Monkeys throwing shit at each other.
From their own social media platform. Thats the part that always gets me about their spats. They only post and read on the platform they own.
Nah, they read everything about themselves, or have someone read it to them.
Then they go to the place where they literally control the narrative and respond.
you know. just like jefferson and hamilton. america has always been this weird form of fascism that fetishizes libertarian ideals while having a top down authoritarian regime. trump is just a lowering of the curtain. everything can get worse faster now because there's nothing preventing them from being who they really are
It's absolutely wild that the US president is able to pardon convicts. Like you have a supposedly independent legislature and judiciary, and the the president can just go "nuh-uh" to anything he doesn't like
the power of the pardon is meant to be a check/balance. no one really planned for the american people knowingly and willingly voting for corruption
The way that the parties used to control nominations helped keep ideologues out, and deal makers who knew how to play along in.
Then the tea party and money in politics went insane and now we have the dumbest Congress people and a somehow even dumber President.
People thought the smoke filled rooms that gave us Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, and Goldwater were the most corrupt thing and what we needed was more democracy.
And 2 generations later we got trump.
That makes no sense to me, it just reinforces the fact that the US president is essentially just an king that gets elected and has a term limit
They should federate.
I'm okay with that.
I'll allow it.
So a dementia-ridden ketamine addict is trying to talk shit to a dementia-ridden amnesia sufferer.
Sounds exactly like republicans.
I haven't heard of Musk being demented... Is this a thing? I just assumed it was the ketamine.
It’s not something that’s been reported, I’m just making the claim based on his absurd actions.
Stopped clocks, etc.
Eel on musk is completely correct.
The fact that he’s correct on this point does not make him a good person. He’s still an absolutely magnificent shitbag.
Remember trumps a pawn… the game doesn’t die with his demise. It barely changes at all.
The truth is probably far more dark and fucked up than trump and Epstein.
Don’t let the drama take away your vision of the full spectrum of americas situation.
The cult of personality behind Trump will shatter. And there will be cracks formed in the MAGA movement. New figureheads will try to take power and split the base.
They will still be racist republicans, but to say little will change is simply not true.
Watching them fight each other is the only moment of solace I get in the news these days. Don't take that away from me.
He's not going to change my view on anything.
With love, that speaks to a profound emptiness in our lives. We need something worth preserving.
I agree. It’s rotten at the core. T is a symptom, not the root cause. Something/someone else will take over once he dies. Things won’t get better.
I'm not so sure... Maybe a pawn that has made it to the other side of the board, but turns into a King instead of a Queen
The only thing trump has ever been successful at in his entire life is being a reality TV star. It's amazing that people don't understand that that's his role now, too. I guess he's also been successful at laundering Russian oligarch money, but that's his role now, too.
That crowd are fucking tens of thousands of children daily in ways other than those the pedos did to the young girls they preyed upon.
Two of the worst people in the world feuding is just magnificent.
it is theater
He just wants to be cool again.
That's not going to happen, but it's really gonna be fun watching them fight more while he tries.
I’m surprised how much faith you have in people’s critical thinking skills and short term memory.
I don't find it fun at all. It coukd easily lead to Trump consolidating his power
If he decides to really go after Musk ny stripping his citizenship, or taking away federal money, it'll send a strong message to the other oligarchs to fall in line
If that's going to happen, it will happen with or without this.
If he wants to do it this way he is welcome to.
As long as he doesn’t garner supporters and then flip them to some crazy shit.
He's not drawing any left support, but splitting the right who will be completely open to crazy shit
Yeah I agree. That’s good for the left. Split votes. What we really need is a third party that hates the rich and loves guns.
always funny to see and popcorn worthy!
mind that he was willing to do all this together until he couldn't get enough shit from mango mussolini for his
pocketscompanies. he can choke on a bag of dildos after he gets his nuremberg trial.if these people, all of them, including the Dems who capitulate, owners of the media companies that censor in their name and push their fascist agenda, all ICE employees, don't get their own nuremberg trials, and examples aren't made of them, the US might as well throw the towel and declare itself a lawless land and a failed state.
comeon Elmu, just put your money where the mouth is.
Tesla shares for everyone who brings/leaks hard evidence.
This dude practically bought votes for trump.
This is all bullshit theater unless he funds something.
Ew no money please. The only people who want Tesla shares are going to be worthless idiots.
