It’s so sad, wrong and disgusting how greedy people care so little about people. Native people and the lands they and we cherish!

Greed & Games by a few are destroying us. Great reporting Judd!

Another day, another grift. Griftday all week long. Happy Griftday, Mr. Paulson!

All corruption, all the time,

All done on the public’s dime.

Build their road to mine their gems,

Not for us but just for thems.

It’s always,always about money with these people. They read Genesis in the Bible and took “you shall have dominion over the earth” seriously. Dominion to make money and use it to the last. Which may be coming quite soon. We are not even a year into this horror. I despair that it will be put back to normalcy which was already damaging to our planet.

And once again we have to ask - what's Trump's cut? And from whose share - the Australian and Canadian company he just made rich or the greedy MAGA billionaire he just made richer?

This whole arrangement gives me the ick, including but not limited to the notion that Alina de Almeida, John Paulson's fiancée, is 32 years his junior.

I wondered if she was his daughter at first glance. Massive ick factor there mate!

He's been named in association with Epstein already. That's why he is all in for targeting Massie. Paulson also 'likes them on the younger side.'

Wouldn't it be nice to wake up and discover there was no grift to report? Just for a day?

Nice work PI!

Another good and important piece, as sad as it is.

Corrupt, greedy, heartless bastards. Let’s see what Lisa Murkowski has to say about this rape of Alaska.

Uh, I don't like it; I'm studying it,;I cannot do much about it now; We are going to allow it but I still have qualms; It's done and remember I said I didn't like it!

What the actual grift. Another day of doing business with your pals.

A million time over, I’d rather have Pat Paulsen as President than tRUmp.

Having Paulson-esque presidents is what got us here—they were quiet and on the down low about their corruption. At least now it is out in the open and people can finally see the system working as intended by these ghouls.

This is just WRONG!!! We have the let the ultra rich have to much power! It needs to be given back to the people!!!

Irony here is one company is Australian and the other Canadian.... both countries have stated where they stand with the regime and it is not on the side of the stain.. how does that work?

Graft and corruption of the first order and Melania looks like she just crawled out of bed in her nightgown!

No doubt, like the wealthy "Biff" of "Back to the Future II," Trump threatened to stop paying Baron's expenses if Melania didn't turn up with Trump and play the role of a good little wifey when and where he wants. If I had to stand next to Trump, I'd look far worse - probably constant projectile vomiting.
