‘Mr. President, do you understand that what you just said isn’t true?’

That’s the question to ask, over and over.
Again: Dems need to say, right now, that the moment they recapture the White House they’re shuttering this gaudy turd and turning it into office space for the American people.
Yet another immigrant that showed up after we loosened immigration laws in the ‘60s! Deport it immediately.
Who at the Pentagon would tell the truth if this donation didn’t actually exist? Nobody.

The headline should be ‘Pentagon parrots White House, offers no proof.’ You can’t believe this is true until someone produces a copy of the canceled check.
The handwriting issues, as BS as they are, aren’t even the issue here. The issue is *when you forget* to include the date, and whether that means your ballot should go in the shredder.

Bove, I suspect, wants all ballots in the shredder if they aren’t marked for You Know Who.
I mean, if Lindsey Halligan is prosecuting, I’d bet on the grenade launcher.

The call is coming from inside the MAGA house, which is unusual on its own, and reflects quieter complaints about the Trump family's crypto empire.

Two weeks ago, we at WIRED published a video showing how a hacked casino card shuffling machine can be used for undetectable cheating in poker. Now it turns out the mob and a couple of NBA stars were already (allegedly) using exactly this trick to make millions. www.wired.com/story/how-ha...
How Hacked Card Shufflers Allegedly Enabled a Mob-Fueled Poker Scam That Rocked the NBA
WIRED recently demonstrated how to cheat at poker by hacking the Deckmate 2 card shufflers used in casinos. The mob was allegedly using the same trick to fleece victims for millions.

We should all appreciate the internal Canadian politics here too, that Ford presumably wants to position himself as a potential successor to Mark Carney some day. So Ford is going to double down on this even if that puts Carney in a tricky spot (and I’m not sure it does).
The assumption here is that Johnson *wants* an effective Congress. He doesn’t. He wants to collect his paycheck and let Trump do the work.

The German company that makes the mechanical ladder used in the Louvre heist has used the image to advertise, with the text 'When you need to move fast'

10/10 response, no notes
This has all the hallmarks of an elderly man sundowning.

Wouldn’t be surprised if he walks it back today.
Look, I get that’s the MAGA dream, but look at Trump’s physical and mental decline. He’s not going to see the end of this term.
I think a crucial question is precisely when Trump made this announcement. Was late in the day, correct?

To me it has all the hallmarks of sun-downing. Wouldn’t be surprised if he wakes up today with some ‘Out of the kindness of my heart I’ll reconsider’ nonsense.
More like, they can’t *not* say they’re reviewing legal options— they need to say the right things to sooth the Dear Leader. Otherwise Trump would turn on them too.
Since the image is of a phone— couldn’t you turn the wi-fi off and join the call over cellular data networks?

(I get it, other problems with this too; but that’s one work-around that sprang to mind.)

Also I mean boards have to obtain the highest price for shareholders. They are allowed and should consider regulatory risk when considering alternatives. How much can Delaware consider these statements when evaluating regulatory risk of alternatives? Absolute mess.
This is authoritarianism. Picking his media oligarchs.
Not simply fascism. Monarchism.
>>In a statement, Schiff’s attorney Preet Bharara said….

Whoa, @preetbharara.bsky.social sighting!
He has no idea who the reporter is talking about.

This is bluff conversation dementia patients use when they’re not sure of specific things.

With Trump pardoning Changpeng Zhao and accusing the Biden administration of persecuting him because it hated cryptocurrency, here's a reminder of what the IRS's cybercrime investigators dug up on CZ and Binance. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/int...
Has anyone looked into how this company obtained the contract in the first place?

Just guessing that this work didn’t go through the normal bidding processes.
This ends up with a formal probe into Jewish space lasers, doesn’t?
And strip clubs, now that we’re brainstorming.
That’s one way to duck the issue.
