It was only a matter of time before a president who sold hats and bitcoin just decided to take it to the next level

We’ve become so desensitized to corruption that the Attorney General who spent years lobbying on behalf of Qatar approved a private jet gift from Qatar and it’s not even in the top 10 scandals of the week.

Qatar is backtracking from the alleged 'sky palace' gift.

More narcissistic delusion from Trump's team.

He has willing enablers around him everywhere. I'm sure they figure they'll get a piece of whatever action they can drum up. No grownups or guard rails allowed this time.

Molly- Trump never sold Bitcoin. Bitcoin is independent and legitimate.

What Trump did was create $TRUMP coin. We call that a shit-coin. Think of it as a stock he created out of thin air and every penny went straight to his pocket.

biologistforearth.bsky.social•13 hours ago

Can't believe this blatant corruption is allowed by the congress.

bewildered37.bsky.social•4 hours ago

BLOCK THE BRIBE. Trump’s acceptance of Qatar’s plane-bribe shatters the Constitution. Fascist Republicans—who routinely break the law to protect Trump’s criminal acts—have rallied in support of the criminal acceptance of the bribe. Our courts must overrule the corrupt administrators and legislators.

Without actual resistance to the hats and crypto, why stop there?

This is what happens when consequences cease to exist on a person who has been bathing in corruption for five decades.

Wait, wait - didn't we just hear from his blonde bombshell WH spokesperson that the plane is being donated to the US Defense Dept?
So it's not the felon's dream AF1 all upgraded for his personal security? And it won't end up in his imaginary personal library?
Get your fucking stories straight!!

From sneakers to super jets;
it is Trump’s way to grift for more and more.

Didn't sell Bitcoin. He sold meme coins. Leave Bitcoin out of it. One is worth a ton of money and has proven itself. The other has zero utility or purpose and is purely speculation driven. It was a marketing scheme and a pump and dump. Just like his nfts. These are not equal to btc at all.

mrianjohnson.bsky.social•15 hours ago

For all of us outside the US we look on in despair but with hope

Stand up, speak up and know, it will end

Don't be silent + keep your resilience

Call out every piece of it that's wrong, every single time

Again and again and again

Do not stop

You will endure

Sending you very best from Europe

ignorethefakes.bsky.social•15 hours ago

What’s the chance they’ve outfitted the plane to gather intel?

schis.bsky.social•16 hours ago

It will cost tax payers hundreds of millions to strip this plane down, inspect it and rebuild it with the security needed for AF1.

Boeing is currently retrofitting 2 747-8s to Presidential aircraft standard. The Qatar 747 is no where close to being that standard and Congress hasn’t, and won’t provide the billions in funding to bring it up to the security level required.

The day the Supreme Court started ruling on white supremacist ideology is the day nothing mattered anymore. If I read the paper tomorrow that Trump disbanded the Supreme Court I wouldn’t care because I see it as nothing but an arm of the Maga cult. We have no protection in the US from dictators

I don't think we've become "desensitized." I think we as individuals have come to realize we have no power other then the vote and that's not for another 18 months. Many of us have lost faith in our government, its institutions and both parties.
