"OK, so, I want a Honda Civic, but for up and down instead of forwards and backwards."

....something something Big Brother.

Funny how it had to happen in that order.

I will bet you all $5 in gringo money that she had a split-second moment of clarity about how she is absolutely going to hell when she shuffles off this mortal coil, had a panic attack, and just needs a way to blame immigrants for it once she regained her normal line of corrupt and abhorrent thought.

Recipe for nachos:

Pile up chips, other stuff from around the house, and cheese, in that order.

Hot until cheese looks yum.

Apply: Red and hopefully spicy, green, or white toppings.

Scarf.

I 100% agree with you about Clearview and Palantir. Really, 1,000%.

Putin, on the other hand, has passed his peak unless he's gong to get the nukes out. His potential at this point is simply how much longer he is around to keep perpetuating his "3 day war." Which is not nothing. The guy needs to go the fuck away, and the US justification for using nukes in Japan was that forcing a surrender via attack against civilian targets prevented a years-long slog and invasion. Well, here we are again. Justify whatever is needed to ensure he falls out a window one day this week. The power vacuum without Prighozin around is just going to revert to 1992 style robber barons anyway. It always would. There's never been an alternative to that.

Wait....what?

"Domain, Kingdom, Phy- oh no! Kevin is right there! OK, I should ask before I forget."

Because they want to make site that journalists and advocacy groups still have ways where 200 randos on Twitter can do the dirty work for them.

Y'all, the last thing the suckers who will buy this want is some Nanny State telling them they can't buy this.

It's a stupid fake phone. Let them buy it. Who cares? If not this, the grifters already have 700 other things lined up behind it. Let them pay for our schadenfreude, as they have done so many times before.

Yeah, this is a big part of how all the broligarchy tech guys got involved with the campaign. Once the schism over social media and who controlled where you can say what started 2017-2020, there was push for and investment in full tech stacks down to full data centers controlled by Trump Media. For them, they see this as already appealing to the same captive audience they already extort daily for "donations." Gab, MeWe, Rumble, TruthSocial, Parler, and a dozen other smaller platforms formed to try and pick at a market they hoped would be big enough to leech from for decades and not let just Zuck have all the access.

These same people on the tech side had been pushing for crypto since its inception as a new economic system. Its part of why Peter Thiel added a whole crypto wallet to Brave browser. Which is why the Trump meme coin is on the Solana blockchain, it's the same kind of guy they got wrapped up with, that also wants to have Network States where the wealthy can be super-citizens. So their solution to everything, being ultra-wealthy people detached from reality, is to just build compete infrastructure from the ground up to suit themselves and be maximally insulated from criminal prosecution, including financial platforms, while enjoying all the amenities of living in a country built by millions of hardworking Americans.

As a daily Linux user... Yeah.
