No ….just no …

This is a fake surely….

“A “job” in the Department of Justice” ????

I presume, if true, that it’s as inmate liaison in the “Penitentiary Division” ….having already done the work experience thingy ….
Because of course the guy who was sentenced to seven years in federal prison for wire fraud and aggravated identity theft got a Presidential pardon...and a job at the DOJ.

The “5 Eyes” pact was conceived to provide interchange of “intelligence” on emerging threats to an within its participants

Trump has shown a propensity to “weaponise” such intelligence for both domestic and international gain

The answer must be NO
Trump wants Australian data on migrant crime
Donald Trump’s demand for Australian data on migrant crime risks reviving discredited narratives that stigmatise migrants, distort evidence and do real harm to vulnerable communities.

First they commoditised healthcare;

Then they monetised that commodity ;

Then all but the wealthy were fucked
Our Healthcare system is so broken. Not only are premiums way too high, but the cost of care is out of control. We need to bring the costs down. Why does a Tyenol cost $50 when you're hospitalized?
