Ok, everyone wants to know about David Rem, billed for tonight's Trump MSG rally as "his childhood friend."

Don't say I don't do anything for you guys.

Here is Rem being interviewed by David Zere in May about how he went to Trump's school 17 years after Trump, and how after his father died, Fred Trump visited his mother to say he would pay for his tuition.🧵 Rem attempted to run for Congress in AOC's district this year, the 14th CD in The Bronx, but didn't collect enough signatures. He is a regular at events, heckling pols about migrants, often with his friend Jonathan Rinaldi, the Sperminator former Queens City Council candidate guy with all the sperm donation offspring.

Hard to say what happened with the canvasser knocking on the door here, possibly some miscommunication about the monastery’s guest house. But you can see that these women live and die here. Image

People wanted to know about Vem Miller and his sovereign citizen stuff. Here's a bit about his custody battle and bank lawsuits.

Miller, formerly named Vem Yenovkian, was embroiled in a super nasty custody case with his ex wife that resulted in a judge awarding her $150k for "years of cyberbullying of the mother [...] on websites, YouTube videos, online petitions and emails."

"It is about a father who videotapes court-ordered access visits with the children—both in-person and on Skype—and edits and posts those access visits and photographs of the children on the internet, with commentary. It is about a father who publicly posts on YouTube a video of his son cowering under a table while the father harangues him over Skype on a court-ordered access visit." 🧵 fieldlaw.com/News-Views-Eve…

New: Pictures from inside Netanyahu's post-UN speech meeting with Jewish leaders at the Loews Regency New York Hotel yesterday show Trump-connected moguls in attendance.

Seated across from Netanyahu is Greg/Gavriel Sofiev, CEO of Leviev Diamonds, married to Chagit Leviev Sofiev, daughter of Lev Leviev, an oligarch and famous long time friend of Putin.

Chagit is friendly with the Kushners and the Sofievs sold 60K sq of Midtown retail space to Kushner for $296M in 2015.

Picture on right shows Chagit (second from left) with Nassau County Legislator Mazi Pilip who lost to Tom Suozzi in NY-03's special election earlier this year, at the meeting.Image
