Diedrich would it be so wrong to hope the door blows out in mid flight over Gulf of Mexico, pulling his fat ass, JD, and the rest of the bottom feeders out the doorway...is that too much to ask?

This headline is pro-fascist. So common for The New York times.

I recall a book that the Trump Campaign ran on called “Clinton Cash”. When do we hear from Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham on how bad this is.

"heightens corruption concerns"

Why does NYT even bother?

diedrichbader.bsky.social•38 days ago

It’s a good story though

Let me ask something. When Nixon was in the Watergate scandal he was basically kicked out. So Trump is doing all this garbage and no one wants to do anything? The media seems to have become afraid of Trump.

The Supreme Court told him there are zero consequences and he took that to heart. The era of at least feigned decency is over.

The headline is embarrassing.

We are well past “concerns” at this point.

"Corruption concerns" US News is so pathetic. Wasn't there a time that this type of transparent corruption would have been called out very explicitly?

diedrichbader.bsky.social•38 days ago

The story does
Got to get past the headline

I've come to expect milquetoast journalism these days I didn't even bother. Maybe I will now that you mentioned it. ;)

If there was concerns it would have been stopped in 2016 but here we are.

Well, it’s built on the blockade the Saudis instituted against the Qataris when Jared needed them to bail him out over his 666 Park Ave albatross. They reckon the protection racket is just how things are done.

Oh, the White House is for sale and if i were representing a foreign government I’d most likely be doing the same thing
It’s how businesses is done now, like in most authoritarian countries

It may be that we have to exist parallel to these fuckers, but I will continue to declare: “Fuck ‘em”.
