Trump greeting one of the delegates from the UAE for a photo op in Egypt. That particular delegate put $2 billion of his own money into Trump’s crypto currency. “They got a lot of cash. Unlimited cash,” Trump says. The $2 billion given to Trump was a bribe for AI chips, which Trump pocketed.

And is this all completely legal under our Constitution and US particular kind of "bribery capitalism"?
Do we need to actually Deal With this problem & build it back better?

Trump took a $10 million bribe from Egypt and was funded by laundered Russian money

How much do you wanna bet that Trump’s $100,000 watches

His crypto scam and NFTs

His $100 coins and $300 sneakers

His dark money superPACs

Are just another way of laundering foreign money?!

The entire incident is infuriating and terrifying. She’s a Latina woman who was working a service job. On her way home late at night, with her headphones in, she was detained for an hour by masked federal agents who wouldn’t give her their names.

Maria Greeley, 44, had just finished working a double shift at the Beach Bar on Ohio Street
earlier this month when she said she was surrounded by three federal agents who grabbed her, forced her hands behind her back and zip tied her.
Headphones in, Greeley had been focused on getting home to her two dogs for a walk.
Instead, she said she was detained by masked agents who did not answer when she asked for names. They questioned her for an hour, she said.

"Varyag" is a Project 1164 "Atlant" missile cruiser, part of the Russian Pacific Fleet. The ship was launched in 1983. The flagship of the Black Sea Fleet, the missile cruiser "Moskva," sunk by the Ukrainian Armed Forces at the beginning of the full-scale invasion, belongs to the same project.

The complete inability of the opposition to stop A.N.Y. of this is breathtaking --and can only mean the entire system is broken
& works to the will of the corrupt forever, there is no going back unless something New and Different is done which may involve actually ORGANIZING AN ARMED RESPONSE

The level of kleptocratic corruption in this regime is breathtaking, e.g.:

—Selling off Freddie Mac & Fannie Mae to big banks

—Bribes from ABC & CBS

—TikTok sale to Ellison

—Everything Qatar: the plane gift, the Idaho military base

—Whoever has bribed him by buying his scam meme coins

Why are there so few (none?) news stories about individual ICE agents themselves? Who they are, what motivates them, any moral dilemmas they face? Why aren’t protesters trying to get some to speak out?

Ghislane Maxwell is causing lockdowns at her new prison during which she gets to meet in the prison chapel with outside visitors. The WSJ says it isn’t clear who she met with but that she was smiling when she returned to her unit and when asked, said it had "gone well".
