The Bondi thing is related to Trump U. Trump gave her a $25,000 political contribution towards her reelection as Attorney General of Florida. A month later she decided to not join the multi-state case against Trump U. The cherry on top is that the 25k came from a charity, which is illegal. Trump had to pay a $2500 fine.

Lower those eyebrows, young man. And the other one.
Apparently Saudi Arabia has issued 10 demands to Qatar.

1. Immediately break diplomatic relations with Iran.
2. Expel all Hamas members.
3. Freeze bank accounts of Hamas members and stop dealing with them.
4. Expel all Muslim Brotherhood members from Qatar.
5. Expel anti-GCC elements.
6. End support of 'terrorist organisations.'
7. Stop interfering in Egyptian affairs.
8. Cease broadcasting the Al Jazeera news channel.
9. Apologise to all Gulf governments for 'abuses' by Al Jazeera.
10. Qatar must pledge that will not carry out any actions that contradict the policies of the GCC and adhere to its charter.

Yeah, as I posted that I just realized it's only a single source. This being bullshit makes a lot more sense than KSA literally making a supervillain ultimatum, but then again it's 2017 and Donald Trump is president so I'm not even 100% sure this is reality anymore.

The fine is only 10% of the bribe? So it's just a transaction fee.

Yeah Bush was profoundly lovely in a multitude of ways, some perhaps worse than Donald, but he had at least a passing interest in doing the job with something resembling competency - if only for his image's sake. Donald doesn't know a drat thing and won't be assed to learn or to delegate.
