Deep state refugee from that darker place. Center/Left. Into politics, Ukraine, soccer, the arts, education, and emerging science/tech. Not the person you invite to parties, but the first you call when the SHTF.
It is to Trump's advantage to bring in people involved with Epstein. He can use it as leverage to get them to do what he wants.

People are assuming his gamble on robotics will pay off, which I admit is an area of future massive growth for someone. I just don't have faith that he can pull it off, and know that his blatant racism and political forays are like an anchor around Tesla's ability to grow into certain markets.

The worse his polling gets, the more desperate he will be to steal or suspend the elections. He will never be willing to face the consequences of his actions after leaving office.

Since I don't own Tesla and never will while Elon is involved, I am looking forward to seeing it "corrected."

It is a pure speculation stock now, with everything hinging on robotics and batteries, not cars.

Something tells me that "stop blaming me and start blaming Miller and Trump" isn't the best strategy for her longevity.

Watching the released videos, presumably with Trump doing it with young girls, would be worse than any fictional horror he has written.

+1 for the Lutherans! Our church (ELCA) has several older ladies, some of whom grew up in Nazi Germany, who are fired up angry over the fact that America can't see to recognize early stage fascism when faced with it.

So Trump hires friendly contractors with the billions collected, who purposely overestimate costs and give a large percentage of the money back to Trump under the table. Or he simply makes up fake contractors and consultants and pays it to sham shell companies controlled by him.

Bartiromo has had one of the most dramatic declines in credibility ever. I can explain away people like Lara Logan who went through traumatic experiences, but this case is just sad.

We have to win or America dies. Beshear won't scare the independents and non-MAGA conservatives who might vote Dem and is virtually guaranteed to win a fair election. Either he or Scott Kelly are the safest bets.

The negatives of taking Greenland are so overwhelming that the only reasons for Trump to ignore them would be
1) He thinks he can exploit the oil and minerals for his own personal gain
2) He is working for Putin, who stands to gain much here.
3) Both
Nothing else makes sense.

I'm very worried about AI models being trained with the slop and making more and more false assumptions. Eventually people won't know if the underlying "facts" and assumptions used were actually real.
