They were critical of how Amazon forces their drivers to take a **** in a bag cuz they don't get restroom breaks. It spoke about how amazon steals their sellers IP and trade secrets to help manufacturer their own in store label for the same product. I can go on and on but none of it matters cuz the oligarchs are in power and they will eliminate any hurdle that stops them from consolidating more power. Man it's just so disgusting how utterly corrupt the administration is.
What a ****ing joke. Disbanding the organization that went after big tech bcz the oligarchs are paying Trump to protect them. What a ****ing joke. Utter **** show.
Uhh that stuff has been around for years. Where are the blogs. I want to read them. Your one example was lame and if they rest were like them, they should be deleted.
Dude go read the ftc suit against Amazon ( https://www.publishersweekly.com/pw...r-look-at-the-ftc-lawsuit-against-amazon.html ) or if you're too lazy find a video that explains it. Amazon was stealing their sellers IP/secrets and creating Amazon brands for the same products. Amazon was extorting book publishers for higher % than the original agreement or else they'd be kicked off the platform. Why are you asking me for the blogs? Trump folks deleted them cuz Bezos paid Trump 100 million for his inauguration. Billionaires don't give money away for no reason.
Lol why do you need a blog for an ftc suit. Dear Diary, I mean blog. Lina Khan here! OMG! OMG! OMFG! Let me tell you about Amazon. OMG! You will not believe this! I'm dead! They treat their drivers bad and steal IP! I'm going to sue them! Girl power!! Lol a blog. Idiot. Didn't blogs die like 50 years ago at the Bay of Pigs or something. Fking boomer. Give the government back it's money you swindled from your Medicare scam already.
I helped the government recoup over 120 million dollars in actual fraud which to this day is a record in Houston lol ( https://www.justice.gov/archives/op...ities-pay-122-million-settle-false-claims-act ) . I have contributed more to America than your pathetic dumbass will ever in your entire life. I don't know why you think you can get under my skin. It never works cuz I'm not a insecure little b**** like yall
Trump disgusts me. When it comes to his own family, the real grift is always the most obvious. They are always treated far differently than Trump treats anyone else's family. Trump gave six months extra Secret Service protection to his kids, three officials. It cost taxpayers $1.7 million. In June, former Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin visited Israel to scout investments for his new company, then flew to Qatar for a conference. At the time, Mnuchin had been out of office for five months. But, because of an order given by President Donald Trump, he was still entitled to protection by Secret Service agents. As agents followed Mnuchin across the Middle East, the U.S. government paid up to $3,000 each for their plane tickets, and $11,000 for rooms at Qatar’s luxe St. Regis Doha, according to government spending records. In all, the records show U.S. taxpayers spent more than $52,000 to guard a multimillionaire on a business trip. Ivanka Trump and her husband, former White House adviser Jared Kushner, the records show. The receipts showed the pair visiting resort destinations: Hawaii, Utah ski country, an upscale Wyoming ranch and Kiawah Island, S.C. Agents also followed Kushner — now a private businessman — to the United Arab Emirates in May, paying $9,000 for hotel rooms, according to federal spending data posted online. The Secret Service did not say what the airfare costs were for this Kushner trip. The Daily Beast reported that the hotel was the Ritz Carlton in Abu Dhabi, citing a government spending document that said the hotel was Kushner’s choice. https://www.washingtonpost.com/poli...aa6348-156a-11ec-a5e5-ceecb895922f_story.html Donald Trump gave his adult children 6 months of Secret Service protection after he left office, at the taxpayers' expense, says report Several of the payments were made to Trump's own company. Agents were billed for the rooms they used while protecting his children, the paper reported. "The patriotic thing would obviously be not charging the government to stay at your properties and not profiting or profiteering off the government," Libowitz told the paper. https://www.businessinsider.com/don...-secret-service-protection-to-his-kids-2021-9
https://www.axios.com/2025/04/28/magas-coming-clubhouse-executive-branch Aspiring members of a new MAGA moguls club, Executive Branch, are offering to pay double the listed membership fee of $500,000 to get off the waiting list, a source close to the club tells Axios. Finishing touches are being put on the clubhouse, which is to open in Georgetown next month with a bar, lounge, restaurant and boardroom, the source tells us. At an announcement party on White House Correspondents' Dinner weekend, guests were offered caviar as they walked into The Occidental restaurant, near the White House. Why it matters: The club — with Donald Trump Jr. as a lead investor, and membership tightly screened for loyalty to President Trump — will be a sumptuous retreat for rubbing shoulders with cabinet members and West Wing officials, with no danger of running into reporters or Democrats. Besides Don Jr., the owners are financier Omeed Malik; Chris Buskirk, of 1789 Capital, who's close to Vice President Vance; and Alex Witkoff and Zach Witkoff, sons of real estate developer Steve Witkoff, the president's close friend and Middle East envoy. Founding members include David Sacks, White House A.I. and crypto czar, and co-star of the "All-In" podcast; his "All-In" colleague Chamath Palihapitiya; superlobbyist Jeff Miller; and the Winklevoss twins, who are co-founders of a crypto platform. The club — which, Politico reported, aims to be the highest-end private club Washington has ever had — is getting heavy interest from "the donor community and the international community," we're told. For the club to take your check, you need to be approved by the owners — like with other exclusive clubs, you need to know somebody and be vouched for. Saturday night's party, with separate VIP and VVIP sections, drew Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Attorney General Pam Bondi, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, FCC chair Brendan Carr, FTC chair Andrew Ferguson, SEC chair Paul Atkins, deputy FBI director Dan Bongino and Mehmet Oz, administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Also: Laura Ingraham; White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt; White House deputy chiefs of staff Taylor Budowich and James Blair; Treasury's Alexandra Preate, Cora Alvi and Paras Malik; Arthur Schwartz, trusted adviser to Vance and Don Jr.; and Garrett Ventry, founder of GRV Strategies.
