I think the traffic jam at the prosecutors door has begun, I hear Kushner might be squealing like a pig, he has Abby Lowe for council and he's a smart fucker who knows it's Kush's only way out of the rat trap. Then there's Rudy, who has yet to be indicted and I also hear Ivanka could be next on the chopping block. Donald must be getting very nervous, since Barrack went down and his company is on the chopping block.
Yep this is sure starting to get interesting and entertaining too, as the republicans and foxnews try to hit the rest button on the covid and antivax bullshit they've been selling, delta covid is gonna have a reckoning with the base. Both Donald and the republicans are circling the drain while coming apart like turds as they spin, while half of their base is about to get fucked over by delta bigly.

Kush might move to Israel, get a divorce while princess is in prison and then marry another kind of princess, since the place is full of them!

I'm pretty sure Donald will run from his Sing sing cell and get the GOP nomination, he won't have much else to do. It might be the White house vs the big house in 2024!

Hey Kush could be singing this song soon, after he cuts a deal by cutting the Trump's throat, moves to Israel and divorces Ivanka. In Judaism the faith is passed down through the females among the orthodoxic, you ain't Jewish unless mama was, so Kush could be in the market for a princess.

If she's a lesbian sex toy in a NY state prison for 10 to 20 and to avoid future interviews and trouble from the feds, I figure Kush is headed to the land of princesses. It will be a race between them on who will rat out first, unless they try for a package deal. Kush has Abby Lowe for a lawyer and he is a clever fellow who knows that being first in the prosecutors door means the best deal. Kush could be looking at time inside himself when the dominos start to fall and everybody is looking to cut a deal, then these cases will cascade into each other for a NY RICO case that will ensnare more people.

Casey Michel: Tom Barrack suggests Trump's White House was even more vulnerable than we thought (nbcnews.com)
Casey Michel Tom Barrack suggests Trump's White House was even more vulnerable than we thought
Like moths to a corrupt flame, Trump seems to have attracted crooked individuals.
On early Tuesday morning, federal authorities dropped a bombshell: According to prosecutors, an American close to the president was also working for a foreign dictatorship and had been trying to influence policy. The indictment, filed in the Eastern District of New York, alleged an unregistered foreign agent named Thomas Barrack spent years liaising with the United Arab Emirates and then subtly attempting to maneuver former President Donald Trump toward UAE goals.
This parallel effort from an autocratic regime elsewhere highlights how seemingly susceptible the Trump administration was to outside influence.
Russia and other post-Soviet Union oligarchs have attempted to sway American politics in recent years. But this parallel effort from an autocratic regime elsewhere highlights how seemingly susceptible the Trump administration was to outside influence, as Trump surrounded himself with a rotating cast of shady characters with conflicting — and allegedly illegal — goals.
Barrack, a former foreign policy and economic adviser to Trump, is perhaps best known as one of Trump’s top fundraisers in 2016. From there, he became chairman of Trump’s 2017 inaugural committee. A billionaire, Barrack spent years swimming in similar waters to Trump, eventually becoming a “close friend” of the former president, according to The New York Times. Through a spokesperson, Barrack has denied the charges. "Mr. Barrack has made himself voluntarily available to investigators from the outset. He is not guilty and will be pleading not guilty," the spokesperson said.
Yet in addition to working as a pro-Trump operative, Barrack allegedly had a side hustle as a secret agent for the UAE, a Gulf dictatorship with a habit of disappearing dissidents, journalists and even Western academics. Despite its human rights atrocities, the UAE has managed to remain a close American partner for years, in part due to the alleged work of Barrack.
Barrack now faces what are called Section 951 charges, which was the same charge levied against convicted Russian agent Maria Butina. While the charges are technically different from broader Foreign Agents Registration Act violations, both statutes center on those who covertly work in the U.S. on behalf of foreign governments — and who fail to inform the U.S. Department of Justice about their relationships with those governments.
According to prosecutors, Barrack’s efforts on behalf of the UAE ran the gamut. Barrack allegedly changed Trump’s speeches in order to praise the Emirati dictatorship and lobbied for more pro-UAE policy and staffing decisions. He secretly passed internal White House discussions to the UAE government and gathered a so-called wish list of policy decisions from UAE officials that they wanted the Trump administration to implement, according to the indictment. Barrack also lobbied in more public ways, such as writing pro-UAE op-eds, it said.
Barrack, naturally, never bothered to disclose that he might have ulterior motives for taking such a pro-UAE tack, prosecutors say. It’s unclear exactly how much money Barrack made directly from such work, though it took place while Barrack’s private equity firm received some $1.5 billion from the UAE and its close ally Saudi Arabia, according to The New York Times. However, it appears clear who he was working directly with: Among those helping steer Barrack’s efforts seemed to be Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed, the de facto head of the UAE’s dictatorial claque, appears to be identified in the American indictment as “Emirati Official 1.”
“The defendant [Barrack] is charged with extremely serious offenses based on conduct that strikes at the very heart of our democracy,” prosecutors wrote.
In any other administration, these revelations might have sent shock waves rippling through Washington. This was, after all, a foreign dictatorship allegedly steering a figure directly in the American president’s orbit, successfully influencing policy along the way.
But for Trump, the allegations are almost unsurprising. This is a president, after all, whose head and deputy campaign chairs were both sentenced to jail time for secretly working on behalf of a foreign government. This is a president whose personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, is currently under investigation over whether he failed to register his work on behalf of corrupt foreign clientele and whose former acting director of national intelligence, Richard Grenell, helped launder the reputation of a now-sanctioned oligarch without disclosing any of his work to American officials. (Both have denied any wrongdoing.) Heck, Barrack isn’t even the first prominent Trump fundraiser to be accused of secretly working at the behest of corrupt foreign actors — that honor belongs to Elliott Broidy, who recently pleaded guilty to a similar charge.
Nor is it necessarily surprising that the UAE would resort to such efforts to affect American policy. The dictatorship is connected to one of the greatest transnational corruption schemes ever created and has helped Dubai transform into one of the world’s greatest money laundering hot spots. It has also spent tens of millions lobbying American officials in recent years. The UAE even has the distinct honor of being the dictatorship that donates the most money to American think tanks, according to the Center for International Policy.
Whereas Russia relied on crooked officials like Mike Flynn (who flamed out in disgrace) and groups like the National Rifle Association to try to infiltrate American policy-making discussions, the UAE actually succeeded in reaching the highest echelons of the White House and even in implementing policies it apparently wanted.

