It took seeing adult bullies to understand that my childhood bullies didn’t even really want to hurt me, they just wanted to feel powerful and how I felt about it wasn’t even in the equation.

I can’t imagine someone not outgrowing that, but apparently it happens quite a lot!

Update: Elon Musk has now posted several times in support of Georgescu; Trump has also threatened Romania in the last few days trying to pressure them to allow the Russian operative to run for presidency. JD Vance specifically went to Europe to add pressure on this issue.

The Elon Musk backed pro-Russian candidate in Romania, Calin Georgescu has been arrested. Authorities raided him like the crook he is and found at least $10 million in cash and tickets to Moscow. He may have also bumped his head a little bit too.

Anthony Hopkins once said: "Power doesn't change people, it just takes away the need to pretend. The righteous protects, the ambitious abuses, and the insecure becomes a tyrant. It is not power that corrupts, it is the true face of each that emerges when there is no longer a fear of consequences."

Similar Russia-linked disinformation campaigns hit the U.S. right before the 2024 election: tinyurl.com/f2yua7fm

In disinfo targeting the U.S., it was Trump ballots being "destroyed". In disinfo targeting Germany, it was AfD (far-right party) ballots.

What purpose does this serve?

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story.

Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver.

This is what "merit" means to them.

Musk’s companies have pulled in a staggering $20 billion in govt contracts and subsidies

It’s an interesting contrast—when public funds go toward social programs, it’s labeled as wasteful spending, but when billions flow into pockets of billionaire’s empire, it’s called “investment in innovation”
