He’d been told he’d “be free soon, but Trump needs to see me in Miami.”

My dad was a state judge and made me take the KERRY EDWARDS bumper sticker off my car in 2004 because the title was in his name.
When I was a judicial law clerk in Montana, Pres Bush flew into the Billings airport for a rally.

I wanted to see Air Force One and asked the judge I clerked for if I could go. He said no, that it wouldn’t be appropriate.

And I was just a clerk. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/10/u...

The corruption is endless. But worse, this is the authoritarian playbook: Erdogan handed media to loyalists & family, Putin handed it to his Oligarchs, Orbán took it for his party & donors, Marcos seized it for his family. Every regime centralizes media and hands it to cronies & family.
