#SCOTUS could stop this #Qatar #bribery dead in its tracks. US Congress sets the #POTUS salary and has the power to impound that plane and impeach and prosecute Trump for #corruption ―but we know John Roberts and Republican corruptocrats wont do shit.
25 years ago this was the nightmare scenario described in an article about Putin; and why it was confounding that Clinton and Bush welcomed his corruptocracy with open arms.
Trump is running a billionaire crime syndicate from the White House.
![1999 statement from Richard Palmer, former CIA chief of Russia station on Putin's plans:
«For [USA] to be like Russia is today, it would be necessary to have massive corruption by the majority of the members of Congress as well as by the Departments of Justice and Treasury, and agents of the FBI, CIA, DIA, IRS, Marshal Service, Border Patrol, state and local police officers, the Federal Reserve Bank, Supreme Court justices, U.S. District court judges, support of the varied Organized Crime families, the leadership of the Fortune 500 companies, at least half of the banks in the U.S., and the New York Stock Exchange. This cabal would then have to seize the gold at Fort Knox and the Federal assets deposited in the entire banking system. It would have to take control of the key industries such as oil, natural gas, mining, precious and semi-precious metals, forestry, cotton, construction, insurance and banking industries—and then claim these items to be their private property. The legal system would have to nullify most of the key provisions against corruption, conflict of interest, criminal conspiracy, money laundering, economic fraud, and weaken tax evasion laws. This unholy alliance would then have to spend about 50 percent of its billions in profits to bribe officials that remained in government and be the primary supporters of all of the political candidates. Then, most of the stolen funds, excess profits and bribes would have to be sent to off-shore banks for safekeeping.»](https://poliverso.org/photo/preview/640/45715500 "1999 statement from Richard Palmer, former CIA chief of Russia station on Putin's plans:

🕊️ Pope Leo Hints At Support For Ukrainian, EU Approach to Peace Talks
“I carry in my heart the sufferings of the beloved Ukrainian people”, said Leo XIV. "Everything must be done to achieve authentic, just and lasting peace as soon as possible."
He also pleaded for “all prisoners to be released and for the children to be able to return to their families”.
This phrasing is close to that used by Kyiv and its EU allies, who argue that a simple halt to fighting will not solve anything, while the US admin. pushes Kyiv to accept a peace deal under Moscow’s terms closer to outright capitulation.
The words of the new pope, elected on May 8, come as Vladimir Putin relaunched the idea of “negotiations without any preconditions”.
In 2022, while still in Peru, Cardinal Robert Prevost, future Leo XIV, had firmly condemned … the “unjust aggression” launched by Moscow, and spoke of “an imperialist invasion” and “crimes against humanity” perpetrated by Russian forces.
