#Dutton was Defence Minister who voted for the sale of Darwin Port - he and Turnbull sold it off for short-term gain (and long-term detriment). The then Trade Minister, Andrew Robb, got a 6-figure job with the same company that bought it. #Corrupt #LNPHypocrites #auspol #insiders

America’s Future Is Hungary

MAGA conservatives love Viktor Orbán. But he’s left his country corrupt, stagnant, and impoverished.

How #corrupt does the little orange man need to be before #gop call foul. Pitching #swastikars and digital currency for kick backs in most democratic countries is illegal. musk paid $100 million for the WH infomercial.
But does the former land of the free care? No, nothing to see here

Could on lawmakers, this is not part of any official duty. Just #corruption

"The #Trump Dept of #Justice asserted... the President’s removal power is so all-encompassing that he could fire all female agency heads...

“Could the President decide that he wasn’t going to appoint or allow to remain in office any #female heads of agencies or any heads over 40 years old?” Judge Karen Henderson [asked]
...
“I think that that would be within the President’s constitutional authority under the removal power,” he responded"

We must defend our #democracy. Remember, #authoritarian and #totalitarian countries such as #Russia and #China have an advantage: their govermments cannot be changed. Our - can. This is why we are better, but this is also why we must be extremely careful. They can use money to #bribe and #corrupt. They can share #disinformation and #propaganda. Be careful, dear #European s. Defend your homeland, using your voice before you will have to with your life.

most #usa #democrats are (unfortunately) #corrupt #cowards

Purim in the second term of the #Ahasuerus / #Haman administration:

Purim calls on us to emulate Esther, our model for saving communities threatened by the #corrupt #tyrant and his scheming, evil counselor. Our tradition demands that we intervene on behalf of #refugees, #asylumseekers, #LGBT, #women, #Ukraine, #veterans, #federalemployees, and all those targeted by #hate.

As it was then, so it is today.

my moral compass
insists it's pointing steady,
that the world's spinning

This will go down in #history as the most #corrupt #administration by far

The #US is starting to resemble #russia in the '90s, with #corrupt #oligarchs grabbing whatever they can. While in the '90s this was done by buying old #soviet companies, today the money is made through crypto #scams and massive #government deals.

Es darf auch mal was Positives gesagt werden:

Der Wert von #Tesla hat seit Dezember 2024 ca. 33% abgenommen.

(Leider ein Grund, weshalb sich Musk nun am amerikanischen Volk/Staat masslos bereichern muss und seine eigenen Unternehmen subventionieren lässt bzw. sich einträgliche staatliche Verträge zusichert.)
