The US is F.U.B.A.R. The budget reconciliation bill MAGA passed is like throwing dynamite in a fire.

"I use the word #payoff because it implies #corruption, and that's what we're talking about here.
Our founders put into our #Constitution a prohibition on government officials, including the president, accepting payments, gifts from foreign governments. ... And that's why the Constitution includes this #EmolumentsClause and says that the president and others cannot accept such gifts, unless Congress specifically authorizes it."

"As Donald Trump retreats from his tariffs on China in the trade war he started, MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell explains how Trump, the “most corrupt president,” has been telling Americans to pay higher prices because of his tariffs while he wants to accept from a foreign country “the most expensive private plane in the world.”

Trump-aligned club for the ultra rich launches in #Washington - POLITICO

The referral requirements & prohibitive pricing is meant to ensure the C-suite crowd can mingle with #Trump advisers & #cabinet members without the prying eyes of the press & wanna-be insiders. The price tag won’t be a problem for Trump’s cabinet — given it’s by far the wealthiest in history.

The club already has a waitlist.

CALVIN: If I’ve learned one thing in life, it’s that everyone has his price. Raise the ante high enough and there’s no such thing as scruples! People will do anything if the price is right!

FINALLY the #Senate Finance #Committee announces an #inquiry into #JaredKushner's overseas business activities. Re: Kushner's $2B payout from the #Saudis, the Treasury Dept's former head #ethics counsel V. Cantor said "It’s one of the most egregious situations I’ve ever seen in decades of working in the federal #government as an ethics official. It appears to be a #payoff as much as a potential investment."

#MichaelCohen, who was then #Trump's #fixer, would later set up a similarly named company, #EssentialConsultants, to #payoff #StormyDaniels.

Lots of evidence per the disguised monetary transactions related to the #KarenMcDougal deal. But most of the #jurors are still paying close attention, turning their heads from the prosecutor, Joshua #Steinglass, to the #witness, #Pecker, & back again.

#DanielRotstein, the man #Pecker used in an ultimately failed effort to secretly obtain reimbursement for the #KarenMcDougal deal, was his own #fixer of sorts. Pecker had long used him to deliver the news that employees would be fired, to the point that Rotstein became known at Pecker's company as "Dr.
Death."

David Pecker is describing #MichaelCohen's creation of a #ShellCompany, #ResolutionConsultants, to reimburse Pecker for his #payoff to McDougal.
