Trump says Putin has been invited to join his Board of Peace, but faced with the fact that Macron does not want to join, Trump immediately says "I will put a 200 percent tariff on his wines and champagnes."

Yes… it REALLY is shocking that Macron does not want to sit on a board next to Putin and Trump discussing how to divide the beach front properties on the Gaza coast.
Come on… Any realist knows that no credible person will join.

The sudden appearance of this extortion scheme begs the question:

1. Are the megadonors implicated by the Epstein Files involved?

2. Did the recent visit with Trump's fossil fuel co-conspirator #PrinceBonesaw have anything to do with this fossil fuel shakedown?

These wealthy donors aren't unknowable.

Just look at the attendees at Trump's inaugurations.

Hey some nerd (me) is quoted here in this Columbia Journalism Review story about how low-power FM radio stations weathered federal funding cuts by being too small to be eligible for federal funding... in contrast to NPR. The invulnerability of the truly grassroots? 📻💚
