Have you seen this?
Breaking:

Phyllis Fong, a 22-year veteran of the department, had said she didn’t believe the admin followed proper protocols. www.reuters.com/world/us/usd...

Trump was never a ‘CEO’ he had a small business with his kids as employees and a couple of greasy lawyers. Dude ain’t Lee Iacocca.

I, for one, am writing to the Pennsylvania attorney general because surely Donald’s statement is enough to open an investigation.

Is Trump suggesting state owned media? I can’t stress how dangerous this is. I’m also concerned no one will care because they’ll get to keep their TikTok

My one wish for the inauguration is that there is a gift bag under the seats of Bezos, Zuck, Elon etc, with a single, embroidered , padded knee pad

Need to protect themselves when they are on bended knee, kissing the ring 🤷😆

It wasn’t Merrick Garland.
The final report explains the delays. HINT: it wasn't Merrick Garland.

It also explains that DoJ did NOT rely on the J6 committee, nor was it "shamed" into "starting" the probe based on the hearings.

I'm sure we'll get all the relevant corporate media retractions. Right?

Kavanaugh 2.0. Chris Wray is a disgrace.
“The FBI background check on Pete Hegseth, President-elect Donald Trump's pick for defense secretary, does not include interviews with Hegseth’s ex-wives or with the woman who accused him of sexual assault in a California hotel room in 2017”
Pete Hegseth's FBI background check does not include interviews with key women from his past
The report doesn't have material from his ex-wives or a woman who accused Hegseth of sexual assault in 2017. Hegseth has said that encounter was consensual, and prosecutors never filed charges.

The Supreme Court is responsible for the delay delay delay. And he didn’t go after the Mueller stuff cuz Barr declined to prosecute in a secret OLC memo that was eventually released. You can’t bring a case that a prosecutor has already declined to prosecute. (That’s a simplification.)

He also believes there's a chance that if he works hard enough in certain industries he can become the first man to have his consciousness digitized and thereby become immortal.

Since in his view he's the most important person ever to live, there's no higher calling for him than becoming immortal.

I see no coherent argument for him being anything but the most dangerous man in history. He's on drugs, doesn't experience empathy, and is a white supremacist, the richest man on Earth, media illiterate, a pathological liar, unscrupulous, a fraudster, and candidly (sans one subject) barely educated.

To speak of what Elon Musk actually wants and intends to do almost makes one sound touched, as he's the first human to be in the position to achieve goals of this sort. For instance, it is estimated he will become the first trillionaire by 2029. His odds of being the most famous human ever are good.

Over 2+ years of working on a biography of Elon Musk, I've learned that his ambitions are significantly grander than anyone realizes. He wants to be the first trillionaire ever. He wants to be the most famous human who ever lived. He wants to rule the world. He wants to live forever.

All literally.

My ranking of damage to legacy media outlet:

1. ABC Trump settlement.
2. Joe Scarborough suck up.
3. Bezos pulling WaPo Harris endorsement.
4. CNN promoting Scott Jennings.
5. Fox Dominion settlement.

Thoughts?

Elon Musk is a corporate raider with an established history of buying up businesses, pushing out the founders, taking credit for their inventions and reshaping those businesses in his own image.

His latest raid?

The United States of America.

This was always their goal from the get-go — government capture for their own narrow self interests. It was all laid out in my memoir, Burn Book, but it’s still stunning in its scale and scope: www.nytimes.com/2024/12/06/u...

The press sees itself and its audience as culturally Democratic and thus Democratic scandals receive in-group coverage while Republican scandals are covered with a kind of anthropological remove. The press obsesses over whether it’s being too friendly to Democrats.

#CatholicChurch this is the result of @usccbofficial.bsky.social decades long war against women.
But Gibson says the church in the US is now facing an “existential crisis” given that Catholic leaders had been so aligned to Republicans based on pro-life causes.

“It’s as critical a moment for American Catholicism as it ever has been,” he said.
“(It) may be that a Trump presidency pushes the US hierarchy closer to Pope Francis and the Vatican,” David Gibson, director of the Center on Religion and Culture at Fordham University, told CNN.

Me, looking for silver linings ...
