Can they declare war? Can they order a nuclear strike? Can they speak for the President in his diplomatic communications with foreign leaders?

PageSix finds a lawsuit filed under pseudo claiming Bruce Ratner lied to get Charlotte Kirk an Einstein visa (the same scam Melania came in on).

![Back then, Kirk was a 20-year-old aspiring actress when Ratner sponsored her 0-1 visa in a letter addressed to the Department of Homeland Security U.S. Citizenship and Immigration division, according to court papers.
The letter, which was filed in Los Angeles Superior Court Case but likely overlooked because of the use of pseudonyms, sheds light on how a woman with no acting credits under her belt at the time was able to obtain a green card and work in the US, appearing in such films as “Ocean’s 8.”
In the visa letter, Ratner wrote that Kirk “is an outstanding actress with remarkable talent. She has the unique ability to deliver each of her lines seamlessly, captivating her character’s essence. Her on screen and on stage presence alike captivate audiences of all demographics. She truly is a one of a kind actress. It is no wonder she has already landed lead and starring roles in a variety of productions.”
At that point in her career, Kirk had secured no such roles.
Ratner also stated that he had cast Kirk “in one of my upcoming films that is set to start in February [2013].” Kirk never appeared in the referenced film, which likely was the teen action comedy “Barely Lethal,” a Hailee Steinfeld-led project about a teen intelligence agent. Ratner produced the film with the groan-worthy double entendre title. “Barely Lethal,” which was in pre-production in fall 2012, began shooting the following year.
According to an exhibit in Newton v. Grandin et al, Ratner was questioned under oath by Kirk’s lawyer about the DHS letter and said he would never hire Kirk “because she’s a horrible actress.” He also testified that he told her “I can’t hire you. But I will happily write a letter of recommendation.” The deposition was taken by videotape in 2023 because Ratner was living in Tel Aviv at the time.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:bbp2b224lro3bfnzcqwwnkfo/bafkreiapjiiptniscsbntsmhlczuuvkd5z6rucqahot44nuydwxe7y3b5u@jpeg)

I used to advise people not to even accept a free cup of coffee from someone who had interests before them. And staff followed those rules.

Of the biggest scandals in US history just this week, I think I’d rank them:
1) Federal paramilitaries invade US city based on racist lies, murder US citizens
2) Slush fund for the president from stolen foreign resources held in Qatar
3) Whatever FBI and DNI are doing re: 2020 election in Georgia

Catching up on all the headlines today and my main takeaway is that Trump is a con man who operates in contradictions.
He likes to tell everyone what they want to hear. And so we have Bovino getting pulled out of Minneapolis, but also Patel opening an investigation into ICE observers.

I remember being a kid and being told to go back to Africa. And that was before Trump. Kids right now have it so much worse. The cruelty is louder, more public, more sanctioned.
Shelter the little ones. No one deserves this treatment, but especially not them.

Some perspective: The S&P opened down -1.3% on Trump's Greenland saber-rattling. That's $750 billion of wealth destroyed -- roughly equal to estimates of the value of Greenland.
And so ~in dollar terms~ his shenanigans have already cost the US one Greenland, and we've got nothing to show for it.
