There are no rules in the House right now without a speaker to enforce those rules. Release the documents publicly, save for classified info.

#19 - There is simply no way anyone truly believes this. Nobody. Not even Vlad The Sad. Stating that Russia is getting stronger is beyond laughable. It would take years for them to build enough equipment to give their Ukraine debacle another shot. With economic sanctions still in place, that timeline goes up significantly. Russia is dead, dude. It will emerge from this madness as a shell of it's former self, crippled for decades.

If you think the USA doesn't have the resolve to keep pumping cash and equipment into the conflict, you haven't been paying attention for the past 50 years. Defeating Russia by signing checks and letting the great people of Ukraine borrow some of our older equipment is a bargain for us. Thanks for making it easy, Vlad. Had he decided to simply join this century and play nicely with the international community, instead of trying to fulfill cold war fantasies of "NATO Aggression", his country would have just continued the slow wither of kleptocrat rot from within. Now the demise is hastened. And the VAST VAST majority of the USA has their popcorn buckets already in-hand watching the Russian state collapse in real time. What an amazing age we live in.

#6 I was just researching Roomba models today and they actually now guarantee that the Roomba will not spread feces all over the floor. They claim their object recognition will prevent it from happening.

#15 - Agreed. When the bluster about TT came out during TFG's time in office I assumed it was political. Then when major tech companies banned it from their employee's devices, that's when I knew there was something more to the story.

#15 - See Truth Social

#7 It's entirely possible that Musk was the "useful idiot" in this scenario. More money than most countries at his disposal, and more hubris than his health is likely to stand.

The useful part is that Musk will run Twitter and do the bidding of his investors. Like divulge identifying info on dissidents, or delete certain inconveniently-true posts.

You don't invest billions in an unprofitable company unless you have plans for said company. Making it disappear is probably worth a few billion to authoritarian rulers who don't want their populace to organize. And if they do organize, now they have a way to find out who those organizers are.

OR, Musk really is less intelligent than he appears and thought he could, through fanboys and sheer will alone, turn Twitter profitable. It's entirely possible that he's one of those ridiculously out-of-touch billionaires who lives in their own information/echo bubble and he just couldn't see any of this coming.

Either way, now musky is running scared. Fantastical floundering should begin by the turn of the new year.

#4 or is that the end goal? Some of his investors would presumably be pretty happy if their citizens could no longer use the platform for organizing and truth-telling.
