“People never lie so much as after a hunt, during a war or before an election.”

Schadenfreude watch. Ha ha ha. Musk is going to lose billions, or perhaps the losses will accrue to the Saudis and Chinese investors who own his ass.
You know, other than those fired Twitter execs crying all the way to the bank, the real winners are the law firms, Wachtell and Skadden Arps. Wachtell looks spectacular because of the complete and total victory, abetted by Musk casually agreeing to a no-diligence deal (his M&A lawyers must be shitting their pants over that one). Skadden Arps got to show the world how far they will go in service of the second-worst client* on earth after Trump.
*Note: Musk may actually be the best client on earth, as opposed to the second-worst, depending on how quickly he pays his legal fees.
There is a tiny possibility there might be more to this story than meets the eye?
Elon Musk reportedly exposed himself to a flight attendant and offered to buy her a horse
There you go again worry about other peoples sex organs.
There you go again. Going under a different username, but not fooling anyone.
The gist of the post bounced right off your tin foil hat, didn’t it?
I checked out Twitter for the first time since Musk bought it. It seems more cutesy , more infotainment-focused – more baby animal feeds, and human-interest rabbit holes to dive down, and the political threads have a definite slant.
For example, the Brittany Greiner thread had NO supporters of Greiner – only people whining about how she shouldn't complain because Whelan's been captive longer, she committed a crime and has to do the time, etc.
On the other hand, the thread searching "election intimidation Arizona" had fact-based results.
If Twitter's priority now is truly just to make money, it will get boring quickly. What most people like about it is the chaotic immediacy of the platform. If all of that is filtered out, it will be a loss. And if it is filtered out, but exhortations to violence are not filtered, it will be a net loss for democracy.
"Thar were only seven Democrats in
Hinsdale County and you ate five of them!"
The fictional quote is more disinformation, to disadvantage the cannibal community. Stop the HATE!
Stop the STEAL!
Wrong, Pear.
Right:
“Thar was only seven Dimmycrats in Hinsdale County and you, you voracious, man-eatin’, son of a bitch, you et five of ’em. I sentence you to hang by the neck until you are dead, dead, dead, for reducin’ the Dimmycratic population of this state. “
That's how I've always heard it, V. My brother went to C.U. where Packer is celebrated.
The Littleton Elks club has Alfred Packer rib night.
I used to volunteer in the Western Colorado Historical Museum. At that time, they were in possession of the gun collection of Aubrey Thrailkill, which contained Alfies' gun. Your citation is right.
Kudos to Pence…(Fat Donnie and the MAGAt machine will eat him alive)
Trump Joins Right-Wing Pile-On Of Paul Pelosi Conspiracy Theories
Given Negev was posting links to SMO over the weekend this may be of interest to some:
The dubious history of the Santa Monica Observer, the outlet behind that false Paul Pelosi story
Unfortunately, the fullest extent of the law is suspect in CA.
Can we assume that being rooted in your ardent pro-life beliefs, “fullest extent of the law” means the death penalty?
Bet your booties granny.
That was a rhetorical question, but your answer was not surprising.
He also loves preserving the rights of mass shooters to kill children in their schools. Loves watching it happen too.
Yes, I'm sure you're a true legal expert, PP. Where did you get your law degree again?
Trump University.
Pence is fundamentally a decent man. Must be hell trying to stay relevant in the Republican party while holding on to your moral center.
You never like Pence.
I disagree with Mike Pence on many things. But I respect his integrity and sense of personal honor. I have no such respect for the narcissistic whoremonger Donald Trump.
Duke and Pete…you both might recognize some names from this thread. This is what we're up against. Unfortunately these campaigns prey on weak minds and ideological sheep (you know who you are):
There was a light plane towing a banner that said "Heidi" over the I25 corridor today. There were other words on the banner, but too small to read.
What a waste….is she thinking that her name recognition is so great that people will see this banner in the sky, and connect it to her race for Governor?
There is another "Heidi" running for HD31. Her signs even look like Ganahl's. Way to throw away thousands of dollars.
It’s National Aviation Month and a great time to celebrate women pilots. My flight instructor, who gave me my wings in 1978, is still with us at 101 years of age. No longer flying but she’s still a spit fire!
Here’s a great story on the first female African-American pilot:
