Now that Lindsey Graham is dead, many new clients and victims are speaking out. Actress Jesse James Rose just opened up about being one of them. Despite Lindsey's sexuality being an open secret in DC for decades, he ceaselessly harassed and demeaned LGBTQ+ people while in public.
The CEO of StubHub exposed in SEC documents to own a hedge fund thats scalping millions of tickets on StubHub making a fortune
Everything is a scam
“StubHub bills itself as an online marketplace for fans where they can buy and sell tickets, but it turns out that StubHub CEO himself also has a hedge fund that is scalping millions of dollars worth of its own tickets”
“The company went public on the New York Stock Exchange last fall. They had to file documents to the Securities and Exchange Commission, and in those SEC filings, we find some interesting information. The CEO, Eric Baker, actually owns and manages a hedge fund by the name of Andro Capital.
Its business: selling millions of dollars worth of tickets on StubHub — So essentially, StubHub and its CEO are in the business of mass scalping”
Here’s a step by step of how the scam works
- StubHub CEO’s Andro Capital buys large numbers of tickets, sometimes in bulk from primary sellers, other brokers and events
- They then list and sell those same tickets on StubHub at much higher prices
- When fans buy the tickets, Andro makes a profit on the price difference, this is the scalping markup
- StubHub helps them by handling the listing, pricing and delivery of the tickets, sometimes with special arrangements or lower fees for Andro
The result is millions of dollars in ticket sales flow through Andro on StubHub, and the profits go back to the hedge fund that StubHub CEO Baker owns and manages
It means with his big money and influence he can move in early, gets the tickets for events, then mark them and rob everyone blind
Companies associated with Trump's sons have received $1 billion and counting in government contracts since he returned to office.
We've never seen anything like this coming out of the White House.

Again, every contest on every ballot in GA has been reviewed and compared to the election outcomes. Of the 1.11 million ballots cast, there were only 23 discrepancies…all 23 were on hand marked paper. Again showing hand marked is less reliable than Ballot Marking Device ballots.
SHOCK NYT REPORT: DHS now admits the man ICE killed in Houston wasn't even their target. Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a 35-year U.S. resident, was just driving to work when agents — with no body cameras — shot him dead searching for two other men who weren't even in the van.

@survivorflan@Acyn Did you even listen to what she said? Her primary talking point here was about getting big money influence out of politics so "public servants" actually execute the will of the people they are supposed to represent, not their financial handlers.
Kiros: At the end of the day, the reason why we are not seeing legislation like Medicare for All, universal child care, and an arms embargo on Israel passed—despite a supermajority of support from the voters of this party—is because when corporations and special interests donate to campaigns, it’s not that they’re going to get an immediate return with legislation that is favored for them. Sometimes the return they get is stalling legislation that would actually make a meaningful difference for families.
And so, at the end of the day, the only way we can trust that members of Congress are actually fighting for that kind of legislation is for them not to be taking money from the very corporations and special interests that do not want to see that kind of legislation pass.
The number of financial side deals the Trump family is running is so shocking it can sometimes be hard to track.
According to @Reuters, their crypto ventures alone have delivered $2.3 billion to Trump & co. while creating a similar-sized loss for investors.
I’m a former pro-Israel lobbyist and Senate staffer who has worked on legislation regarding Israel and Palestine for over 20 years.
@AOC’s proposal is one of most effective I’ve seen to actually hold Israel accountable under US and international law that it’s broken for decades.
Trump just told the country, out loud, that he picks up the phone and orders federal prosecutors to investigate elections when he does not like how the vote is going.
He bragged about it twice this week.
He says he called a U.S. attorney in California, told him to "do me a favor," and look into a race his candidate might lose.
Here is the reality.
There is no evidence whatsoever of fraud in California's primary. Even Republican Steve Hilton, the candidate Trump claims he rescued, said he never heard about any call. LA County's top elections official said no one at the Justice Department touched their process. The count was not rigged. It was slow, because of how thorough California's system is.
Every registered voter is mailed a ballot.
Every returned ballot has its signature checked against the voter's file before it counts. Late-arriving mail ballots are still valid if postmarked by Election Day, etc.
Slow is not fraud.
If there are responsible ways to speed up the count without risking accuracy or security, I am all for it. Better fund our election offices, modernize ballot processing, and the like.
But that is not what Trump is doing. He still can’t admit he lost in 2020, so every election he dislikes becomes a crime in his mind.
Now he is bragging that he will aim federal prosecutors at results he does not like.
Explore ways to speed up the count responsibly and legally, yes.
Let a president investigate his way to the outcome he wants, never.
