Trump border czar Tom Homan was recorded accepting a $50k bribe by FBI agents posing as businessmen in 2024. They waited to see if he made good but Kash Patel intervened and the case was dropped.
Such outrageous and egregious corruption. And...um...he just gets to keep the money?

Everyone was baffled when Trump claimed his smart Uncle John taught the Unabomber at MIT last week. As it turns out Jeffrey Epstein used to regale his friends with a story that he studied with Ted Kaczynski in college. Did Trump roll out an anidote from the old days hanging with Epstein? My latest:
