These are called “bribes.” The President of the United States is openly accepting million dollar bribes and we’re so used to his corruption that it doesn’t even crack the news cycle. This is what an oligarchy looks like.
BREAKING: Business leaders are paying as much as $5,000,000 to meet one-on-one with the President Trump at his Florida compound, while others are paying $1,000,000 apiece to dine with him in a group setting, per WIRED.

“In some cases, photos seemed to be flagged for removal simply because their file included the word ”gay,” including service members with that last name and an image of the B-29 aircraft Enola Gay, which dropped the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan, during World War II. Several photos of an Army Corps of Engineers dredging project in California were marked for deletion, apparently because a local engineer in the photo had the last name Gay. And a photo of Army Corps biologists was on the list, seemingly because it mentioned they were recording data about fish — including their weight, size, hatchery and gender.”
EXCLUSIVE: The @AP has obtained and tonight published a database of the file names and descriptions of more than 26,000 military images flagged for removal --because the pictures highlight contributions by women or minorities, or celebrate heritage -- or "DEI." A team of us went through and saved screenshots of images we could still access -- many are already gone. And it's just a fraction of what's being targeted for removal as @SecDef Hegseth targets diversity, equity and inclusion in the ranks. With @lbaldor and @kevineys apnews.com/article/dei-purge…
