It is reported for the first time that federal prosecutors are looking into the mayor’s dealings with five countries besides Turkey. The other countries are Israel, China, Qatar, South Korea and Uzbekistan.
Undoubtedly a dumb question, but what are these countries getting in exchange? I get that Israel is entrenched in our politics and has interest in maintaining that, but even for them there’s got to be a reason they wouldn’t just do this through AIPAC like every US politician.
I swear I’m not making this up like a month ago my physical therapist asked me about the new cologne I’m wearing. I told him I didn’t use any and he kind of persisted he was like no, it smells really good and I’m like I dunno dude. “Are you sure?” “Yes, I’m sure I’m not wearing cologne.” I don’t have a sense of smell since catching covid in 2020 so I had no clue. Then he was like “oh, I forgot I put a scented candle down over here, I didn’t think it would be so strong when it’s not lit”. He clearly felt really awkward and I didn’t want to laugh too much to make him feel worse but what the hell dude.
