Khabib channels the Kremlin in his defeat of McGregor. The goal here was not just defeating McGregor, but to humiliate and demoralize him through the utmost disrespect possible. Now he will become one of the most hated fighters in the UFC and will likely receive a medal at home.
During Khabib Nurmagomedov’s post-fight interview, the new UFC lightweight champion appealed to Russian president Vladimir Putin to provide help to Ziyavudin Magomedov, who was arrested last week on embezzlement and organized crime charges. fightsports.tv/khabib-asks-pu…
Ziyavudin's brother and business partner Magomed Magomedov sued Viktor Vekselberg, Leonard Blavatnik, and Leonid Lebedev in a New York state court for $1.3 billion, accusing them of seizing Nizhnevartovskneftegaz in 1997.

Let's not forget that Fred Trump suffered from Alzheimer's disease before he died. Alzheimer's is an inherited genetic disorder. It would be irresponsible to fail to recognize symptoms of Alzheimer's in Donald Trump.
mental decline, difficulty thinking and understanding, confusion in the evening hours, delusion, disorientation, forgetfulness, making things up, mental confusion, difficulty concentrating, inability to create new memories, or inability to recognize common things
aggression, agitation, difficulty with self care, irritability, meaningless repetition of own words, personality changes, lack of restraint, or wandering and getting lost

Donald Trump has long sold himself as a self-made billionaire, but a New York Times investigation found that he received at least $413 million in today’s dollars from his father’s real estate empire, much of it through tax dodges in the 1990s. nytimes.com/interactive/20…
"Much of this money came to Mr. Trump because he helped his parents dodge taxes. He and his siblings set up a sham corporation to disguise millions of dollars in gifts from their parents"
"He also helped formulate a strategy to undervalue his parents’ real estate holdings by hundreds of millions of dollars on tax returns, sharply reducing the tax bill when those properties were transferred to him and his siblings."
