“The Trump administration has collected more than $13bn in revenues from Venezuelan oil sales this year, according to FT calculations, but has said almost nothing about what has happened to the money.”
In unrelated news, the Trump Ballroom’s price tag has been revised upwards to somewhere north of $12 billion.
This is pretty funny.
New foreign secretary Ed Miliband was “wrong” to call Donald Trump a racist and misogynist in the past, the US president’s representative in the UK has said.
Warren Stephens said “hopefully his views have changed” since he labelled Trump a “groper” and a “racist” a decade ago, PA reported.

Oh, I hope not, Eddie. Have the courage of your convictions.

For knitters and crocheters, there are Jimothy patterns on Ravelry. They’re adorable.
And having some of the best weather Iowa has to offer in July.
Here’s hoping. I mean how do you even know that your neighbor is a cannibal? A pile of bones outside the cell?
Good God! It never fucking stops! Eternal grifting.
This isn’t helping Tesla, despite the 25% or so increase in sales - basically margins are plummetting. This mark to market will be reversed in Q3, unless Elmo manages to ram the merger through before then.
“Of Tesla’s $1.1 billion in GAAP net income this quarter, roughly $750 million came from a mark-to-market gain on its SpaceX stake. In other words, almost all of Tesla’s reported profit was a paper gain on a private company Musk controls — not money earned selling cars or energy. Actual income from operations was just $398 million, a 1.4% operating margin.”
$1.6B is not bad for annual profit, but that would give a $16B valuation vs the current $1T…
ETA that $146M or about a third of the profit was from regulatory credits that Elmo abolished.
These two propose to kill us all…
All for the sake of … money.
Much braver than me, but kudos to her!
Shit like this makes The Onion’s continued vitality and relevance all the more impressive.
Nice.
My initial reaction is that this is satire. My second reaction is to add rum to my morning coffee
Yes donnie, I’d love to see you cry tears of frustration and anger like your inner 5 yr old
If it hasn’t already been made clear, there’s a certain type of lawyer who views the law as basically irrelevant to the job, which is to provide justification for whatever they and/or their client want to do instead of providing legal advice.
This is, incidentally, the primary sin of Yale Law School.