Carl Bernstein: Donald Trump is our own American war criminal
Watergate journalist Carl Bernstein says we have to look at former President Donald Trump in a different context and calls Trump America's "own war criminal" that we've never seen before.

I spend more time in my garden, then anywhere else. That’s one of the reasons I don’t post much here.Evidently, she is a full-time homemaker who has 4 children. Therefore, she has only a little time to lurk, and almost none to actually post.
Actually, I grow more cannabis then 95% of you on this forum does. In fact, not only do I grow more cannabis then most of you do, I have it down to a art and do it in such a way, that most of you wouldn’t be able to accomplish. I practically wrote the book on high pressure aeroponics, as I have been growing with aeroponics for the last 20 years.
I don’t post more on this forum, because many of the members here are so abrasive and mean. I could be a extremely valuable member to this forum but over the years I have watched it get more vile and more cruel by the day.
Cannabis to me, is about bringing people together and helping others that truly need this wonderful medicine. Unfortunately, that’s not what this forum is about and I truly regret that, as it has the potential to be so much more.
I watched people on this forum get attacked and ridiculed, for just having a difference of opinion and I don’t have time for that non-sense.
Regardless of how well I grow cannabis or how many photos I throw up showing/teaching about the way I do it, people will still find a reason to attack me. Just like even after showing what I’m capable of doing with the following photos, people will still attack me for a difference of opinion.
I will continue to lurk and watch this forum decline with vile hatred towards other members, like I always have.
Enjoy the photos, I know a lot of you love your eye candy. 4 weeks/3 days from 12/12 flip.
As always, I wish everyone bountiful harvest of sticky icky.

WTF are you posting that shit in the politics section, there are threads in the grow section for pictures.
You have no idea of what people here grow and unless you're selling it, most folks don't need to grow much.