I dunno, I'm almost out of toilet paper anyway
When was the year when they stopped issuing shares on paper?
Hey, now, don't ruin my joke.
(Also, 2013ish, depending on the company)
those are the ones he needs to convince
It doesn't matter.
If someone unearthed video of Trump raping an 11-year-old, Republicans would love him even more, his approval ratings would go up, leaders on the "religious right" would explain that it's all Biblical, and Trump would successfully sue for the profits from video sales.
I’d usually agree with this sentiment, but the MAGAsphere actually seems to be breaking with him on this one. The chuds are upset about this, and it might not go away so easily, especially now that he’s attacking his base over this.
Well one of the things that nobody seems to have considered is that Elon has a bot army, an AI, and Twitter he can turn against Trump.
In addition, and it may or may not be a coincidence, but he's not as buddy buddy with Putin as he once was.
I absolutely believe Putin is fueling this. President Vance is a collaborative agent for Peter Thiel and the Heritage Foundation. Heritage is a longtime Putin ally. The question is, will MAGA stop questioning their echo chamber after Trump is put out to rot? That is the gamble, and they are going for it.
Yeah, but liberals believe that Putin is behind everything, so that's not surprising
... because he has a ton of global influence??? He's former KGB, one of the greatest misinformation diseminators of history. If you don't believe that, you likely consume some of it.
Ok. That doesn't mean he's behind literally everything the way liberals make out. The KGB were second rate information manipulators compared to domestic US operations anyway.
You are making a strawman argument. I didn't say I am liberal, nor did I say Putin does everything. I said Putin is likely behind this, because Putin definitely has compromat on Trump. I also said he has global influence, which he does. These statements are obvious, supported by overwhelming evidence, and not so broad as your strawman
And you think the IDF isn’t committing genocide so nobody needs to care what you think.
Just because we think Putin is behind everything doesn't mean he's not behind this exact thing. The same way just because you're paranoid it doesn't mean you're not being followed
The chuds aren't going to do anything other than type away furiously. Same as the rest of us ...
I don't like the presumption of video sales for CSAM.
Edit: not a dig at you, but of the unpleasant viability of that statement.
If you truly believe this, you need to take a step back from one or more echo chambers, because you've lost touch with reality.
Trump waffling on the topic, without any 'hard' evidence, has already caused momentum in the opposite direction.
But it’s just performative resistance. They still vote to give him everything he wants every time without exception.
That's your assumption, not a fact. If hard evidence of Donald Trump literally raping a child was made public during his last campaign, I'd bet my life savings he wouldn't be President today.
That's my takeaway too. What are americans gonna do about it? Nothing. He'd just gain popularity and the church will like him more too because of their common interests

I hate musk, think he is a nazi, and will reject the world he creates. Glad he is taking this one on though. They deserve each other.
It's like watching two nasty creatures fight each other while you, who was going to be eaten by one of them, can get away, at least for a little bit. But if you had the ability, you stomp the fuck out of both of them.
I just watched whichever Jurassic Park has the spinosaur fighting the T-Rex, and this reminded me of it.
It's simply astounding the slop Americans will accept as "Journalism" nowadays.
So ABC "News" just straight up parrots the Trump administrations talking points as if they are objective facts. "Left Leaning" bias my asshole :(
And what is the "evidence" they use to back up this supposed fact, some lawyer hasn't seen it. As we all know, absence of evidence is evidence of absence. Good Job ABC, case closed.
Not to mention this lawyers story is full of holes.
First of all he claims to be representing Epstein's victims, but goes on to say that
Exsqueeze me? Admittedly I am not a lawyer, but what exactly would be the point of 'representing' the victims if they refuse to release the names of the people who assaulted them? Isn't the point to bring these people to justice? How would it benefit the victims in any way to not release the names? The only way that would make sense is if Edwards was only there to distribute hush money payments. Can anyone explain this to me?
Then he goes on to say
but later in the exact same article the writer says
Gee, its so weird how a guy who was a habitual child molester, who was friends with some very rich and powerful scumbags, who's partner was convicted of sex trafficking, and who was mysteriously able to accumulate "astounding wealth" is also clearly and unambiguously innocent of running a sex trafficking operation, because 'some guy said so'. If anyone read that sentence and thinks it sounds plausible please PM me, I just got some really nice bridges in famous cities and I'm willing to let them go for cheap.
