BREAKING: 60 Minutes has shown people saying they can get pardons from Trump for a price.
Pardon brokers Jack Burkman and Jacob Wohl said that for $300,000, they could help a felon get a pardon from the president.
They said their services included working with influencers to advocate for his case.
Crazy how the people who committed these horrific atrocities can walk around the world freely while the people who protest against it are labeled evil antisemitic terrorists.
NEW: the Ford government confirms the Ontario legislature will begin a 102-day summer break today, not returning until Oct. 27.
Government house leader Steve Clark explains the province doesn’t want to interfere with the municipal elections, so they’ll return the day after.
Israel is the first state in history to legislate a death sentence that applies only to one ethnic group.
There's a reason nobody has ever done this.
It's a depth of evil beyond humanity itself.
🚨 so let me get this straight..
this morning Trump announced he's halting attacks on Iran.. someone made $1.5 billion trading on that news 5 minutes before the announcement..
and now tonight.. the Pentagon is weighing deployment of airtroops to Iran..
so the "peace" that someone made $1.5 billion off of.. lasted about 12 hours..
the pause was never peace.. it was a window.. long enough for someone to collect.. short enough for the war machine to reload..
they halted the attacks just long enough for the markets to move.. and now the troops are going in anyway..
you're not watching geopolitics.. you're watching a trade.
Let me explain what just happened 👇
5 minutes before the President announced a halt to attacks on Iran… someone placed a $1.5 BILLION bet on stocks going up and dumped $192 million in oil.
5 minutes…
These trades were 4 to 6 times larger than anything else in the entire market. Whoever did this wasn’t guessing. You don’t risk $1.5 billion on a hunch.
There was zero public indication this announcement was coming. No leaks. No press. Nothing. The only people who knew were in the room when the decision was made.
Someone in that room picked up a phone.
And within minutes they made more money than most Americans will earn in a thousand lifetimes. In a single trade. On a war that cost you $4+ a gallon gas and $16 billion in tax dollars.
American citizens funded this war. Politicians are profiting from it.
This is not the first time. Every major announcement from this administration has had massive suspicious trades right before it dropped. Tariff reversals. Policy shifts. War decisions.
This is the most blatant insider trading operation in the history of American politics. It’s not even close. And it’s happening over and over in broad daylight.
You would go to federal prison for trading on a tip from your cousin. These people are front running war decisions with billion dollar bets and nobody will ever ask a single question.
Nobody will be investigated. Nobody will be charged. By tomorrow this will be buried under the next satisfying headline. Just like last time. And the time before that.
The game is rigged. And they’re not even trying to hide it anymore…
Sean, thanks to you, we know what a true friend of Ukraine is.
You have stood with Ukraine since the first day of the full-scale war.
This is still true today.
And we know that you will continue to stand with our country and our people.
Sean Penn won an Oscar, but instead of accepting his well-deserved award at last Sunday’s ceremony, he went to Ukraine.🇺🇦
During one of his previous visits, Sean gifted one of his other Oscars to @ZelenskyyUa.
Thank you for standing with Ukraine — one battle after another💙💛
Today marks the 4th anniversary of when Russia deliberately bombed Mariupol Theatre killings hundreds of women & children who had been sheltering inside. This despite the word ‘Children’ written in huge letters outside.
Please repost this message show that they are not forgotten
this was the most important Oscar speech of the night tbh
"Mr. Nobody Against Putin is about how you lose your country. What we saw when working with this footage is that you lose it through countless small, little acts of complicity: when we act complicit when a government murders people on the streets of our major cities, when we don't say anything when oligarchs take over the media and control how we can produce it and consume it, we all face a moral choice. But luckily even a nobody is more powerful than you think."
Another Russian Shahed drone strike on a passenger train. This time near Sumy.
If this happened anywhere else in the world, it would be breaking news.
So why isn’t it?
Just unpacking it here.
Ukraine is helping us with Iranian drones, resulting from the war we launched against Iran.
And we're easing sanctions on Russia because of the oil market fallout from the war we launched against Iran.
And Russia is helping Iran with medical aid and intel, in the war we launched against Iran.
And Trump is frustrated with Ukraine because it's still at war with Russia.
This is amazing. They alienate even their allies and those who associate with them by ruining their reputations. This administration just can’t help being liars and rotten people. It’s who they are.
