  5. CW: "Appy for insider trading now, only 100 Grant!" This is unheard of: a president who actively manipulates stock trade, and openly offers to take bribes... no... wants to force traders to pay him for unfair advantages 😲
    "Appy for insider trading now, only 100 Grant!"

    This is unheard of: a president who actively manipulates stock trade, and openly offers to take bribes... no... wants to force traders to pay him for unfair advantages 😲

    Sherman and other experts note that the Constitution’s emoluments clauses, designed to thwart corruption, would not apply in this case. They bar federal officials from accepting gifts from foreign governments without congressional approval, and the president from receiving gifts from states.


    You mean, like, an aircraft? That worked out well, didn't it..? 🤦

    You have become a banana republic, US, you have elected a convicted felon for a second time and are now left to see how he defiles your society, your nation, its laws and its standing in the rest of the world.

  8. As we look back on Week 76 of this ongoing exercise in national #humiliation, there is really only one place to begin.

    #Donald’s brand new Air Force One.

    Because nothing says “America First” quite like accepting what is essentially a $400 million gift, otherwise known as a #bribe, from the government of #Qatar.

    Who among us hasn’t received a foreign government jet worth hundreds of millions of dollars?

    Certainly no American president has.

  14. For any #Americans following me I want to make clear that you ALREADY paid #Trump's #IranWar #reparations #bribe through the US Treasury the moment Trump autopened the 1st #MOU. Taxpayer money was already wired to Iran, at least half the Trump guaranteed $300 Billion "deal" & more in sanctions relief up front. Trump's Admin is also trying to dictate permanent IRS "immunity" to his entire family, so Trumps won't pay those or any taxes.

  15. A quotation from Euripides

    MEDEA:                      They say the gods themselves
       Are moved by gifts, and gold does more with men than words.

       Χρυσὸς δὲ κρείσσων μυρίων λόγων βροτοῖς.

    Another slide also offered the government a sweetener [#bribe]: If prosecutors dropped the charges, Adani would be willing to invest $10 billion in the US #economy & create 15,000 jobs….
