I only heard the name in relation to this case… Read stuff about the person but have no interest to check it out.

He’s also big on YouTube… and quite funny/original.

Isn’t it because the -frothing at the mouth- “influencer” bo loudon ‘declared’ Khaby Lame overstayed his visa already and must be arrested so bo notified the nazi’s, err regime, like a proper collaborator should?

I have not seen this information anywhere, it should be brought to attention more.

Everywhere it is “rioters ordered the waymos, they arrived empty and then were set on fire”.

I wonder what the white substance would be

I am leaning a bit towards it being smoke and mirrors…
Musk needs a way out to save his tesla stocks, in his political doge role he was so unpopular that it torched his Tesla value, his chance to become the first trillionaire is diminished …

So, being visibly critical of, and exiting doge over, a new tax bill might give him some brownie points in the eyes of the public (or so he hopes) and he’ll launch some propaganda how Tesla is so good for the environment again to get people back on board.

But besides that, he already accomplished what he set out to do, used doge to dig up all sorta of data, twist systems where needed for trumps later goals/plans, and with his help and the stolen data elon made sure lawsuits against him and his companies were silenced. This was his slightly subtle plan to do.

Whatever the doge department was supposed to stand/work for was not important at all, just look at the real numbers of its accomplishments… All in all just about zero, since current contracts just run out their time and or get paid out anyway, they just won’t get renewed. So they’re basically shouting “doge saved 50million now by not signing a new contract in 2 years time” Which isn’t really a current saving at all, is it?

Meanwhile he’ll be chummy with Trump, if only to make sure “people won’t ever need to vote again”, but that role does not require public appearances from elon.

You’re right … but I think it currently is the wrong argument to make that it’s been going on so long…
The (extreme) situational corruption of this sitting ruler is what needs to be halted now and make it the final drop to setup regulations against what happened for 40 years.

Frankly, it feels like she’s testing you. You mention you’ve been chatting a while and she might have the urge to test you among her children to see how you interact with them.
There’s a good chance she might not fully realize she is doing this.
And it doesn’t even mean she looks for a direct change in relationship status.
Her motherly instinct just tells her “here is this guy who seems friendly, but how safe is this for my children?”

So, if you’re put off by this and have no interest in her or the circumstances, just let her know gently.
If you blow up on her directly about her kids you’ll just upset the mother in her and she might not understand, and you might be seen as the a-hole.

$2 billion to Trump Academy 2.0 … $1 billion in a jar somewhere that no one remembers and is slowly being siphoned off into trumps personal slush fund.

But last weeks phone call was going to compel putin to give peace to ukraine! Surely putin was so impressed by trump’s peace-deal that he listened to trump and gave him all that he wanted, right? right?

Not? Then grand pooba trump shall reward putin for ignoring him and publicly making him eat his words.

Frankly, I am bummed by this news.

I read the books, but seeing how it was a decade+ ago since I last went through some of them, most of it is a blur and I can forgive some of the changes in favor of smoother storytelling.

While the show brought familiarity back, and season 1 was painfully bad in almost all ways, from adapting/changing characters to lore. The show was leaps better in S2 and with S3 each episode felt very cinematic and now told a more cohesive story.

So, even though it was adapted, I was looking out for each new episode and had high spirits for a good S4.

Alas, if it is not picked up by any other studio, the “unfilmable book series” will remain that way, no one will burn their hands on it again. So, those cheering its demise, take that in consideration.

In closing, Prime definitely did not do it full justice at the starting line and it was expensive to catch up to that fact …
But the show was treated and produced better than Rings of Power, which does get another stay and money pumped into it, a choice I rather saw turned around.

And ever since, because he did it, everyone else else should be smiling and appear happy on their photos, lest they be threatened with cheese violence.

Ah okay, so everything the US does will be contested and taken away, check.

The Great American Island, where non-diseased eggs cost $3 a piece and smog colors she skies yellow.
Where ports send empty freighters back and forth to appear busy.
Where the lower class are enslaved to corporations feeding the rich.
Where criminals weaponize the lawbook to punish the poor.
The place where most sickness does not exist, people just keel over.
The Island the world leaves behind.

China will gladly be the economic decider, Russia the oppressive world police. And the US the petulant child blaming everyone else.

How are the tariffs on horse tranquilizers and bleach these days? /s

Yeah well the thing is:
If no one enforces the judiciary’s edicts, but they all say aye to whatever trump’s new decree of the day is then Judicial is just standing there foot in mouth …

I’d say don’t argue with the courts at all.

Declare their opposition to -your new laws- illegal, while being sure there is no force to stop you making the courts submissive to your new king’s laws.

Just about what they are doing now.

He accomplished all he set out to do, with one caveat, because he stood in the bad limelight his image and monetary value took a serious nosedive. This last part is why he now is standing in the back, yet leering around the room wherever the president is.

The one thing he was aspiring towards did receive a huge blow, he was racing to become the world’s first trillionaire. And it might just be a setback that he can catch up with, but for now he does need to focus to try and crank all his stocks back up…

I am not familiar with any of the tipping laws, but what prevents an employer (now) to withhold the tipping jar from employee’s wages, especially now, under the norm of non taxed, in effect non official, incomes?

So, before one would get (income+tips) - taxes; and now only Income - Taxes because on paper the tips don’t exist?

I do not want it, but in a way I would have schadenfreude if in the most polluting areas of the US (at least) severe localized smog appears, like in China the last decade…
