It wouldn't be the Trump administration without a weekly failure to indict public servants he hates on trumped-up charges, while pardoning drug traffickers, 3 of whom were granted pardons today. Trump's associates may have now further enriched themselves with pardons purchased with more drug money.

If she'd served in Trump's administration instead of Obama's the right would be in full shriek, yabbling on about cancel culture and character assassination. It's like dealing with herds of sugar-crazed toddlers at a county fair.

Jeffrey Epstein's December 20, 2016 email to Bill Gates: "come to visit the island. new administration people visiting." What was the upcoming administration in December2016? Oh!

I think the lesson here is that, if you build a system that is much smarter than humans, you yourself weren't really all that smart to begin with.

Elon is a racist and an antisemitic white supremacist, but please stay on X, keep buying his cars, his stock and his lies about robotaxis and robots and Mars and hyperloops and Roadsters and Grok and birthrates and immigrants and women and Epstein. Just don't think about where the money goes, okay?

Almost on cue, the Dow is back under 50,000, not that it was ever what we should be talking about. The Epstein victims have still not had their day in court, the files are still being hidden, and there will never be a reckoning while this administration is comb-over-deep in this cover-up. #countless

If you're a Dem, you should watch Joe Neguse, who has my vote for House Rookie of the Year for the times he has eviscerated GOP goons, pointing out the hypocrisy of Bondi saying if people come for LEOs, she'll come for them, by showing one of her current employees yelling "Kill 'em!" at cops on 1/6.

Why does legacy media only look at the topline number when government statistics are released? Investors look deeper which is why Wall St. wasn't joyous about the jobs increase reported today. Jobs added were mostly in healthcare. -900K jobs revision down from last year. Last 6 mos. last year -1K.

The image below has been redacted (bottom) for the sake of accuracy.

Lutnick told us he could sense that bad things were going on in Epstein's house in 2005. He claims he ended contact then. In 2008 Epstein pleads guilty to 2 counts of soliciting, one with a minor. In 2012 they were in business together. Lutnick's greed outweighed the ruined lives of children.

Sleazebag riot! The timing of Bondi's latest end-run around the law might have been better than this day, when the sleaziest GOP sleazebags crawled up and crowned Bannon King Sleaze. When fuckballs like Roger Stone, Elon Musk, Mark Levin, and Dinesh D'Souza are calling him a sleazebag, he's fucked.

Would you say an investment that dropped 98% since its launch was doing well? Fortune did. They should change the name "Fortune" because with articles like this, no reader will have one. The Crypto Crash only wiped out 27% of that 98% loss on Melania's memecoin so... The advice here is ETTD. Again.

Remember when Elmo said Tesla's perpetually-delayed Roadster would fly? Don't look (at China) now, cuz besides the Yangwang U9 which can jump, there's this rolling aircraft carrier from Xpeng, which is one of the bigger automakers. Slated for production starting this year. Less than $300K in PRC.

Data centers in space in 3 years? All kinds of crazy here. Current payload for Falcon Heavy to geosynchronous orbit 18000 lbs. Current weight of high-density server racks 4000-5000 lbs Number of racks in hyperscale data centers (typ.) 5000+ The rack weights are for terrestial use and don't ⏬

It's worth noting that one of the first scalps taken in this latest Epstein release was a Democratic mega-donor and you don't see Dems rushing to defend him, do you? Or the Clintons. Or Noam Chomsky. But you do see Trump saying let's move on and Bari Weiss clinging to Attia like he was Jonas Salk.

Notorious torture sites: Auschwitz, the Hanoi Hilton, Minneapolis multiplexes.

A lot of news stories seem to be missing important context. Titles should be applied when merited: Epstein Business Partner Commerce Secretary Lutnick Epstein Advisor Steve Bannon Epstein Pal Elon Musk Epstein Co-molester De-Princed Andrew Mountbatten Epstein BFF Rapist Felon POTUS Donald Trump

"An uncontrolled, aggressive animal can hinder official duties and threaten safety.” --US Marshals. Remind me again, which one is the uncontrolled, aggressive animal in this clip?

The Free Press (BTW behind a paywall so, not free) taps Soave to make a ludicrous argument that "innocent" lives'll be ruined. Anyone who did biz w/Epstein after 2008 knowingly aided and abetted trafficking. They knew he was a pedophile and made money with him anyway. Cash he used to ruin more lives

Note to the GOP: There is no fucking way to spin this that makes Trump look less racist. STFU.

"A Trump ally...said the president had no knowledge of the post." Uh..this is Trump's Truth Social account and he has no idea what's being posted on it? Yeah, that tracks.

The question most humans would ask at this point is, "So if no human works for the company or gets any wages or creates any value, what are these companies selling and to whom?" For a pro-natalist/snake-oil salesman/fascist, Elon doesn't seem to be thinking very far ahead or about people at all.

It is inaccurate not to describe him as a racist pig.

IMO, Transparency Act needs to be followed by Epstein Prosecution Act. Shouldn't there be a RICO case about this? There should be an independent prosecutor (with experience in child abuse cases) and task force to investigate and bring prosecutions--the leads are too diffuse rn to gel into action.

