I’ve been encouraging everyone to treat this as the wacko conspiracy theory that it probably is, but hear me out.

MTG is one of the least credible people in the US Government right now and everyone knows it. She lies her ass off constantly. This is the woman that heard there was a wildfire burning in California and then went straight onto the national news to tell everyone that the Jews did it with their orbital lasers.

What better person to destroy all credibility of the Epstien files? Everyone keeps talking about them and won’t stop, so let’s “solve” this by siccing our attack liar on it. Even if MTG came right out and read the files on live TV word for word it won’t, and indeed can’t, be trusted by anyone. She’s the one person on the red team that they can safely let spout off about this without anyone taking her seriously. No other Republican will touch it with a ten foot pole, and everyone else talking about it are Democrats.

I honestly believe this is engineered to have the least amount of credibility possible while still technically “doing something” about the situation.

Previous presidents’ war crimes didn’t crash the entire global economy. Want people to care? Fuck with their money.

This gives me a 404.

I should probably be thankful for this.

Of which, roughly speaking about 23% are under 18 and school-aged if census.gov is to be trusted

Around $40 per student could still do an incredible amount of good across our national school system. A given school’s graduating class might range anywhere from 50-2,000 students and you’ll have 3-4 of those per school. That’s potentially $320,000 for a single large school by this napkin math assuming those funds are distributed perfectly evenly according to student population. If put to more strategic use this could be an incredible boon to lower income schools in many, many areas.

I have a few guesses. Though they are just guesses.

• not rich enough
• didn’t go to country clubs and golf meets to play politics
• was independently sourcing his own pedophilia (which if I recall I think was the case, wasn’t it? He wasn’t in with Epstein and the Boys, he was doing his own thing. They don’t have to cover for him)

I expect some combination of any or all of the above would end up with him in court and nobody really coming to back him up.

I don’t see Alaska facing these problems.

All it takes is for one determined furry to pull up their programming socks and hack into Truth Social and start posting under Trump’s name and we’ll see that dry up real quick, unless he wants to make all his official announcements surrounded by uwu’s and lewd pictures of Pokémon.

Dollars to donuts it’s going to be stupid easy to do as well, because Trump is incapable of hiring competent employees or of paying whoever he does hire.

Ding ding ding, winner!

Thing is, he’s absolutely right. It’s way beyond past time to create a powerful political third party in the US that genuinely represents the interest of the people.

Elon Musk, however, should not be allowed anywhere within brick throwing distance of it.

Nor should most anyone else who is actually capable of funding it. Herein lies our actual problem.

and doesnt really bother anyone?

Don’t they threaten to fire missiles at America like, weekly?

And try and fail to do it once every six months or so, I feel like I’ve been hearing about failed North Korean missile launches or tests with some regularity since like 2000.

Insulin manufacturers?

Hmm… Sounds blatantly illegal.

Put it on the pile, I guess.

Yeah, that’s what you do when your sales are shot, you downsize. I can’t be mad at them shuttering studios that they literally can’t afford to keep open, what else are they expected to do?

I have an issue with it when companies report record profits and then cut everyone, Devolver didn’t do this.

• Conservatives are doing [X]

• They pre-emptively go on TV and loudly blame democrats for [X] before it becomes a major story

• When it comes to light that [X] is in fact happening the public is already primed to blame their opponents for it

It’s the sort of thing a 5 year old might do to try and blame the cat for a broken cookie jar, it’s baby’s first con, it’s stupendously obvious what’s going on, but, here we are.

I have never, ever in my entire life aspired to any sort of political office. I figured I wasn’t well suited to that, I don’t have a law degree, it’s just not for me.

These days that opinion is now “well I couldn’t possibly do a worse job than the ones actually getting elected for this”, so…

Fuck around, and y’all might catch me running for local office soon.

I fix cars at a big retail chain and yep. There’s instant verification now where in order to accept it we have to punch all the info into some service on the POS computer to make sure the check clears, but if it does, yeah we take those. Money is money. Checks are still issued and cashed by banks so we still take em.

Yeah it feels like that’s getting glossed over but that’s a really fucking big deal.

For those unaware, habeas corpus (from Medieval Latin, lit. ‘you should have the body’, basically ‘bring us this guy’) is a legal procedure that exists in basically every legitimate government anywhere, not just American, which effectively states that if you’ve been wrongly imprisoned then your lawyer can call to have you moved from prison to a courtroom to determine whether your detainment is lawful. Basically saying you can’t just be thrown in a dungeon to be forgotten about because someone can force the court to retrieve you and give you a court date. I’m not a legal expert so read it for yourself to get a good understanding.

At any rate, someone recommending suspending habeas corpus is never up to any good, it is always 100% bad without exception, always. Even saying those three words together should be instant political suicide and should be grounds for disbarment. Successfully suspending habeas corpus with your rubber stamp and signature should be subject to execution. Any judge who accepts that it is suspended is unfit for their position.

How come this is the first time we’re hearing from her, then?

Bernie Sanders has been out on the trail since January, circling the country telling everyone that Trump is a dangerous criminal. Where was Murkowski at? Not there, that’s for sure. Not running her own version of the same. She backed and approved every single Trump cabinet appointee except for Hegseth.

Forgive me if I’m not impressed.

I’ve seen more competent cabinets in an ikea