Duh - the grift has always been in. There is a reason that you saw people like Zuckerberg, Bezos, Kelcy Warren, Lutnick and Scott Bessnet come out so strong in their support once it became obvious Trump would win. The wealthiest are out with their knives and forks knowing that if they don't get in now - they will never have a better chance.
It's always interesting you see Cons post Hunter's art grift and revenge pics in order to justify the more blatant acts of corruption when they're in power. The meme coins from Trump and Melania were way over whatever Hunter influence peddled, yet here we are with the same Freedom lovin, Corruption hatin Patriots slinking back into the fields of silence.
The psychology is simple - they point out any transgression, no matter how small and then use that to justify any behavior by their party. It works very well too. It is like me shooting someone in the face, and when you gasp - I remind you that you told the neighbor to **** off when he threw garbage in your yard. What I find so interesting is that so many white and young men push this concept of being an alpha male - yet they cower to the bidding of whomever they view as their strong man, be that Trump or Putin or any other authoritarian figure. It makes them the ultimate cucks.
Yeah, it's totally projection, yet somehow Americans are trained at giving Cons a bigger pass for being Cons. Ideally it should be a bipartisan effort to root out corruption, but watchmen watch the watchmen and they're good at convincing their tribes the villains they fight are worse.
https://www.palmbeachpost.com/story...y-biden-diary-scandal-betsy-fago/83323718007/ Trump pardons Palm Beach Gardens tax cheat two weeks after judge sentenced him to prison President Donald Trump pardoned Paul Walczak, a Palm Beach Gardens health care executive convicted of tax evasion for siphoning more than $10.9 million in payroll taxes from the paychecks of doctors and nurses. Prosecutors said he used the money to finance a lavish lifestyle and luxury goods, including a $2 million yacht. This is quaint corruption compared to the all the crypto stuff going on.
At a Dubai Conference, Trump’s Conflicts Take Center Stage Sitting in front of a packed auditorium in Dubai, a founder of the Trump family cryptocurrency business made a brief but monumental announcement on Thursday. A fund backed by Abu Dhabi, he said, would be making a $2 billion business deal using the Trump firm’s digital coins. That transaction would be a major contribution by a foreign government to President Trump’s private venture — one that stands to generate hundreds of millions of dollars for the Trump family. And it is a public and vivid illustration of the ethical conflicts swirling around Mr. Trump’s crypto firm, which has blurred the boundary between business and government. Even the roster of panelists onstage in Dubai highlighted how much the Trump family’s business interests now blur with United States policy and regulation. Virtually every detail of Mr. Witkoff’s announcement, made during a conference panel with Mr. Trump’s second-eldest son, contained a conflict of interest. MGX’s use of the World Liberty stablecoin, USD1, brings a Trump family company into business with a venture firm backed by a foreign government. The deal creates a formal link between World Liberty and Binance — a company that has been under U.S. government oversight since 2023, when it admitted to violating federal money-laundering laws. Once a crypto skeptic, President Trump embraced digital currencies on the campaign trail last year as the industry poured tens of millions of dollars into the 2024 election. In September, he and his sons unveiled World Liberty, which they pitched as a new kind of internet bank that would allow people to borrow and lend money using cryptocurrencies. Since then, World Liberty has sold $550 million worth of a new cryptocurrency called $WLFI, with a large cut of the revenue earmarked for a business entity tied to the Trump family. In March, the company also created a stablecoin — a type of digital currency designed to maintain a price of $1, making it convenient to use for large transactions because its value doesn’t swing like a stock’s. The company’s dealings have created conflicts of interest with no precedent in modern U.S. history. Some of the investors who bought $WLFI coins are foreign nationals who have been barred from supporting a president via campaign contributions or donations to the inaugural fund. And many of the firm’s corporate partners have clear incentives to curry favor with the federal government as they seek to expand in the American market. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/01/...rency-usd1-dubai-conference-announcement.html Trump is a lifetime con, and he will continue to profit off his power as long as he can get away with it. He isn't even trying to hide the facts of his entire family involved in the grift and conflicts of interest anymore. But what about Hunter Biden they all say. What a joke. The Trump's run a family criminal enterprise.
