Detournement Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Are the Secret Service guys not meant to really like Trump? The only time you ever hear much about them is when they get caught with hookers abroad so they probably have some sympathy for DTJ. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detournement Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 As far as Ivanka and Jared are concerned having a constant stream of folk doing a shite in your house would be an issue for me. I do a shite every day at work so realistically you could be looking at 30-40 Secret Service Shites a week if they are at home. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 It's going to be interesting to see how folk twist into knots in order to claim they aren't fascists, in the same way people bend over backwards to deflect accusations of racism. I wonder what the new "Muslim isn't a race" will be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotThePars Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 I missed the buried lead in that secret service article which is that someone left such a horrid shite in the Obamas toilet that they were banned from using it again. Genuinely amazing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love to see that palace they built too. Netanyahu is one of the most vile human beings walking the face of the earth. We're discussing fascism well he is definitely a real fascist, so nothing would surprise me from him. Didn't know that either though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 We could probably have a whole thread about rich b*****ds being mind-meltingly cheap. However, that Netanyahu thing sounds more like they're just enjoying the insult of making the foreign scullery maids scrub their soiled gussets. 1 minute ago, Granny Danger said: I wonder what the Rules Of Engagement will be for the National Guard on Inauguration Day.

welshbairn Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 (edited) 35 minutes ago, Carnoustie Young Guvnor said: Did not work Quote Israel’s Netanyahu brings his dirty laundry to Washington. Literally. By John Hudson September 23, 2020 at 8:28 p.m. GMT+1 Most politicians go to great lengths to conceal their dirty laundry. And then there’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Over the years, the Israeli leader has developed a reputation among the staff at the U.S. president’s guesthouse for bringing special cargo on his trips to Washington: bags and suitcases full of dirty laundry, according to U.S. officials familiar with the matter. The clothes are cleaned for the prime minister free of charge by the U.S. staff, a perk that is available to all foreign leaders but sparingly taken advantage of given the short stays of busy heads of state. “The Netanyahus are the only ones who bring actual suitcases of dirty laundry for us to clean,” said one U.S. official, who like others spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the details of a foreign leader’s visits. “After multiple trips, it became clear this was intentional.” Israeli officials denied that Netanyahu overuses his American hosts’ laundry services, calling the allegations “absurd,” but they acknowledged that he has been the target of laundry-related accusations in the past. In 2016, Netanyahu sued his own office and Israel’s attorney general in an effort to prevent the release of his laundry bills under the country’s freedom of information act. The judge sided with Netanyahu, and the details of his laundry bills remain secret pending an appeal in the Supreme Court. The relatively minor accusation joins a longer list of corruption allegations that have threatened the 70-year-old leader’s hold on power and triggered protests in Israel this month. Netanyahu was indicted in November in a corruption trial involving gifts from wealthy friends and allegations that he sought regulatory benefits for media magnates in return for positive coverage. He is accused of accepting nearly $200,000 worth of gifts from business executives including cases of champagne and boxes of cigars. The trial opened in May and is scheduled to resume in January. The Israeli Embassy in Washington issued a statement saying the laundry accusation was an attempt to overshadow the success of the normalization agreement that Israel, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates signed at the White House last week. “These groundless and absurd allegations are aimed at belittling Prime Minister Netanyahu’s monumental achievement in Tuesday’s historic peace summit brokered by President Trump at the White House,” the embassy said in a statement. The embassy added that Netanyahu’s laundry needs were relatively modest during his most recent trip. “On this visit, for example, there was no dry cleaning, only a couple shirts were laundered for the public meeting, and the Prime Minister’s suit and Mrs. Netanyahu’s dress were ironed also for the public meeting. Oh yes, a pair of pajamas that the Prime Minister wore on the 12 hour flight from Israel to Washington was also laundered,” the embassy statement said. Another U.S. official said Netanyahu’s recent visit did not include multiple suitcases of dirty laundry, unlike several instances in the past. The officials who confirmed the past uses of laundry bags included both political and career officials spanning the Trump and Obama administrations. The original controversy over Netanyahu’s laundry practices stems from recordings released in 2018 of his close former aide unearthed in the criminal trial against him. The aide, Nir Hefetz, said that Netanyahu’s wife, Sara, “does all kinds of maneuvering to hide all sorts of expenses.” “On every trip at least four or five suitcases come filled with laundry for dry cleaning, and I’m telling you that journalists have asked me about it and I’ve checked the bills. . . . Nothing appears in the bills, they somehow hid it,” Hefetz said. Netanyahu denies wrongdoing in the trial, describing it as a left-wing political witch hunt designed to remove a popularly elected leader. The new allegations offer one possible explanation for why no laundry expenses charged to the Israeli government were found. “What’s different about this account is that Netanyahu is now being accused of misusing another government’s resources for his dirty laundry — not just his own,” said Eliad Shraga, the founder of the Movement for Quality Government in Israel. Shraga said his organization took an interest in the laundry issue after reports that Netanyahu and his wife took 11 suitcases on a one-day trip to Portugal in December. Netanyahu’s office denied speculation that the suitcases were filled with dirty laundry, saying they included items he needed for his office work. In recent weeks, the prime minister’s residence has been the staging ground for weekly protests that have drawn tens of thousands of people over the corruption charges and his handling of the coronavirus pandemic amid a spike in cases. In an effort to control the outbreak, Israel put into force restrictions on movements and gatherings. The protests were exempt, but police announced new social distancing guidelines for demonstrators last week. Natan Sachs, an Israel expert at the Brookings Institution, said “the Netanyahus — who travel together even on diplomatic trips — are notorious in Israel for their reportedly extravagant habits.” Sachs noted that the signing of the agreement with Bahrain and the UAE was a “legacy” moment for Netanyahu, which he had worked toward for years. “The contrast of the historic achievement and the petty acts is remarkable, even tragic,” he said.
