Prospects of #Saudi ties to #Israel elusive as #Trump seeks $1 trillion bonanza
When Trump lands in #Riyadh on Tues, he will be greeted w/opulent ceremonies, gilded palaces & the prospect of $1 trillion in investments. But, the raging #war in #Gaza has denied him one goal he has long craved: Saudi-Israel normalization.

Trump’s plan to use Elon Musk’s DOGE to slash federal jobs reeks of corruption and self-dealing. Firing workers with cryptocurrency? It’s a dangerous mix of tech exploitation and conflict of interest. #Project2025 #Corruption #ConflictOfInterest #DOGE #SelfEnrichment” fortune.com/2025/03/25/t...
Trump will be 'pretty much sat...
The by conservatives so called "#DeepState" in the #USA is apparently the #state itself.
Like, you know, bureaucracy, checks n balances, rule of law, that sort of stuff.
And that is now replaced by open #Corruption & #SelfEnrichment of a ruling "elite" in EVERY ASPECT OF SOCIETY.
Americans will look up to places like Somalia as lighthouses of righteousness.

Pete Buttigieg is a smart man.
Sad to see there will be no "big deal" and investing in Americas infrastructure with the new president. Only self-enrichment.

The report, which is based on #TrumpInternationalHotel room records from Sept 2017 & Aug 2018, argues that #Trump violated the #Constitution’s foreign & domestic #emoluments clauses, which were designed to prevent the president & other ofcls from #SelfEnrichment at #taxpayer expense.
The #House #Democrats’ report cites several previously undisclosed instances in which the hotel charged the #SecretService rates that were not only above normal govt per diem rates but above rates it charged others
During #Trump’s presidency, his DC hotel charged the US #SecretService 300% or more above standard government rates on multiple occasions, & at times charged the government agency more than it did other patrons — including a Chinese business & members of a foreign royal family, acc/to a new report released Friday by #Democrats on the #House #Oversight Cmte.

Florida's taxpayers wouldn't know about wannabe-sun king Con DeSantis's travel expenses, if it weren't for Tennessee's Open Records Request option.
"Seven agents from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE), traveling in four different SUVs apparently rented by the state at our expense, squired DeSantis to a small campaign event in Tennessee on Tuesday."
Why wouldn't Floridians know as should be normal? Because his majesty ConDeSanting made his personal "lawmakers" enact a law, that declares all his travel records — even retroactively — to be secret.
Fraudulent Unfreedom of Information à la DeSantis & his parliamentary accomplices, to the disadvantage of Florida's taxpayers.

@Savvyhomestead Let's have a guess: Automatically recurring campaign contributions, copying the Trump-scheme?

IMO, if passed, this bill will decrease sales of #EVs. The #TaxCredit is a buyer #incentive. This limits buyers to specific makes/models. I’m for #AmericanMade, but as a #CoalBaron w/financial ties to #oil & #gas, #JoeManchin’s bill isn’t about American made/sourced components, but #SelfEnrichment.

This is the perfect place for introverts, who can fulfill a need for self expression in a public forum with little risk of initiating an engagement with others. As an ambivert driven deep into my introvert side due to the coronavirus lockdowns, self isolation, distancing, etc., I truly appreciate this instance in my life and all it offers!

The US has more citizens locked up than ANY other country in the world.
It's a shameful horrific embarrassment of what America is supposed to be. Where's the "greatness" in all this hypocrisy?
Land of the Free?
Humanitarian Wars?
Socio-economic-enviro Justice?
Democracy?
Bill of Rights?
Nah, nothing to see here...
