A lot of celebs said they went there for the interview no one else would give them, the prying, the sleazy questions “…doin’ any one famous..?” The “wack pack” of guests…

Gentlemen, latest news from the News Agency of General Bullshit are that the great Hamas are surrendering all weapons and shall in future spend a life of peace and care for the garden at home growing tomatoes. Kind of a loving relationship between the Israeli settler-arseholes and the peaceloving Hamas sweethearts. President Duck of the United States according to him organised this, we congratulate. All trouble is over.

Good news for football, wrongly called soccer elsewhere. 20 Million have been promised to each national organisation resulting in overwhelming applause from  African countries although unwanted elsewhere. Swine-in- Chief Infantino should start to find a new qualifier for the peace prize but who would be ready to follow brain-dead Donald? I actually would but  for a generous fee. Cash only. 

Enjoy the evening folks, finally my Rosé from France arrived and needs to be attacked. Terribly hot over here.

This is more or less admitting you are a thief basically, which anyone with a double digit IQ already knew.

US President Donald Trump frequently boasts about how much money the United States has taken from Venezuela.

Ever since the US military captured then-leader Nicolás Maduro in a brazen operation in January, major decisions about the country's future are being heavily influenced or made from Washington DC.

Some experts see it as a move towards colonial administration and have labelled Venezuela a US "protectorate in all but name".

A murky system of money movement has been implemented by the US too.

Recent reports suggest more than $US13 billion ($18.6 billion) has been collected by the US from Venezuelan oil sales, but Mr Trump has said he thinks it is "even more than that".

"We're taking in a lot of money — billions and billions of dollars from Venezuela," he recently told reporters on Air Force One.

At the same time, more than half the Venezuelan population is believed to be living in extreme poverty. Venezuela has been in a severe economic depression for 13 years.

At the risk of upsetting the dump by questioning his judgement, resulting in him calling me names, wouldn’t it be better if maybe we left some of that money in Venezuela to help the people there? You know “winning of hearts and minds through good deeds..?

So Trump drove his motorcade through the reflecting pool during the renovations and is now blaming the damage on Vandals...

...everything Trump touches turns to shit...

...The Justice Department on Friday said the rush to complete President Donald Trump’s renovation of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool led to “hasty and botched work,” shedding new light on the problems behind the Washington landmark’s $14 million facelift.

In delivering a sharp contradiction to weeks of claims from Trump and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum that vandals destroyed the Reflecting Pool, DC US Attorney Jeanine Pirro attributed the bungled installation to bad weather, testing failures and shipment setbacks.

Trump and Burgum, meanwhile, continue to blame alleged vandals for the deteriorating pool lining, algae blooms and green water that appeared after the renovation. LINK

Capital One says it closed Trump Organization’s accounts after anti-money-laundering review

Disclosure from 2021 investigation marks first time a bank has formally tied money-laundering concerns to Donald Trump

Capital One Financial hit back on Friday against, a lawsuit over its ⁠decision to close the Trump ⁠Organization’s bank accounts years ago, stating that it did so after a review by anti-money-laundering experts.

The disclosure marks the first time a bank has formally tied money-laundering concerns to Donald Trump’s family business. Capital One is seeking to dismiss the case by casting doubt on claims of illegally debanking – or denying services on religious or political grounds – the Trump Organization.

The Trump Organization and ⁠Capital One did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Capital One has never accused the Trump Organization of money laundering. But Friday’s filing argues that “documents and Plaintiffs’ own ‌allegations make clear that Capital One closed ‌Plaintiffs’ accounts for anti-money laundering (‘AML’) reasons...

Gentlemen, President Duck of America hitting a possible jubilee saying for the 25th time that peace negotiation started with most promising results, a spokesman from Iran confirmed that there are no talks except with Oman about some possibility to sail along the Oman coast on a limited level. Further no warriors from the Hamas have so far been seen throwing their weaponry into the Mediterranian Sea or elsewhere. 

Watched some people from all over the US being asked about their opinion of the greatest statesman of all times. What really worried me was that some were praising him for limiting the illegal immigration and somehow improving the economic situation while exactly nobody commented on the shameless enriching of the Trump-gang and them targeting on destroying the democratic system of the US. Digging their own grave I believe.
