(9,319 posts)Elon says Trump was on Epstein Island. So? Everybody knows THAT. Yes, we (i.e. the Public) know about the sex stuff. At the end of the day, IT DIDN'T, DOESN'T nor WILL IT matter.
Has he shut down Trump's Twitter account yet? That would be a "shoot" punch.
Is he trying to negotiate an immunity deal with law enforcement in swing states to prove how his techs helped rigged the election? That would be a "shoot" punch.
(BTW, I'm using pro wrestling jargon because, if Trump were to ever show up on Monday Night RAW, he would probably be introduced as "WWE Hall of Famer and President of the United States Donald J. Trump"
Is Trump shutting down DOGE? "Shoot" punch.
In fact, to my point of the whole "Reality TV" ballyhoo and weaponized distraction, this is what's NOT dominating any of the news cycles.
WASHINGTON (AP) The Supreme Court handed the Trump administration two victories Friday in cases involving the Department of Government Efficiency, including giving it access to Social Security systems containing personal data on millions of Americans.
The justices also separately reined in orders seeking transparency at DOGE, the team once led by billionaire Elon Musk.
The court's conservative majority sided with the Trump administration in the first Supreme Court appeals involving DOGE. The three liberal justices dissented in both cases.
The DOGE victories come amid a messy breakup between the president and the world's richest man that started shortly after Musks departure from the White House and has included threats to cut government contracts and a call for the president to be impeached. The future of DOGEs work isn't clear without Musk at the helm, but both men have previously said that it will continue its efforts.

Don't get me wrong, MountainGuy, I'm sure these divas are genuinely miffed at each other, but I don't think their joint-venture diabolicalness is gonna be tweaked in any manner... or at least in a way that will BENEFIT us.
I'm just an old man drenched in cynicism, I guess...
