American political “leadership” would do well to reconsider its aversion to prosecuting and punishing the powerful. Treason, for example, really shouldn’t be shrugged off. Or am I just being dogmatic?

Here's the deal on those suckers who got burned by Trump, not just on crypto meme coins, but on ever scam he ever ran.

Good on them, I would wish them into bankruptcy by heavily investing in and buying everything Trump.

They deserve it

No pity here.

It was H.L..Mencken who said, "..No one has ever lost money or public office by underestimating the intelligence of the public"

But really sad for our spies and assets overseas who got burned by tRump.

Trump is the first president to be manifestly guilty of treason. But you cannot play both ends against the middle without causing a crash. Economists are debating when, not if, the Trump recession will arrive.

Historically, everything Trump touches turns to shit. His family, his love life, his empire, his deals, the entire federal government, the global economy - they all turn to shit eventually. Luckily, Donny has Vlad to bail him out by laundering Russian oligarch money. Vlad and Don Dementiano thought the Diesel Deal would force Ukraine to surrender. However, as I noted in my own news yesterday, economists laughed because RU no longer has the capacity to produce much Diesel. Zelensky blew it all up. One economist estimated that RU could supply about an hour a day of world demand. Thus, the impact on the EU and USA economy will be trivial, and on prices, trivialerer [sic].

The Muskrat: Election Interference Gets Deeper

An ex former Twitter employee divulged a trove of information(bit.ly/4dyOZBn) about how the Muskrat actively interfered in the 2024 election. Ashley St Clair, mother of one of many Muskrat children and offered $40m to keep her mouth shut, came out last year with how the Muskrat made statements to her about his sureness of the election outcome. But this is nothing compared to what a whistleblower is divulging.

“We completely changed how the algorithm worked, pushing pro-Trump and right-wing posts to the top of people’s feeds.”

“One of the most disturbing things we did was create thousands of fake accounts using advanced AI systems called Grok and Eliza.”

And then came the allegation involving foreign governments: “We also knowingly allowed foreign governments to manipulate the platform.” The author specifically identified state-backed groups from Russia, Iran and Israel, alleging that their influence operations were permitted to continue because their objectives aligned with Musk’s agenda.

“One team would write completely fake articles, while another team would artificially boost their engagement metrics to make them go viral.” The author then described something even more specific: “We specifically targeted certain groups of people, knowing exactly how to manipulate their views and emotions.”

The Muskrat is back in the Black House conniving with Cheeto.

Every Republican connection to a foreign power to sabotage our elections, support Russia’s war against Ukraine and harm other allies has the stench and blood of High Treason throughout.

There is a long, long list of serious crimes tRump has committed, which would have tanked or even imprisoned any president before (even Republicons). What is truly astounding is not so much the list, but that he gets away with it.

Yes and I've questioned through sources about 2024 election interference strategies and the seeming consensus of people who do election surveillance for a living was there was not enough evidence to make a case. The This Will Hold substack channel from where the above article comes from on Musk has lots of material on the subject which makes a good case for interference.

There may not be evidence of interference with the vote or fraud in the counting. But we do have plenty of concrete evidence that over 3 million voters were purged from the voting rolls in the 6 months leading up to the election, a large portion in swing state, and serious analyses show clearly that the majority were Black or Democratic areas, and Kamala would have won otherwise. Problem is, you can't sue about votes that you say would have voted for....

Experts on election interference have failed the fact finding of investigative reporting with dismissals of no concrete evidence. While it may be true that concrete evidence is lacking there is a large body of circumstantial evidence that is supportive and the TWH cited article is part of it

Just curious, which RW sites have "shadow banned" you. And what does the term mean? I'm a geezer in my late 80s and life long liberal and I can't keep up with the modern Internet nomenclature.

imhumanru's avatar

When you try to make a comment on a site, and it never shows up in the comments, you've most likely been shadow banned. Banned, but not told about it.

Ok, thanks for the info.

An AI smarter than humans (maybe even the ones now) will have no trouble evading any kill switch we try to put in place.

Questioin: If a prosecution were to convict Stinky of treason, which is what these actions are, would the Congress flunkies who went along with it and enabled him also be guilty of treason?

Trump’s Billion Dollar Russian Payday Only Cashes If Ukraine Surrenders. Now You Know Why He’s Threatening Kyiv.

Putin dangled $80 billion in business to Witkoff and Kushner. The price was Ukraine’s surrender. Trump is trying to deliver it. Inside the greatest betrayal in America’s history.
