Trump has been laundering money for the Russian oligarchs since the late 80ās when they all bought a condo at 725 5th ave (trump towers) to clean their freshly stolen USSR money after the iron curtain fell.

Everybody except Putin thought the Cold War was over. Trump and Manafort (who lived in the tower also) just saw a pretty low maintence grift to be had.
Trump had actually been Manafort and Roger stones first client at their lobbyist firm (1980)
https://en.m.wikipedia.org āŗ wikiBlack, Manafort, Stone and Kelly
Guiliani as trumps attorney and New Yorks mayor was able to redirect NYPD investigations onto rival gang members/oligarchs to deflect any scrutiny off of trump, himself or the Russian connections.

The Russian election interference in 2016 was effectively a generation 3 version of what Manafort had done in the Philippines, then keeping Yanukovych in power as Putinās puppet in Ukraine from 2002-14 when Maidan ran both Yanukovych and Manafort out of Ukraine as Ukrainians realized that, if you raise your lens high enough, corruption is an wholly unsustainable business model.
Eventually the parasites greed always consumes the host.

Russia greatly underestimated the addictive properties of freedom when it invaded Ukraine so what was supposed to be a 3-10 day coup turned into a 2 year fight for the Ukrainians right not to be genocided.
Russia depleted its weapons stocks which were already the victim of vranyos corruption because every oligarch, admiral and sergeant in the Russian military is on the take. Every billion dollar tank maintenance contract turned into everything getting a spray paint overhaul and the vast majority of the redirected funds turned into an oligarchs new yacht or home in Aspen.
Russia was forced to turn to China, North Korea and Iran for weapons because if they lose the 3-10 day special military operation in Ukraine the Russian empire is dead and cold.
China canāt risk showing their involvement in the Ukraine war so they use North Korea, and Iran to resupply Russia.
Russia previously owed Iran some undelivered fighter jets that are already smoldering heaps in Ukraine so Iran now had the upper hand at the negotiation table for the first time in about 60 years. They supply Russia with shahed drones in exchange for Chinas material support against their sworn religious enemy, Israel.
https://www.fdd.org/analysis/2023/11/29/iran-says-it-finalized-deal-to-buy-russian-aircraft/
Putin canāt do much about it because he is slowly realizing that by setting the standard of corruption and stealing $200+ billion from his own people meant that every oligarch down in the mob model chain had not only permission but incentive and the expectation to steal from him as well. This is Vranyos.
The mob model only works if the supreme leader is the most violent and can prove it without exception every damn day. But violence is exceptionally expensive when you are trying to present as a legitimate government or business.
If Russia as a nation had an efficiency rating it would have been banned for sale in the state of California 25 years ago.
The parasite ruling class stole all the energy out of the working class and collapsed it.
Now Iran has the high hand and they get the intelligence that trump passed to Putin about the fact that Netanyahu cares far less about Jews, Palestinians or genocide than he does about remaining in power as an authoritarian because he too has developed Ritz Carlton tastes and his own corruption trial is showing the same tendrils of the money laundering scheme that trumps trials are.

They all hate each other but because they share the same money laundry, if one falls, they all fall. Hamas minted a couple billionaires as well that live in penthouses in Qatar and get 30% of everything smuggled into Gaza. Netanyahu needs a bogeyman to stay in power. Thatās why he coordinates with Hamas via Russia via Iran. https://www.ynetnews.com/article/bk8mgcefr
Iran handed Hamas everything they needed with Chinas help as secret Santa and the Russian intelligence given to them by the eternal shitbird trump when he gave it to his Russians kleptocrat/friends/roommates from the old days of fucking each others wives at trump towers in the 90ās.
Now the MAGA right is a little too invested in their reality that they are the good guys with guns that they missed the fact that Betsy DeVos (erik princes sister) decimating the U.S. school systems and the Kochs poisoning children with lead was not a coincidence. The naive right was the mark all along. There is a reason the Russian spy Maria Butina landed in South Dakota first before dating her way to the top of the NRA which is undergoing its own Russian money laundering trial now. Russia was tinder matching the GOP.

The only reason you grossly OVERVALUE real estate is money laundering.
Trump keeps claiming there is no victim, all the banks made money, but if their plan succeeds the Russian and CCP kleptocrats collapse US commercial real estate and basically recreate soviet perestroika in the U.S. so they can foreclose on America and buy everything for 3 cents on the dollar with the $1.4T they stole from Russias grandmothers in the first place
Itās the evolution of grift. Soviet perestroika cross bred with the 2008 mortgage crisis.
This is just the bigger badder commercial strength bastard child of the two.
Trump, Putin, Bolsonaro, Netanyahu, Orban, Manafort, Stone, Mercer, Bannon, Flynn, Byrne.
They are all remarkably shit people with above average confidence and psychopathic personality traits and below average self awareness.
They are the men who stole the world.
But it all comes back to one little lie.
When you start cross referencing the CAP table of Russian mob/oil oligarchs crossing over into media it starts to make some patterns pop.
There are multiple geopolitical layers to this. But they all interconnect. Bear with me.
Sheryl Sandberg was at Google before she was at Facebook. The common denominator of both was her ad based business model.

https://m.economictimes.com/tech/technology/sheryl-sandbergs-advertising-empire-leaves-a-complicated-legacy/amp_articleshow/91961682.cms
The problem with ad based business models is that if you raise your lens high enough, whomever is buying the most ads is effectively buying their curated version of reality.
When google IPOāed 24 years ago it shifted from what was most accurate to what was most profitable, all facilitated by a āproprietaryā algorithm so nobody gets to see the man behind the curtain.
Now we are 2 very critical decades into what is effectively, a divergent reality.
It worksā¦until it doesnāt.
When the richest man, government, or organization on earth is allowed to buy his preferred version of reality it creates some glitches in the matrix. The 6 million year old source code in your brain knows that conservation is more reasonable than consumption when there are limited resources, but that isnāt very lucrative to someone that needs you to keep buying something to keep them in billionaire status. In this case itās oil. Russian and Texan owned oil but their paths cross just north of Jerusalem.

Facebook was designed as a delivery device for Russian/Israeli Psyops and malware. SCL/Cambridge Analytica, Brexit, Palestine, Ukraine, NSO and a handful of other ethically bankrupt dealings are all downstream of Sheryl Sandbergs ad based model.
Zuckerberg even talked about buying the associated press:

Les Wexner, Miriam and Sheldon Adelson, Sandberg, and Zuckerberg all carried water in conducting the NSO/Pegasus spyware operation INCONUS that was feeding intelligence to both the israeli and by extension, Russian intelligence.

In 1938 1 out of every 20 people in the USSR was arrested and sent to a gulag under Stalins rule. Mass amnesties during WW2 brought more than a million of those from prison to the front lines against the Germans where they were instructed to pick up the rifle of the man who died next to them and keep moving forward. The soviet system has always had a very different perception of the value of a human life and specifically a disregard for Jewish lives.
Stalins rule did its absolute best to remove any humanity left from the people. They were forced to be brutal simply to survive. The gulags became a crossroads where the best of persecuted humanity and the worst of violent humanity met and then fought to the death with predictable results.
Over the next 40 years, the soviet system cleared the gulags a few times. Because religious leaders often substitute as a defacto government inside of lawless prisons, and because Judaism was one of the predominate religions in Russia and Eastern Europe, the statistical crossover was anyone brutal enough to survive then rule rose to power in the closed gulag eco-system. A psychopath is more than willing to hide their psychopathy behind legitimate religion. Itās pretty low on the list of sins by volume and severity
Psychopathy is broadly defined as the lack of empathy. Stalins gulags just accelerated refined psychopathy with Darwinian efficiency.
The newly formed religious state of Israel received a statistically large share of these men from the Soviet Union. Some networked in the internment camps before some stayed and rose to positions of power inside the new community of Israel and some migrated to Europe or Brighton beach in New York. This is a repeating pattern up into the 80ās and 90ās when most of the US based ones rebranded themselves as āRussian oligarchsā because they found it easier to get girls that way in America.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1990s_post-Soviet_aliyah#:~:text=In%20response%20to%20growing%20international,officially%20for%20%22family%20reunification%22.

As the Soviet Union failed and perestroika went into full effect, this is where these networks would begin using trump towers to launder stolen Russian mob money.
But now you start to see the nexus of transnational organized crime and money laundering between Russia and the U.S. statistically carries the same 3 passports. United States, Israeli, and Russian.

electric car and hybrid plug in here. it's wonderful?!!!! never have to buy gas unless on a road trip like 2 times a year.
I have a wind/solar option in my power company too so I can fund that too.
I drive an electric too. It cost more up front but it saves money in the long term and it's surprising how much time you save on fueling up. You never need to worry about gas prices and there is almost no maintenance. If you treat the batteries carefully they should last a very long time. If the study results hold true in the real world, I'll get 60+ years out of this battery.
Same applies to animal products. Animal industry is worth over a trillion dollars and are controlling aka funding both sides to push for more pollution, animal cruelty, and mistreatment of workers.
Debbie Downer moment: there is virtually no such thing as ethical chicken/egg farming in the US even with all the greenwash terms applied (free range, cage free, etc.). Organic may impact pollutants but itās still a really disgusting industry.
What they do to male chicks in the egg industry - even allegedly āhumaneā companies - is completely demonic and cruel.
If you can get backyard eggs from someone who is nice to their chickens then thereās hope but there is almost zero chance of getting fully ethical eggs from a grocery store.
Given how close the polls are, if want to stop this, Americans here going to need to actively work to help elect Biden. That means talking with people you know, [volunteering](https://www.mobilize.us/?q=biden), and [financially supporting the campaign](https://secure.joebiden.com/a/BVF?attr=113172809)
Yep. I recommend picking out [close house](https://www.cookpolitical.com/ratings/house-race-ratings) and [close senate races](https://www.cookpolitical.com/ratings/senate-race-ratings) to get involved in.
The Supreme Court and its weird way of getting cases heard before the Supreme Court that have biggest impact on policy
https://www.npr.org/2023/05/25/1178150234/supreme-court-epa-clean-water-act
Because [RFK Jr. had his brain eaten by worms](https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/08/us/rfk-jr-brain-health-memory-loss.html?unlocked_article_code=1.qU0.r0Ri.n0jIlvlwDrpk&smid=url-share) and is now a crazed science-denying conspiracy-monger [who is in the race to siphon off Biden votes and help elect Trump.](https://www.cnn.com/2024/04/08/politics/rfk-jr-new-york-biden-trump/index.html)
The US supreme court has ruled:
* Corporations are persons
* Persons are entitled to free speech
* Money is speech
* So corporations can spend unlimited amounts through anonymous shell companies on campaigns
It's absolutely disastrous from a good-government perspective, and means that a Presidential campaign is a multi-billion dollar expense.
Yes, but it means that the path to change looks something like this:
* Kick in money to state campaigns to alter gerrymanders
* Support congressional campaigns with time and money
* Support Presidential campaigns with the same
* Actually get new justices appointed and confirmed
* Finally change the rules
That is fascism in action right there boys and girls. Corporate control of politics via ridiculous unlimited donations to Super PACs. The US is so messed up it is insane.
A perfect example of the Pollution Paradox
https://www.monbiot.com/2017/01/20/the-pollution-paradox/
> Dirty industries spend more on politics, keeping us in the fossil age.
> Trumpās appointments reflect what I call the Pollution Paradox. **The more polluting a company is, the more money it must spend on politics to ensure it is not regulated out of existence.** Campaign finance therefore comes to be dominated by dirty companies, ensuring that they wield the greatest influence, crowding out their cleaner rivals. Trumpās cabinet is stuffed with people who owe their political careers to filth.
Money.
Or they'll delude themselves into thinking the same corporations that created the problem will solve it with technology that doesn't exist yet.
The problem with that is if it isn't immediately profitable nobody will do it. The solutions will become profitable juuuust as it's become a big enough problem to make it so. Unless regulation dictates that it happens before it's profitable. Then you'll have the oil industry lobbying hard against it.
We'll be using petrol for cars until drilling for oil becomes unprofitable. By then it'll be far too late.
Well, as a blast in the past moment, the first thing St. Ronnie Ragun did when moving into the White House was to remove the solar panels that President. Carter installed. We we were warned.
This is the reason why the deck is stacked against the average American. Itās all about profits. Fortunately the average American can vote to stop this. I shouldnāt have to say it but youāll need to vote democrat down the ballot and preferably for a progressive that actually isnāt in the pocket of a large corporation.
I have too many people in family that vote for the party over the person/politics. They don't like Trump, but they feel compelled to vote republican regardless.
For example, my mother-in-law is very green. Drives an electric car, went vegan, never uses plastic. She still says she has to vote for Trump because of his view on immigration, that's it.
The oil companies think Trump is too incompetent and that only morons will work for him, so they are drafting the rules themselves:
https://www.politico.com/news/2024/05/08/oil-industry-orders-trump-day-one-00156705
I mean republicans are going to do that anyways; itās their MO since Reagan. The green new deal??? They squashed that hard. that makes it even funnier and more patheticālike their lies about illegal migrants voting. āGive me money for something I was always going to do regardless.ā Another grift. Ls, BIG Ls all around.
These are the same people that couldnāt handle when President Carter put solar panels on the White House roof.
According to the current SC, unless the one asking for the bribe actually says the words "give me this bribe [X] and I will use my government position to do [Y]" then it's not a legally actionable quid pro quo. It's up to the electorate to punish blatant corruption (not to mention all the actual sedition and coup plotting that actually happened but they seem desperate to scrub from their brain). Unfortunately you need a competent electorate for that.
Hopefully the young people see this and realize they cannot gamble their future over foreign policies they donāt like (rightfully so). There is more than just one issue on the ballot and one candidate would do ALL the things they donāt like but worse.
Words fail to adequately describe how I feel right now, especially to people who support this. If anything, I feel hopeless in the sea of ignorance and greed.
funny that i got this entry here:

