    The corruption continues...

    Exciting News’: Trump Brags About Gutting Anti-Money Laundering Law

    The Trump administration won’t enforce a Treasury Department rule requiring shell companies to disclose their owners and beneficiaries

    https://www.rollingstone.com/politi...gutting-anti-money-laundering-law-1235286134/

    Between all Trump's shell companies, LLCs, offshore bank accounts, crypto, and other businesses he's going to be reeling in money like never before. How is making all his dirty deals and bribery, and money funneling legal going to make America Great? This all reeks of corruption.

    Trump’s New Crypto Reserve Is Open Corruption


    Just a few hours before Trump’s announcement, someone bought $200 million in Ethereum and Bitcoin, raising the question of who may have known about the plan ahead of time.

    it'd not be far-fetched to point the finger at the venture firm linked to Trump's crypto czar David Sacks

    Trump’s Backers Fling Open America’s Door to Money Launderers

    The No. 1 country to stash illicit funds will become even more welcoming to criminals.


    “the best place to hide and launder ill-gotten gains is actually the United States,”

    Department officials in various forms ever since.
    Conflict finance, drug trafficking, terrorism, kleptocracy, sanctions busting, and a host of other global ills are facilitated by money laundering in the United States.

    But despite former President Donald Trump’s pronounced “tough-on-crime” approach, other parts of the Republican Party platform, the conservative Heritage Foundation think tank’s “Project 2025” strategy document, and several of Trump’s so-called crypto bro backers have advocated disassembling crucial aspects of U.S. institutions aimed at anti-money laundering and countering terrorism finance (AML-CTF).

    Free speech!

    Fearing Retribution, Trump Critics Muzzle Themselves - The New York Times


    ‘People Are Going Silent’: Fearing Retribution, Trump Critics Muzzle Themselves
    People say they are intimidated by online attacks from the president, concerned about harm to their businesses or worried about the safety of their families.

    The silence grows louder every day.

    Fired federal workers who are worried about losing their homes ask not to be quoted by name. University presidents fearing that millions of dollars in federal funding could disappear are holding their fire. Chief executives alarmed by tariffs that could hurt their businesses are on mute.

    Even longtime Republican hawks on Capitol Hill, stunned by President Trump’s revisionist history that Ukraine is to blame for its invasion by Russia, and his Oval Office blowup at President Volodymyr Zelensky, have either muzzled themselves, tiptoed up to criticism without naming Mr. Trump or completely reversed their positions.

    More than six weeks into the second Trump administration, there is a chill spreading over political debate in Washington and beyond.

    People on both sides of the aisle who would normally be part of the public dialogue about the big issues of the day say they are intimidated by the prospect of online attacks from Mr. Trump and Elon Musk, concerned about harm to their companies and frightened for the safety of their families. Politicians fear banishment by a party remade in Mr. Trump’s image and the prospect of primary opponents financed by Mr. Musk, the president’s all-powerful partner and the world’s richest man.

    JP Morgan was Epsteins banker. They paid a fine.

    I’m-about less rules. They don’t enforce this stuff against the elite anyway.

    Foreign policy is a euro / Davos type outlet.

    Who gets to decide what’s an issue and what’s not?

    I wonder who was Epistein's best friend according to his own words?



    Its always funny how the braindead MAGA cultist pretend trump and epistein weren't best friends. Its always even funnier how braindead cultists forget Epistein died under their cult leaders watch.

    It’s the normal voices that cry about this stuff but it’s okay when they do it.

    Elizabeth Warren is a perfect example. Always crying about banks and bitcoin and this crap yet has amassed a fortune and the banks fund her campaigns.

    95% of the media is controlled. We don’t know **** about anything.

    Keep deflecting to random talking points. You mentioned Epistein without stating him and Trump were best friends. Trump rode with Epistein on his private plane for decades lol.

    Its just funny how brainwashed you cultists truly are. You people are going to be a laughing stock in the future. You cultists were brainwashed by Trump of all people LOL

    These people are so dumb that I feel bad picking on them. They have no idea how to think critically.

    Maybe you didn’t notice what I said in another thread today. I am angry at the current administration for not uncovering the list yet. I explained this in another thread. You see, I am not tied to one side like some of you are. Most people in this echo chamber will die on any stupid lefty hill.

    Unfortunately
    I think things are far far darker and evil than any of us like to think about.
    Can’t take all the black pills It will wreck us.

    You’re a clown. Way too partisan and blind to ever have a serious conversation with.

    I'm a clown for stating facts . Whatever floats your boat buddy. Not one thing I've ever posted was disinformation or lies.

    The facts: Trump and Epistein were best friends. Epistein knew the inner workings of the Trump administration. Epstein died under Trump's watch.

    Accept reality that your cult leader is compromised.

    I already said what the real hold up is in another thread. You’re just way too frothy for something, anything being pinned on Trump. Also, taking what Epstein says as 100% truth and trying to pass it off as undeniable facts is spreading disinformation. Just so ya know. We all do it. It’s ok little biden boy.

    LOL! Are you actually telling us that we can't trust Epistein's words ?! LOL! Epistein is lying suddenly now even though we have tons of records to back up his claims!

    Donald Trump was the individual who wished "ghasille maxwell good luck" and claimed she was a "good individual" AFTER she was arrested



    Episteins victims claimed it was Trump alongside Epistein decades before Trump ran for office



    You're brainwashed and lost control of the plot. Your cult leader and orange Jesus is the guilty one

    He ended any contact with him. They tried to get him. If he was gonna be exposed, it would be out by now. Dem loyal fbi would have leaked it. Trump banned him from maralargo….

    I told you they are protecting intelligence assets and Israel and maybe want the leverage. Trump is all about leverage.
    He wants anyone that thinks they may get caught up scared.

    All that being said, nothing would surprise me at this point.

    "He ended any contact with him" oh really? Want to show us evidence that he cut him off? If he cut him off how did Epistein know the inner dealings of the WH?

    Its hilarious how the MAGA cultists are telling everyone not to listen to Epistein's own words and it's somehow all lies even though it's coming from his own words
