AnarchoNinaAnalyzes<p>Despite us being over three months into Trump 2.0, I still periodically still find it breathtaking how much unhinged cartoon villain bullshit they can cram into any given exercise of power. This story for example touches on the way the Klepto Kaiser is using the Department of Justice as his personal legal team to further the objectives of his donors, Trump's attempts to seize power for the presidency from other government bodies, and Downmarket Mussolini's fake "national emergency" scheme to do blatantly illegal shit because Pam Bondi thinks it walks. </p><p>This week the Department of Justice filed complaints or lawsuits against four states, New York, Vermont, Hawaii, and Michigan, to stop them from enforcing their own state climate laws and mechanisms to hold the fossil fuel companies killing us all, financially accountable for their crimes against humanity.</p><p><a href="https://www.commondreams.org/news/trump-phony-energy-emergency" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">commondreams.org/news/trump-ph</span><span class="invisible">ony-energy-emergency</span></a></p><p>Trump's 'Phony Energy Emergency' Used by DOJ to Target State Climate Laws</p><p>"On Thursday, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) filed complaints against New York and Vermont over their climate superfund laws, which empower states to seek financial compensation from fossil fuel companies to help cover the costs of climate mitigation. The burning of fossil fuels is the main driver of human-caused global heating.</p><p>Separately, the DOJ also sued Hawaii and Michigan "to prevent each state from suing fossil fuel companies in state court to seek damages for alleged climate change harms."</p><p>As the article mentions, Bondi's maneuvers here stem from Trump's April 8th sweeping executive order in which the president claims the authority to erase any law at any level of government that might impede the fossil fuel companies that put Trump into power; because he also declared a fake national energy emergency. Like most of Der Leader's executive orders, the dictate is vague and broad enough to essentially empower Trump to bulldoze anyone or anything he doesn't agree with, which is pretty much all climate or fossil fuel extraction legislation or regulations. The order is also almost certainly illegal; whatever that actually means in a burgeoning fascist dictatorship where the regime is openly ignoring a number of court orders as we speak.</p><p>It's hard to really drill down here and find the greater problem with all of this because virtually everything about this executive order is itself an existential crisis. The planet is literally on fire, climate crisis is real, and billions of (mostly poor) people's lives hang in the balance; the last thing anyone needs is for Trump to empower extractivist mass murder companies to rip more fossil fuels we shouldn't even be burning out of the ground because they're greedy, and Trump wants to pretend he can drive gas prices down and create an American economic utopia by drilling more oil as the world turns to ash. Secondly, to our great shame Trump was elected President of the United States, but he was not made King of the realm and he does not have the power to override the authority of every State government in America on a whim; nor should any president have that authority, as winger fascist "states rights" debate bros have been reminding us all for six decades. If Trump wants to dismantle state climate laws and regulations, his Big Oil donors are going to have to take it through the courts just like everyone else; and yet here's Trump trying to bully their way across the finish line on the cusp of being sued by Hawaii, with one signature. </p><p>In my mind however the most shameful and egregious part of all this is the way Trump is weaponizing the Department of Justice to fight the legal battles of extractivist corporations and donors who helped him become president. Not only does it make clear the reality that Trump perceives the Justice Department as the president's own private cadre of lawyers who exist to prosecute his grievances and manipulate the law to further his fascist objectives, but it's also a pretty clear example of quid pro quo and bribery. The message here is if you donate enough money to Trump, you get Trump's lawyers to work for you and those lawyers happen to be the literal Department of Justice; and there's not a lotta wiggle room to argue otherwise, quite frankly. Obviously none of this is how either the Justice Department or presidential power is supposed to work, but as usual the Klepto Kaiser and his bootlicking Attorney General, Pam Bondi, don't seem to care.</p><p> <br><a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fascism</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/ClimateCrisis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateCrisis</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/PamBondi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PamBondi</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/DoJ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DoJ</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Hawaii" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Hawaii</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Michigan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Michigan</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Vermont" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Vermont</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/NewYork" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NewYork</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/ClimateSuperfund" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateSuperfund</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/BigOil" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BigOil</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/FossilFuels" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FossilFuels</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Extractivism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Extractivism</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Capitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Capitalism</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Bribery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Bribery</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/ExxonMobil" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ExxonMobil</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Chevron" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Chevron</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/BP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BP</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Shell" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Shell</span></a></p>

Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"The right question to ask about Trump’s tariff policy is also financial: How will this enormous change to American trade policy benefit Trump? One answer is already clear. The countries and large companies damaged by these tariffs, some of which could face huge losses or even bankruptcy, will have an enormous incentive to play up to the president, to offer him political donations, and maybe even to offer business deals to him, his family, or his friends in order to get some kind of exception made for themselves or their industry.</p><p>In a law-abiding administration, personal finances wouldn’t be an important part of the public debate. But this administration’s leaders have decided that laws and norms of behavior that have held for a century or more don’t apply to them. The Republican-led Congress has so far decided not to enforce them either. It’s now up to the media, to outside organizations, and to whistleblowers to keep reporting the slide into kleptocracy to the public and to the courts, to make sure that remaining laws are enforced. It’s up to the Democratic Party to follow the lead of opposition movements in other kleptocracies and to put corruption at the center of their arguments. Before it’s too late, everyone who can do so must communicate what is happening: American government, American foreign policy, and American trade policy are slowly being transformed, not to benefit Americans but to benefit the president, his family, and his friends. Only voters can stop them."</p><p><a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2025/04/trump-kleptocracy-autocracy-inc/682281/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/</span><span class="invisible">2025/04/trump-kleptocracy-autocracy-inc/682281/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/USA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USA</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Kleptocracy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Kleptocracy</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Corruption" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Corruption</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Bribery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Bribery</span></a></p>
AnarchoNinaAnalyzes<p>Speaking of bog standard corruption; Trump found a way to cut out the messy step of making people who want to buy access to the President rent a bunch of hotel rooms. The scheme, which is remarkably crass, involves promising the top holders of Trump's meme coin a dinner with the president to talk about cyrpto; with the top 25 holders getting a more intimate dinner, presumably at which point they will be able to talk with Trump directly. If that sounds like price support for Trump's stupid meme coin and selling access to the president to the highest bidder to you, it's because the scheme is designed to accomplish precisely that.</p><p><a href="https://archive.ph/jqyQo" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">archive.ph/jqyQo</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p>Trump's meme coin, which had fizzled in value, surges after offer of dinner with the president</p><p>"President Trump's meme coin, which had slumped 88% from its most recent high, got a boost Wednesday after its website invited the top 220 holders of the digital token to an "intimate private dinner" with the president.</p><p>After the dinner offer was posted on the $TRUMP meme coin website and X account, the value of the meme coin surged as much as $5.32, or 58%, to $14.32 on Wednesday afternoon. That gain only partially erased the meme coin's decline in value, which hit a peak of $75.35 on January 19 the day before Mr. Trump's inauguration.</p><p>The dinner offer promises $TRUMP coin investors the opportunity to "Hear close-up, from President Trump, about the future of Crypto!" Mr. Trump, who has vowed to turn the U.S. into the cryptocurrency capital of the world, has also pushed his own ventures into the realm of digital products, issuing everything from NFTs billed as "Trump digital trading cards" to a cryptocurrency platform called World Liberty Financial."</p><p>I mean on some level you almost have to hand it to the Klepto Kaiser here; he finally found a rock solid use case for an essentially worthless crypto product - facilitating open political corruption! Given the semi-clandestine nature of crypto-currency markets, it's hard to get a clear picture of precisely how much money Downmarket Mussolini has made from his crypto scams since taking office, but most experts in the field peg it as in the order of "hundreds of millions of dollars." I'm under no illusions about financial ties to billionaires among the "corrupt Democrats" Trump defeated last fall to return to the White House, but I'm willing to bet Joe Biden never ran a scam that let him stack up nine figure piles of cheddar. </p><p>Of course in the grand scheme of things, I think it's a lot more important to focus on the Trump regime's fascism, than its corruption. But given that these guys ran to power and claim to be acting on a platform of fighting corruption, as seemingly all modern fascist movements do, it's probably noteworthy that they're inventing new ways to do bribery in real time, only a few months into Trump's second term.</p><p><a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fascism</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Corruption" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Corruption</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Crypto" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Crypto</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/MemeCoins" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MemeCoins</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Bribery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Bribery</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USPol</span></a></p>
