The problem with having rather openly purged DOJ of all but the most shameless stooges and loyalists is precisely this: Even once the Epstein files are released, why would anyone believe that release is complete and undoctored?
At this stage there’s literally no reason to believe the admin, even if it releases more than you’d expect, are being forthcoming. It’s the opposite of conspiracy theory to look at the proudly lawless pattern of deception and raw power that this trump admin has engaged in then to conclude they’d…

So, like, anyone can walk in off the street and lecture at Oxford?
See also Curtis Yarvin's remarks in a recent Oxford lecture:

"Say what you want about MBS, he's quite an effective king I think in a lot of different ways. Um love the Ritz thing, the whole Saudi embassy thing, I don't know, but I mean he was a journalist". [Giggles]

I hear people just publicly and proudly being this fucking stupid and not caring and honestly the first thing I wonder is how or where you get socialized to not caring that everyone who knows anything about anything thinks you are a buffoon.

I did not have “Gordon Wood subtweets JD Vance at the American Enterprise Institute” on my 2025 bingo card.
And to his credit, Gordon Wood went to the AEI last night and declared his rejection of a blood-and-soil version of American identity "as passionately as I can."

Patrick Byrne is the Rudy Giuliani of John McAfees.
I have never heard of a default under circumstances remotely like this—the defendant fired his entire defense team, and new lawyers showed up on the first day of trial, and weren’t admitted in the district and one was literally an accused felon out of bail

Musk wants to be a Renaissance man, but he's not even a paleolithic man.

Paleolithic people made art, cared for the sick, & got together to share resources & ideas.

Musk would have died alone, crying that no one saw the genius of his plan to monetize hitting yourself in the head with a big rock.

If the plan is to tell consumers to pull back severely on consumption during the holidays, you’re trying to find a way to rationalize a recession.

“Adults don’t need gifts” == economic decline is imminent
Fox guest on how to save money during the holidays:

"Remember, adults don't need gifts. Focus on the people in your life who are aged 3 to 18. Grandma doesn't need slippers. If they don't live by you, don't get them a gift."

TurboTax is about to be integrated into ChatGPT, where customers will be guided through tasks tied to their tax filings or financial profile by the AI chatbot.

TurboTax owner Intuit is also paying OpenAI more than $100 million a year to power AI agents.

If the President can impose his own taxes and use the proceeds to spend on his own projects, all without Congress, we have a dictatorship not a constitutional republic.