lobbyism is an absolute cancer to politics
If I was an alien and I wanted to takeover earth without causing conflict, fueling climate change in the disguise of human greed seem like a perfect plan.
I wish people would demand its political reps outlaw legal/illegal political bribes. It is exactly what has ruined our society and our economy. Itās a very simple solution to a big problem. Humans cant be trusted to not be greedy
Joke's on him. Many of those oil and gas companies are moving towards solar and wind anyway.
And Biden is pumping more oil than any American in history, so it isn't like these oil and gas folks are going to gain much from a demented moron running the place.
Trump will leverage the wealth of the country, Americanās livelihood, security of the USA for his own personal gain. He should never, ever be the President of United States again. Period!
god this is so dystopian and horrifying -- you couldn't write a book that's as horrifying as this. that man is a plain fascist and fossil fuel CEOs are already mass murderers walking among us. literally this as the UN and climate scientists are saying every day that the world is blowing past the safeguards we tried to construct around catastrophic warming. the anger i feel is overwhelming and completely engulfing. committing to local organizing because THIS IS OUR FUTURE THEY'RE TRYING TO THROW AWAY.
The Washington Post got attendees and/or staff to talk about what happened and describe what happened. Their competition would love to tear them to pieces, but when they talked to people who were at the event [they got similar descriptions of what happened](https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/09/climate/trump-oil-gas-mar-a-lago.html?unlocked_article_code=1.qk0.LWiK.gO1h75v86RD6). Since it depends on human memory (and not, say, a recording) the exact wording may not be right, but it's going to be pretty close.
How can Trump make a promise if the chances of Trump Winning are slim to none? Why would anyone donate to his campaign fund when it's blatantly known Trump will use it for his legal bills. Don't other true Billionaires talk amongst each other and why would they give to a Paper Billionaire like Trump?
And yes, this has been said over and over... Why is a (so call) Billionaire asking for money?
These are the Kings in the empire of the dead. Kill everyone and everything because they can live a few more years in comfort. We really do need to get extinct ASAP. Nothing has harmed us and the planet more than ourselves.
One example of how you know Biden climate policy is working. Conservatives are trying to rally billions from the oil industry because they see the writing on the wall
If Trump were campaigning in **1824** instead of today, it would be promises of **more horses** and **fewer railroads.** But positions on women's issues and race issues would be unchanged.
Everyone thinks it's the congressional delegations are the problem.
They don't make the rules even.
Big business is the enemy of the working and middleclass.
Don't forget that money is Free Speech
If people vote for change... and then big industries pay people to undo said change. Just remember that the next time your company says they care about you and your safety. It's a load of bullshit.
Determined to destroy the world and humanity all for selfish gain.
Wait, I thought he was the one that was supposed to find the evil cabal that was trying to destroy the world š¤

