> [@eschereal](#): > > «цотеж» ? Not a word, TBMK. FWIW, it looks more like «щотбж» to me, which the google claims means “whatever”. I don’t think it’s actually a word in Cyrillic, either, but I do think the bot may not have received its primary education in English. ---

That’s dismaying. I’ve been thinking that Trump’s money woes were the most likely thing to do him in. ---

OK, here’s a potential future scenario that would make me laugh: - Musk ponies up $500 million so that Trump can appeal his civil lawsuits without paying - Trump loses appeals and the $500 million goes to NY State and Carroll - Trump refuses to pay Musk back, leading to: - Musk has to sell Twitter at fire sale price - Trump loses election - Trump is convicted in criminal court and goes to jail Roll Credits ---

If he had to sell the car company as well, maybe the new owner would be able to use more than 18% of their brain to run it properly. ---

(For the latter, read: thousands of Democratic-identified people convicted of bogus crimes and relegated to labor camps.) Heck, a lawless President could find dozens of things to do for Musk that Musk would find to be worth a lot more than $500 million. . . > [@abcdefghij](#): > > I don’t think it’s actually a word in Cyrillic, either, but I do think the bot may not have received its primary education in English. Yeah. We’re likely to see Cyrillic touches on a very large proportion of election propaganda in coming months. Vlad will be doing all he can to get his poodle into the Presidency again. ---
