I was a White House ethics lawyer.
I used to advise people not to even accept a free cup of coffee from someone who had interests before them. And staff followed those rules.
I can’t even find the words to describe the scale of Trump’s corruption here.

Foreign countries are bribing our president to sell out the American people.
Trump family businesses made $187 MILLION from this deal, and just months later he gave the UAE some of our most top-secret AI tech.
They are selling our national security to the highest bidder.

Jeg har ikke behov for å unnskylde Jagland eller noen andre, men jeg hadde blitt 0% overraska om det hadde vist seg at the current administration hadde fylt på med litt ekstramateriale fra vår venn LLM.

En ting som alle, særlig journalister, må ha _veldig_ tydelig for seg:
De kan si "jeg burde sjekka bedra" så mye de bare vil, men alle disse folka visste nøyaktig hvor ille det var at de har menga seg med Epstein. Det veit vi fordi de stadig har ljugd om det.

Vennlig påminner om at det fortsatt er verdens våteste sokk, Donald Trump, som bestemmer hva som frigis og ikke av Epstein sin skittentøysvask.
Når han gir bort de pressmidlene vi HAR sett helt gratis, kan vi jo se for oss hva han holder igjen og heller bruker til utpressing på bakrommet.

🇬🇪Georgia is sliding into a legal dictatorship. Not overnight. Step by step. Each protest is met with a new tailored law.
Each law designed to exhaust, criminalize, and isolate society until resistance itself becomes illegal.

Før NRK tar innover seg at Trump opptrer som en mafiaboss hvis eneste motiv er å berike seg selv og slippe unna med det, så vil de fortsatt svikte sitt samfunnsoppdrag. Så enkelt er det. Falsk balanse slik de driver med nå, er journalistikkens verste fiende. Behagelig for avsender, men ødeleggende.

IMO the president should not be allowed to sic his own lawyers against government lawyers who at this point are also just his lawyers in order to steal the annual GDP of a small country from American taxpayers.
Well!
President Trump has filed a lawsuit against the IRS, in which he demands that the IRS, which he as president controls, pay him $10 billion.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

This is an excellent analogy, because my recollection from grade school is that the pen on the right looks fun and exciting, and then you play with it for a few minutes and realize it's not actually useful for anything and in fact makes some tasks more cumbersome, and never think about it again.
yeah, just out of interest, how many people choose the pen on the right for real work or art? See a lot of them in professional workplaces, do you?
