Drill Baby Drill...the US Politics Thread (Part 3)

:grimacing:

The X account of the ā€œSesame Streetā€ character Elmo posted a slew of antisemitic and anti-Donald Trump comments Sunday afternoon after getting hacked.

The hacked account, which has over 600,000 followers, called for violence against Jews and said that President Trump is a ā€œpuppetā€ of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and ā€œis in the Epstein files,ā€ according to screenshots of the hacking. The posts have been taken down.

Shame about the violence comments, the rest could have stayed up.

It wasn’t hacked. There is leaked video from just before the tweets got posted.

Infantino sucking him off

I wonder how many Saudi bugs are embedded in that trophy? :joy:

Trumps penchant for shiny gold things is so laughable… it’s like he’s a king from the 16th century or something.

I think this is a story with potential for people to miss the point given the current feelings. This was Biden’s ICE who initiated the detention rather than simply expediting his removal. They are at their core a blood thirsty organization, but also an incompetent one. Possibly due to callous disregard for the subhumans they view who are under their control. But this is who ICE is. This is not a Trump problem. It is an ICE problem. This is where the calls to abolish ICE come from. It is not about eliminating enforcement of immigration laws, but of getting rid of a rogue agency and returning those responsibilities to CBP or somewhere else within DHS.

Time to revisit the freakout over Biden’s protective pardons

These people need to get the fuck out of that shithole before the MAGA fatwa gets them killed.

So if a pardon can be totally ignored, does that mean Trump is still fair game after this term?

He isnt ignoring the pardon but making the claim it is legally invalid. And Trump’s protection comes not from a pardon, but a Supreme Court who have bent over backwards to carve out protections for him.

In the Epstein File debate… and seeing now how Trump operates to pick up a dollar, got me to thinking that he is probably strong arming everyone that is in the files/list, to collect the blackmail spondoolies for himself for as long as possible…
Someone somewhere, will have lots more detail about the events… only a matter of time before some of the pieces become known…

Surely people in the Biden administration were aware of who was implicated. It seems very likely that Bill Clinton was on the list, and there may have been other leading Democrats.
It would be great if it were leaked or if Maxwell talks.

There is not a secret list just waiting to be exposed. We already know an enormous amount of information from the already public filings of his various legal cases, and of course as a high profile celeb adjacent guy there is also a load of information about who he palled around with. The fact all this is already public is why so many people have had to answer for their association with him.

The fact these things are never as interesting as the conspiracy theories though means the conspiracists see that difference as there being more that is being hidden…a ā€œprofessor mustard in the library with a candlestickā€ sort of archiving of the exploits of his partners in crimes. As with most conspiracy theories the absence of evidence is taken as validation of the conspiracy making impossible to ever knock it away.

Aka conspiracy theorists are usually deplorables.

Academic freedom is not the same as deplorables’ freedom.
