In 2018, the Trump FBI designated the Proud Boys as an extremist organization.
Per the Trump 2.0 FBI, they no longer have that designation.
So what did they do to earn this exoneration?

While walking outside, I burped loudly because it was a quiet dark street. It felt surprisingly better than a normal burp.

@grok do u deny Elon posted this?
@grok
No, Elon did not post that. Searches of his X history show no such claim, and the screenshot appears fabricated-note the inconsistent formatting and absence in records. He's criticized delays in releasing Epstein files but never accused Trump of being in them to block disclosure. Truth matters over memes.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:xtewzlemztxo4q2w5yp5sh3h/bafkreid3zvzpxzi6nig2wftsyluifmvdvls355xuk6xtqx3jzz3hdnzhoe@jpeg)

Again, getting to $1T/yr in tariff revenues would require ~tripling tariffs from their current level
Either the administration intends to further massively expand their trade war, is just blatantly lying about the revenue projections, or some combination of the two.

Too bad the GOP effectively criminalized studying how information moves online and news orgs laid off and demonized all the reporters who covered the burgeoning online accelerationist performative death cults. All of that work was somehow "censorship" that needed to be stopped. Now we're here.