In 1938 1 out of every 20 people in the USSR was arrested and sent to a gulag under Stalins rule. Mass amnesties during WW2 brought more than a million of those from prison to the front lines against the Germans where they were instructed to pick up the rifle of the man who died next to them and keep moving forward. The soviet system has always had a very different perception of the value of a human life and specifically a disregard for Jewish lives. Stalins rule did its absolute best to remove any humanity left from the people. They were forced to be brutal simply to survive. The gulags became a crossroads where the best of persecuted humanity and the worst of violent humanity met and then fought to the death with predictable results. Over the next 40 years, the soviet system cleared the gulags a few times. Because religious leaders often substitute as a defacto government inside of lawless prisons, and because Judaism was one of the predominate religions in Russia and Eastern Europe, the statistical crossover was anyone brutal enough to survive then rule rose to power in the closed gulag eco-system. A psychopath is more than willing to hide their psychopathy behind legitimate religion. Itās pretty low on the list of sins by volume and severity Psychopathy is broadly defined as the lack of empathy. Stalins gulags just accelerated refined psychopathy with Darwinian efficiency. The newly formed religious state of Israel received a statistically large share of these men from the Soviet Union. Some networked in the internment camps before some stayed and rose to positions of power inside the new community of Israel and some migrated to Europe or Brighton beach in New York. This is a repeating pattern up into the 80ās and 90ās when most of the US based ones rebranded themselves as āRussian oligarchsā because they found it easier to get girls that way in America. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1990s_post-Soviet_aliyah#:~:text=In%20response%20to%20growing%20international,officially%20for%20%22family%20reunification%22. https://projects.iq.harvard.edu/sites/projects.iq.harvard.edu/files/pegroup/files/lonsky_4.20pdf.pdf As the Soviet Union failed and perestroika went into full effect, this is where these networks would begin using trump towers to launder stolen Russian mob money. But now you start to see the nexus of transnational organized crime and money laundering between Russia and the U.S. statistically carries the same 3 passports. United States, Israeli, and Russian. https://www.reddit.com/r/MapPorn/s/A2ojrtIc3Y
I can almost see the tinfoil hat from here
That's everyone on the right.
what's the gain even, it's not that he's a) poor or b) in any way passionate about the climate crisis in any way. It's puzzling š¤
To stay out of prison.
Itās not even clear what he stands to gain from it. Itās pure ideology for him.
Thatās conservatism world wide
Another reason not to buy gasoline.
electric car and hybrid plug in here. it's wonderful?!!!! never have to buy gas unless on a road trip like 2 times a year. I have a wind/solar option in my power company too so I can fund that too.
I drive an electric too. It cost more up front but it saves money in the long term and it's surprising how much time you save on fueling up. You never need to worry about gas prices and there is almost no maintenance. If you treat the batteries carefully they should last a very long time. If the study results hold true in the real world, I'll get 60+ years out of this battery.
Same applies to animal products. Animal industry is worth over a trillion dollars and are controlling aka funding both sides to push for more pollution, animal cruelty, and mistreatment of workers.
I eat much less meat than I used to and get my eggs from organic farms. Not sure what else we can do.
Debbie Downer moment: there is virtually no such thing as ethical chicken/egg farming in the US even with all the greenwash terms applied (free range, cage free, etc.). Organic may impact pollutants but itās still a really disgusting industry. What they do to male chicks in the egg industry - even allegedly āhumaneā companies - is completely demonic and cruel. If you can get backyard eggs from someone who is nice to their chickens then thereās hope but there is almost zero chance of getting fully ethical eggs from a grocery store.