Oh and here comes my favorite part:
Ok? Edwards let's say that it was a 'very small percentage', WHO FUCKING CARES?! I don't care if it was one person, that person should be named and prosecuted. For Fuck Sake saying he only did 'a little bit' of pimping out underage children for the wealthy to molest as if that excuses it or diminishes it in any way makes me want to puke.
Again, WHO THE FUCK CARES?! Why does this even need to be said? Even if we take what this clown is saying as absolute fact, that still means young women were being exploited and abused, and some % of them were underage. WHO WERE THE 'SELECT FEW' MEN? That is what we want to know, not hear excuses like "Well it was only a few men, and only some of the girls were underage". Get all the way the fuck out of here with that bullshit.
I'm not going to say it again. 🤮
The cameras in the bedrooms and the bathrooms were just there for the molesters safety and nothing else I'm sure.
Except that you and ABC have just spent an entire article regurgitating the Trump administrations excuses for not releasing them, so why in the fuck would they bother? But hey, now you can guys can pretend that you are for releasing the information even though you just gave them every excuse not to. Convenient.
There's more I could say but I'm getting sick just thinking about this crap. The whole damn thing is disgusting.
Yeah, I have to chuckle at lots of "wellaxetually" types that like to play the Enlightened Centrist (TM) that pop up nearly on any given forum to lecture the likes of me when I openly mock the notion of a "liberal media".
When I ask just where the fuck this supposed "liberal media" is, I usually get a lot of bafflegab that leads almost nowhere. Often they point to bullshit sites like that one that do nothing to consider the broader spectrum or ideas like Chomsky's where he has pointed out that very strident arguments tend to be allowed between a very narrow and confined range.
And so a website like Wonkette is ranked as "far left" by such types, LOL. When nothing on Wonkette comes even close to the far left, LOL. It's just that most of the media landscape is dominated by extremists like Faux, and set up as a contrast to the news outlets of megacorps and their values...which both have nearly the same exact values. The Faux wing of that "spectrum" just comes with more homophobia, transphobia, race-baiting, misogyny, etc...
Yeah, someone connected with this shit got to his pockets. I'm guessing very shortly after he was named as representative to the victims.
Elmo always knew he was a POS. The while time.
Elon's brother was like epstein's second-best friend.
Wasn't Ghislaine Maxwell setting up elons karate lessons too?
No wonder he never wanted to fight the Zuck; all his previous 'opponents' were pre-pubescent.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7t8xwpW8gJQ
There's pictures of him with Maxwell floating around that he's been trying really hard to erase, right? It wouldn't surprise me if he's on the list himself and feeling confident that he's not going to get fucked over because he knows there's too many powerful people who have no interest in ever seeing those files released around or because he and the Elonjugend just happened to get rid of any evidence that could implicate him.
Anyway, he's only doing this because he's mad that Trump doesn't want to play Tesla salesman anymore.
and nevertheless he used him for his own gain at our expense, and continues to use him to beef up his own image
We are watching the attempted ousting of a dictator in the world's most powerful country. But go on
And?
Fuck! Nail on the head with that comparison! It's literally like the worst white trash Nazi bullshit episode from Jerry Springer is currently squatting in the White House.
It's hilarious how obvious their falling out was going to be 6 months ago.
I'm surprised they lasted this long.
It's like modern wrestling all over again... 😞
wwe maybe (am curious when HH Helmseley has a wrestler come out and pick a side).
AEW (and CMLL and Stardom and NJPW) are not this shit. Hell, a few weeks back AEW had one of the biggest faces of the company come out in Arena Mexico and give a decent-ish Spanish promo about how his family owed so much to Mexican immigrant workers and how he learned so much from them and how we are better when we work together. The same night a different wrestler came out in an "Abolish ICE" shirt.
So don't drag wrestling down. It is basically just TKO (WWE+UFC) that still runs on redneck hate and bigotry
I thought they were referring to kayfabe? But I know nothing about wrestling.
"Kayfabe" is carnie speak for "scripted". And, like all writing, it is a reflection of the writers.
WWE has a long history of kayfabe bits that clearly reflect the views of those in power. Just look at all the times the rapist and sex trafficker forced female talent to kiss his ass in the ring or otherwise degrade themselves. Same with all the horrifically racist arcs (Triple H, the current savior of all of pro wrestling, had a ridiculously racist series of matches and promos against a black guy... that he won).
