Clubber Lang doesn’t get a trilogy fight? Are we to believe this motherfucker just walked away from the sport after Rocky III? The man never received justice. At a minimum, he should’ve been ringside as the color analyst for Creed-Drago, Probably would’ve predicted the finish.

In case you've forgotten, here are some of the things learned from the Trump tax returns leaked by a government contractor in 2020:

In 10 of the 15 years before Trump won the presidency, Trump paid no federal income tax. In 2016 and 2017, he paid $750. https://t.co/yGgjY0sQdP

Trump didn’t just pardon his followers who stormed the U.S. Capitol.

He’s now set them up for payments through a slush fund he created to reward his allies—out of your tax dollars.

You could not make this up.

🇺🇸NEWS: FBI Director Kash Patel used a government Gulfstream V to fly his country singer girlfriend to a George Strait concert.
He watched the show from a luxury suite reported at $35,000 to $50,000.

Then he flew her home on the same FBI jet.
Same week: a “VIP snorkel” at the underwater tomb of 900 sailors and Marines at Pearl Harbor.

The pattern from the same NYT investigation is now public.

Four SWAT agents and two SUVs guarding his girlfriend in Nashville. The detail estimated at $1 million a year. SWAT escorts to a hair appointment.

An FBI official suggested a threat assessment to determine if any of it was justified. Patel berated him.

A New York Times reporter wrote about the SWAT detail. The FBI opened an investigation into the reporter. The DOJ shut it down and called it retaliation.

What is the FBI for when the FBI Director uses it as a personal concierge service and turns it on the people who notice?

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

Trump sued his own government to pay himself $10 billion in taxpayer funds.

He even said: "It's awfully strange to make a decision where I'm paying myself."

It's not strange. It's corrupt.
