Sam Altman HAS to kiss the Trump ring. It's Altman's only hope against Elon Musk hiring Ross Ulbricht to put a hit out on him.

Many of Musk's enemies will have a series of unfortunate *accidents* in the next six months to a year.

No one could believe it actually.
And way to shame a dead man for not having cat-like reflexes of 79 year-old.

Trump at the Charlie Kirk memorial event: "They fired sniper rifles at ICE agents, and me. But I made a turn at a good time. I made a turn at a good time. Charlie couldn't believe it, actually."

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing?
2? Questions
I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up.
Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

AZ AG Mayes: If I have to, I’ll take Speaker Johnson to court. There's no legitimate reason for him to refuse to swear her in right now. And it's not fair for Mike Johnson to be holding the state of Arizona hostage because he doesn't want to release the Epstein files.

No one will ever respect poor Pentagon Pete and that flaccid lil golf pencil he's surely packing.

NEW: Pentagon officials are forcing staff to watch Pete Hegseth's "Warrior" speech he forced generals to listen to.

Officials are even "testing" staff to see if they watched — and are threatening consequences if they lie about watching it or if they mock it, sources tell @swin24.bsky.social and I.

The Pentagon Is Ordering Staff to Watch Hegseth’s ‘MAGA Garbage’ Speech… Or Else

Defense Department sources tell Zeteo that staff have been warned that if they don’t watch or read the speech, or if they speak negatively of it, they could face severe consequences.

Yeah, this isn't it. 😐
These are human lives, not political statistics.
Even if Trump sees it as such & whoever made this thinks it insults & demeans Trump, it doesn't. It insults & demeans the victims.
