Former modeling agent Paolo Zampolli, a Trump confidant who introduced the president to his wife, Melania Trump, allegedly contacted a top Immigration and Customs Enforcement official to help deport his Brazilian ex-girlfriend Amanda Ungaro during a custody battle over their teenage son, according to The New York Times.

Zampolli reportedly approached ICE official David Venturella after Ungaro was arrested on fraud charges at a Miami jail, requesting she be placed in ICE detention, citing her immigration status. Records acquired by The Times indicate Ungaro was picked up by ICE agents before making bail and subsequently deported

"We can't let them fail! They're too big!"

Then you didn't have capitalism.

You had socialism for corporations and "personal responsibility" for everyone else.

Privatised profits, socialised losses.

It's not a bailout. It's theft with a press release.

Everything is fine.

"Most Americans say that they can afford basic necessities like their current housing costs, groceries, utilities and gasoline. But large numbers across income levels also say larger expenses and the cost of things associated with an enjoyable life — including taking a weeklong vacation — are out of reach"

Dame Karen Elizabeth Pierce was the US Ambassador before #Mandelson

She didn't resign or retire, leave because of illness, was dismissed because of misdemeanour or indiscretion

No

She was asked to step aside because they wanted their chum Mandy to do that job
