Absolutely fantastic rebuttal from the owner of the grocery store that Nick Shirley falsely accused of committing EBT fraud.
They posted this over 2.5 weeks ago and it wasn’t until they threatened legal action that he finally owned his lies.
Jensen Huang rescued me from probably living in debt the rest of my life. I was told I was one of just three hires that he approved during the pandemic, during a hiring freeze. I've never spoken to him, and only passed by him in HQ once. His personal life is frankly none of my business. But as a leader, I have yet to meet a better one. Ousting him is financial suicide, and I can only assume there is a hidden ulterior motive because I can't fathom any other reason for destroying the company's value.
Abdul El-Sayed absolutely destroys Donald Trump.
Q: You recently called President Trump the dumbest effing guy who ever was president.
AES: True.
Q: You've also said Democrats should drop the decorum and treat the president as the unserious fool that he is.
AES: True.
Q: Why are you taking that approach?
AES: Because he's a bully alongside being a narcissist. And the only way you deal with bullies is to stand up to them. Bullies don't bully you because they necessarily care for the thing you have. They bully you because they like to bully you because it makes them feel strong. And the way you take on a bully is to bully back. Because then they learn that this does not make them feel strong. It makes them feel weak and they don't like to feel weak. So they back off. And the more you let a bully get away with bullying, the more they signal to everybody else that this person cannot be stood up to. And so I think it's important for us to stand up to him.
This Jensen Huang/Nvidia scandal is quite bizarre. The most dominant CEOs of the world's most powerful corporations rarely fall, let alone as easily and rapidly as this seems to be happeing. He's on the brink of being ousted with remarkable velocity and vanishingly little evidence.
Over what? If "mere" extramarital affairs were sufficient for ouster, how many top CEOs would be left? Not many. Hence the need for the sinister CCP/spying angle. But is there any tangible evidence at all that Alice Huang is an asset or spy for the Chinese government? Anything beyond anonymous vague US intelligence suspicions being mindlessly, dutifully recited (as always) by US corporate media?
The always smart and insightful @RnaudBertrand is required reading here, at least for the questions he raises:👇
Nick Shirley has made a name for himself throwing around accusations of fraud and publicly labeling people as scammers.
Now he’s had to walk back one of his own claims.
Here’s what I find particularly disturbing:
To my knowledge, not a single person he’s publicly accused in these cases has been criminally charged or convicted of fraud.
Yet he’s reportedly making tens of thousands of dollars from content built around these accusations.
When you publicly accuse people of crimes without establishing their guilt, the damage to their reputations can be enormous. And correcting the record afterward doesn’t erase that damage.
Accountability should apply to the accuser, too.
On the receiving end of some pretty wild verbal abuse for these comments simply acknowledging affordability IS an issue for many Americans, and buying a home IS harder for younger Americans than it used to be.
Socialism isn’t the answer. But if Republicans keep denying that these issues are real, they will keep losing… particularly with younger voters.
Let me be clear: I will never take a penny from AIPAC or Super PACs that don’t put Mississippi and America first.
This Senate seat belongs to the people of Mississippi. That’s who I’ll answer to.
🚨HOLY CRAP! no one could hear @ByronDonalds mic drop over all the cheering in the House and Senate.
That’s quite a lecture coming from Byron Donalds, a member of the party whose administration just proposed cutting SNAP eligibility for millions of Americans and eliminating automatic eligibility for free school meals for nearly 1.8 million children. Apparently, he’s terribly concerned about Cubans going hungry but considerably less concerned about hungry American families.
And perhaps the former drug dealer, who also has a history involving a bank fraud scheme, should familiarize himself with the Constitution before lecturing Democrats about democracy.
A war powers resolution doesn’t defend Cuba’s dictatorship. It defends Congress’s constitutional authority over war. Democrats can oppose Cuba’s authoritarian government without giving the convicted felon a blank check to launch another unauthorized military conflict.
You can oppose a dictatorship and oppose an unconstitutional war at the same time, Byron. Those positions aren’t contradictory. They’re called understanding the Constitution.
