  1. My country is also qualified for the following

    Kleptocracy

    The corrupt people running SR also steal all resources of the country blind, leaving absolutely nothing for the population.
    Minimum wage, Social Security in comparison to a minister salary is so large in difference it is laughable

    Quotes

    Kleptocrats abuse the freedoms found in Western countries by transferring funds out of a kleptocracy and into Western jurisdictions for money laundering and asset security. Since 2011, more than $1 trillion has left developing countries annually in illicit financial outflows. A 2016 study found that $12 trillion had been siphoned out of developing economies.[15] Western professional services providers are often taken advantage of by exploiting legal and financial loopholes in the West to facilitate transnational money laundering.[16][17] The kleptocratic financial system typically comprises four steps according to one opinion.[18]

    Federal judge indefinitely blocks Trump’s $1.8 billion payout #SlushFund
    
US District Judge Leonie M. Brinkema said the government has not provided “absolute certainty” it won’t try to resurrect the fund in the future.

  8. #Impotent #Senate OKs $70B #immigration bill after rejecting efforts to permanently ban #Trump #SlushFund

    The Senate passed legislation to fund Trump’s immigration enforcement agencies early Friday, after weeks of delays & fierce backlash to an unrelated $1.776 billion settlement fund that threatened to derail the bill.

  9. #Republicans appear to be in a holding pattern while they figure out how to address the issue of the $1.8 billion #SlushFund. We are still waiting on votes from 3 Republicans: #BillCassidy of Louisiana, #JonHusted of Ohio & #DanSullivan of Alaska.

    Husted & Sullivan are both up for re-election. Cassidy recenty lost his primary to a Trump-backed challenger.

  10. Senator #SusanCollins, Republican of Maine, just voted for Schumer’s motion, the first #Republican to vote “yes.”

    This motion can still fail if three Republicans vote for it, if everyone is voting. Collins is up for re-election in a critical & competitive state.

    Senator #ThomTillis, who voted no, is not running for re-election.

  12. During the #House #Appropriations Committee hearing on Tuesday, #Democrats repeatedly requested that #ToddBlanche commit in writing to rescinding the order creating the weaponization #SlushFund.

    “I’m not committing to putting anything in writing,” he said, saying only that he would abide by his word.

    [okay, so obvious bullshit]

  13. Don’t take the bait. As soon as #Republicans pass the $72 billion bill to fund #ICE & #CBP operations, #Trump will restart the #MAGASlushFund. He cannot be trusted. Learn already!

    “Trump administration signals to GOP leaders it will drop a $1.8 billion ‘anti-weaponization’ fund, but the president has yet to weigh in publicly”

  14. She also noted that only #ToddBlanche signed the tax audit provision. The separate, 9-page agreement laying out the $1.8 billion #SlushFund was signed by Woodward & Frank Bisignano, who is serving as the “chief executive officer of the #IRS”, a newly created role [created by the #Trump admin in October 2025] that is not subject to #Senate confirmation.

  15. After #Trump “withdrew” the suit, senior #DOJ officials released a pair of extraordinary agreements that settled the case by establishing a $1.8 billion #SlushFund to compensate people who claimed they were victims of government “weaponization” by Democrats.

    The deal also conferred extremely lucrative tax benefits on Trump, his family & his businesses.

  16. USA circa 2026: A dangerous mix of #Kleptocracy, #Idiocracy, and #Plutocracy:

    "US tax authorities will be barred from pursuing claims against Donald Trump, his eldest sons and the Trump Organization under an agreement to halt the president’s $10bn lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service.

    The pledge by the Department of Justice on Tuesday came a day after Trump agreed to settle his lawsuit against the IRS in exchange for the US government launching a $1.8bn fund for victims of alleged “lawfare”.

    “The United States RELEASES, WAIVES, ACQUITS, and FOREVER DISCHARGES each of the Plaintiffs from, and is hereby FOREVER BARRED and PRECLUDED from prosecuting or pursuing, any and all claims,” wrote acting attorney-general Todd Blanche in a one-page document released on Tuesday, in relation to the case brought in January by Trump, his sons Donald Trump Jr and Eric Trump, and the Trump Organization.

    A DoJ spokesperson told the FT that the decision to bar the IRS from pursuing claims against Trump was “only with respect to any existing audits”.

    “There would be little point in settling several significant claims if either party could simply turn around and seek to initiate more adverse claims that could have been pursued previously,” added the spokesperson."

  17. “The entities doing crypto financing through these platforms are the very ones that the president is trying to defeat in the war,” Reed said.

    The admin denies that Trump’s businesses pose any conflict of interest….

