I’m a bit schadenfreudy about Twitter shitting the bed during the interview with Trumpy. Of course, the right is blaming the demoncrats for causing Elon’s beautiful site to break-down. Whatever. LOLs all around. Someday Elon will figure out how to do a livestream from X. And someday Trump will find someone reputable to do another interview. Narrator: No they won’t. ---

Not sure if this is intentional or not but it certainly seemed that way to me. I have MSNBC on but the sound is muted because I generally hate commercials. However, a commercial caught my eye for some miracle cleaning product called Bull Shot. Yes, that is the actual name. In the commercial they show this product in action, taking care of various stains caused by various spills. One such spill is depicted as being between the cushions of a couch. ---

Sounds likely, but why and how did Epstein’s plane end up with tanTrump, and not any other? Who gave it to him under which conditions and what does he expect in return? Or has that person used the bugs that Epstein had installed? Is that information an end and interesting enough in itself? He would lie even talking to his coke light, he would lie in his sleep, he would lie even with no one else present in the plane and kompromat is not in scarce supply. It’s probably rather corruption or blackmail, his plans are not convoluted or subtle. ---

The article sets out the rather roundabout route the plane’s ownership took. I don’t see how the Trump campaign could have deliberately ended up with that plane (which - to be clear - is not the “Lolita Express” one, which has been destroyed) nor why they would want to, so either this is just God’s little joke or there’s more to the story. Either way, it’s a bit of a laugh. ---
