Graft, grift, and the beat goes on. Not just Mr. Potato Head’s family; let’s get the cabinet secretaries and sons in on the gravy train too.
People who were mad about potential 6 figure grift by Hunter Biden seem to not care about 9-10 figure grifts for some reason.
The United States is planning to inject $1.6 billion into Oklahoma-based miner USA Rare Earth
and will receive a 10% stake in the company, the Financial Times reported on Saturday, citing people familiar with the matter.
The government investment and a separate $1 billion private financing deal are slated to be announced on Monday, the report said.
The company has also brought in Cantor Fitzgerald, an investment banking and brokerage firm chaired by Brandon Lutnick, the son of U.S. Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick, to lead efforts to raise more than $1 billion in fresh equity, the FT said.
He just flew to Switzerland and back, but California is “too far away”.
Sure, dumbass. I guess the part of his brain that hasn’t turned to pudding yet knows the reception he’ll get in the Bay Area at a game that’s going to be at least one west coast team vs. a team from another blue state.
Ehh, a small proportion of the attendees at the Super Bowl are fans of the teams playing, and few are local fans*. It’s mostly high-rollers from around the country (and the world), and wealthy fans willing to spend a fortune to attend.
But, even so, it’s still likely that he’d get booed.
*- Each of the two teams gets about 17% of the tickets, though a lot of those go to family members of players and coaches, and non-field team personnel (i.e., management); the remaining portion gets offered to the team’s fans. The host team (in this case, the 49ers) gets about 5% of the tickets.
It will be interesting to see how he navigates this at the world cup where the audience is likely to be even more anti-Trump than normal, but where he will feel obligated to make an appearance given how much he’s been growing about it.
As a resident of the Southern Hemisphere in the deep south of South Africa where penguins are nesting and often seen on the beach… I might prefer to spot Donald Trump himself in his long-tied penguin suit.
They are evil avians. I think they are bitter that thay can’t fly, and take it out on all of nature. They are really horrible birds, as much as nature documentaries make them look like harmless graceful animals.
I mean, not dissimilar to Donald, he is not someone I want to see on a beach, and neither would the penguins.
For those of you that repeat again and again that trumpism is a cult the Atlantic has a more nuanced analysis:
Only about one quarteer are really cultists. The rest is just fed up with America and blame the others (the enemy). War against the others is legitimate, because they are evil.
Which shows curious similarities to what I think about them. Only there seems to be no anti-trump in sight to beat them. So speaking of the Atlantic, I hope the Atlantic Ocean is wide and deep enough to keep them at bay.
This quote says a lot about our descent into Idiocracy.
Trump’s political skills were forged in WWE arenas, on reality-TV sets, and in the luxury real-estate business—industries that live and die by their ability to capture attention, simplify narratives, and deliver emotional impact.
