US Presidential Election 2024 - Here comes Agent Orange

Getting beaten here but also managing to stay out of prison is the best outcome for him really.

He really doesn’t strike me as a man who wants the role. Not this time. He just wants the immunity, the pardoning power, and the safety of the knowledge that they’ll most likely not jail a sitting, or probably ex president.

He should strike a bit of a detente

He’s like me, he’d rather be in the bar telling all the people about when he was president and what he’d do. Long 4 years for him if he wins at this hour of his life.

If Harris wins in a tight race, he might be able to strike a deal. She might agree to grant him a pardon/immunity if he agrees to fuck off and call it a day.

The thing of not even pretending he had a health care plan was a howl in the debate.

And you’d have lads getting all worked up over Simon Harris getting mixed up with the coronavirus numbers.

Trump is a total clown.

Worth reading this thread. Trump and Musk are all about the destruction of a what remains of a values and rules based world order and its replacement by a global mafia.

And this has been brewing for perhaps 25 years. Not some recent development, nor was he ‘radicalized by his own platform.’ This is a hostile takeover.

A scenario to consider, in face of a challenge: 'Vladimir Putin announces that Russia will nationalize Starlink, effective immediately. Musk agrees, ‘it’s the only way to preserve free speech.’" Just as one option.

And there’s a reason why he’s putting everything in Texas.

For those looking to understand “what happened,” two major factors: 1) his PayPal-era ideas about money, and replacing the Federal Reserve and dollar with BTC, 2) his involvement w/Dana Rohrabacher to privatize space assets. All this goes back 20-25 years. Not new.

The fact that this is mostly invisible to analysts speaks to a failure of imagination, which is caused in part by lack of awareness of the currents of Cold War intelligence conflicts, which led directly to this moment.

Put another way: when all you think about is institutions, all conflict is institutional.

The sad fact is that we may be past the point where USG has meaningful leverage over him. Cancel his contracts? Uh, sure… but how will we put anything into space?

The pro move is likely to indict him as a foreign agent, and then arrest him. But are our intelligence agencies and law enforcement too compromised already to do that? Why no statement from the DOJ or White House? What, sirs, is going on?

This may be the cause of some of our temerity. And the real issue is we don’t necessarily know the extent of existing capabilities or intentions — even as they may fall short of this level.

And we shouldn’t lend Putin power by fearing his nukes. That means taking bold, decisive action against people like Musk sooner than later — for the same reasons we shouldn’t be afraid Ukraine might defeat Russia decisively. It’s the same conflict, and we’re treating Musk like Jake Sullivan equivocates about Russia. Enough.

Also worth noting that this situation is only partly contingent on election outcomes. Musk is a threat now, he will continue be a threat if Harris wins, and he will be a massive threat if Trump wins. Election outcomes primarily determine velocity. To stop this, we have to act.

With his diet and weight…he’s a heart attack waiting to happen.

There’s that possibility, but they’ll know he’s also untrustworthy and has zero integrity, which would make him keeping his side of the bargain a huge gamble.

No one in their right mind would do such a deal with a massive narcissist who has proven to be completely untrustworthy. It would be nothing but a Democrat pr fiasco.

Few people seem to understand this. Israel understands it but doesn’t care.

That is a marvelous piece of double speak in fairness…. Guilting the Jews on the one hand and lovely little dog whistle to the anti-Semite conspiracy theorists on the other, all shrouded behind plausible deniability. Top notch messaging in fairness. Doesn’t get half the credit he deserves.

He’s one of the most gifted demagogues in history. He’s far more skilled at it than the Nazis were.

You only have to look at how the likes of Vance and De Santis flounder when they try to impersonate him.
