Why the fuck would any investor chance sinking money into that basket case of a kleptocracy ?

Its about the contrast between ambition and competency. For someone like Kushner he simply doesnt know any other way to do business and I’m not sure he even appreciates how crooked it is. For people like Witkoff, its the opportunity to jump a tier of importance and success he wouldnt have been able to had he been forced to compete in normal business in Manhattan.

And Soros obviously. But these are Witkof’s favorite people, whom he seeks to make the DimWit Pact with,so.

Guessing that would be a long list, seeing as the orange orangutang thinks everyone hates him, can’t understand where that idea came from!

Furthermore to the pardon for the ex-Honduran President (which hasn’t actually been granted yet and is receiving considerable blowback) , Trump has also just pardoned another white collar fraudster who had served less than two weeks of a seven-year sentence for his role in what prosecutors described as a $1.6 billion scheme that defrauded thousands of victims.

Tellingly , that hardly surprised me , he’s just the latest in a line of many , but I was interested when I learned the name of his ‘Pardon Czar’.

Alice Marie Johnson was convicted in 1996 for her involvement in a Memphis cocaine trafficking organization and sentenced to life imprisonment. In June 2018, after serving 21 years in prison, she was released from the Federal Correctional Institution, Aliceville, after President Donald Trump granted her clemency, thereby commuting her sentence, effective immediately.[3] On February 20, 2025, Trump named her as his administration’s "pardon czar. (Wiki)

She was granted clemency after a high profile campaign involving Kim Kardashian , Kanye West and Jared Kushner , part of a wider political endeavour for Trump to enhance his reputation among Black voters.

We all knew this was gonna happen. Yet the US authorities are powerless to do anything about it. And the MAGA morons don’t give a shit.

There are no pockets in a shroud. The guy appears to be rotting from the inside out, so he hasn’t got decades in front of him to enjoy any of it… Once he has gone, makes the rest of them vulnerable to be tied up in court cases for the rest of their natural…

Remember one of the original arguments made for Trump was, unlike the politicians, he was already rich so could not be bought the same way they are

Biden’s preemptive pardons were understandably controversial but not without merit. Even someone who disagreed with them would have been lying by not acknowledging the real problem was the certain pending vindictive prosecutions we’ve now been saying. The result though was a collective freak out by the press

This…won’t even be a 2 day story

And of course contrast the way this gets folded into their narrative of every part of the Russia story compared to how they treated the Hunter story that they knew to be a political hit piece

I don’t think so (but maybe you were half joking, in which case, I agree that they enjoy this, as evident by that tweet).

Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.) said ; “I don’t think he would be foolish enough to make this decision to say, kill everybody, kill the survivors, because that’s a clear violation of the law of war.”

Unless of course , he (Hegseth) wasn’t entirely sure that those aboard were in fact drug dealers.
