finance, and which often offer a stake in the building.

Trump was also named in a lawsuit along with Soros in New York surrounding the sale of the GM Building, so it’s not as if Trump only dealt with Soros in Chicago.

Many Trump supporters might think this is no big deal—that businessmen have to do business with people they may personally not like.  However, in 2011, when considering a White House bid, Trump attended a Tea Party rally and told people to, “Leave George Soros alone, he has enough problems,” giving the distinct impression that Trump might just owe the global manipulator money. The magnitude of the George Soros identity is not known universally.

George Soros has a messianic complex, the likes of which he has said he needs to keep in check because otherwise he’d be in a loony bin.

Soros’ main cause is embodied in his Open Society Foundations, which he believes is an extension of his education that focused on Karl Popper’s philosophy.  Popper taught at the London School of Economics when Soros attended, and Soros has stolen Popper’s vision and turned it inside out.

The Open Society and It’s Enemies is a book Popper wrote during WWII that denounced Marxism and glorified democracy.  However, Soros has twisted Popper's overall philosophical arguments against Marxism and for democracy into a destroy borders at all cost, totalitarian Marxist worldwide order, centered on zero borders so that a chosen few can rule the globe.   Soros was widely speculated as the person who bet on America’s downgrade and partially caused our economy to tank in 2008.  Soros’ Foundation and the vast network of hundreds of groups that he funds are all centered around mass migration, and he contributes to the same politicians that Donald Trump does.  In fact, Trump has over the years contributed to Soros’ pet projects like dosomething.org, a website dedicated to youth political correctness.The groups Soros funds are the most anti-American groups that plague this nation.  Through his funding for activists, Soros’ army of Leftists twists and turns the agenda of the nation.  Most recently, Soros funded Occupy Wall Street and the Ferguson protests, as well as Media Matters and MoveOn.org.

The master of “dark money,” Soros funds the underbelly of Leftist chaos. Like Trump, he’s given to John McCain and the Clinton Foundation. Trump actually contributed a quarter of a million dollars to the Clintons, and though some might believe Trump was a hapless bystander in a swirl of political demands, understand that the entire Democratic Party, with all its constant demand for social change, held a place in Trump’s heart too, very recently.

Trump called for the impeachment of George W. Bush, taking the Leftist view of partisan destruction, saying that Bush lied about going to war.  This argument was pushed non-stop on Media Matters and Move On and the Leftists seized the national narrative of “Bush lied, people died.”  That libelous inflammatory rhetoric was a Soros special.

Soros once said that removing President George W. Bush from office in 2004 was the ‘central focus of my life.’  He put his money where his mouth is, giving $23.58 million to various 527 groups dedicated to defeating Bush.

Donald Trump has admitted to having a great relationship with Nancy Pelosi, putting his money where his mouth is and opening his moth-filled wallet.  But it was a special and deliberate appeal for a cause. "I was surprised that she (Pelosi) didn't do more in terms of Bush and going after Bush," Trump said. "It was almost - it just seemed like she was going to really look to impeach Bush and get him out of office, which personally I think would have been a wonderful thing."

Trump did not feel the same loathing for, nor did he take a political risk for the impeachment of, the most unconstitutional Leftist president this nation has ever seen, Barack Obama, telling the Putin apologist Alex Jones: “In a way you’ll make him a martyr. But I don't even say that. I'm the most disappointed in Republicans."

When you look at the people Donald Trump surrounds himself with, you couldn’t rightly say he’s aware of the types he gets into contracts and political causes with.  However, his history shows either an ignorance or stamped approval of who these people are and what they wish to accomplish.  The tentacles of worldwide dominance includes Trump, while he gives money to the worst politicians, preaches deal-making as a beatitude, and gets along with the most ruthless destroyers of America.

I embrace the reality of what Trump is. I like Trump. I like what he's done, grosso modo. I like what he proposes. I like how very angry he makes your ilk.

My "last post" which you called "past disgusting" was a simple one-line zinger. The suggestion of the article is that Zionism is a good thing, and that Soros is evil because he's an anti-Zionist.

THAT is the straw that broke the camel's back? THAT is what is finally "past disgusting" for you?

It is DISGUSTING to oppose Zionism?

Well, I do. I'm not a fan of Zionism. It's ethnic colonialism, and I'm not a fan of colonialism in any strike. To me, there is nothing special whatever about Jews that entitles them to a pass on my opposition to colonialism, which is what Zionism is.

Apparently you think that it's disgusting to have such a view.

I think that it's disgusting NOT to have my view.

I certainly am not angry. I am sad that so many people are being duped by him. If you get your wish Hillary will be POTUS for 8 years. If Trump somehow manages to win he will be a major disappointment to all those that truly believe in him.

"My "last post" which you called "past disgusting" was a simple one-line zinger. The suggestion of the article is that Zionism is a good thing, and that Soros is evil because he's an anti-Zionist."

