  1. A local high school had an athletic director who embezzled money. I thought of all the fund raisers the school had for raising money for sports uniforms, equipment, etc. In reality, the fund raisers were a scheme for the athletic director to skim money off the top for his own criminal enterprise. I always wondered if that man just “saw an opportunity” and took advantage of it (as there was no accounting oversight), or if he was a sort of predator who sought out a type of job where he could take advantage . . . the worst part was when a neighbor said, “He was a really nice guy” (whatever that means)

    1. Troll.
      Give it a rest.
      This repetitive political horsesh*t has no place on this website.
      It will affect nobody but the already-deluded, and will convince no-one of reasonable intelligence.

      1. Not a snowball’s chance in Hell.

        Or in modern day lingo, ‘Not a piece of crack or parmesan cheese chance of lasting longer than 5 minutes in Hunter’s bedroom!’

        Woke corporations with their antics of “we know what is best” over the elected rtepresentatives, who were voted in by the people, to pass bills they agree with, is who you have to thank for your angst for the so called trolls. Having the woke CEO’s keeping in good graces with the social justice woke amongst us and the Facebook and Twitter bot world that brought this upon themselves and because of THAT, it is why it filters down to where ever political horseshit needs to reside. Even here. Maybe those corporations should mind their own damn business!

        Only people with character don’t steal elections, be you Republican or Democratic. And the Biden’s have no character. They are morally vacant and a criminal family full of grifters making lots of money under the guise of public service!

      2. Hunter is a Mac related story. He keeps losing MacBook Pros full of his home made pornography. Sounds like the kind of guy Hillary or the DNC would hire as an IT consultant. “Give it a rest,” indeed. This Apple doesn’t fall far from the crooked tree.

        To protect his dirty drug addict son, Biden used his position to threaten the Ukraine. But we just “gave it a rest.” He even admits it. It’s time to stop giving it a rest with these people.

      1. Grizzmick, you really are a moronnnnnn! NYT just verified Hunter’s laptop is real. Hunter Biden – his name starts with a silent C.

        1. You troll made the claim, you back it up.

          If laws were broken, surely your boss would have filed charges. Doesn’t orange idiot have the best lawyers?

          Since you’re too facking lazy to bring any facts, please save yourself the embarrassment of showing your incessant stupidity day after day after day on trump daily troll newz.

    2. Hunter Trump? illegitimate offspring from the orange dotard, lead tweeter of the morally and fiscally bankrupt Drumph clan, the most narcissistic nepotistic and corrupt reject from Queens since Rap was marketed?

      might think twice about throwing stones from your glass house, troll.