    A spox for #WorldLibertyFinancial said the company has no relationship with Nobitex & follows #US #law. “World Liberty does not own, operate, or control Tron in any way, & has no authority over transactions conducted on it.”

  18. #Iran money has kept moving through those 2 digital ledgers during the #US & #Israel #war against the Islamic Republic.

    Sun & #Binance, the #crypto exchange owned by Zhao, are both prominent backers of #WorldLibertyFinancial, the crypto firm co-founded by #Trump & his family.

    There’s no suggestion that the Trump family knew of #Nobitex’s use of #Tron & #BNBChain [🙄].

  19. How Trump’s #crypto venture & Iran’s top exchange tapped into the same industry networks

    Iran’s #Nobitex has processed at least $2.3 billion through #Tron & #BNBChain, blockchain ledgers started by backers of the #Trump family’s #WorldLibertyFinancial. The flows underscore the awkward juxtaposition of Trump’s business dealings & the #US presidency.

  20. “Not even a little bit,” #Trump said.

    “I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation,” Trump continued, a stunningly frank admission that came after weeks spent either downplaying the conflict’s economic toll or simply asking Americans to be patient. His only consideration, Trump said, was preventing Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon: “That’s all.”

  22. Fucksake! Even distant vassal state Australia has thrown its Akubra into the Israeli ring of fire, with its pusillanimous prime minister announcing he will send surveillance aircraft, air-to-air missiles and personnel to “protect and defend” civilians.
    But not Iranian civilians, obviously. And certainly not Iranian schoolgirls.

  23. "A cryptocurrency firm run by the billionaire Winklevoss twins was facing a punishing federal lawsuit. After Donald J. Trump returned to the White House, the Securities and Exchange Commission moved to freeze the case.

    The S.E.C. had also sued Binance, the world’s largest crypto exchange, but then dropped the case altogether under the new administration.

    And after a yearslong legal fight with Ripple Labs, the new S.E.C. tried to reduce a court-ordered penalty against the crypto firm, seeking to soften the blow of the punishment.

    The agency’s pullback from these cases illustrated a wide-ranging transformation in the federal government’s treatment of the crypto industry during President Trump’s second term, a New York Times investigation has found.

    It is unheard-of for the agency to retreat from a swath of lawsuits against a single industry. And yet, The Times found that the S.E.C. had eased up on more than 60 percent of the crypto cases that were ongoing when Mr. Trump returned to the White House, moving to pause litigation, lessen penalties or outright dismiss the cases.

    The dismissals were particularly unusual, The Times found. Under Mr. Trump, S.E.C. dismissals came at a far higher rate for crypto firms than other cases.

    And although the particulars of the crypto lawsuits differed, many of these firms had something in common: financial ties to Mr. Trump, the self-described crypto president."

  24. On Feb. 5, #Trump’s #DOJ said it was closing the investigation into the diary. Ms. Fago & Ms. Walczak were not charged, nor was anyone from #ProjectVeritas.

    In the meantime, a #pardon application was submitted on Mr. Walczak’s behalf. It suggested that Donald Trump Jr., as well as Ms. Guilfoyle & other Trump allies, supported his clemency.

  25. Kurlander & Harris would later plead #guilty, admitting to conspiring to steal, transport & sell the diary to #ProjectVeritas. Ms. Harris was sentenced to one month in prison. Mr. Kurlander is scheduled to be sentenced next month.

    When #Trump won the presidency for a second time, it offered hope to Project Veritas, Ms. Fago & Mr. Walczak.

  26. The #FBI did not retrieve the diary [because it was stolen FFS]. Instead, Kurlander & Harris entered negotiations to provide it to #ProjectVeritas, a #Trump-allied undercover *media* group [foumd in a court to not be media] that had been tipped to the diary’s existence by Stephanie Walczak, Ms. Fago’s daughter.

  27. #Trump said he doesn’t know #TrevorMilton but was told that the way Milton was treated by the justice system was “very unfair.”

    “And they say the thing that he did wrong was he was one of the first people that supported a gentleman named Donald Trump for president,” Trump said. 🤮🤮🤮

    Trump also said he acted after receiving some “fantastic recommendations”about Milton.[💰]

  28. At 3 pro-#Trump dinners organized by #Musk & the #billionaire investor #NelsonPeltz over the course of 2024, Musk touted the need for a smaller government but struggled to offer specific ideas.

    At the time, he was infuriated by #Biden & what he saw as deliberate efforts by the admin to harm his businesses #Tesla & #SpaceX.

    …In the months that followed, he would plow almost $300M into efforts to re-elect Trump.
