Just let the guy have his shiny golden plane already!
He truly deserves it after those intense tariff negotiations and managing to go from 10% to 145% all the way down to just 30%!
So the man with the intellect of bratty toddler, zero value and no morals gets to jet set around the globe blackmailing whomever he wants while we all suffer. I don't fucking get it...blackmail or not. To foolishly serve the worst person of the 21st century...
The corruption is the point with Trump. It’s how he ran his hotels. It’s how he’s destroying the image of America across the globe. There is Intel of his unethical shakedown for personal gain.
The Republicans know it and enable the corruption.
Trump’s meeting with King Salman of Saudi Arabia, and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi at the 2017 Riyadh Summit is cited as one of the catalysts for the crisis.
Apparently, bribery, blackmail, delusions, stealing, insider trading, fraud & lies, are now prerequisites for political roles in Trump world. If you cannot excel at a minimum one of those, you aren’t qualified. If you have ethics, morals, or integrity, you simply do not fit the mold.
WTF! Where was Tillerson in 2024? Just counting his money? All the Trump 1 ppl watched this train wreck and said shit. I hope they loose all their money, that is all they care about.
"If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullsh*t"
Trumps "brilliance" is that he understands that in the United States, 54% of American adults are illiterate, reading below the equivalent of a sixth-grade level.
They didn't learn a thing because just approving it wouldn't have been the end of it. The lesson should've been that it's easier for a group of countries to buck up against the bully, while it's easier for him to wrap his tentacles around a single country. The law firms have figured this out.
Kushner needed the bailout because of Jared's disastrous purchase of 666 Fifth Ave.
This was Jared's first and last business deal.
Yet the Saudis entrusted $2 Billion to his business acumen.
Wonder why.
Qatar invests tons of petrodollars into islamising europe with salafism, just like Saudi-Arabia, Irãn, Kuwait and the UAE do. Salafist countries are fascist shitholes through and through. It would have been better if they were invaded.
Maybe add this to the @ericlipton.nytimes.com is an intellectually dishonest contortionist pos. Pretty sure extortion is a form of mafiaesque corruption
Exactly. If there is a strategy, and that's a big damn if, it's to flood the zone with so much BS that we can't focus on any one action long enough to dig into it. I, too, fear we are only seeing the tip of the iceberg.
I know I feel more and more overwhelmed by the sheer numbers of atrocities every single day. My biggest fear is that they’ve enlisted paramilitary in every state and they’re representing themselves as HS, but they’re really vigilantes. I also fear that neighbors are turning people in.
Crazy how this is all allowed to continue under America's legal and political systems. In any other Western country, it would be a constitutional crisis, but in the US it's just business as usual.
Bribery is such a ugly word,
But it sure does fit this turd!
He gets a jet from Qatar,
I’m sure their promises will go far!
He violates the Constitution one more time.
And Republicans just don’t mind!
"If engagement on TikTok is any indication, a Democratic presidential primary held today among people under 50 would result in a landslide for the bestselling author now making her second bid for the nomination."
That sounds real close to a violation if he's a US citizen. His actions can't influence policy. Forget what they call that but - can't be doing that. That whole family plays by a different set of rules, which is to say seemingly none
Such a bunch of criminals. Like A+, top of the line Mafioso criminals. In fact it's a fucking criminal enterprise that could have been prosecuted under Rico.
If that’s the back story there’s no way I would take possession of that plane. That’s a trap. You don’t typically like people that threaten and blackmail you.
Your kids can only have two dolls for Christmas. But dear leader is getting a half a billion dollar gold plated plane from his personal Santa clause, the Amir of Qatar. Suck it kids!
At one time there was a PBS interview where the Qatari ambassador explained they thought the deal was an offer to join a real estate deal, so they passed. Once they realized bailing Jared out was diplomacy, he said "its only a billion dollars"
You just bought a plane ticket. Your departure is from Saudi Arabia. The plane is a Boeing. Your destination is Newark airport. What are the odds that you’ll actually survive this flight?
If you don’t follow @ryangrim.bsky.social and @dropsitenews.com news, fix your fucking life. Same goes for @ddayen.bsky.social and @prospect.org. These folks will tell you what’s actually going on.
Honestly, making countries hate each other because of not recieving a gift from one is fucking stupid. I say this as someone from Egypt, which sided with SA and UAE in all of this.
In life we come to a crossroad's WHERE we MUST choose! One road is called Project 2025the other is the called Constitution Ave. 2025would be easy life.All U have to do is live in a cage in Trumps kingdom and kiss his ring. OR take the ruff road,full of road blocks, pain,BUT U WILL BE FREE. PROTEST!
If you took any 1980s corrupt government thriller and replaced the government stooges with the cast of Monty python....they could play out today's actual headlines.
Given that, though, giving Trump a massive white elephant that is legally impossible for him to accept and will cost vast amounts of money and time to bring up to the standard for AF-1 is pretty smart. Best backhanded “gift” ever.

Master grifter, now given unchecked power from SCOTUS. 🤨🤬

VOTE REPUBLICANS OUT.
The Highest stage of capitalism is Gangsterism
"Nice country you've got there. Would be a shame if anything happened to it..."
He drained the swamp and then bought a plane from the alligators.
..where are you ?....now we need you !!

'Knowing your audience' is a political strategy.
#Technocratic
Of course no explanation was given to their public.
Now it makes sense…
But I'm not greedy and ignorant.
I wonder how many times they'll let it fly before giving him his dues.
This was Jared's first and last business deal.

We have THE MOST corrupt regime in US history.
(he's no mob boss. Real mobsters laugh at the wannbe. Rule 1 of the mob: keep your mouth shut. And that's one thing Trump CANNOT do)
See: Tara Reade.
He’s never once apologized for propelling her disgusting lie about Joe Biden. https://theintercept.com/2020/04/24/new-evidence-tara-reade-joe-biden/
Sad but true
Reading the paragraph makes me wonder why
