A senior Israeli cybersecurity official working directly under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was arrested in Las Vegas for soliciting a child for sex. The Trump Administration is complicit in 1) whisking the official out of the country and 2) arranging for his state-based attorney. Netanyahu denied he was arrested, except the arrest warrant says otherwise. A Trump-picked advisor defends the Israeli official.

Pretty rich for a 34 count convicted fraudster to accuse someone of it.

As someone put it once, if the story about Potemkin villages is false, then that falsity itself illustrates the point of the original story.

I wonder how historians will highlight Trumpism…will it be some specific derangement or will it define more broadly destructive and dystopian acts of cruelty (or something else altogether)?

A curious phenomenon: As Trump slips further into total delusion - and MAGA watches delightedly - the Project 2025 boyz are slowly abandoning him. Sure, give him his vanity prosecutions, but work harder behind the scenes to secure a White Christian Nationalist empire … for said empire doesn’t want a pedophile/rapist/white collar criminal as its face.
