Don't forget, in addition to biz and sedition woes, Trump was co-opted and corrupted by a foreign dictatorship: "Barrack inserted language praising the UAE into a Campaign speech to be delivered by the Candidate,... “I nailed it. . . for the home team,” justice.gov/usao-edny/pr/f…
When your accused agent of a foreign government lifestyle is hampered by an ankle bracelet. “He regularly surfs and attends fitness classes,” aspentimes.com/news/aspen-co-…
Barrak was head of the inaugural committee. An easy way to funnel cash into Trump's properties. Yeah the same company in trouble in New York for overstating values. etc. Don't you love it when a plan comes together? apnews.com/article/distri…
Here's a handy spread sheet. Not just UAE.. Remember Adelson paid $424M to the GOP and Trump to declare Jerusalem the capital of Israel move the embassy on his day in office. He dropped some serious coin on the inauguration. docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…
Hey...Russia wants some of this.... "the Russian Embassy attempted to make a $150,000 cash withdrawal just a few days after Trump’s inauguration in January 2017. The bank reportedly blocked this transaction" americanprogress.org/article/follow…
I assumed Bulgaria slipped a folded twenty into Jr's hand when he parked cars at the Inaugural Ball.
At this point it might be faster to compile a list of countries who didn't bribe Donald. I guess Ukraine google translated "Favor" and thought Donald meant "favor" not "bribe" torres.house.gov/timeline-presi…
and those presidential pardons...how much? Talk to Rudy. vanityfair.com/news/2020/02/d…
C'mon Donald...how much for a pardon? They're like...family... aren't they? nytimes.com/2020/12/01/us/…
I get that Trump as desperate business owner would monetize his brief time as President. We expect Presdidents to make bank...when they leave office. It's just how badly he grifted while in office. Like a kid with his hand in the ingredients to make candy. vanityfair.com/news/2020/10/d…
"Putinesque" might be the nastiest thing you can say about someone. Or perhaps "Trumpian" may be term coined to describe the brief reign of a broke ass casino grifter. grammarly.com/blog/esque/

Nice visual play Gibraltar...but don't forget the baboons. theguardian.com/technology/202…
"The second-largest cryptocurrency economy in the world was North America, receiving more than $750bn in the period." UK is number one. Gibraltar not so much. finance.yahoo.com/news/uk-has-hi…
El Salvador is known more for exporting folks with facial tattoos. The World's Coolest Leader loves the crypto. Freedom and journos....not so much. slate.com/news-and-polit…

No Internet for Yemen. So Iranian news picks up the slack. presstv.ir/Detail/2022/01…’s-Hudaydah
Its an interesting narrative. Houthis point to Afghanistan as proof that they can win over larger power. The navies of Iran, China and Russia practice together in the Northern Indian Ocean while Iran's President Raisi is in with Moscow for a 20 year plan. reuters.com/world/india/ir…
There is entirely new sphere of influence where frenemies are clustering together to oppose U.S. wishes while fighting amongst themselves for scraps. UAE blames Iran for latest Abu Dhabi attack. Days after Tahnoon gladhanded Raisi. UAE bombs Yemen. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Shouldn’t this be an FBI press release not a CNN story? cnn.com/2022/01/20/pol…
“"It was Rudy and these misfit characters who started calling the shots," a former Trump campaign staffer said. "The campaign was throwing enough sh*t at the wall to see what would stick."
“After Trump failed to stop battleground states from certifying Biden's victory, Trump campaign officials, led by Giuliani, launched its parallel effort to disrupt and undermine the Electoral College process. This included publicly promoting false claims of fraud”

Follow the bouncing ball with @konrad_muzyka, read the stories and marvel at the size of the Russian buildup. A-10 pilots are drooling at the nice neat lineups economist.com/europe/what-ar…
This is an historic moment as Russia plays Cuban Missile Crisis Chicken Part Two against America. Or are they just stress testing NATO and the US? Half measures? Steal a little Ukraine? Or is it all Vlad's Mycraine?
The U.S. military is built to do many things. Probably the best capability they have is to fight head to head against Russian armor and air formations. But for some reason the Russians made us think they would invade the US.

Journalist @carolecadwalla is getting bashed about and insulted in court by Arron Banks. Wonder why? "Katya Banks had entered Britain on a passport sequentially numbered to the passport of Katia Zatuliveter, a woman MI5 had claimed was a Russian spy" theguardian.com/uk-news/2022/j…
"Lawfare" is just another tool used to impoverish, distract, diminish and silence journalists. It doesn't really work. It's more of a badge of honor.
Thankfully there is entertainment aplenty.
