Honoring #Labor

Something Biden was all about. No matter what else, he was of & for 'the people' - workers, laborers, families.

Trump? Labor is for the little people.... Let Sir repeat his wondrous wins!

Sick, twisted, tangential... Be it #dementia or #BrainSpurs mixed with #TrumpVirus... What a contrast between a President serving #WeThePeople & improving our lives, versus a #grifter, #liar, #felon there to take it ALL for himself!

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]

How many in Congress are *not* violating ethics, oath of office, or law? And it rises to the top, where the stinking fish head rots downward into our economy and our world standing. Sad.

Paxton's. but one fitting poster child.
Even Sir is apologizing for him (he's not a 10 in the appearance department). Sick.

So sad. So sick. So corrupt and evil. And so brazenly illegal, as if that matters now. :- (

Vapid depravity’: Rudy Giuliani

#Vapid #Depravity - seems like the key words for the whole #TrumpVirus / #GQP / #Kleptocracy #cult

But Rudy #Giuliani, like Sir, is special. Perfect vapid depravity. Like so many stars of the #TrumpEpsteinFiles and Cabinet of #Corruption

A New Report On Revolving Door Corruption that Helps Make Sense of the Latest Twin Metals Lobbying Disclosures

Lobbying activity for the Twin Metals copper and nickel mine on the edge of the Boundary Waters increased dramatically in the second quarter of 2026.

The new lobbying disclosure is here. In Q1 2026, the Bernhardt Group reported Twin Metals income of $120,000; in Q2, $220,000. Bernhardt lobbied both houses of Congress and multiple executive branch agencies on “mine leasing issues” on behalf of the Chilean company that owns Twin Metals.

I would also direct your attention to this excellent Public Citizen report by Alan Zibel and Jesse Coleman on David Bernhardt and revolving door corruption. The report was published in June, so it does not take into account the latest disclosures. But the points it makes about revolving door corruption provide important context for understanding these documents.

Since its launch just one year ago, Bernhardt’s firm has recorded $8.8 million in revenue from 53 clients in just three completed quarters of lobbying — a classic example of how Washington, D.C.’s revolving door blurs the lines between corporate interests and government. Bernhardt Group reported nearly $2.9 million in the first quarter of 2026, putting the lobbying firm on pace for $11 million in revenue this year. The “revolving door” is a system in which corporations and other wealthy interests develop close relationships with government officials through the movement of key individuals back and forth between the private and public sectors.

Zibel and Coleman also detail closed-door meetings at Interior in September and November of 2025 with Bernhardt Group lobbyist William McGrath and Twin Metals executives.

More broadly, the report makes the case that David Bernhardt is now operating as a “Shadow Secretary” of the Interior, while the actual cabinet Secretary, Doug Burgum, goes on television to defend Trump’s war in Iran, or to pretend he’s never heard of batteries, or to talk about the reflecting pool and other Trump vanity projects.

If you want to make sense of what the administration is doing on the Twin Metals front, or of the actual dirty work that’s getting done behind the scenes of the embarrassing, outrageous, and infuriating spectacle of the second Trump administration, this is a must read.

It is unclear whether #Tron & #BNBChain were aware their networks were used by the central bank of #Iran & #Nobitex, which has not been specifically sanctioned. Doing business with Iranian entities falls under general Western #sanctions. Reuters could not determine why the #UnitedStates has not sanctioned Nobitex.

#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 [🙄].

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.

“We’ve got a real issue here with, really, this emerging American #oligarch who has…no standing: The American people didn’t pick him. He didn’t run for office. Nor has he been nominated. I think that’s a huge stumbling block from the very beginning that could taint the entire process if the #Republicans aren’t careful,” Rep #GerryConnolly added.

#ElonMusk has been discussed as potentially becoming a “special government employee” within the #WhiteHouse — a position that would exempt him from certain reporting & disclosure requirements of other senior ofcls.

“He starts w/enormous #ConflictsOfInterest, & they need to be absolutely addressed in terms of #transparency & #accountability,” said Rep #GerryConnolly (VA), the top #Democrat on the powerful #House #Oversight Cmte.
