"The Russians are paying for Trump's ballroom, and he just took sanctions off one of them in exchange.
Putin owns this White House from top to bottom."

@skykiss@sfba.social Not just 'owns' in the sense of buying off corrupt politicians, but literally paying for a substantial part of the building. I assume Russians will fitting listening devices into their ballroom. Or has trump sold that concession to Xi?

@skykiss@sfba.social I'm pretty sure the bribe annex will be riddled with surveillance devices courtesy of the Kremlin. And when Mango Mussolini shuffles off-stage, the entire Whitehouse complex will need scrubbing.
