He’ll learn real quick if all his money was taken away and he had to rely on public defenders instead of $1000/hr lawyers to bail his punk ass out when needed.

He could send it to me. I represent the Committee to Relieve Rich Kids of their Guilt. I will personally see to it that Thurston Jr. does not need to bear the burden of all that unearned wealth. I’ll take care of blowing all his trust fund on fast cars and faster women as well as indulgent luxuries that would tear at his socialist soul.

Relax, Junior. I got this. Have your guy call my guy.

no doubt they are all useful idiots who voted for Biden/Harris!

12 Aug: NYT: What Kamala Harris Means for Wall Street and Silicon Valley
On Monday, we wrote about how Mr. Biden was gaining traction among crucial donors in Big Finance and Big Tech. His pick for V.P. looks to have strengthened that support.
Wall Street is happy about the signal it sends...
Silicon Valley is happy about seeing a familiar face. Ms. Harris got her start in the Bay Area, and has been a fixture in fund-raising circles there for decades...

20 Oct updated 9 Nov: NYT: The Big Role That Big Donors Still Play, Quietly, for Joe Biden
The Biden campaign has trumpeted its success with small donations, but in the last six months it has raised almost $200 million from donors who gave at least $100,000. As sums have grown, transparency has diminished.
By Shane Goldmacher; Isabella Grullón Paz and Rachel Shorey contributed reporting
One Monday evening last month, Hillary Clinton and Senator Kamala Harris, and two actors who portrayed them on “Saturday Night Live,” Amy Poehler and Maya Rudolph, gathered for a virtual fund-raiser benefiting the Biden campaign. By all accounts, the livestream was a smashing success: about 100,000 people watched and donated. The event raised $4.4 million.
That same night, Joseph R. Biden Jr. beamed into a more intimate affair of fewer than two dozen people: a $500,000-per-ticket fund-raiser hosted by the billionaire financier Haim Saban. It raised even more: $4.5 million...

From Hollywood to Silicon Valley to Wall Street, Mr. Biden’s campaign has aggressively courted the megadonor class. It has raised almost $200 million from donors who gave at least $100,000 to his joint operations with the Democratic Party in the last six months — about twice as much as President Trump raised from six-figure donors in that time, according to an analysis of new federal records.As the size of checks has grown, the Biden campaign has become less transparent, declining so far to disclose the names of its most influential fund-raisers, people known as bundlers who gather large checks from friends and business associates and then deliver them to the campaign.

Mr. Biden legally must disclose the contributors themselves. And his donor roll includes some of the wealthiest and most prominent Americans: Jeffrey Katzenberg, the Hollywood producer, and his wife, Marilyn Katzenberg, gave $1.4 million. Sean Parker, the tech entrepreneur, and his wife, Alexandra Lenas, gave $1.2 million. And Reed Hastings, the Netflix chief executive, and his wife, Patty Ann Quillin, gave $1.4 million.. Top executives with investment, private equity and venture capital firms like Blackstone, Bain Capital, Kleiner Perkins and Warburg Pincus all contributed handsomely...

“Joe Biden says this is ‘Scranton versus Park Avenue’ but then he’s raising hundreds of millions of dollars from the Park Avenue types,” said Tyson Brody, a former research director for Senator Bernie Sanders who is supporting Mr. Biden this fall but wants to see less influence for wealthy donors...

“It’s troubling that the public is in the dark about these people because they are often promoted to ambassadorships, or other prominent positions in the administration or receive government contracts,” said Michael Beckel, an investigator and research director for Issue One, a group that pushes for campaign-finance transparency...

24 Aug: CNBC: Kamala Harris’ allies in the business world kick off fundraising blitz for Biden campaign
by Brian Schwartz
Sen. Kamala Harris’ formidable fundraising machine is kicking into high gear now that she is on the ticket with Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden.
Since Biden named Harris as his running mate, her associates in the business world have been getting calls from new donors, according to people familiar with direct knowledge of the matter.
Harris is slated to be featured in a virtual fundraiser headed by several Hollywood titans, including J.J. Abrams and Ryan Murphy...

Harris has built strong relationships with business leaders from Wall Street to Hollywood throughout her political career, including when she ran against Biden and others during the Democratic presidential primaries...
Harris’ allies in real estate and on Wall Street, who cheered her selection as Biden’s running mate, are moving ahead with events starting this week.

Brad Karp, chairman of law firm Paul, Weiss, is likely to host a few events over the course of the next month, another person said. Karp has represented Citigroup, JPMorgan, Bank of America, Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs and Wells Fargo, according to the firm’s website...

Alicia Goldstein, a senior managing director at real estate investment firm HFZ Capital Group, and Deborah Harmon, chief executive officer of Artemis Real Estate Partners, are helping to organize a virtual event on Friday featuring Harris, the people said. Tickets range from $1,000 to $200,000, with the virtual gathering expected to reel in millions, the people added. Six-figure checks go to Biden and his joint fundraising committees, which also raise money for the Democratic National Committee as well as state parties...

Far be for me to say I couldn’t afford to shed a few pounds, but this girl could start her quest by maybe buying a little less food. Or buy it and give it those who need it. I don’t think this adopted narcissist really needs to continue food consumption at her her current rate.

'Lately, Sam Jacobs has been having a lot of conversations with his family’s lawyers. He’s trying to gain access to more of his $30 million trust fund. At 25, he’s hit the age when many heirs can blow their money on harebrained businesses or a stable of sports cars. He doesn’t want to do that, but by wealth management standards, his plan is just as bad. He wants to give it all away.'

OK, Butt Whiskers, gimme a couple hundred thou and watch me work some magic.

Another Colin Kaepernick. Adopted by well to do white parents.

They clearly resent their parents. But if “privileged white” people don’t adopt them, they are also bad people.

Leftists are the lose-lose losers.

It's not a problem that I've ever faced but could his parents remove the money from his trust fund?

Always amazes me that the parents of idiots like this will still keep their kids as heirs. I wouldn’t give a dime to my kids if I thought they believed in socialism or just didn’t have the maturity to handle money. But maybe his parents don’t want him to have any if he’s lawyering up to figure out how to access it?

He just wants to delude himself into thinking he’s a generous person by spending money he didn’t earn.