NJPW and CMLL have their own cultural weirdnesses that I can't fully comment on. But AEW... look, yes, it is owned by a billionare (and his father) in Florida and you gotta acknowledge that carnies gonna carnie. But it is well worth remembering that when a talent (Ricochet) started his historically incel bullshit and wanted to do an andrew tate character he was allegedly told to shut the fuck up and that character didn't last the week. And then you have people like Adam Page/Stephen Woltz, Brody King/Nathan Blauvelt, and Thunder Rosa/Melissa Cervantes who are all pretty openly left wing (arguably leftist) who were allowed to make political statements on live television and PPVs speaking to the plight of immigrants in trump's america.
Let alone the two biggest storylines in AEW being a millennial cowboy with imposter syndrome and alcoholic tendencies working through his problems with borderline live therapy versus toxic masculinity and a bi as fuck lunatic who had an entire year long storyline of fighting her ex in the most lesbian storyline ever put on mainstream TV.
Wrestline is a minefield. But pretending wrestling would entertain this shit is just normalizing WWE which people obviously need to watch because "Roman Reigns is the greatest story ever told and Cody Rhodes solved racism".
So with Trump and Musk, which is The Undertaker and which is Mankind?
Or are they BOTH The Undertaker and we’re all Mankind?
They are both the cage.
They're the broken tables.
Yes it is a cover up. Trump is a pedo who’s best friend was a pedo.
And this is being told to us by a drug addled, serial conman, with an insemination, but not actually breeding kink, who lies about his prowess in video games for attention and validation, and just released an interactive AI girlfriend/boyfriend simulator...
Who is also the richest man in the world.
Who paid for the person he is now mud slinging at, to become President.
...
We live in a fever dream, or fan fiction level attempt at a cyberpunk novel from the 80s.
Fuck it, maybe simulation theory is correct, and us running a whole bunch of AI bullshit inside of it is just actually collapsing the narrative generation capacity of the simulation.
Damnit.
I've now made the fever dream even more ludicrous.
I mean that's obvious, but it's a pretty shitty coverup if everyone knows it's being covered up. And that one name in particular is on the list.
One of the most useful and intentional products of an obvious and blundering conspiracy is the open demonstration that the participants are literally beyond the reach of reason or the law.
It promotes apathy, helplessness, and cynicism.
Basically getting people to ignore the government's actions all together?
That's pretty fucked up, but seems to go along with everything else
"Shitty" is just Trump's style, so that tracks.
He thinks if he can help bring down Trump Tesla stock will go up. Instead he can go down with him. Elite pos scumbags.
Elmo should understand that the Tesla stock drops because of him, not because of Trump.
You know what you’ve gotta do Elon. I’m cool with you walking if you spill the beans. You know you want to.
Agree. I doubt he signed any confidentiality paperwork.
Someone get me video when ICE comes for him!
No shit? Does he think we don’t know that?
It's more that because of elon's single-mindedness and pettiness that we can measure his effect on the platform and extrapolate that to other social media. So this would give us a good basis of measurement for the forced memes that big tech companies want us to spread when they aren't being so obvious.
“Epstein didnt kill himself“
Because i have seen the opposite state to much recently.
4 upvotes, no downvotes, removed by mod and banned. Huh.
Considering the shit that gets upvoted on Lemmy that's not saying much.
Yeah, I'm rather confident that bots are rampant on here. All the wrong news sites are constantly the ones that are upvoted the most. The bots don't care who you hate, just that you hate. It doesn't matter if it is leaders, minorities, businesses, other nations, or whatever.
The bots agenda is to make it harder for people to work together in unison. Create disruptions and lower the operational efficiency of other nations.
And I doubt the Lemmy devs will do anything to stop them. Fortunately, with other software like PieFed and mbin reaching maturity the Lemmy devs won't matter soon.
And.... what was posted?
I hate that removed posts get deleted, I'm filled with curiosity
Yeah. I mean I get that some posts are obvious scam/spam/hate but a brief description of the post by the people who posted before it was deleted would be appreciated. Otherwise it's just a tease
His face looks like it’s melting like that fish that melts when it’s brought to the surface. Couldn’t find it with a few searches. Anyone know what I’m talking about?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychrolutidae
Thank you!
Called the blobfish
Thank you!
Perhaps it’s some sort of meltfish.
Musk gets it here. Rare time recently.
Probably trying to distract from DOGE carving out the government.
