To confirm your identity...

Yeah, bullshit. This is to help train their facial recognition AI.

Failure by what metric? First off, he went in and destroyed everything he wanted to. He got the FAA to cancel their contract with Verizon and sign with Starlink for communication; He and DOGE gutted agencies that were supposed to regulate SpaceX, Neuralink, Tesla, and X; DoJ dropped a case agains SpaceX; and since he started his rampage, more than 40 agencies have taken no actions on investigations into his companies suggesting they are at least being slow walked if not dropped all together. The transportation department lowered requirements for Tesla and other companies to report incidents with self driving cars, and the FAA gave SpaceX permission to quintuple their number of launches despite the effect on the environment and air travel.

In what way was this a failure? Because Trump and his people hate him? Frankly, everyone hates Musk these days. Plus, I wear it as a badge of honor when the likes of Trump and his cronies hate me.

“When Elon Musk came to the White House asking me for help on all of his many subsidized projects, whether it’s electric cars that don’t drive long enough, driverless cars that crash, or rocketships to nowhere, without which subsidies he’d be worthless...

Seems like that should be a fine place to save some money then. Trump is basically admitting here that we are cutting school lunches, medicaid, and poverty programs while at the same time we are spending billions supporting failing businesses just so Musk can keep getting richer.

If a black guy was pulled over with that much cash, the cops would civil forfeiture it because it is obviously proceeds from drug dealing.

I trust they are now investigating her ties to the drug trade?

“I mean, you have Tim Walz, who is a huge jerk, running on stage with the Tesla stock price, where the stock price has gone in half—and he is overjoyed,” he said. “What an evil thing to do. What a creep, what a jerk. Like, who derives joy from that?”

We all derive joy from watching the villain get their just deserts.

They only wanted to show the first page of a three page warrant because it was unsigned.

I did love this part.

At the same time, an individual with a loudspeaker — unaffiliated with the federal agents — shouted that Espinoza did not have to open the door to them without a warrant signed by a judge.

"Do not talk to them if they do not have a warrant," the individual said.

Other people who had been following the federal agents with megaphones called them "kidnappers" and "terrorists" and began chanting the words "say it once, say it twice, we will not put up with ICE."

I love that there is a crowd following around the ICE agents with a megaphone informing people of their rights.

Following Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s resignation announcement on Monday, Trump claimed credit for the decision, saying that people in Canada “love” the idea of becoming a U.S. state. This prompted Ford to make his own comments about acquiring U.S. territories.

...snip...

Canadian MP Charlie Angus rejected the idea outright, pointing to differences in the nations’ laws. Angus stated on X that Canada has rules preventing “sexual abusers” from becoming leaders, a clear reference to allegations against Trump.

I would love to have seen Trump's face when he heard that rejection.

At the time, Carlson says, he was asleep in bed with his wife – and four dogs.

I have an alternate theory about those claw marks...

Let me be honest with you: I don’t like either party right now. My Republicans have forgotten the beauty of the free market, driven up deficits, and rejected election results. Democrats aren’t any better at dealing with deficits, and I worry about their local policies hurting our cities with increased crime.

Spoken like a true republican.

Democratic administrations are better with the economy than republican administrations in virtually every case for the last 75 years. Plus, don't forget that Clinton not only balanced the budget during his term, he left office with a projected budget surplus that Gee Dubya threw away with his tax cuts for the rich and unfunded wars.

As for crime, crime rates have been steadily dropping for decades and continued to drop under the Biden administration. In fact, violent crime rates are near a 50-year low!

That seems like a big deal. Proof that he knew this call was something he had to hide.

Oh dear gods... Please do not pull this "I'm going to work with the other side" nonsense. The republican party is morally bankrupt and it is no longer possible to reach across the aisle without pulling back a hand that's missing a ring, watch, or maybe some fingers. Just stop with this centrist bullshit!

Trump's doctor, Ronnie Jackson, said the bullet "produced a 2 cm wide wound that extended down to the cartilaginous surface of the ear." We are expected to believe that a 78 year old man completely healed a 2 cm (3/4 inch) wide ear wound, that went down to the cartilage, in less than two weeks.

These guys are lying through their teeth, again.