I guess you don't bother to read any more. It should be perfectly clear to you, if you are honest, that what I was referring to as being disgusting was you singling out the anti-Zionist line and totally neglecting the real substance of the article, i.e. - Trump the crony capitalist and member in good standing in that club, including bubby buddy with the likes of Soros. I expressed no opinion about Zionism at all, I just made a statement about how intellectually bankrupt you are.

You prove once again that there is no hope for a Trump dupe.

Trump Pals Around with George Soros

Bullshit …

Many Trump supporters might think this is no big deal—that businessmen have to do business with people they may personally not like.

I am a Trump supporter and I not only think this is no big deal, I researched nine different sources to document proof that this article is truth challenged yellow journalism stating only partial facts with a lot of innuendos.

Anonymous quote: “The best way to lie is to tell the truth….carefully edited truth.”

I did this the same way an intelligent well informed individual (this of course excludes Deckard, Fred Mertz, Hondo, and lying tpaine…I hope I didn’t miss anyone) will do to get to the truth of the matter.

Well, well, well…check out former politician Dennis Hastert. Evidently, the man was doing to teen boys what him and his political co-workers do to the entire country. Not to minimize the crimes for which this former member of the political overlords has been convicted, which are disgusting, horrifying, and deserve a lot more jail time than this fat cat got.

The article alleges CONVICTED.

Hastert was CONVICTED of structuring bank withdrawals to avoid reporting requirements.

Fat cat or not, no court can sentence someone for alleged crimes that have not been tried and for which there is no conviction.

Marijuana was legalized, the owners were permitted and they asked the government to conduct a business inspection. Instead the police busted them and stole all their stuff!

Marijuana is illegal in all 50 states. It is illegal pursuant to Federal law.

States can decriminalize marijuana possession, cultivation, or distribution by removing the State criminal statutes regarding marijuana. If there is no State criminal statute being violated, there is no law to proceed with a State prosecution.

It remains illegal as a State cannot repeal Federal law.

In the instant case, the Court explicitly held that the actions of the defendants were UNLAWFUL pursuant to Michigan law. It held the defendants could not be prosecuted for their UNLAWFUL actions due to entrapment by estoppel.

Michigan v. Shattuck, Cir. Ct. for the Cty of St. Clair, Case No 15-001155-FH (2/18/2016), Opinion:

Applicable Law and Analysis

In People v. Woods, 241 Mich App 545, 548-49; 616 NW2d 211 (2000), the first case where Michigan appellate courts applied the doctrine of entrapment by estoppel, the Michigan Court of Appeals stated:

We recognize that entrapment by estoppel ... may, in certain limited circumstances, preclude prosecution. When a citizen reasonably and in good faith relies on a government agent's representation that the conduct in question is legal, under circumstances where there is nothing to alert a reasonable citizen that the agent's statement is erroneous, basic principles of due process should preclude prosecution. However, when a citizen who should know better unreasonably relies on the agent's erroneous statement, or when the "statement" is not truly erroneous, but just vague or contradictory, the defense is not applicable.

Kimball Township Ordinance 20.233 defines "compassion center" to mean, "any retail store, store front, office building, or other structures or any type of mobile unit or entity that dispenses, facilitates, sells, or provides, in any manner, marihuana or cannabis or any other product containing marihuana or cannabis, as regu lated by Section 20.409. Following that, Kimball Township Ordinance 20.409 provides definitions, conditions, and standards of operation. Specifically, under Kimball Township Ordinance 20.409(2)(f), it is stated that "Medical Marihuana Compassion Centers shall be operated in compliance with the provisions of the Department of Community Health ."

The permits and meeting minutes provided by the People show that Defendants were licensed by the Kimball Township Planning Commission to open their Medical Marihuana Compassion Center and that their compassion center had been inspected by the Kimball Township Building Official/Ordinance Enforcer to make sure Defendants were complying with the Kimball Township

Ordinance. Also, at a public meeting of the Kimball Townsrup Planning Commission, the Chairman of the Commission went so far as to thank Defendants for following the ordinance and taking the necessary steps to open the business within Kimball Townsrup in the manner required.

Based on this information, it is clear that Kimball Townsrup Planning Commission, a government agent, represented to Defendants that the DNA Alternative Wellness Center, Defendants' Medical Marihuana Compassion Center, was legal and that Defendants relied upon this representation when conducting day to day business. And under these circumstances, there is nothing that would alert a reasonable citizen that Kimball Township's representation was erroneous. Further, it stands to reason that Defendants would not have called DTF and invited law enforcement to their compassion center for an inspection unless Defendants believed in good faith that DNA Alternative Wellness Center was properly licensed and operating within the law. Therefore, because Defendants were reasonably and in good faith relying on a government agent's representation that the conduct in question was legal, basic principles of due process preclude prosecution in this case.
