It's not the first time it's happened by a long shot. Romney talked about "shaking up the Etch a Sketch." And Kamala Harris said that her accusations of racism against Biden didn't matter because candidates just say whatever they have to in the primaries.

Mitt and Ann Romney earned more than $80 million in gross income from 2015 to 2017, according to three years of jointly filed tax returns released Thursday by the Republican candidate for U.S. Senate.

a politician that earns upwards of $500k per week can only be corrupt and taking payoffs, there is no other possible explanation.

He's a stockbroker and heads a successful investment firm called Bain Capital.

In case you hadn't heard, there's a lot of money in stonks.

i can remember when bernie madoff was known as a "successful stock broker".

unless you have performed a thorough audit of such a company like bain capital, you will never know the real bottom line.

So you agree that without a thorough audit, there's no basis for thinking Romney is corrupt.

no, absolutely not.. actually, i think that if there are not detailed financials that show EVERYTHING, i would assume the opposite.

I see. So to refute the thing you want to believe, you would require a thorough audit, but to confirm the thing you want to believe, all you need is an amateur video on YouTube.

you would require a thorough audit

yes, that is standard procedure.

Yes, I suppose it is rather standard to believe whatever the hell you want with minimal-to-no evidence, and yet require extraordinary evidence to change your mind.

That is indeed how most people's minds work.

in a criminal or civil case, the defendant is assumed innocent until proven guilty.

in an investment company, the company bears the burden of proof, they must show their numbers.

i am pretty sure that is how the ball is supposed to bounce.

Especially when you control the legal context that dictates stock price. And have access to inside information.

She will pretend to care about Americans and the border while serving the interests of globalists and Israel.

Ignore Nikki Haley. She's just on her period again. I know what you're thinking: "How does a 50 year old still get periods?" And my answer to that is: Shut the fuck up. It's obviously Rena Haley just using a disguise to pretend to be her mother. WAKE UP, SHEEPLE!
