Please SHARE! A NEW Report that maps the multi-billion-dollar industry built on the #loneliness, #economic #anxiety, and identity of #men. It presents itself as the antidote to a society that has failed men — then sells them the very things that keep them isolated, financially drained, and psychologically dependent on the young men profiting from their struggle. #Grift #economy https://www.equimundo.org/resources/the-grift-economy/

"The US government🚨now has around 30 equity stakes in private companies. How many were coerced like this? "The Trump admin🚨knew the miners needed their permit. In exchange,🚨it asked for the US government to get equity in the company developing the region.... The deal was cut in October." -S Lincicome #Fraud #Corruption #PayToPlay #Extortion #RICO #Trump #Grift #Lies #InsiderTrading #TrumpRegime #Impeach #USPol https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2026-07-31/alaska-road-permit-shows-how-trump-upends-business-norms

Why Trump’s team is letting some Republicans distance themselves from him Three months from Election Day, the president’s political operation is giving battleground candidates space to keep their distance. https://www.ms.now/news/trump-republicans-midterm-strategy-politics-2026 #politics #grift #trump #republicans #republican #democracy #democratic

In case all the Enron- and WorldCom-like accounting shenanigans haven't convinced you, here's another blatant sign the wheels are falling off the "AI" hype train. A contract or memorandum of understanding (or any other written form of agreement) for *half a trillion US dollars* makes no sense at all. It's all just PR, "Look, it's real, please keep hyping our stock, I do too have clothes on!". https://wccftech.com/nvidia-inked-a-500-billion-agreement-with-sk-hynix-and-then-jensen-huang-asked-for-one-more-beer/ (For bonus points, it also calls for Nvidia to invest in SKHynix, so more accounting shenanigans...) #AI #hype #Nvidia #SKHynix #MOU #grift #Enron #WorldCom

The #LAW⚡will come for #Trump, eventually: The laws, if applied: clear. No one is allowed🚨to keep the profits of ransacking the pub trust. It doesn't matter if your name is Trump or Madoff -same rules should apply to everyone:💙You: loot➡️lose. Civil asset forfeiture:⚡resistant to pardons, pres immun claims & other defs that could consume crim proceedings. Asset forf fw: allows the govt to follow💰wherever it goes. So govt can recover proceeds from 3rd part... #Grift #USPol https://www.thebulwark.com/p/undoing-trump-golden-age-of-corruption-grift-justice-accountability-clawbacks

Hmm. We have seen how that works in the past. An incoming Tory (or even Nu Labour) government effectively gift the share (which BTW will be not generating any revenue). Screw Thames Water and the shareholders who have expatriated vast sums and nationalise the bastards. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2026/jul/21/thames-water-investors-golden-share-nationalisation-andy-burnham #ThamesWater #Water #UkPol #Pollution #Cost #Grift #RipOff

I was today-years-old when I learned about George W. Plunkitt, the Tammany Society, and the concept of Honest Graft. Which isn't honest. But it's how politicians and their friends make a fortune fucking the rest of us on civil projects. News to you as well?

I saw an unattributed version of this. I made a different version from scratch. Using #GIMP because that's what I know. Attribute me. I don't want anyone to think that #AI was involved (I have a .xcf to prove it). #Grifters gonna #grift and this is the same #scam, second verse. . . #Elon #Enron

Rachel pointed out last night that #TraitorDon's "$1.776B #SlushFund" isn't a "settlement" in exchange for dropping his idiotic (and unwinnable) $10B case against the #IRS, it's simply a gift from his own Administration to his #Brownshirt Army. 🤬 #Felon47 #StunningCriminality #GOPHypocrisy Your #tax dollars at #grift. https://www.ms.now/rachel-maddow/watch/the-biggest-presidential-corruption-scandal-in-u-s-history-trump-shocks-nation-with-brazen-grab-2500578883919

For legal reasons I must state that this chip is in fact blank. I would never do something as illegal and wrong as writing my own ROM chip for hardware I own, that hasn't been manufactured in 30 years, when there's a company (that didn't develop it) which is actively licensing said ROM. #amiga #cloanto #retrocomputing #eprom #grift #cbm #commodore

#Corruption #Grift #Oligarchs Every single one of these people needs to be put in jail for breaking the MYRIAD of laws on the books that specifically prevent this. Again if any of these people get off the hook, we'll never recover our government from the #oligarchy.

"Although Farage did not reach the islands, it generated attention for Reform as the party sought to set the political agenda on the Chagos Islands controversy. While a precise equivalent cost for the trip is unavailable, private jets of the size of those used would typically cost upwards of £10,000 an hour between the two." Still; no sign of his jolly on his registered financial interests on the parliamentary website (registration term = 28 days). #ReformUK 🐸 #grift https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2026/mar/08/private-jet-used-for-nigel-farage-chagos-stunt-linked-to-reform-mega-donor

How much money has Trump profiteered from his presidential office in the past year, you ask? David Kirkpatrick has the answer for you: a whopping $4.05 billion. #Trump #EconomicElites #grift #corruption #profiteering https://www.newyorker.com/news/a-reporter-at-large/trumps-profiteering-hits-four-billion-dollars
