When pressed on whether action would be taken, Bondi dismissed any skepticism. “Donald Trump doesn’t make empty promises,” she stated.
Ah yes. I remember when Mexico paid for a wall.

And when he declared that COVID would be over quickly, then over a million Americans died.
I also remember egg prices going up. Thank God they're so cheap now. Oh and that war in Ukraine that ended a month ago?
In all fairness to the Trump campaign, it sounds like his own party blocked him:
With Donald Trump’s return to office, discussions on a potential remittance tax are gaining renewed attention. Initially proposed to fund a border wall, this policy could have lasting impacts on financial services, particularly cross-border payments. Historically, Trump’s earlier attempts at implementing a remittance tax faced significant resistance from within his own party. However, with a new team in place, supportive of bold policy shifts, the landscape has changed, making it likely that taxation on cross-border remittances could be implemented.
In Trump’s original proposal, Mexico was asked to make a one-time payment of $5–10bn or, alternatively, face a 2% tax on all person-to-person wire transfers to Mexico, along with other countries in Latin America and the Caribbean. With fewer obstacles now, this tax appears increasingly feasible. According to GlobalData’s Remittance Analytics, the US received $7.2bn in inward remittances in 2023, projected to reach $7.5bn by 2028. Mexico is the largest contributor, with $1.9bn or 27% of all inbound transfers, followed by Puerto Rico at $385m. A tax could significantly disrupt these flows, raise consumer costs, and alter the dynamics of cross-border transactions.
So, Mexico will pay for it.
Should be a 40% tax if they can't prove they paid taxes on it.
Oh yes, we're all definitely looking forward to seeing the revised list that will magically and coincidentally be full of nothing but Trump's enemies
Donald was literally the only candidate during the campaign that said he wasn't interested in releasing the files. Obviously because he's in them. If any list does get released, I imagine it will be entirely fabricated. If it's not, then it'll definitely be modified.
Another grift for the gullible
tbh - I don't get the hype.
The hype is that she was previously an AG. She is known for being competent. We can debate his other picks but she stands on her own.
I was not talking about Pam, but the Epstein List. Seems everyone is on that list. If you're not on it you're probably not famous or rich enough. Why the hype?
People love gossip. The list by itself proves nothing. A good example is that Trump spent time with Epstein till he found out how creepy he was and then stopped. I suspect man people had the same reaction. The list isn't the smoking gun people think it is.
Exactly. We'll see tomorrow - I've understood it will be public then.
What people really want to know is what dirt Epstein had on people. I use to tease my friend for going on about Epstein. He then gave me some articles on Epstein and his prison time. That was some weird shit.
I wonder if they'll drop tonight
