@Lazarou The Israel lobby bought Trump's loyalty for just under a quarter of a billion US dollars, $243,000,000.
The reason Trump doesn't call out Netanyahu is because he doesn't want to have to pay that money back.

@KimPerales Lindsay Graham isn't permitted to think for himself though. He is a bought and paid for shill of the Israel lobby. His loyalty was bought for "transparent" bribes over $1,000,000.
Sounds like a lot but he is actually pretty cheap, because to bribe Trump for his loyalty they had to pay him over $243,000,000 (a quarter of a billion dollars)

#HayleyStevens (D #MI)
Here's a post about her taking #AIPAC money a few years ago.
And my understanding is she's taken $9+million in AIPAC money for this campaign in 2026

#LiberalElites Kicked the Door Wide Open for #Trump’s Flagrant #Corruption
The president’s corruption is audaciously out in the open, but decades of letting the wealthy play by their own rules enabled him.
Dylan Gyauch-Lewis
November 9 2025Excerpt: "Calls for Democrats to find their way back from the wilderness by forcefully rebuking #corporate influence and corruption, something we at the #RevolvingDoorProject have been urging as the cornerstone of progressive politics for years, are multiplying. Politicians, notably Georgia Sen. Jon Ossoff and Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy, both Democrats, are emerging as anti-corruption champions. To mount a real anti-corruption agenda, though, Democrats must go farther than just condemning the sundry glad-handing of Trump world. There is no appetite for going back to the halcyon days when everyone knew the legal code was merely a suggestion for corporate titans and the ultra-rich, even as they masqueraded as law-abiding citizens."

The #PrivatePrison Industry Looks Forward to Soaring Profits Thanks to #Trump’s Budget
The $45 billion for immigration #detention in the "Big, Beautiful Bill" represented a long-sought win for #PrivatePrisons.
by Matt Sledge, July 10 2025
"The private prison industry saw its influence wane under Joe Biden, but it remains dominant in the business of immigration detention. So when President Donald Trump signed the so-called 'Big, Beautiful Bill' on July 4, dedicating $45 billion to immigration detention with a goal to double or triple the population behind bars, it was a huge payoff.
"The victory was in the works for years. A private prison company handed consulting and lobbying gigs to Trump’s allies, its political action committee was the first to max out its donation to Trump, and industry executives had already made plans to reopen shuttered prisons — laying the groundwork for what they promised investors would be an incarceration bonanza.
"In the 2024 election cycle, employees and PACs affiliated with the publicly traded industry behemoths #GEOGroup and CoreCivic contributed overwhelmingly to #Republicans and Trump.
"Republicans received 92 percent of $3.7 million in contributions affiliated with GEO Group and 96 percent of the $785,000 in contributions affiliated with #CoreCivic, according to #OpenSecrets, a nonpartisan, nonprofit research group that tracks official disclosures. When Trump won, the two companies gave $500,000 each to his #inaugural committee."
