Qatar gave Trump a $400M jet. Trump gave them a military facility on US soil.

The UAE bought $2B of Trump's stablecoin. Trump gave them access to rare AI chips.

Saudi Arabia invested $2B in Kushner's firm. Trump sold them $142B in arms.

If this isn't corruption, what is?

Mike Johnson, fake Christian, doesn't think a Republican congressman beating up his girlfriend is "really serious."

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 8h

Q: This has been reported for a while. Cory Mills was accused of beating a girlfriend in his DC apt. Are you concerned about these allegations?

JOHNSON: You have to ask Rep. Mills about that. He's been a faithful colleague. I don't know the details. Let's talk about things that are really serious

NATO Secretary Rutte on Russian incursions into EU airspace:

If a plane would pose a threat,we have the authorities to do,if necessary,the ultimate.But if the plane is not posing a threat,we are not going to shoot it down.Then we’ll gently guide it outside
We’re so much stronger than the Russians

Hey. Hi. Tom Homan is on camera taking a $50k bribe and no one knows where the money went. If this was any other administration, this would be non-stop on the news. Why are we normalizing this stuff?

Of great interest. Mechanics and funding aside, the geolocoations or the lack of them is a big hindrance for russian imperialism. Especially in ME/Africa. I very much hope Syrians won't make some kind of deal for a naval base (al-Sharaa is in Moscow today)

As protests in Georgia persist, Georgian Dream tightens the law:

Covering your face, blocking roads, or setting up protest structures can now mean 15–20 days in jail.
Repeat it within a year, and it’s a criminal offense — up to 1 year, or 2 years for multiple “offenses.”
