It will be difficult for Trump to punish Kimberly Guilfoyle for grifting her Ambassadorship. She knows where the bodies are buried. And how much cocaine Junior was snorting. Too risky this close to the mid terms.

Let me see if I understand this . . . 1. The U.S. is at war with Iran. 2. Russia is helping Iran in that war. 3. The U.S. is now giving Russia money that it can use to help Iran destroy U.S. bases and kill U.S. troops. Donald is smart & patriotic like that.

The unprecedented incident occurred in July and raised concern among department leaders, who met with Anthropic representatives to discuss the interaction on Thursday, police said.
