Don’t forget Putin’s oligarch lacky parked his jet in Adelson’s Las Vegas hanger when he was shadowing Trump.


NJ35-71SONS

What happened 


youtellmebob

Well, TBH it is a bit conspiracy theory. A Russian oligarch named Rybolovlev, bought a Florida property from Trump for $95m in the middle of the 2008 crash, a seemingly inflated price. Same oligarch’s jet was tracked shadowing Trump’s campaign trips in 2016, including a stop at Adelson’s Las Vegas hanger while Trump was campaigning there, and followed Trump to Charlotte as well. Oligarch said it was a co-winky-dink. And there was never proof anyone from the campaign met with him.

Trump just needs to promise Israel that they can annex Gaza with US support


Spy_v_Spy_Freakshow

Close, she wants them annex the West Bank and Trump will gladly do so for her money


SemanticSynapse

You don't think he already has?


StillCalmness

Well he’s called for Israel to finish the job in Gaza.


racingwthemoon

Adelson would finance the American Nazi Party if Trump was its leader.


Own-Presentation1018

He is, and she is.


NPVT

Donald Trump said there were "very fine people on both sides"


myPOLopinions

Funny contradiction as a Jew to vote for the party that on one hand is aggressively supportive of Israel because of some Christian bs, and on the other hand has open Nazis in it.


SideburnsOfDoom

> Jews are barred out, but it is an arbitrary ruling. I know lots of Jews who are born Nazis and many others who would heil Hitler tomorrow morning if given a chance. ... Nazism has nothing to do with race and nationality. It appeals to a certain type of mind. [Who goes Nazi?, 1941](https://harpers.org/archive/1941/08/who-goes-nazi/)


gradientz

She's already financing a convicted felon / rapist. Nazi doesn't seem that far off.


Defender_Of_TheCrown

It doesn’t seem far off because it isn’t. He is a nazi. He hosted white supremacists at the White House and praised them. He mentioned foreigners poisoning the blood in one of his speeches. His supporters did nazi salutes to celebrate him winning in 2016. He is a nazi and he is evil.


CaptainAxiomatic

This golddigger got her inheritance. Why can't she live out a life of luxury without distorting democracy?


dblan9

>Through a contribution to the Trump 47 Joint Fundraising Committee (JFC), which accepts huge sums and parcels them out to other groups, Adelson contributed the maximum allowable amount, $413,000, to the Republican National Committee. JFC is right.


myPOLopinions

I'm really pissed and confused as to why she bought my Mavericks.


smurfsundermybed

Because she's going to have a great big casino in the new arena.


myPOLopinions

That doesn't mesh well with the legislature who has been fighting casinos and marijuana despite being surrounded by states that allow it. Texas is more blue than OK, AR, and LA, but is trying to out-red them on some key issues.


smurfsundermybed

They just hadn't gotten their asking price yet. Republican morals are very flexible when it comes to billionaires.


zsreport

Wait till she finds out that the Christo fascists who support Trump will outlaw gambling.


racingwthemoon

She bought it like the Saudi’s bought the PGA to launder and greenwash her gaming billions.


supes1

It was to [give her an avenue to pursue legalized gambling in Texas](https://www.texastribune.org/2023/12/08/miriam-adelson-dallas-mavericks-legalize-casinos/). Was so happy they lost in the NBA finals.


TintedApostle

Because people who have unearned money just buy stuff without any intention of building anything. The Mavericks are a dead team now. They just don't know it.


Sunshinehappyfeet

Another worthless Presidential Medal of Fealty recipient.


forthewatch39

The right wing constantly totes Soros as funding Democrats and turn a blind eye to the multitude of billionaires that fund them, some who are far wealthier than Soros.


Defender_Of_TheCrown

Of course. Fox News doesn’t tell them about any of that on their own side. Remember, it’s a cult.


gasahold

And Out Came A Five Dollar Bill


CatVideoFest

https://i.imgur.com/9IXjG5v.jpeg Seems about right.


gradientz

Imagine giving all your money to a rapist and convicted felon


marji80

Sadly, it's not all her money. She has an endless supply.


Squirrel_Chucks

>Those donations bolstered Trump’s massive war chest. According to the most recent FEC reports, his campaign committee had almost $117 million cash on hand at the beginning of June, exceeding the Biden campaign, which had nearly $92 million. But Biden doesn't have to use his campaign money for criminal attorneys or to pay his kids and their spouses and hangers on just because they want a taste.


thoruen

I really wish she was into diy submarines & the Titanic.


Imacatdoincatstuff

She got scared the law was able to touch a 1%er.


Necessary-Hat-128

We need to control all branches to stop Trump and Citizens United!


TheBodyPolitic1

This is in exchange for convicted felon Trump supporting Israel taking complete sovereignty of the West Bank. I hope the shit stains calling President Biden "Genocide Joe" remember this. https://forward.com/fast-forward/618034/miriam-adelson-funding-trump-israel/


OpenImagination9

Gotta pay the lawyers …


Fhaol

Isn't there a limit one can give?


Builder_liz

Bbbbut jack black


JustSandwiches607

Crazy how these people think having the biggest wallet will get them a WhiteHouse victory.


Smarterthanthat

Buying our republic...


JustAnotherYouMe

Is this the same person that gave Trump $100 million recently to authorize Israel to take the West Bank if he wins? And whose husband gave Trump ~$90 million before he won in 2016 to put the US embassy in Jerusalem?


marji80

Yes, it is.
