It did not have to be like this. The Trump administration rejected Joshua Wong's asylum claim in 2020.
Nancy Pelosi @pelosi.house.gov · 2w agoBeijing’s unjust prosecution of Joshua Wong is an appalling abuse of power. Everyone who truly cares about democracy should be proud to stand with him and the people of Hong Kong. Advocacy for freedom is not a crime and the international community must immediately demand his release.
In other words, hundreds of federal agents are being diverted away from their normal jobs and instead told to find needles in a haystack — all to find evidence for Trump's predetermined conclusions. It's a great time to be a criminal in Trump's America.

When Canadians found out that Kristi Noem was helping push a copper venture in BC people rose up. The phone lines of the company were jammed. The stock price crashed. The company lost so much value they had to change their name. FAFO. We aren't kidding around. youtube.com/shorts/82CHJ...

Awed by this DOJ filing in the "can Trump put his name on the Kennedy Center" litigation in which the DOJ lawyer uses the phrase "conflicts of interest" to refer to, like, the fact that parties to a case have different goals. Borderline illiterate stuff. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

They stopped flagging them, the transactions didn't drop in number. I know you're hoping no one reads the story. All this says is there's no need to flag transactions when they know cases won't be prosecuted and the banks still get their cut.
