๐จ BREAKING: LONDON TRIED TO FLEX, ELON MUSK JUST DROPPED A TOTAL DIGITAL BLACKOUT! ๐๐ฌ๐ง๐ฅ
๐ฌ๐ง UK Prime Minister: "Elon Musk, adjust your platform algorithms and hand over satellite telemetry logs to our regulators immediately, or we will revoke your commercial spectrum licenses and seize all Starlink UK ground stations!" ๐ฌ๐ง๐กโก
๐ Elon Musk: "You confused parliamentary decrees with orbital mechanics. In space, satellite constellations don't bow to bureaucracy. Try revoking our licensesโyour ministers can issue all the press releases they want, but your regional maritime routes can't function without high-speed telemetry." ๐๐ช๐ฅ
๐ฌ๐ง UK Prime Minister: "We will freeze SpaceX financial accounts in London and restrict your aerospace access!" ๐ฌ๐งโ ๏ธ๐
๐ Elon Musk: "Freeze whatever accounts you like! The moment your order goes live, SpaceX software shifts subsea data routing keys away from North Sea terminals. Good luck guiding transatlantic cargo fleets through maritime storms on dark screens!" ๐โ๏ธ๐๐

We met with Jim Jordan's legal team in 2023 regarding J6. We gave them actionable evidence of a set up. His team seemed genuinely interested. Two weeks after the meeting they went dark.
Jim Jordan is a fraud and you are sadly completely ill-informed if you think otherwise.
Jim Jordan was elected under Bush in 2006, became a fierce opponent of former Speaker Boehner and the establishment then helped found the Freedom Caucus in response.
In 2018, he challenged Kevin McCarthy for Leader, but lost. Ran for Speaker in 2023 but failed to secure enough votes.
Now, after nearly two decades in Congress, Jordan has finally been elected Leader, defeating Steve Scalise by 33 votes. He is now positioned to become the next Speaker if Republicans take back the House.
This represents a change from the old guard to the new guard. Extremely promising sign.
Get ready.

An obese idiot proudly saving their local abandoned parking lot from being turned into a local money-printing machine is a perfect metaphor for what the country did last Tuesday.

Here's who to primary in 2028, folks. All of them.
Hope they enjoy their last 2 years of elected office.

Regardless of personal opinions about Russell Brand, on the exact same day he received a prison sentence of ten years and six months, an Afghan national appeared in court for three counts of rape and penetration of a child under 13, but received a two-year suspended sentence.

This was by far the strangest thing about moving to SF. Contra the standard โyokel in the big cityโ story, I was mostly surprised by how janky everything is here. Middle class Oklahoma houses were mostly built or remodeled like 2 years ago, everything neat and functional and smooth. You can buy one for like 100k. Here, you pay 3k/month for a studio and itโs got holes in the walls and mold patches and the power randomly fails. Thereโs no parking ever, anywhere. Bums are just wandering by at all hours. I grew up with very average people, and it wasnโt uncommon to have a three-car garage with a jet ski or ATV in it. The difference in physical standards of living is insane. Youโd have to be worth like $50 million to have a decent redneck home in SF. Yeah restaurants or whatever but I can buy bone marrow and prosciutto at the grocery store.
Truly feels like a 3rd world country: crazy amenities for the ultra-wealthy and disfunction otherwise.

Two white Ole Miss students are accused of making monkey noises outside the apartment of a black student. It's one of the top national news stories in the nation.
Meanwhile, 4 black men in Albany, Georgia are charged with murdering a 15-year-old white kid and there is no national news coverage.
Why is that?

If the DSA is raking in foreign money from communist countries, Florida will hold the DSA accountable.

If you don't understand the EC, or want to eliminate the EC, you are the reason for the EC.

Spare us the indignation, @SenMikeLee. You've had 2 years to do something about John Thune's war against POTUS. 2 years! All you've done is pontificate on cable television. If you and your colleagues really wanted to advance the president's agenda, you would've removed Thune from power a long time ago.

This data center nonsense is just the modern day nuclear power debate: a bunch of alarmists are gonna set us back 30 years because they fell for misinformation, again!

After suffering the most significant loss in more than 50 years, will the Senate GOP really just keep everyone in place via a closed door, secret vote?
๐จ BREAKING: Republican Senators are about to take a SECRET BALLOT and possibly elect JOHN THUNE as the next Senate Minority Leader, despite a push to delay the race
This means we have no way of knowing every senator voted for Thune
Lawrence Jones' response is PURE TRUTH:
"After what happened on Tuesday, why would they think that what they're doing currently is ACCEPTABLE to the voters? I mean, you've got to have some self-assessment and figure out what went WRONG."
"And if the voters feel like you didn't deliver on the agenda and many of it died in the Senate, and you're gonna take that same leadership path, I think that's SUIC*DE RIGHT THERE!"
Should not have tried to hold the election today, barely ONE WEEK after the shellacking in the midterms
The focus should be Thune leading us to common sense legislation passage for 60 days straight!

DeSantis is proof that if you actually govern by conservative principles, you will be successful.

The Electoral College is why a farmer in Iowa matters as much as a banker in Manhattan.
Anybody trying to scrap it doesn't want a fairer system.
They want you to stop mattering.

This is what happens when people mistake a board game for an economics education.
Monopoly has a fixed amount of wealth, no innovation, no investment, no productivity growth, and no new businesses. Capitalism has spent centuries doing precisely what Monopoly cannot, creating wealth that didn't previously exist.
The richest people in 1900 couldn't buy an antibiotic, a smartphone, or a commercial flight. Today, ordinary people have access to things kings couldn't have imagined.
Monopoly is a game about acquiring existing assets. Capitalism is an economic system that allows people to create entirely new ones.
If your understanding of economics comes from passing Go and collecting $200, perhaps sit this one out.
