what kind of shithole country allows its president to accept ginormous bribes
Donny’s gifted his very own jet — and gets to keep it
remember that beady-eyed clown-college reject, Comer Fudd? remember how he squandered four entire years tying to catch that wascally wabbit, Bugs Biden?
Comer Fudd was so convinced that the so-called “Biden crime family” had taken a five million dollar bribe from China that he wasted everyone’s time on one pointless hearing after another — and the only thing he ever found was Hunter Biden’s freakishly oversized trouser snake.
where the fuck is James Comer now? has anyone seen him lately? because at this very moment, we’ve got an actual corrupt president enriching himself off easily-provable bribes from foreign actors — and all we’re hearing from Republicans is crickets.
look at this flagrant in-your-face bullshit.
The Trump administration plans to accept a luxury Boeing 747-8 plane as a donation from the Qatari royal family that will be upgraded to serve as Air Force One, which would make it one of the biggest foreign gifts ever received by the U.S. government, several American officials with knowledge of the matter said.
that’s right: you get two government-approved dolls and five pencils, and Donny gets his very own private jet worth four hundred million dollars — because fuck you, that’s why.
Donny’s getting a new Air Force One because he absolutely loathes the current one. he’s been whining about it for years. he thinks it’s a shithole. why? because there’s no tacky gold crappery in sight. it’s just some ordinary fucking airplane. how boring, and how unbefitting of the self-styled Pope-Emperor of America.
so here comes the Qatari royal family, and they’re all hey Donny. we’ve got a big Boeing jet, just for you. you’ll love it — it’s packed to the gills with gaudy golden tat. here, it’s yours. out of the goodness of our hearts.
Donny’s been pining after this vulgar flying bordello since forever.
It’s bigger and newer than Air Force One — and so opulently configured that it’s known as “a flying palace.” (No report on whether it contains a golden toilet.)
Apparently he’s been talking about the plane for months. In February, he toured it while it was parked at Palm Beach International Airport.
here’s a fun quiz: when is an Air Force One not actually an Air Force One? give up? it’s when all protocols for accepting presidential gifts are ignored.
The Constitution (Article I, Section 9) prohibits anyone in the US Government from receiving a personal gift from a foreign head of state without the consent of Congress.
this garish jet is not a gift to America. it’s a personal gift to Donny Convict. the short-fingered fuck gets to keep it when his nightmarish time in office finally comes to an end.
The plane would then be donated to President Trump’s presidential library when he leaves office, two senior officials said. Such a gift raises the possibility that Mr. Trump would have use of the plane even after his presidency ends.
“donated” is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that paragraph. way to greedwash naked corruption, New York Times.
“Trump’s presidential library” — what a laugh. Donny doesn’t need a ‘presidential library’ — the illiterate shitwad doesn’t read. what’s going to be in Donny’s library? a well-thumbed stack of golf scorecards and boxes of pilfered classified documents?
it’s embarrassing that the leader of our country is such an easily-bribed child. just wave some gold-painted piece of shit in his face and he comes running.
if you went to any Hollywood studio and pitched a movie about some gold-obsessed halfwit boy-king who went around accepting bribes — and got away with it — they’d throw you out of the office, because who would believe such obvious twaddle?
yet, here we are with Golden Donny, the greedy dumbfuck who’s tarted up the Oval worse than some Las Vegas dog’s breakfast.
so, what is Qatar getting in return?
any fucking thing it wants — because that’s how the game is played in Donnyville. one hand washes the other.
This week Trump takes the first overseas trip of his second presidency. He’ll land in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday, followed by a visit to Qatar, and then to the United Arab Emirates (U.A.E).
That’s a big boost for Qatar right there.
Trump also just did what Qatar has been wanting done for years — announcing that the Persian Gulf (as it’s been known since at least 550 B.C.) will henceforth be known as the Arabian Gulf.
Trump’s company has just announced a new golf resort in Qatar, reportedly partnering with a company owned by the royal family.
Qatar is also pushing the Trump regime to lift sanctions on Syria.
just what the world needs, another skeevy golf motel — and since when does Donny get to rename any body of water he wants? who granted him this power?
I don’t recall the Supreme Court ruling that Donny is a Very Special Boy who gets to sharpie the shit out of the globe, do you?
so where are all the congressional investigations? imagine that Sleepy Joe Brandon had accepted some $400 million flying abomination. Comer Fudd would have ogasmed on the spot. he would have thought he had died and gone to heaven.
hello, Jimmy? are you there?
where is Attorney General Pam Bondi? oh wait, never mind.
US President-elect Donald Trump’s new pick for US attorney general, Pam Bondi, worked as a lobbyist on behalf of the government of Qatar.
In July 2019, Bondi, a partner in the DC office of the powerful lobbying group Ballard Partners, was registered through the firm to influence Capitol Hill on human trafficking issues on behalf of the Gulf state for a fee of $115,000 per month.
but Uncle Jeff, I hear you asking, what if I want to bribe Dear Leader, but I’m not a member of a royal family with spare jets lying around?
no problem, pal — just “invest” in one of Donny’s crypto scams. all the cool countries are doing it.
are you in private industry? no worries, ace — Donny’s happy to take your money, too.
An international trucking logistics firm is buying as much as $20 million worth of President Donald Trump’s crypto coins to influence the administration’s trade policy — the precise sort of corruption that experts warned Trump was encouraging when he unveiled his venture.
Freight Technologies Inc. CEO Javier Selgas said in a Wednesday news release that buying Trump coin would be “an effective way to advocate for fair, balanced and free trade between Mexico and the U.S.”
it doesn’t even matter if the price of the crypto goes up or down — Donny’s raking in billions just on transaction fees alone.
hey, here’s a fun story that I’m including here for no particular reason.
In 1946, a group of Russian children from the Vladimir Lenin All-Union Pioneer Organisation (sort of a Soviet scouting group) presented a carved wooden replica of the Great Seal of the United States to Averell Harriman, the U.S. Ambassador to the Soviet Union.
The gift, a gesture of friendship to the USSR’s World War II ally, was hung in the ambassador’s official residence at Spaso House in Moscow. It stayed there on a wall in the study for seven years until, through accident and a ruse, the State Department discovered that the seal was more than a mere decoration.
It was a bug.
oh. huh.
so, how many hidden microphones are Qatari agents installing on that flying monstrosity even as I type this?
on the other hand, who needs hidden microphones, when Piss-Drunk Pete Kegstand will happily add you to his Signal chat group? just hit him up, bro.
here’s your daily reminder that I can be found on Blue Sky at this link.
this is going to be my closing message for the foreseeable future:
practice self-care. do what you need to do to keep sane. if that means you need to disengage with my daily posts for a while, I get it. this community of ours will still be here when you return.
to all the people who have signed on in the days since the election, welcome aboard. settle in as we all try to deal with the shitfuckery that’s ahead of us.
we are all in this together, and we are all here for each other.

decades ago, when I worked in advertising, I gave one of my best clients a bottle of scotch for Christmas. he handed it back, and told me that it would be wrong of him to accept gifts from people he was in a position to hire.
how fucked up is it that some rando who sold kitchen gadgets had more integrity than the current president of the United States?
No doubt the toilet is gold and the showers are golden.
