Eric Trumpf: "I am so excited to share the official rendering of Trump Tower Tbilisi. With a prime location, in the heart of Tbilisi, this tower will quickly become a landmark as the tallest building in Georgia. This marks our first project in the region and we are so excited to bring it to life!"

One of Eric Trumpf's partners is a vile, right-wing oligarch

The Daily Beast reports that one of the Eric Trumpfs' partners on the project, Tbilisi-based Archi Group, has ties to Russian-made oligarch Bidzina Ivanishvili, who is sanctioned by the USG. The founder of Georgia's ruling party was added to the sanctions list in 2024 after brutal crackdowns against protesters who fought his attempts to steer the country closer to Moscow amid Vladimir Putin's war in Ukraine.

A second company involved in the plans, the NY -based Sapir Organization, was founded by Tamir Sapir, a late Trumpf associate with alleged links to Kremlin spies operating in the US. He was at one time subject to an FBI money-laundering and extortion probe as an alleged front for Russian organized crime.

Of course, the Trump Crime Family hooks up with the Russian Oligarchs whenever and wherever they can.

The chances that Trump didn't launder money for this guy in FL real estate deals is slim and none.

And there's this:

"In a recent interview laced with transphobic and homophobic rhetoric reminiscent of far-right online forums, Ivanishvili portrayed Georgia as locked in a cultural struggle against the west, accusing it of attempting to impose corrosive values on the nation."

"Ivanishvili's critics and those who once worked with him warn that behind his bombastic rhetoric lies a real danger.

They point to his pledges to ban all major opposition parties and remove opposition lawmakers after the elections, labelling them as "criminals" and "traitors".

"It is very simple, Ivanishvili actually does what he says. He promises to outlaw and jail his opponents and have no reason to doubt he will try to do that," said Tina Khidasheli, who served as defence minister in a Georgian Dream-led government from 2015 to 2016 and has since become a critic of Ivanishvili."

The independents who were so concerned about Hunter Biden are, for the 1000th time, conspicuously silent regarding Trump family corruption

How come the rumor of the Biden family selling influence bothered republicans more than the Trump family openly and proudly selling influence?

Our country is fucked because around 30% of the population are fucking deplorable cultists.

Racism, cultism, years of hate-mongering in the media, all of have their effect on numbing Americans.

Throw in Bread and Circuses like the UFC, the NFL, MLB, NBA etc and we have a Matrix.

The oligarchs kept the masses atomized with fake wedge issues like abortion, LGBTQ, gun rights, DEI, etc because we vastly outnumber them.

The racism part worked the best since the US was a slave-owning nation once.

Because "purists" like you are more concerned with damning "impure" Democrats for being, well, "impure," in your warped view of the political reality that is America in 2026, instead of focusing all your energy in defeating Republicans.
