Exclusive: #JaredKushner pitching donors on father-in-law #Trump, sources say
Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, has been making calls to encourage donors to attend a Trump fundraiser in NY, 2 sources told @Reuters, in one of the first indications of #Kushner working to help re-elect his father-in-law.
A fmr WH adviser to #Trump 🤣, Kushner stepped away from politics after Trump's term ended in 2021 & founded Miami-based private equity firm Affinity Partners.
Paul Booth, formerly chair of SABIC UK Petrochemicals & Steve Gibson, owner of Middlesbrough football club, told the FT the public should have a greater share of the Teesworks regeneration project chaired by Tory Mayor Ben Houchen.
They estimated that the public purse would lose £350m-£550m in rent over the next 10 to 12 years due to Houchen’s gifting the stake held by two local businessmen to 90 per cent for no cash consideration. #ToryCorruption#Teesside#Grift
"IN THE FIRST WEEK OF HIS CRIMINAL TRIAL, Donald Trump raised about $5.6 million online by warning his small dollar-donors that the 'Deep State' was out to lock him up."
Trump sent out an email when jury selection began, saying Biden's attacking him, and his disciples responded by sending $1.6 million in response to the email. He took in another $1 million the rest of the week, mostly from small donors.
"Today is the fourth anniversary of the press conference in which former president Donald Trump suggested injecting disinfectant to get rid of Covid, prompting the maker of Lysol to warn people not to use their disinfectant cleaning products internally. Four years later, Trump spent the day in a Manhattan courtroom, where his former friend David Pecker, who ran the company that published the National Enquirer tabloid magazine, testified for the prosecution."
Noah Berlatsky on how the corporate media and not just Fox help serve Trump's interests:
"Trump is a creature of publicity and propaganda, with a talent for shameless self-promotion and self-marketing. He’s put his brand on everything from Trump steaks to Trump bibles. As a recognizable figure who regularly says controversial and shocking things, he’s a riveting story for journalists."
"When RNC co-chair and Trump daughter-in-law Lara Trump blasted out a robocall last week claiming 'massive fraud' in the 2020 election, it was a continuation of one of the great long cons in history. Four years and counting …
The Big Lie is a criminal conspiracy, a long con, a grift, and essentially a Trump family business opportunity."

The judiciary are horrible corrupt. Judge Cannon Fodder and many others placed in their positions by the Federalist Society to fix decisions the way the billionaires want them.
@lin11c Yes, that has been a big revelation of the Trump era, seems to me, and really, the era prior to this, as we've seen the Supreme Court become a wrecking engine destroying democracy at the behest of the Republican party and the super-rich.