There should have been perp walks in 2008. There'd better be perp walks in 2026. If the people who enabled Epstein are able to go free, no child in America is safe. No child will ever believe in justice. The perpetrators of child abuse will tell them "No one will believe you". And they'll be right.

I guess we now know why some Big Law firms knuckled under when threatened by the regime. Somebody in the corner offices had some skellies in the closet and the DOJ had the receipts. Could this also explain the attendance of numerous tech titans at the inauguration?

Yes, I may have paraphrased a little from the DHS website but if a terrorist group wanted to stage a mass attack on the US, all they'd have to do is rent some vans, stencil ICE on their combat gear, mask up and start shooting people. It would take a week for ICE to figure out it wasn't their crew.

This is vertical integration: 1. Print money hyping Tesla stock 2. Ask xAI what to do with the money 3. Put the money on the SpaceX launch pad and incinerate the money 4. Have The Boring Company dig a hole to bury the money 5. Go on X and hype the stock to print more money A Galaxy-Brain at work.

Soon we'll all have to register our hands as deadly weapons, not just those with martial arts skills. If you have fairly large caliber hands you may be required to keep them holstered. If you discharge your weapon (by saying pew, pew) you will be subject to immediate arrest as handed and dangerous.

This is just em-Bari-ssing. Bari Weiss doesn't want to bend to the "mob" calling for Peter Attia's firing after a cache of his e-mails to Epstein were released. I think the "mob" refers to every-fucking-body who isn't you, Bari. This guy was meeting with Epstein while his infant son was in ICU.

This guy should be toast, but CBS' Bari Weiss is actually fighting to keep him. Toast, BTW, is not a low-carb food unlike Dr. Attia's favored snack. If you've read the news, you know what I mean and the reasons this guy should be out, after a couple of swift kicks in the balls. He's a sleazewad.

That's an honest mistake. Oops!

Trump says he won't tear down Kennedy Center. Trump won't tear down a living monument to JFK? How fucking generous. Maybe he can promise not to bulldoze the Lincoln Memorial or the Washington Monument next. "Nice West Wing you got there. Be a shame if anything were to, well, you know..." #ETTD

Imagine you're a high-school dropout who couldn't believe they were willing to pay you for beating up people and pretending you were trained for Army stuff and the best part... you could wear a mask, so no one would ever know who you were. There's a reason they hire high-school dropouts, dumbshits.

If you think the price of gold in the US has risen because it's a safe haven in turbulent economies, you're underestimating the amount needed for Trump's trashy taste in decorating. Expect a bump tomorrow.

He lowered his age by 20 years? What? From 100?

The US car industry has always felt that if it fell behind other countries it could catch up. After all, it caught up with Japan and Germany, kind of. But the Chinese are setting such a torrid pace with new models every month. Unless the US gets in the running, we'll be 20 years behind in 2 years.

So Musk is bragging about keeping Russians from poaching Starlink for drone targeting, while the Iranians claimed to have shut down Starlink with Russian jamming technology. Which all raises the question of why a non-state actor has such an important role in current geopolitical warfare. Not good.

Musk famously outed Trump as being "in the Epstein files". Every accusation is a confession, even when they're accusing each other.

This is the same reason that people suspect that AI is a bubble. Because it's the same money moving around between players at the top. Musk has also boosted Cybertruck sales by selling them to SpaceX, bailed out X by selling it to xAI, and Tesla just announced a $2B investment in xAI. Incestuous.

This is a good look at FSD and the 4680 battery pack that was supposed to transform Tesla into a trillion dollar company. While it may be valued in trillions, there doesn't seem any clear path to it being worth what Wall St. thinks it's worth. They've gone from First Mover to also-ran, in a year.

When Alex Rodriguez dumped Seattle and signed a big-money contract with the Texas Rangers, for years afterward, when he was up to bat dollar bills would rain down on the field like confetti. If Homan shows up in Minneapolis, to call attention to his corruption protesters should make it rain.

"Affordability" apparently doesn't mean making things more affordable.

"Any color as long as it's black" was the credo of the Model T Ford. "Any model as long as it's a Model 3 or tall Model 3(Y)" is Tesla's. The EV maker's axing its Model S and X and the Cybertruck's sales are unsustainably low, so Tesla will soon sell one 9-year old platform amid fierce competition.

During the recent plague, people were quarantined in at home, retail stores closed, the country plunged into recession. And yet, US consumer confidence plunged to its lowest level since 2014 this month. People had a more optimistic view of the economy when there were mobile morgues in the streets.

For years the GOP and NRA have been saying that the surest sign of tyranny was that an authoritarian leader would try to stop people from carrying guns. The last couple of days an authoritarian leader has been saying that people should stop carrying guns. Of course he's their authoritarian, so...

Maybe "Roman salutes" don't go play so well in post-WWII Europe, even in Rome.

IMO moderation lists are the least useful part of BlueSky. Some people take a holier-than-thou attitude if you use a hashtag, or are added to/follow Starter Packs, or if they decide you have grown your follower count too fast, or just because anger. Some shit who auto-posts lists just added me to a⏬
