Tim Bale@timbale.bsky.social · last wk.WOW! "...mailing a series of threatening deliveries to the Steiners’ home in 2019, including a box of live cockroaches, a bloody pig’s head mask and a funeral wreath. The Steiners also accused executives of online harassment, including online posts inviting strangers to their house for sex."
It feels to me the basic point about the Fifa 20% 'cut' that Dump was basically out to do a Putin 'i want x%' of the business - and Fifa - hardly known for its ethical standards - managed to jump the shark on the shake-down. It feels like media blaming solely infantino is missing the wider point.

the most corrupt US president ever - he has carpet bagged the US selling it short in every dimension.
The New York Times@nytimes.com · last wk.In 2017, most of the revenue President Trump’s businesses generated came from his domestic golf and real estate portfolio. By the first year of his second term, his business holdings had transformed and expanded in areas where he wields immense power. Take a closer look. trib.al/313eKiF
Wapo: Republicans see ‘scary’ lack of enthusiasm among core voters ahead of midterms ah - time to fire up the shit coins again and get a couple of foreign state actors to buy them up just after the election...
Wapo: How the Greenland standoff pushed Europe to prep for war with the U.S. Interesting that it was Dump's friend Ron Lauder who was pushing the purchase idea...
Rare common sense it seems from the US these days. Whoever thought there was an alliance for the making with Russia as part of the cover up of Dump's self affiliation with the putin regime was high on kool aid.

Contrast this situation with the sacking of the Dump teleprompter and consider exactly what the difference is. As far as I can see its that Dump's company makes money directly from this scenario.
@nadaburger.bsky.social · 3w agoI can't emphasise enough how corrupt this is - in computing terms this is telling a favourite few "invited to pay" friends in the financial markets what you are going to say a week in advance so they can trade in advance of everyone.
Trump is about to present the World Cup trophy to the European country that he has demonised more than any other. 🤌

Russian 'research' ship AKADEMIK NIKOLAY SHRAKOV 8211174 had an unfortunate 4 hour engine breakdown just south of port of Ystad, Swedish territory. They were offered assistance from both Navy and Coast Guard, but declined. Left Kaliningrad yesterday. Ie, Russian navy stopped to spy, in Sweden.
While we’re on the topic of declassifying intelligence assessments…. Trump’s IC still hasn’t released the unclassified version of the IC assessment of the 2024 election- something released within months of the 2020 and 2022 federal elections. Why won’t he? What’s the hold up?
Gabriel Sterling, a Republican elections official in the Georgia Secretary of State's office, says Trump presented nothing new about the 2020 election and that his claims are simply an excuse for when Republicans ultimately lose this year's midterms.
