We need their "earl" (Texan for oil) Instead of moving away from fossil fuels as fast as possible we have to make sure the donor companies are flush with cash so our politicians can get some.

Even for someone that rich, $800 million is a ton of money.
But, dirty money intended to bite the hand that fed them.
Glad Tiger said "get bent".

what the hell do the Saudis care about golf? What a way to launder money to Trump and all he has to do is destroy our democracy.

Hoping Jack Smith nails the bastards.
