No we wouldn't.

We would make NORTH Puerto Rico and SOUTH Puerto Rico states.

That's six extra senate seats.

Probably won't be necessary to pack SCOTUS as Roberts will likely prefer to resign than have his name permanently associated with the corruption that mandated reform.

Consultants who point out the obvious fact that Israel is a toxic subject for most primary voters aren't going to be hired by pols who think they owe their careers to the AIPAC money spigot.

The structural problem that isn't addressed by commentators is that 'consultants' aren't an unbiased group of experts. They are people who are looking to get hired by politicians and the advice they give is pitched to the median elected Democrat with large campaign contributions.

Unable to defend Trump's vanadlism of the White House, the bootlickers are trying to pretend that objections are 'foolish' and 'silly'.

That is how fascists defend the indefensible: By pretending it doesn't matter.

We are going to demolish the Epstein ballroom and make Trump pay for it!

If you work for a paper owned by a Russian oligarch, you are a bottom feeder.

Prince is not a public office. Even if it were, it has no powers, nor did any of the ceremonial offices he held. There has to be a direct link to the powers of the office.

If we were going to start putting people on trial for lying, I would start with Boris Johnson and Nigel Farage.

Andrew Lownie isn't any sort of lawyer. He is a bottom feeding journalist who writes crappy books on the Royal family and tries to get attention in the tabloid press.

Phillip Hallam-Baker @phill.hallambaker.com · 17h

That really isn't a crime outside of the fevered imagination of corrupt Trump DoJ prosecutors.

Unless the lie was in a court or congressional proceeding or made to the FBI, it isn't a crime in US law. It certainly isn't any sort of crime in UK law.

What crime are they supposed to investigate?

Sex with a 17 year old isn't illegal in the UK. Nor is lying about it.

He is in this mess because he tells stupid lies.

Phillip Hallam-Baker @phill.hallambaker.com · 18h

To what end?

Andrew is in this mess because he is incredibly stupid and didn't realize Epstein was a blackmailer until he was calling in every last favor to stay out of jail.

And then it will crash because the GPUs are being bought through circular finance:

nVidia invests $100 million in OpenAI, OpenAI buys $100 million worth of cloud services from Oracle, Oracle buys $100 million worth of chips from nVidia and everyones stock price goes up $500 million

Not sustainable

Phillip Hallam-Baker @phill.hallambaker.com · 20h

Andrew is too stupid to know anything about Epstein that we don't already know. he was a mark, clever blackmailers don't tell their marks anything useful.

The people who could tell us more are Maxwell who obviously isn't going to tell us anything and Maxwell and Epstein's victims.

Phillip Hallam-Baker @phill.hallambaker.com · 20h

So what is Andrew supposed to know about Epstein that we don't already know? We know that Epstein was a professional blackmailer. We know that Andrew was too stupid to realize he had been set up until long after he was compromized.

Phillip Hallam-Baker @phill.hallambaker.com · 20h

It is possible Andrew is also lying about not having sex with Giuffre, but that would not be criminal under UK law, the age of consent is 16.

Even taking Giuffre's account as completely true, it shows Epstein targeting Andrew to compromize him.

1

Phillip Hallam-Baker @phill.hallambaker.com · 20h

Andrew is being defenistrated for the lying and the coverup, not for what he actually did.

We know that Andrew met Giuffre and that Sarah borrowed $50,000 from Epstein at one point. We also know from the deposition that Epstein attempted to manipulate Andrew into a compromising position for a photo

Rupert Racist Murdoch must be really scared to publish this nonsense.

Phillip Hallam-Baker @phill.hallambaker.com · 1d

People are responding to a crappy article by a crackpot right winger complaining that London is 'declining' because the finance sector didn't become a hub for Ponzi-currencies.

A pretty transparent attempt by billionaire Bezos to smear Mamdani for NYC mayor so his favored rapey candidate can win.

US car makers are going to have to compete with China around the world, Trump's tariffs don't help them there. China is switching to all electric as fast as they can.

Phillip Hallam-Baker @phill.hallambaker.com · 1d

Trump is doing his best to kill off electric cars. Likely because Jeffrey Epstein worked for Saud and Trump thinks they might have evidence of him raping children there. But it is too late, electric cars are now cheaper than ICE.

The blood soaked dictatorship of Saud is headed for collapse as the oil price sinks. The sight of Democractic leaders grovelling to Saudi princes was always disgusting. We never needed their money and pretty soon, there will be no need for their oil.

Someone must have written this for Senile Orange, it is too coherent for the rapist and it is all true.

Reason the Senate won’t break the filibuster is simple - they don’t have a majority to pass the bill.

If that had been in place on Twitter, the corruption of the ‘for you’ feed would have caused it to be effectively deleted for most users, same for feeds with AI slop.
