Just some old fashioned corruotion getting swept under the rug

https://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/tom...ion-rcna232568

In an undercover operation last year, the FBI recorded Tom Homan, now the White House border czar,#accepting $50,000 in cash after indicating he could help the agents — who were posing as business executives — win government contracts in a second Trump administration, according to multiple people familiar with the probe and internal documents reviewed by MSNBC.

The FBI and the Justice Department planned to wait to see whether Homan would deliver on his alleged promise once he became the nation’s top immigration official. But the case indefinitely stalled soon after Donald Trump became president again in January,#according to six sources familiar with the matter. In recent weeks, Trump appointees officially closed the investigation, after FBI Director Kash Patel requested a status update on the case, two of the people said.

Pam: I have reviewed over 30 statements and posts saying that, essentially, "same old story as last time, all talk, no action. Nothing is being done. What about Comey, Adam "Shifty" Schiff, Leticia??? They're all guilty as hell, but nothing is going to be done." Then we almost put in a Democrat supported U.S. Attorney, in Virginia, with a really bad Republican past. A Woke RINO, who was never going to do his job. That's why two of the worst Dem Senators PUSHED him so hard. He even lied to the media and said he quit, and that we had no case. No, I fired him, and there is a GREAT CASE, and many layers, and legal pundits, say so. Lindsey is a really good lawyer, and likes you, a lot. We can't delay any longer, it's killing our reputation and credibility. They impeached me twice, and indicted me (5 times!), OVER NOTHING. JUSTICE MUST BE SERVED, NOW!!! President DJT
Well well well, this post has now been deleted from trumps timeline and apparently it was meant to be a DM to Bondi.
Hilarious.
And now its back, slightly different, added Halligans last name.
I guess they figured deleting it looked worse? I dont know. When you post all kinds of batcrap insanity leaving it up just looks like more of the same.

The two posts were vastly different. He erased all mentions of prosecuting his enemies in the latter.

Trump's proven time and time again he can post whatever and say whatever and do whatever and everyone will just roll over for him. People will protest on twitter and social media, which don't accomplish much but at least keep some people informed, and the real protests aren't being covered by the media so virtually no one knows they exist.


Scary.

H1-B is pretty common visa for doctors, but they're are several other visas not subject to that 100k that would work for docs. H1-B is most typical in tech jobs. It's probably the lowest standard requirements for visas. Or was. Or probably more accurately has the broadest range of possibilities for a visa application

An ad for Prager U just came up on my YT feed. I’m watching The Bulwark.

It’s some guy going on about how corrupt Obama was, and how something needs to be done about him. The guy is black, and the host is some MAGA lookalike woman.

I couldn’t listen to it, but if it comes up again probably should just to be aware.

Black people supporting MAGA is as ridiculous as a Jewish person supporting the Nazi party. This world has gone crazy.

I’ve been getting some clips of Obama speaking out against Trump so they will probably be going after him even harder.

The fascist playbook says no. You leave the ineffectual institution opposition in place. You let them fight in the institutions, when they lose you tell everyone they are losers, and when they win you ignore the institutions.

Obama being in place using relatively mild rhetoric if the foil that makes it look like they are allowing for political opposition while crushing anyone who actually challenges them.

Trump's such a weird dude. Even hugging Kirk's wife today on the stage seemed so strange and awkward for him to do. Showing empathy to her for a moment looked incredibly foreign to him.

She’s blonde and attractive. Trump’s type; he’ll probably ask her out.

He doesn't ask out. He just grabs 'em.

Wow according to Trump he discovered the cause of autism 20 years ago.

This whole thing is the scariest #### I’ve heard. He does want us to die/eugenics.

Trump on the podium right now! hahahahahahahahah

If you have a fever just deal with it. Don't take it! Don't take it! Advil and aspirin have all proven to be damaging!

Look at Cuba, they have no money for tylonel and there is no autism in Cuba! lol
