    13 Chinese online scam centers in Madagascar shut down. Damn!

    The American DOJ can still do shit when it wants to. Now do Trump Crypto.

  2. The unsigned #IRS document posted by #ToddBlanche said that only #Trump, 2 of his sons & the #TrumpOrganization would be granted #immunity from audits, excluding a broader pool of Trump family members & their associates who appeared to be eligible for protection under the original #DOJ deal. Blanche also stipulated that their future tax returns could still be audited.

  3. #ToddBlanche posted 2 documents on social media on Sunday night∶ a signed memo in which he said that the #DOJ was formally rescinding an order that created the so-called “anti-weaponization fund” & an UNSIGNED‼️ statement in which the agency clarified the terms of the #IRS protections.

  4. #ToddBlanche, the acting US #AG, confirmed in writing [1 unsigned] on Sunday night that the #DOJ would abandon “elements” of the deal it struck with #Trump to “resolve” his lawsuit against the #IRS, conceding to demands from Republican senators who had threatened to block his nomination as attorney general.

    Three essays castigating Europe. The coda declines the exam. You cannot out-parasite the original parasite. Europe's real option: pre-Friedman capitalism, upgraded.

    US judge voids Trump's settlement with IRS

    A US judge on Monday voided #Trump's [totally illegal] #settlement with the #IRS ‌that gave him & his companies sweeping #tax protections & initially set up a nearly $1.8 billion government ​#SlushFund to pay victims of so-called ​government weaponization.

  7. Yes!

    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. #Trump & his family have spent decades aggressively avoiding #taxes…. The newly won ability to escape from #IRS examinations could be worth tens of millions of dollars∶ One audit, ongoing in the days before the new #immunity for Trump was announced, could have resulted in a bill from the government exceeding $100 million, NYT has reported. Other authorities have had questions, too∶ In 2022, the #TrumpOrganization was convicted of #TaxFraud in #NewYork.

  9. #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.

  10. #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.

  11. 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. When declining to commit to permanently scrapping the controversial $1.8 billion "anti-weaponization" #MAGASlushFund, #Trump claims he doesn’t know if the $1.8 billion fund is dead, & calls it ‘a beautiful thing’

  13. 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]

  14. 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”

  15. 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.

  16. 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.

  17. Why doesn't this lead to Donald Trump's impeachment already? Has the Overton window widened so much that our sensibilities have become dull to the fact that this obvious slush fund makes every American endlessly taxable? Will someone please go stop the wrecking ball that is currently in motion before it wreaks further havoc? reason.com/2026/05/21/trumps-c

  18. Because #Trump is a #criminal #rapist #fraudster who is a constant source of #misinformation, let’s all assume this obviously #illegal madness [hopefully to be struck down in court] is a distraction from something far worse that he is either currently doing or will soon come to light.

    Keep your eyes open.

  19. We now have a transaction that is corrupt self-dealing simply unheard of in United States history:

    Nonilex -- @Nonilex

    "This is a FOREVER thing!

    As part of the #settlement agreement, the #US is “forever barred & precluded” from examining or prosecuting #Trump, his sons & the #TrumpOrganization’s current #tax issues, according to the one-page document posted to the #DOJ’s website on Tuesday.

    "...the US is “forever barred & precluded” from examining or prosecuting Trump, his sons & the TrumpOrganization’s current #tax issues..."

    "forever barred"

    This is not "get out of jail free"

    It's nothing less than "continue your corruption for as much as you can steal, for as long as you can continue stealing it"

    Is there simply no way to control, to rein-in such obvious Trump Family corruption?

  21. [This is effing nuts. We KNOW #Trump cheated on his #taxes. Just look at the NY v #TrumpOrganization lawsuit where he was found liable for decades of #fraud.]

    In a one-page document signed by acting AG #ToddBlanche & quietly posted on the #DOJ website, officials vowed not to pursue any matters, including those involving Trump’s tax returns, that are currently pending.

  22. Dle mého názoru (DMN) se český režim snaží postavit na roveň režimu Rudých Khmérů, který zrušil majetek.

    "Nový zákon umožní zabavit podezřelý majetek. Podle odborníků hrozí zneužití" -- "právník varuje, že se do problémů mohou dostat i osoby, které se ničeho nezákonného nedopustily" -- "doma loni na podzim našli 80 milionů korun v hotovosti" -- "celoživotní úspory jeho dědečka a otce. Do banky je prý nikdy nedal, protože jeho děda zažil v 50. letech měnovou reformu a bankovním institucím tak obecně nevěřil"

    idnes.cz/zpravy/domaci/novy-za

    Cítím

    e x t r é m n ě s i l n é o p o v r ž e n í

    vůči českému režimu, když toto vidím.

    DMN plýtvavému, zkorumpovanému státu již nestací daně občanů na jeho rozhazování, tak začne občanům beztrestně loupit majetek prostřednictvím nového DMN kleptokratického zákona na frivolní loupeže majetku nepohodlným občanům.

    Dáš si peníze do banky? Ukradneme ti je na základě výmluvy AML/CFT. Necháš si je v hotovosti? Uloupíme ti je beztrestně frivolně a řekneme při tom magické slůvko "podezření z nabytí trestnou činností".

    "Putin podepsal zákon o zabavení majetku kritikům války" -- newsbox.cz/zpravy/putin-podeps

    "Kdo bude v Rusku kritizovat válku, přijde o peníze i majetek" -- "Putin podepsal zákon o konfiskaci majetku osob odsouzených za vyjádření proti válce rozpoutané Ruskem na Ukrajině" -- eurozpravy.cz/zahranicni/rozho

    "Situace se zhoršuje Nový zákon: Putin nyní vyvlastňuje kritiky války" -- "represe dosahují nového rozměru: disidenti mají přijít nejen o svobodu, ale i o majetek." -- krone.at/3251703

    V čem je teda přesně rozdíl mezi českým a ruským režimem?
