J’ai Les Clés

Vince Gilligan and his team have done it again.
Rhea Seehorn is superb.

(Also really happy to see Samba Schutte who absolutely slays as Koumba Diabaté. I hope we get to see more of that character in coming episodes.)

Those who confuse #bitcoin with crypto understand neither.

I am, evidently, neither the first nor only one who recognizes this:

I’ve been off this app for a while because the blocking feature renders it unusable, IMHO.

E.g. a few people recently liked my posts from last year where I challenged or debunked lies about #bitcoin, but I’m unable to see what the OP wrote because they either blocked me or deleted what they said.

Oh, cool.
Cool, cool, cool, cool, cool.
No doubt, no doubt, no doubt.

Cool with this?

Sorry, Rev, no. You’re overstepping by calling anyone else “ignorant about gunshot wounds” here.
Ronnie Jackson stated that bullet clipped the ear. The concussive force of this ammunition means T should’ve been examined in MRI w regular follow ups. We know that didn’t happen b/c he kept campaigning.

Sam Altman @sama • 13h This is a remarkable claim given what I have heard alleged that Elon does to manipulate X to benefit himself and his own companies and harm his competitors and people he doesn't like. Elon Musk @elonmusk • 15h Apple is behaving in a manner that makes it impossible for any Al company besides OpenAl to reach #1 in the App Store, which is an unequivocal antitrust violation. ...

THE GIRLS ARE FIGHTINGGG

Holy shit, that was a fun video.

Makes me wish I was college-aged again and living in Singapore or Wyoming!

I honestly thought this was a headline from the Onion.

Bad analogy.

No one would drink tea with Putin.

😉

He let this KGB prick into the fucking limo

And what of the medical professionals who asserted that the wound was inconsistent with a bullet? Or those that said if it was, there would also necessarily be TBI, which was never addressed?

Well, they weren’t invited to testify.

The essential components are the same: being able to pull off a deception in full view of public, some of whom are paid to scrutinize and uncover (either officially or highly motivated by profit), as well as individuals who often unknowingly participate in the scheme and its coverup.
I’ve seen it.

If the average person has the strength to hold a fat 78 year old down, the USSS in good physical form can, too.
They probably were told not to touch his head under any circumstance, else it would mess up his comb-over.

J/K, or am I?

Also, just to put a fine point on it, “refuses to leave” is one thing.

Allowing them to expose themselves outside the body bunker is another. *That’s* what my sources objected to. One said someone should have had their hand on his head or back of his neck to keep him down and guided to safety.

Thanks for that, Rev.
Quoting the footnote, “USSS may wish to examine the extent to which its body bunker training covers all possible scenarios.”

Umm, ya think?

Srsly though, the ex-military people I know (who do protection work in the private sector and for diplomats) called BS on this, day of.

For privacy reasons I won’t get into further, let’s say I’m familiar with the struggles of investigative reporters in several domains, including corporate & securities fraud.
So, the idea that only a precious few people are needed to pull off a large deception (in public) isn’t something I doubt.

Besides, there are plenty of ways to shut down or silence people who might expose something, and not all of them need to be through intimidation or threats of violence. Your garden-variety bureaucracy takes care of a lot that by focusing attention where it wants, and vice versa.

Similarly, why would “all staff at both the rally and hospital” have to be in on it?

Again, respectfully, that’s not how secret (or even military, or even corporate) plans are hatched, or carried out.

Participants do not need to know the full scope of the play, and rarely would.

I’m certainly not suggesting 300 people are involved. Have you interacted w other people here who *are* saying that? I agree w you that’s crazy.

Likewise, I’m not suggesting that the *entire FBI* is in on it, which someone here attributed to me as being my position. I never said anything like that.

Calling crime data "fake news," Trump seizes DC police Lies, manipulated data, unsubstantiated allegations, and an unprecedented federal takeover.

1. A lot of people are (correctly) reporting that Trump ordered a federal takeover of the DC police even though violent crime in DC is at 30 year low.

How is the Trump administration responding?

They claim that DC crime data is rigged!

(Sound familiar?)

Let's review.

Respectfully, I think you guys are both overestimating how certain investigations work, both at the municipal and federal levels. I can point to many examples of malfeasance. I’m sure you can, too.

Have you ever watched a magician perform a close-up sleight of hand trick?

Covered from multiple angles, with split-second photography showing every detail, and they can still fool you into believing you saw something that didn’t happen.

Oh, hey Anita, I didn’t know you were on here.

Isn’t it interesting that the Arab world, presumably more knowledgeable about the circumstances in the region, shows more interest in disarming Hamas, while U.S. Dems seek to criticize Israel?

@silverlining.bsky.social @blackswan.bsky.social @gradient-descent.bsky.social @echowander.bsky.social @bitcoin.bsky.social & I tried to dispel FUD and outright lies about #bitcoin. For years. There’s a lot of confusion/hatred here.

Among the worst qualities of Bsky is the way blocking works.

Despite replying with detailed support for ₿’s obvious benefits to monetary policy, renewable energy production, censorship-resistance, etc., an OP can nuke an entire thread by blocking, and all the time/effort undertaken disappears.
