    She’s a comically worthless liar who deserves to get shipped off to Siberia. Go tell some Russians living out in the Siberian wilderness all of your lies about being assaulted. I do not believe a single word she says about any of that.

    I’m willing to give her credit on this as she didn’t pull her name. She also didn’t take Trump’s phone call apparently.

  2. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent hints at income limit on Trump's $2,000 tariff checks

    Quote

    Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent revealed that the Trump administration has discussed restricting the president’s proposed $2,000 tariff dividend to families making less than six figures.

    “Well, there are a lot of options here that the president’s talking about a $2,000 rebate and those — that would be for families making less than, say, $100,000,” Bessent told “Fox & Friends” Wednesday. “We haven’t,” Bessent clarified when asked if the Trump administration decided on that limit. “It’s in discussion.”

    Remember- the problem for Trump and the GOP is that this is THEIR baby. 

    They are the ones who campaigned on this all throughout 2024.

    ....

    Democrats say “heeyyy….maybe releasing these files isn’t a bad idea!”

    And guess what? MAGA AGREES!

    The Democrats didn’t a great job just applying gentle pressure, simply saying “Release the Epstein Files” as a retort to any idiotic thing MAGA reps said.

    Now the GOP is stuck in a trap of their own creation, and cannot make it go away.

    Glorious.

    According to Business Insider, the company Atreyd has sent a "drone wall" to Ukraine for testing, designed to intercept Shaheds and KABs. Thanks to AI, a single operator can control a hundred drones simultaneously. Production is already established in France and Ukraine, and the system is expected to become operational within a few weeks.

    Epstein discharge petition secures final signature needed to force House vote on releasing files - CBS News

    Quote

     An effort to force a House vote on compelling the Justice Department to release materials related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein secured the final signature it needed Wednesday after House Speaker Mike Johnson delayed the swearing-in of a newly elected Democrat for seven weeks. 

    The effort, known as a discharge petition, defies House GOP leaders, who have opposed putting legislation backed by Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna of California and Republican Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky on the floor. Khanna and Massie introduced the measure, titled the Epstein Files Transparency Act, in July as pressure intensified on the Trump administration to release more Epstein-related files.

    Quote

    All House Democrats and four Republicans have added their names. Besides Massie, GOP Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, Nancy Mace of South Carolina and Lauren Boebert of Colorado have signed on. Two special elections in Virginia and Arizona in September provided the final two signatures from Democrats to reach the 218 threshold. 

    Rep. Adelita Grijalva, who was elected on Sept. 23 to fill the seat of her late father Raul, added her name to the petition on Wednesday, shortly after she was sworn in. She pointed to Epstein survivors in the House gallery who she said were present for her swearing-in.

    Thomas Massie, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Nancy Mace, and Lauren Boebert, you weren't the heroes we deserved, but you were the heroes we needed.

    Today, the Russian Ministry of Finance sold 1.855 trillion rubles worth of bonds. Tomorrow, 450 billion rubles worth of bonds are due. Net growth in turnover over these days is +1.455 trillion rubles. Growth in turnover since the beginning of the year is +5,872 billion rubles.

    Who is buying those bonds, or is anybody, and with what money?

    So buying you drinks was the wrong move. Got it.

    Take me to a club where Depeche Mode or Erasue is playing and we'll talk.

    And circling back to the OP, wonder how many of these guys go to places where people hang out socially.

    If she did not remove her name from the petition, whatever it is wasn’t enough.

    Or it's a lot nastier than jerking your date off at a Beetle Juice musical and she wants nothing to do with it.

    And it's extremely telling that they are leaning on Boebert of all people.  Must be some really serious shit.

    You could read quite a bit into that.

    This is going to be the peak of whatever power she has as a politician.  I'm wondering what they promised her.

    At least she's not ranting that it's a hoax?

    Being middle-aged, there is nothing worse than wanting to get out of the house by myself, and head to a bar, and just hang out, and some other middle-aged guy comes up and starts asking me about whatever I'm watching on the bar TVs or what I think is good on the menu. 

    And I'm not going to answer shit unless he starts buying me drinks.

     

  11. What if you build up a massive network that can generate and propagate AI stories on a whim?

    $PZZA Gate: Papa Johns Stock Soars On Fake Buyout News - HUNTERBROOK

    $PZZA Gate, Part 2: The Network Behind Fake Papa Johns News  - HUNTERBROOK

    Quote

    On Monday, Hunterbrook broke the news of a scheme using fake news distribution websites to spread false reports of a Papa Johns acquisition, which sent the share price flying. After our investigation was published, outlets that had picked up the spoofed report — including Bloomberg and Barron’s — walked back their reporting. A source close to Papa Johns also confirmed the rumors were indeed a hoax, with $PZZA’s share price giving up most of its gains.

    Now, with website data, IP addresses, and social media accounts, Hunterbrook has tied the apparent market disinformation scheme to a website network operated out of Dubai by U.K. nationals. What is still unknown: Who profited from the pump?

    It's a deep-dive into IP addresses, emails, time stamps, images, etc.

    The additional angle is that if people do not have smart phones, then they can’t use them to coordinate protests against the government or to organize in any way because they are seriously pissed that the war is going on and has led to all of their cell phones being useless and to not having Internet access at home for work or socializing.

    Which also ties into Putin last week starting to mobilize reserves across 20 regions, reserves that he had not mobilized before now, and that would probably generate a lot of protests. Ostensibly it is in a "support" role and they are not supposed to be sent to Ukraine, but the order he signed had some leeway in it.  Even if they use them to free up active-duty troops who are within Russia proper (logistics, support, guarding facilities, etc.), the people they are calling up are people that are probably productive members of society (educated, experienced professionals, etc.).

    I believe he said the president and most of the senior administration are dead.

    Remember there are 2 Air Force Ones. Diabete is likely rolling in the alternate and the primary went down with all onboard. 

    Yeah, he said something like that, and my thought was they were in a plane crash.

    Nancy Mace has gone all in on bashing the files, and some are saying she's pulled her signature.