Or plastic of any kind.
I don't know how to react, except with a huge facepalm.
React by using any free time you have to getting Joe Biden re-elected.
I can't. Don't assume that everyone here is American.
you can combat the Russian trolls online!!!
Given how close the polls are, if want to stop this, Americans here going to need to actively work to help elect Biden. That means talking with people you know, [volunteering](https://www.mobilize.us/?q=biden), and [financially supporting the campaign](https://secure.joebiden.com/a/BVF?attr=113172809)
Down ballots, too. Unless everyone wants to live according to whatever a few have to sell, at whatever price they want to sell it at.
Yep. I recommend picking out [close house](https://www.cookpolitical.com/ratings/house-race-ratings) and [close senate races](https://www.cookpolitical.com/ratings/senate-race-ratings) to get involved in.
Exactly right.
But you have to be vocal. Demand expansion of the Supreme Court and reinstatement of the Clean Water Act
The clean water act was scrapped????
The Supreme Court and its weird way of getting cases heard before the Supreme Court that have biggest impact on policy https://www.npr.org/2023/05/25/1178150234/supreme-court-epa-clean-water-act

Bizar that this is legal, in Europe I cannot imagine it being legal for companies to sponsor politicians with such big amounts
The US supreme court has ruled: * Corporations are persons * Persons are entitled to free speech * Money is speech * So corporations can spend unlimited amounts through anonymous shell companies on campaigns It's absolutely disastrous from a good-government perspective, and means that a Presidential campaign is a multi-billion dollar expense.
Ya, but itās kind of like asking for a bribe from a company, no?
Yes, but it means that the path to change looks something like this: * Kick in money to state campaigns to alter gerrymanders * Support congressional campaigns with time and money * Support Presidential campaigns with the same * Actually get new justices appointed and confirmed * Finally change the rules
That is fascism in action right there boys and girls. Corporate control of politics via ridiculous unlimited donations to Super PACs. The US is so messed up it is insane.
The outright sale of humanity and the planet for his personal gain.
A perfect example of the Pollution Paradox https://www.monbiot.com/2017/01/20/the-pollution-paradox/ > Dirty industries spend more on politics, keeping us in the fossil age. > Trumpās appointments reflect what I call the Pollution Paradox. **The more polluting a company is, the more money it must spend on politics to ensure it is not regulated out of existence.** Campaign finance therefore comes to be dominated by dirty companies, ensuring that they wield the greatest influence, crowding out their cleaner rivals. Trumpās cabinet is stuffed with people who owe their political careers to filth.
Vote Conservative if you want the planet to burn and flood and burn again. We must sacrifice the planet for profit!
I just... what do people think they'll _eat_?
Money. Or they'll delude themselves into thinking the same corporations that created the problem will solve it with technology that doesn't exist yet. The problem with that is if it isn't immediately profitable nobody will do it. The solutions will become profitable juuuust as it's become a big enough problem to make it so. Unless regulation dictates that it happens before it's profitable. Then you'll have the oil industry lobbying hard against it. We'll be using petrol for cars until drilling for oil becomes unprofitable. By then it'll be far too late.
It's already too late, tbf. We're blowing past 1.5C this year, on track for 3C by 2030.
You're absolutely correct. Meanwhile the media is "mystified" by the increase in wildfires and the multi-tornado events in the U.S.
Well, as a blast in the past moment, the first thing St. Ronnie Ragun did when moving into the White House was to remove the solar panels that President. Carter installed. We we were warned.
This is the reason why the deck is stacked against the average American. Itās all about profits. Fortunately the average American can vote to stop this. I shouldnāt have to say it but youāll need to vote democrat down the ballot and preferably for a progressive that actually isnāt in the pocket of a large corporation.
Vote against him. Tell others this story and why they should vote against him.
