Will Georgia case against Trump end up in federal court?
Former President Donald Trump now stands indicted in Fulton County Superior Court, but that does not necessarily mean he will be tried there.
It better fucking not! The Feds won't televise the trial (cowards). The Peach State will. We've all earned what is sure to be, Top Shelf Content. The OJ Trial will look like traffic court in comparison.

Rudy Giuliani made desperate appeal to Trump to pay his legal bills in Mar-a-Lago meeting
With his attorney in tow, Rudy Giuliani traveled to Mar-a-Lago in recent months on a mission to make a personal and desperate appeal to former President Donald Trump to pay his legal bills. By going in person, a source familiar with the matter told CNN, Giuliani and his lawyer Robert Costello believed they could explain face-to-face why Trump needed to assist his former attorney with his ballooning legal bills.
Giuliani and Costello traveled to Florida in late April where they had two meetings with Trump to discuss Giuliani’s seven-figure legal fees, making several pitches about how paying Giuliani’s bills was ultimately in Trump’s best interest.
But the former president, who is notoriously strict about dipping into his own coffers, didn’t seem very interested. After Costello made his pitch, Trump verbally agreed to help with some of Giuliani’s legal bills without committing to any specific amount or timeline.
Trump also agreed to stop by two fundraisers for Giuliani, a separate source said.

Two brands suspend advertising on X after their ads appeared next to pro-Nazi content
At least two brands have said they will suspend advertising on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, after their ads and those of other companies were run on an account promoting fascism. The issue came less than a week after X CEO Linda Yaccarino publicly affirmed the company’s commitment to brand safety for advertisers.

You know. I was initially disappointed that I would never get to see Donald make Rhonda Santis cry at a debate. But I was wrong. Watching this fraud get absolutely ass-blasted by the B-Team will be even funnier.

For me, this memo leaking is like getting a little peak at my presents as a kid the week before Christmas.
LOL. This prick has been doing a bad Trump impression for 5 years....but he simply does not have the juice. Like he knows all the lyrics, but he can't carry the tune.
Or as John Candy said in JFK: "he's got the right ta-ta, but the wrong ho-ho"
Also, imagine losing to a Hindu guy named Vivek in the Republican Party. LMAO!

Elon Musk Says X (aka Twitter) Will No Longer Let You Block Other Users
Elon Musk's latest tweak to X (formerly Twitter): Users will no longer be able to block other accounts -- claiming that the feature "makes no sense."
One day there will be a movie about the rise and fall of Twitter/X. I propose the working title should be ‘How to Lose $44 Billion‘
The thing with blocking is similar to what reddit does, ends up being abused by bullies. They call out you for any lie they can think of, block you, you cannot reply back defending yourself, and their followers automatically believe them and will never read about this lie, unless you also abuse the system and create a fake account just to reply... nah... that's why I stick with forums, anyone can ignore you but everyone else will still read your replies, and everyone is free to decide by themselves, not decided by a bully.
Edit: also, I prefer if an authority shuts me off, not a peer.. in a place that takes pride of letting people have freedom of speech, you cannot shut down anyone, you are the one that have to stop listening.

I understand what you mean, but our mods have repeated countless times that we do not have freedom of speech here, we have rules. One, for example, is simply about not being nasty to each other!

What you mean by block, it's actually ignore them (or mute them)... if you block a user in twitter, your followers won't see that user anymore. That is different to ignoring them, or recommending them to not be heard, that's deciding for others what they should read without your followers even noticing.I think you should be able to block people on a website that keeps losing advertisers because there's too many Nazis
You think he cares?
Lost/losing $44B…he still has more money than 99% of the people on the planet.
Make fun of him all you want, but i am positive he is laughing at all of us.

I never tweet. I only use the site as a news aggregator. But let's be clear here. "Freedom of Speech" on Elon's Twitter only means the freedom to:
Post various slurs
Harass gay/trans people...also women in general
Promote Crypto scams
So, yeah. I think you should be able to block those chucklefucks from replying to your tweets.

It's becoming less and less useful for news aggregation as well. The "For You" tab is mostly videos of women getting punched. That is not "for me" in any way.
Plus the whole site is infected with 50 follower, 8 buck chucklefucks writing some of the stupidest shit you've ever seen.

This study points out that income/wealth is directly correlated with carbon footprint.
It's not so much the flying around and yachting about all the time; the bigger impact comes from the amount of carbon required simply to produce their income/wealth.
America’s richest 10% are responsible for 40% of its planet-heating pollution
This means the rich folk are doing a whole lot more to fuck up the environment than previously imagined.
Elon laughing at people IS the irony here, he's the fucking loser, with no clue about his place in the world.

I think Elon is fucking miserable. Multiple divorces. His kids hate him. Spends his whole day posting the lamest boomer memes I've ever seen to get approval from some of the dumbest people in human history.
His would be opponent Fuckerberg seems much happier. Still married. Spends his billions having fun with VR shit and winning Jiu Jitsu tourneys.

Just a dude
So… I’m not sure if you guys are aware but I was just checking BBC’s website and apparently there’s something kinda big going on in America concerning a former president? I’m not even sure which ex-president, tbh I didn’t read the details and just rushed here to check with you guys. I’m curious if this is even being covered by any of the media over there or if it’s just another example of shoddy journalism from the Beeb.
So has anyone stateside read or seen anything at all about a brouhaha involving any ex-presidents on the national news? My money is on Bill Clinton putting his foot in his mouth (or putting something in someone’s mouth), I don’t think the US could ever do worse than that former guy!
