I don’t understand. Is it worst then what Elon and company have said and believe? I mean good, but who pressured him to resign?

One imagines someone more connected to reality than Emperor Musk told him to resign. Look for him to soon be working elsewhere in the Reich. I am, once again, so very glad that my youth predated the World Wide Web.

Me too, for all sorts of reasons.

Though I never cease to be amazed that so many people seem never to have heard, or if they have, completely ignore, the advice I was given very early on -- if you're not content to hear it read out in court, or to see it quoted on the front page of The Dairy Mail and The Sun, never put it in writing.

It's understandable -- just -- and a boon to prosecutors everywhere when drug dealers and their clients text each other, but how people can say the most objection stuff on social media without thinking that one day it may come back and bite them is beyond me.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

Trump's a bully, this time: sanctions on the International Crime Court, because it dared to issue an arrest warrant against Netanyahu.

"The ICC has, without a legitimate basis, asserted jurisdiction over and opened preliminary investigations concerning personnel of the United States and certain of its allies, including Israel, and has further abused its power by issuing baseless arrest warrants targeting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Former Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant."

Elon Musk Shares Fake Video Claiming USAID Paid Hollywood Stars to Promote Zelenskyy

Elon Musk shared a fake video alleging USAID funded celebrities to promote Zelenskyy, which has been refuted by the celebrities and officials.

united24media.com

American billionaire Elon Musk, the owner of X platform and newly designated special government employee, shared a fake video claiming that the US Agency for International Development (USAID) funded Hollywood celebrities to boost the popularity of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

The video mentions several American celebrities who visited Ukraine and allegedly received multi-million-dollar payments from USAID to “increase Zelenskyy’s popularity among foreign audiences, particularly in the United States,” the video claims.

“The celebrities themselves have stated that this is false and that USAID never paid them. The video was created by Russians, and the media outlet cited as the original source [E! News] doesn’t have any such news at all,” Head of the Center for Countering Disinformation, Andrii Kovalenko, wrote on his Telegram channel.

This from the man that intends to utilize US troops to invade and occupy Canada, Greenland, and Palestine.

He is still a child. I imagine having allmof this crap come up publicly maybe had him actually grown a tiny bit of self awareness.

If we are lucky, someone has been talking to him getting facts about DOGE.

‘In a real sense, US democracy has died’: how Trump is emulating Hungary’s Orbán https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/feb/07/trump-viktor-orban-electoral-autocracy?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=bluesky&CMP=bsky_gu

A pitiless crackdown on on illegal immigration. A hardline approach to law and order. A purge of “gender ideology” and “wokeness” from the nation’s schools. Erosions of academic freedom, judicial independence and the free press. An alliance with Christian nationalism. An assault on democratic institutions.

The “electoral autocracy” that is Viktor Orbán’s Hungary has been long revered by Donald Trump and his “Make America Great Again” (Maga) movement. Now admiration is turning into emulation. In the early weeks of Trump’s second term as US president, analysts say, there are alarming signs that the Orbánisation of America has begun.

With the tech billionaire Elon Musk at his side, Trump has moved with astonishing velocity to fire critics, punish media, reward allies, gut the federal government, exploit presidential immunity and test the limits of his authority. Many of their actions have been unconstitutional and illegal. With Congress impotent, only the federal courts have slowed them down.

So, the CIA agents who will be hung out to dry when they blow up that agency rather than a controlled draw down.

Imagine some of those people who take down countries for a living, Imagine the grudge if they get outed or left on their own overseas.

The real fun starts when they get their hooks in the NSA.

The real fun starts when they get their hooks in the NSA.

There are 17 "official" member groups of the US intelligence community, and quite literally several thousand smaller groups in on the action. Note that these are the ones PUBLICLY KNOWN TO EXIST. Fuck only knows what the actual numbers are, and what kind of role cris cross there actually is. The real reptiles seem content to just keep doing what they are doing so long as they are not directly inconvenienced in any real way.

However the number of potential "John Wick's Dog" situations continue to rise.
