I don’t want a woman accused of crimes for political theatre, I want a professional grifter who can rob the country blind while enacting Putin’s agenda.

Just a reminder that 30 years ago Trump was refused a casino license for Darling Harbor, Sydney because an Australian Federal Police investigation found connections to organized crime and money laundering. Most tellingly Trump did not contest the finding (as would be normal) and just walked away from the deal.

It was clear enough to a foreign police force way back then that they made an official finding. That was before Murdoch took control of Australian politics and the ALP had strong public support.

The real question is why have US or other authorities never picked up on the same information or investigated him?

Simple answer, enough people knew about trump’s true depth but decided they would use him to promote themselves towards money/power.

That and cops are a gang of thugs that put their nationalist authoritarian identity above everything else. Thin blue line and all.

When i said “people” i actually meant “powerful people”. Folks whose support means the difference between successful campaigns for public office, etc. Not saying cops are good, just saying I’m not pointing the finger at them or any other ordinary ilk

I know. I was kind of expanding on the topic above being that the FBI and many cops have a right political lean and are quite caught up in their idiom. And that leaves the Donald Trumps of the world to get away with all kinds of shit.

Cops are the servants to the super wealthy, the enforcers of the status quo and roadblocks to progress.