Power of judges to hold Trump administration in contempt may be undermined with filibuster-proof GOP proposal The ability of federal judges to hold the Trump administration in contempt for defying their orders could be undermined by legislation approved by a House Republican-led committee late Wednesday in a bill that may be impossible for Senate Democrats to filibuster. Republicans say that the provision is aimed at discouraging frivolous lawsuits. Democrats and the administration’s legal opponents charge that GOP lawmakers are seeking to give President Donald Trump the green light to engage in illegal conduct that had been prohibited by courts. “Instead of providing support for the judicial branch, this Judiciary Committee bill seeks to strip to strip the courts of their power to hold the administration in contempt when the President violates court orders,” Maryland Rep. Jamie Raskin, the top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, said before Wednesday’s vote. The legislation comes amid a multi-front campaign by Trump and his allies to attack the legal institutions that are serving as a check on his aggressive use of presidential power. That has included smearing judges who have ruled against his policies and issuing executive orders targeting law firms that represent his political foes. The Justice Department has also at times resisted providing courts with information relevant to the disputes before them. The House proposal would defund the enforcement of contempt orders if the judge had previously not ordered the plaintiffs in the case to put up a security bond with a preliminary injunction or temporary restraining order granted in their favor – essentially making it more expensive to challenge administrative policies. Notably the language is retroactive, so if it became law, it would hamstring a court’s ability to hold the administration in contempt for defying a court order issued before the bill was enacted if the judge had denied bond. The Trump administration has already faced the possibility of contempt proceedings for allegedly not complying with an order from Judge James Boasberg that sought to halt the deportation of certain migrants. Those proceedings have been put on hold by the DC US Circuit Court of Appeals, but if Boasberg is given the okay to restart them and they resulted in a contempt order, there would be no funding available for him to enforce it under the bill. Judges have several options for punishing defiance of their orders, including with fines and other penalties. Boasberg had taken the extraordinary step of ordering criminal contempt proceedings – which could lead him to appoint a special master to prosecute a finding of contempt if the Justice Department refused to do so. A spokesperson for House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan denied that the bill was about undermining courts’ contempt authority – pointing to court rules that govern the bond requirements the bill seeks to encourage. “This provision is strictly about stopping frivolous lawsuits by requiring plaintiffs to post a bond prior to filing for a TRO or preliminary injunction as required by Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65,” the spokesperson, Russell Dye said in a statement. (The rule requires that courts order bond that would be “proper to pay the costs and damages sustained by any party found to have been wrongfully enjoined or restrained.”) It comes on the heels of efforts by Trump to make it more costly for his opponents to sue him through bond requirements. In an executive order earlier this year, Trump directed the Justice Department to seek bond in any case challenging his policies, regardless the circumstances. Those attorneys have done so, often requesting tens of thousands of dollars to be put up by the plaintiffs if they were granted orders in their favor. Judges’ willingness to require bond has varied case by case, with some judges – perhaps trollishly – requiring bond at very low amounts. Under the legislation, judges would lose their contempt power if they denied bond while issuing court orders against the administration – and without contempt, there would be no mechanism to force an administration to comply with those orders, critics say. The bond that is being sought by the Justice Department in some of the challenges to Trump’s agenda “is almost unpayable by any plaintiff,” said Robert Weissman, co-president of Public Citizen, which is a public interest group that has spearheaded several major lawsuits against the administration. “The purpose of this is to prevent judges from enjoining what they found to be illegal behavior,” he said. Procedural and legal hurdles There are several more legislative steps before the proposal becomes law as well as procedural and legal hurdles. It’s unclear whether the provision complies with the Senate rules that limit what lawmakers can pass via the reconciliation process. The Judiciary Committee was voting on a package of provisions Wednesday that would be its offering for the larger House reconciliation bill. But the provision could be stripped out during its journey to the Senate or when it’s in the upper chamber. There are also questions about its constitutionality and whether Congress unlawfully is stripping an inherent authority of the judiciary, according to Weissman. The committee voted down an amendment offered by Democrats that would have removed the provision from the larger reconciliation package the committee was considering. “MAGA Republicans are trying to use this spending bill to keep Americans from using the courts to constrain Trump’s illegal actions,” said Georgia Democratic Rep. Hank Johnson. “They’re saying that, unless you hand over a lot of money when Trump and his administration violate your rights, they can just keep on violating them.” https://www.cnn.com/2025/05/01/politics/judges-contempt-undermined-house-republicans
