I think The Powers That Be are done with Krasnov. He has served his purpose. [View all]

All of this stuff about Trump has been known for years. The stories of underage women, studio 54 w/
the cocaine and sex parties, Epstein, walking in on teen beauty contestants when they were naked,
saying his own daughter was a hot piece of ass, his connections to organized crime, to having call
girls working @ his casinos, and so on are old news. Why now? They got their tax breaks, regulations
have been gutted, and benefits to the rich and fossil fuel industries and so it is good bye Donny time.
He has served his purpose.

And the T.P.T.B./tech- crypto boys now have a shiny new judicial & electoral system to keep them
in power and money too.