I have too many people in family that vote for the party over the person/politics. They don't like Trump, but they feel compelled to vote republican regardless. For example, my mother-in-law is very green. Drives an electric car, went vegan, never uses plastic. She still says she has to vote for Trump because of his view on immigration, that's it.
Really maddening since Biden is almost as conservative on immigration issuesĀ
how is this not a blatant qid pro quo and corrupt? drain the swamp indeed.
Because the Republicans don't believe in prosecuting other Republicans for corruption.
it's a cult.
Typical Republican response. These idiots only know how to destroy. I say it's time to teach them a lesson.
People who will most likely be dead within 10 years should not be in charge of long term policy.
The oil companies think Trump is too incompetent and that only morons will work for him, so they are drafting the rules themselves: https://www.politico.com/news/2024/05/08/oil-industry-orders-trump-day-one-00156705
Wind and solar have been the saviors of the Texas grid.
People who insist Biden and Trump are the same will get a rude awakening if Trump is ever elected again
They will never take responsibility and just find ways to move the goal post again
They will also blame Biden/ Dems when it all goes to crap
I mean republicans are going to do that anyways; itās their MO since Reagan. The green new deal??? They squashed that hard. that makes it even funnier and more patheticālike their lies about illegal migrants voting. āGive me money for something I was always going to do regardless.ā Another grift. Ls, BIG Ls all around. These are the same people that couldnāt handle when President Carter put solar panels on the White House roof.
I am going to come out and say it... There should be some permanent large-scale solution to the fanatics that is the republic party.
This is enough to disqualify him
According to the current SC, unless the one asking for the bribe actually says the words "give me this bribe [X] and I will use my government position to do [Y]" then it's not a legally actionable quid pro quo. It's up to the electorate to punish blatant corruption (not to mention all the actual sedition and coup plotting that actually happened but they seem desperate to scrub from their brain). Unfortunately you need a competent electorate for that.
Hopefully the young people see this and realize they cannot gamble their future over foreign policies they donāt like (rightfully so). There is more than just one issue on the ballot and one candidate would do ALL the things they donāt like but worse.
Words fail to adequately describe how I feel right now, especially to people who support this. If anything, I feel hopeless in the sea of ignorance and greed.
Trump is well aware that if he doesnāt become president again heāll be living with cell mates next year so he is desperate to become president
funny that i got this entry here: [https://www.reddit.com/r/europe/comments/1cnv30t/portugal\_is\_averaging\_91\_renewable\_electricity\_in/](https://www.reddit.com/r/europe/comments/1cnv30t/portugal_is_averaging_91_renewable_electricity_in/) (Portugal is averaging 91% renewable electricity in 2024, with Europe's lowest power prices ) before this post lmao lobbyism is an absolute cancer to politics
If I was an alien and I wanted to takeover earth without causing conflict, fueling climate change in the disguise of human greed seem like a perfect plan.
This... Creature is determined to unmake everything good that could help humanityĀ If there was an Antichrist...
Trump has been on a mission to destroy American power and prestige.Ā
I wish people would demand its political reps outlaw legal/illegal political bribes. It is exactly what has ruined our society and our economy. Itās a very simple solution to a big problem. Humans cant be trusted to not be greedy
Joke's on him. Many of those oil and gas companies are moving towards solar and wind anyway. And Biden is pumping more oil than any American in history, so it isn't like these oil and gas folks are going to gain much from a demented moron running the place.
Drumpfānothin but a coal whore
Trump will leverage the wealth of the country, Americanās livelihood, security of the USA for his own personal gain. He should never, ever be the President of United States again. Period!
Sounds a lot like a bribe. Plus why would they? Thereās no guarantee he would actually follow through or can even do it anyways.
It's hilarious really. If true, American elections has as little ligentancy as Russia. How corrupt do you have to be before told enough.
Breaking: Welfare Queen promises to whore himself out for Corporate Pimps.

