🔥 D.L. Hughley on @stephenasmith’s dinner with Trump: “You did this for YOU. Why is it the people who hate us feel so comfortable talking to you? You got a meal, everyone else is starving.
When NABJ gave SAS a thumbs down award he went scorched earth. When Trump impugned his intelligence he went to dinner.”
Those who still support Elon Musk fall into one of three categories: 1) neo-Nazis; 2) marks (as he's without question one of the most prolific con men in human history); and 3) people who've been personally enriched by his grifts. It's difficult to say which group is the largest.
@ParrotCapital@TroyxRoot See what you're saying but donations from SBF are orders of magnitude away from trump / R corruption. Even the corrupt lobbying and legislating for ex. out of WY
The false equivalence is bullshit. We would be light years better off with Dems, nonzero corruption notwithstanding
In case you lost count…
> Trump personally rugged 2 meme coins with near 100% investor losses
> Barron rugged a meme coin with near 100% investor losses
> The Eric, Don Jr, and Barron $WLFI scam is down 60%
> A UAE Sheikh bought 49% of $WLFI for $500M days before Trump was elected, to buy himself rights to restricted US AI chip tech
> The same Sheikh later used $2B of Trump’s $USD1 to do a deal with Binance, after they were caught money laundering …with profits of the stablecoins flowing to Trump
> Eric & Don’s $ABTC Bitcoin Treasury Ponzi is down >95%
> Eric is on the board of the $MTPLF Bitcoin Treasury Ponzi down 87%
> Eric was Director of Alt5 Sigma… an entity that used $1.5B to buy $WLFI…with an estimated $500M + flowing to Trump-linked entities…before it then suspended its CEO, got sued by shareholders, and is now reportedly near insolvency.
> The banker of Tether, the worst enabler for scams and fraud in world history, is Trump’s commerce secretary
> Trump pardoned CZ for a bribe after he was caught money laundering for terrorists and sanctioned regimes (then partnered with him to help launch his own scams)
> Trump dropped all pending SEC and Fraud investigations against Justin Sun after he bought up to $190M worth of $WLFI & $TRUMP
> A Trump Tower-based firm called Dominari Holdings partly owned by Eric and Don Jr., that brokered Justin Sun's Tron going public, is under House scrutiny after 11 of 29 Chinese IPOs it underwrote crashed in patterns consistent with manipulation.
…but don’t worry the crypto scam crackdown is coming!
@anondeguerre@ParrotCapital@StealthQE4 No. The calculus is that even if they could decide the war today with the snap of a finger they prefer Russia to win
@StealthQE4 Anything these pussy finance bro accounts say is meaningless unless it starts with “I am a Moron and I was wrong. Kamala was the right choice by a mile.”
Alex Gibney on Elon Musk: “What you have is an overinflated sense of how much he’s leading to the improvement of global civilization. His genius is stock pumping. He’s not a genius inventor, he never invented anything”
Incredible scoop by my @WSJ colleagues: Elon Musk ordered the slowdown of a military-grade version of Starlink relied on by Ukraine, a decision that sparked panic in Kyiv and confusion inside the Trump administration. https://t.co/yvd8Xlgxe0
The man standing next to Randy Fine and Ron DeSantis, in Israel, is Mike Caruso, currently on trial for forcing his penis into his 3 year old grandson’s mouth and peeing in it. Randy Fine’s political committee donated to him.
Master Sgt. Nicole Amor of White Bear Lake was killed in Kuwait. Her husband, Joey — who I have gotten to know well in the worst of circumstances and have worked with him to push for answers — asked JD Vance how this administration will hold leaders accountable for the failures that led up to it.
Vance said it was “literally the first time I’ve heard of this.”
Our servicemembers and their families deserve better. Joey and the families of all those who were lost that day deserve answers. They WILL get them.
“There is an entire MAGA industrial complex that has risen up in the Trump era that thinks it has permanently won arguments, when it has really just drafted behind Trump and Trumpism. They’ve pushed through open doors and doors knocked off their hinges by Trump, and think they’ve won an intellectual argument. But the midterms look poised to deal a massive blow to that, in part because their arguments for protectionism, industrial policy, and mass deportation have not yielded anything like the “golden age” that was promised. I find the idea that these guys—the self-styled intellectuals, the jabroni remora apparatchiks, and the get-rich-while-the-getting-is-good grifters, alike—will be well situated to win arguments on the right or anywhere else in the post-Trump era very implausible. Because the record of their tenure, in terms of policy and politics, won’t look like a golden age to anybody.”
