Elon Musk’s next target is your finances. The government may say no.
Lawmakers warn that Musk could face scrutiny if he pushes ahead with plans to turn the social media giant formerly known as Twitter into a financial services provider.

Those apps and sites that pretend to tell you what the air quality is like in your area--well around here they're usually wrong. If they say the air is GOOD...it's really, really bad. Right now it's toxic outside, here.Yellow, unbreathable. But they say...GOOD! Compared to what? The planet Neptune?
Yes they DO think Jesus is too woke. Not all evangelicals take this attitude. But there's a MAGA faction of Christians. Some are saying, "We need to get more Old Testament"--others say no, because that's so...Jewish
Evangelicals Are Now Rejecting JESUS as TOO LIBERAL (not a joke! Not The Onion!)
"Multiple pastors tell me, essentially, the same story about quoting the Sermon on the Mount and...'Where did you get those liberal talking points?'"
"When the pastor would say, 'I'm literally quoting Jesus Christ' ... The response would be, 'Yes, but that doesn't work anymore.' "When we get to the point where the teachings of Jesus himself are seen as subversive to us, we're in a crisis."

‘Come Here, Big Tits’: Rudy Giuliani’s Sex Abuse Accuser Has the Tapes
She alleged Giuliani forced her to have oral sex and intercourse with him, in addition to making sexist, racist, drunken, and antisemitic remarks
"These breasts belong to me. Nobody else can get near these, OK? I don’t care if they’re flirting or they give you business cards. These are mine, you got it?”

From the article: "He would not say how much he had lent Justice Thomas, how much the justice had repaid and whether any of the debt had been forgiven or otherwise discharged. He declined to provide The Times with a copy of a loan agreement — or even say if one existed. Nor would he share the basic terms of the loan, such as what, if any, interest rate had been charged or whether Justice Thomas had adhered to an agreed-upon repayment schedule."
nostr:npub1lrvmc88ck63qpt734w85t5pnxchncvam0p9k9mueuezqz0grkn6s8jtth9 He said Thomas had repaid it. It's some years ago maybe that's why they don't have the paperback--OR, something's being covered up. I'm just as suspicious as you are, really. I'm convinced that Thomas has done some quid pro quo SCOTUS voting.
The rank corruption of Clarence Thomas continues to be exposed, one sleazy item at a time.
How are we learning about this? Not from law enforcement or others who have subpoena power (e.g. Congress), but by journalists.
Latest example, from the NY Times. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/05/us/clarence-thomas-rv-anthony-welters.html?action=click&module=Well&pgtype=Homepage§ion=US%20News
nostr:npub1lrvmc88ck63qpt734w85t5pnxchncvam0p9k9mueuezqz0grkn6s8jtth9 Theoretically there's nothing wrong with getting a loan from a friend, and he repaid it after 9 years, but ...he didn't REPORT it. Other things he's gotten away with are more suspect--likely to be basically bribes... Yes I think he needs to be subpoenaed.

But the general opinion of Secret Service agents, asked independently, seems to be that the service could still do their job in a prison. The assignment, having to hang around in a prison all day, would be super unpopular with agents! But it could be done. I want to see him in prison. Home confinement wouldn't be enough for me.
nostr:npub18kne9vvc5y5f66xt20csfcdzqeqqkczfcnazm5utynrhrpw6sa5sg2dm0v Secret Service protection isn’t guaranteed in the Constitution. For all those orientalists, they should change the law.
nostr:npub1xpcqmx422lf6cm6nzup53vfsfvyz7pjfarwdklj3apxaggjtdqmqg03t05 originalists, you mean? Anyway the law provides for it. No matter where he is.
[I've been wondering about this for a couple years.]
If Trump is convicted, Secret Service protection may be obstacle to imprisonment
[however: ]
"Current and former agents said Trump’s detail would coordinate their protection work with the Federal Bureau of Prisons to ensure there was no conflict about duties or about how they would handle emergencies, as well as the former president’s routine movements in a prison"

The thing about CTHULHU that's under appreciated is--how good he would taste as seafood. Some of his tentacles were actually cut off in a fight and they were *delicious*. The People's Republic of China folks, with their love for exotic meats, are trying to catch Cthulhu to use for a huge seafood feast. And I do not blame them. Really. Cthulhu? Yes.
Delicious.