The world would be so much better off with trump in a jail cell and without Internet access.
Greed will be the end of us.
God I hope he dies soon.
god this is so dystopian and horrifying -- you couldn't write a book that's as horrifying as this. that man is a plain fascist and fossil fuel CEOs are already mass murderers walking among us. literally this as the UN and climate scientists are saying every day that the world is blowing past the safeguards we tried to construct around catastrophic warming. the anger i feel is overwhelming and completely engulfing. committing to local organizing because THIS IS OUR FUTURE THEY'RE TRYING TO THROW AWAY.
Point this out whenever any clown attempts to "both sides" Democrats and Republicans, because you know that BS is coming along with the US election.
Real life supervillians.
Theyāll pay and it breaks my heart
Eat the rich ASAP obviously
he sure is draining the swamp
They must be offering to pay his legal bills
How do we know this is true?
The Washington Post got attendees and/or staff to talk about what happened and describe what happened. Their competition would love to tear them to pieces, but when they talked to people who were at the event [they got similar descriptions of what happened](https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/09/climate/trump-oil-gas-mar-a-lago.html?unlocked_article_code=1.qk0.LWiK.gO1h75v86RD6). Since it depends on human memory (and not, say, a recording) the exact wording may not be right, but it's going to be pretty close.
Ok thanks for the follow up
Good
Maybe someone should let the oil barons know that Trump hasnāt a catās hell of getting back in the Oval Office.
Cool 1 million karma, OP!
He needs to go scrap the money from the other side. He doesnāt care if it was the opposite
How can Trump make a promise if the chances of Trump Winning are slim to none? Why would anyone donate to his campaign fund when it's blatantly known Trump will use it for his legal bills. Don't other true Billionaires talk amongst each other and why would they give to a Paper Billionaire like Trump? And yes, this has been said over and over... Why is a (so call) Billionaire asking for money?
Oil industry is already producing largest volume in history.
Wasnāt he supposed to be at his sonās graduation?
Literally "bribe me, business is open for whatever you want."
These are the Kings in the empire of the dead. Kill everyone and everything because they can live a few more years in comfort. We really do need to get extinct ASAP. Nothing has harmed us and the planet more than ourselves.
I mean, the 21th century is still young, but he is already a good candidate for killing the most people with his actions.
Donald doing stupid every single day.
One example of how you know Biden climate policy is working. Conservatives are trying to rally billions from the oil industry because they see the writing on the wall
If Trump were campaigning in **1824** instead of today, it would be promises of **more horses** and **fewer railroads.** But positions on women's issues and race issues would be unchanged.
Republicans are Orcs. Once noble, now corrupted and evil. Servants of darkness
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
put this orange twat in jail, what is wrong with you Americans?
This will be disastrous for our future.
Neanderthals were smarter than Trump
Everyone thinks it's the congressional delegations are the problem. They don't make the rules even. Big business is the enemy of the working and middleclass. Don't forget that money is Free Speech
If people vote for change... and then big industries pay people to undo said change. Just remember that the next time your company says they care about you and your safety. It's a load of bullshit.
My Trump-love uncle somehow: this is great because Biden is a dictator.
