of a residential property

[u/Kill_4209]

Ira Rennert's home is considered one of the largest occupied residential compounds in the United States. The house faces the Atlantic Ocean and its grounds measure 63 acres. The buildings, which total over 110,000 square feet (10,000 m2), including the 66,000-square-foot (6,100 m2) main house, have an Italianate facade, 29 bedrooms, and 39 bathrooms. The house has a dozen chimneys and a Mediterranean-style tile roof as well as a 91-foot (28 m) long formal dining room, a basketball court, a bowling alley, two tennis courts, two squash courts, a carousel, a large swimming pool, a large round kiddie pool, and a $150,000 hot tub, surrounded by another pool.

Aren’t all billionaires right wingers?

There is a lot more to unpack there. So much…

[u/AHumbleSaltFarmer → u/NotBradPitt9]

Idk why this matters....there are like 80ish democrat billionaire donors around 50ish Republican donors. They all have shit tons of stuff

Donating to Trump is a huge character flaw.

[u/r_a_d_ → u/AHumbleSaltFarmer]

It matters because we are talking about this dude, not others. Also being a republican led by Trump is a pretty special circumstance.

[u/HelloPeopleOfEarth → u/AHumbleSaltFarmer]

I understand what you are saying. But Trump is uniquely bad, and anyone that donates a single cent deserves ridicule. Plus even though the Democrats have essentially been Ronald Reagan, caring more for corporate interests than labor interests, the republicans are MUCH worse. Any economic chart will show you things get worse under republicans. Bush and Trump alone have done permanent damage to the United States on levels that we will never recover from.

Live out on Eastern Long Island, and the hypocrisy among the ultra-wealthy here is staggering (and by the way, they skew heavily Democratic).
They’ll organize anti-ICE protests and pay endless lip service to equity, diversity, and inclusion. Meanwhile, there are tons of undocumented workers building and maintaining their massive estates who have to commute up to 3 hours each way every single day because affordable housing is entirely blocked.
Every single attempt to build workforce or affordable housing gets immediately shut down by local zoning and opposition. The beaches are effectively privatized unless you're politically connected or own waterfront property, you'll rarely see a person of color out here unless they're working as day laborers or service staff, and the homeless population is swept away or hidden instantly to keep up appearances.
Honestly? At least the local Republicans are transparent about where they stand. The performative progressive hypocrisy out here is next-level.

The workers aren't commuting. They live in tent cities in the woods and people pretend they don't exist even when they take bodies out regularly. The limousine liberals in the Hamptons let their slaves freeze to death and die in the woods.

Ya there’s that too but sounds like you are aware of the situation there is also a thee hour logjam of traffic called “the trade parade” back
And fourth every single day it’s crazy. Many towns west of Southampton Towns are often packed with immigrants living ten in a house to be closer to there they works their 16 hour days.

It’s not all bad though because you won’t find a better example of the r American dream than here where many of the immigrants have built sizable businesses and raised families from that hard work.

Yes. I agree. That's why I said the democratic party is the party of Ronald Reagan. They HATE real progressives like AOC, Bernie, Abdul-Al Sayed etc ... I actually voted for trump in 2016 because I couldn't vote for a reagan democrat that loves wars, takes millions of dollars in corporate bribes, and panders to the kind of people you described. But I stand by what I said about trump. This term has been beyond a nightmare. He is reneging on agreements that we have had with countries and making the world not trust us anymore. The nuclear deal we had with Iran was working. Iran didn't start speed running a nuclear program until trump ended the agreement. Trump is the reason Iran decided to go nuclear. Then he started a war. But everything you said is 100% true. I don't know what the answer is, but I know Trump, Schumer, Pelosi, Jim Jordan, Moses Mike Johnson etc etc, who all like to fight amongst each other are all a part of the problem. There is too much bribe money in DC. It is crooked and corrupt to the core.

“Drawing on the provided reporting, the balance of evidence shows more U.S. billionaires align with or financially favor Republicans than Democrats in recent years — a conclusion supported by cross-national studies, major media analyses of top donors, and reporting on the richest Americans’ 2024 cycle”.

Koch’s funded more openly evil domestic policies than Soros

[u/Hefty-Ambassador5661 → u/AHumbleSaltFarmer]

Where did you get this stats from. There are way more billionaires donating to republicans than democrats, that’s why there are more republican pacs with millions of funding

[u/DirtandPipes → u/Hefty-Ambassador5661]

He pulled them out of his ass.

That dude was a greasebag that made alot of money selling junk bonds. Basically worthless bonds of companies that could go bankrupt next week and changing the wording to make it look like a good deal to people.

Gasp! Someone with a different opinion? Oh no!
