Do not visit the reflecting pool in DC!
“All this stuff is volatile. People are breathing in poisonous chemicals. There’s no consideration to the risk to the public in applying this stuff." - never mind the workers!
Handing out contracts is only supposed to happen if competition would cause "serious injury" to the govt. Cost was promised to be $1.8M, now will cost $13.1M...

Giuffra’s efforts on Adani’s behalf culminated in a previously unreported meeting last month at the #DOJ’s headquarters in Washington…. Giuffra ticked through ~100 slides outlining why prosecutors lacked basic evidence, as well as the jurisdiction to bring the case….

Another slide also offered the government a sweetener [#bribe]: If prosecutors dropped the charges, Adani would be willing to invest $10 billion in the US #economy & create 15,000 jobs….

In the US, oligarchs are still accumulating their wealth with impunity. More to the point, nobody is yet trying very hard to stop them.

I have a cunning plan....

The UN should announce that it is going to award #Trump a special peace prize for graciously not obliterating #Iran. The prize is a 20 meter tall solid gold statue of Trump himself that will be worth 100s of millions of dollars just in the weight of the gold. They can throw in a few million or billion of his preferred #bribe #cryptocurrency too, why not. He is worth it after all.

There is one teeny tiny catch... The award ceremony will be held in #TheHague and Trump has to attend in person unless he doesn't get the prize.

He won't be able to resist and he will drag along all his minions too. A sort of try one get 500 free deal for #fascists and #terrorists

Oh, I had forgotten about the midterm elections voter bribe & $ 1.5T military budget blackmail combo that is the "Trump Account".

Nice touch to have Robinhood involved. The headlines write themselves.
