  1. The Son of Former #SupremeCourt Justice Anthony Kennedy Helped #Trump Secure Loans at #DeutscheBank

    by Jerry Lambe, Oct 28th, 2020

    "The son of former U.S. Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy helped #DonaldTrump in 2005 secure nearly $700 million in loans to construct a skyscraper in Chicago, despite Trump’s reputation for defaulting on business loans, the New York Times reported on Tuesday evening.

    "According to the report, Justin Kennedy, who ran the German bank’s commercial real estate team and was close with the president’s daughter #IvankaTrump and her husband #JaredKushner, was willing to overlook Trump’s shoddy history as a debtor, getting the future president to personally guarantee $40 million of the loan. Both Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump currently work in the White House.

    "The Times reported that Trump was able to convince Kennedy and other top executives that 'the Chicago development was a guaranteed moneymaker,' and further signaled 'the Trump family’s commitment to the project' by informing the bank that Ivanka would be in charge of the operation.

    "#JustinKennedy’s role in helping to breathe life into Trump’s business empire before he was president has continued to breed rumors and conspiracies about the alleged
    'White House charm offensive' carried out by the Trump family to help convince #JusticeKennedy to retire and make way for #JusticeBrettKavanaugh’s appointment to the bench.

    "In 'Dark Towers: Deutsche Bank, Donald Trump and an Epic Trail of Destruction,' finance editor of the New York Times David Enrich described how Justin Kennedy was 'drawn to Trump’s risk-taking and glamour' while he was shepherding lucrative loans to Trump’s private businesses, even after the bank’s clients took massive losses when Trump’s Atlantic City casinos went bankrupt. After Trump’s election, the family reportedly set their sights on persuading Justice Kennedy to step down so the president could appoint a second justice to the bench."

    #SupremeCourt justices met with leader of #homophobic #HateGroup ahead of judgements on landmark #LGBTQ rights cases

    Before announcing their judgement on three critical #LGBT+ rights cases, #USSupremeCourt justices #BrettKavanaugh and #SamuelAlito chose to meet with the leader of a notorious anti-LGBT+ hate group.

    "#Kavanaugh and #Alito met with Brian Brown, who is the co-founder of the National Organisation for Marriage (#NOM) and the president of the World Congress of Families (#WCF).

    "Both groups actively campaign against basic LGBT+ rights in the US and beyond. Brown himself has long organised against LGBT+ communities, promoted harmful laws and emboldened other hate groups and extremists.

    "Recently, he boasted of his close relationship with autocratic Hungarian prime minister #ViktorOrbán and met with activists in #TbilisiGeorgia, to praise them as 'men of faith' after threats of extreme violence led to #TbilisiPride being cancelled.

    "Worryingly, the two Supreme Court judges seemed to indicate which side they’re likely to be on as they proudly posed for a photo alongside Brown on Tuesday, October 29.

    "Although the tweet doesn’t state what the meeting was for, it was probably in connection to a major brief NOM has just filed with the US Supreme Court.

    "According to NOM’s website, the brief is 'urging #SCOTUS to protect people of faith from governmental discrimination because of their belief that marriage is the union of one man and one woman'.

    "This directly relates to the cases currently being considered by the Supreme Court, which will determine whether LGBT+ people are covered by existing federal laws that protect against discrimination.

    "It’s not the first time Brian Brown and NOM have tried to pressure the Supreme Court on LGBT+ rights – in 2010, NOM was involved in successful efforts to oust three #Iowa Supreme Court judges who had ruled in favour of #SameSex marriage in the state.

    "A day after being pictured with the Supreme Court justices, Brown was in #Ghana for a two-day conference hosted by the WCF, where he and other #AntiGay extremists sought to influence African political and religious leaders against LGBT+ rights.

    "The conference was strongly condemned by the #HumanRightsCampaign for its attempts to 'further endanger #LGBTQ people, women and others in Ghana and throughout the world'.

    "Speakers at the conference are said to have advocated for the adoption of public policies supporting so-called '#ConversionTherapy' and an understanding of LGBT+ people as 'deviant.'

    "'We urge allies to help us shine a spotlight on the group’s hateful agenda and hold the World Congress of Families accountable by sharing news on social media about the group’s harmful messages and amplifying the positive work of local LGBTQ communities and their allies,' the #HRC warned."
