Ian Bray

Let’s talk about Marbury, and how it’s not ratified, despite numerous obvious windows to table it as an amendment.

Without that, well, SCOTUS would have to find other things to occupy its time. Like cases and controversies not on a shadow docket.

As the framers intended.

Here’s a infographic I knocked up.

It’s all about their CRE portfolios and seeking money to keep extending their fictional values- Saudis, Qataris, Russians, anyone who’ll stop their portfolios getting margin called.

Hence ‘AI data centers’ in the ‘reconstruction plan’. It’s a wash scheme.

It does enrich them - it keeps them in the loop, and still forces a 50 market solution rather than a single one with direct purchase power leverage.

My wife spent 9 days on ward in Venice a month ago- total cost $1700.

That’s the cost of half a day in a US hospital in a major metro.

It’s deeply eugenist.

The other meanderings in that thread are the same arguments for Royals inbreeding. Ask Charles II of Spain how that worked out.

What we think of as desirable traits aren’t necessarily genetically coherent outcomes.

Genetics aren’t a menu.

How did we end up with such mendacious mediocrities in the officer corps, let alone letting them becoming an Admiral?

"together (with narcos) they were going to shove the drugs right up the noses of the gringos."

And you claim you’re not aware, Senator?

Perhaps you should retire then, take up a career most suited to your skills? No idea what that could be, but it isn’t being Senator, clearly.

Another question- if they didn’t believe there were survivors, why have a second strike?

Recklessly discharging very expensive ordinance for fun? Good luck arguing that in a court.

Dirty secret: AI isn’t replacing jobs. It’s barely replacing functions (3% of a remote workers day can be automated).

They’re bullshitting through flat revenue, and to juice their stock, they cut expenses- human resource expenses are easier than cutting their bonuses.

Can we have legislation that determines what elected members spend their money on, since it’s government benefits and all?
Any benefits in kind from political donations have to be worked off on hard labor camps in Alaska? We could stream & monetize it!

Nemesis usually follows excessive hubris, and boy is there a lot of nihilistic hubris.

Especially when you start looking at commercial real estate valuations vs actual sale prices, same with residential and of course the mythical pony of AI.

Gambler economics wrapped in a word salad of pretension.

He was presuming the WWE theatrics and costs would make them cave.
He was very, very wrong. Now they have less reason to do business with us- he’s not trustworthy, the US isn’t seen as reliable, so, where’s the deal to be had, Donald? You ratfucked yourself, and us.

Wait until you hear what is in the basement of the Zorro Ranch. Which interestingly we’ve never gotten photography of, just descriptions by visitors.

He apparently was building a maternity suite. Wanted ‘women’ pregnant with his children, year round.

Also said he was doing stuff in Mexico…

“Hi, I’m the 2nd in the line of Executive succession and I don’t have a clue what’s going on it the world because I spend all my time on Grin- sorry, ‘praying’.”

J.M. Barrie author of Peter Pan coined it.

Otherwise referred to as arrested development, clinically speaking.

Pam, I’ll be honest- it doesn’t even work then. Lost Boys need a Daddy figure, need the acceptance of a pseudo father figure.

Men don’t.

Lot of boys out there.

Should just randomly insert the word ‘Epstein’.
That’ll keep him awake.

They wanted a free market, why did they insist on 50 non-competitive markets?
Why shouldn’t some in say Boston be able to buy cheaper insurance from Florida?

They’ve never answered that question.

He clearly should self deport.

Makes you wonder- How many confessions of crimes do you think LLMs have in their prompt histories? It’s got to be a stupendous amount by now...

The Institute is great in an almost separate box. This is VERY King Derry stories. It’s what rubs people the wrong way, it’s a dark place, you don’t feel safe, you’re dealing with real eldritch things.
King has a multiverse of tones and this sits in that OG horror one.

I think it’s entirely on the money, personally. Best show in the King universe.

You can tell the most combat he’s had is with a slide projector, can’t you?

Sure, hit Jamie, and JPM also has real horns to goodness attorneys, not beltway ideologues and strip mall lawyers. They clearly told him the red lines, JPM isn’t his company, he’s the CEO (a successful & long serving one)- but still, an employee of the shareholders.
Trump never could grok that.

Response should always be: name them. None for be 50 States have hit that, but maybe Narnia and the Log Cabin did?

Aka- I not a fan of orange and know ‘everyone was doing it’ is a confession not an excuse.

You can shut Ted up by giving his an ostrich egg, at least.

If the filibuster is allowed to stand.

That’s not a certainty after this Admin.

It’s been needed for a while. Most civilians don’t get how bad PED abuse is in elite units- it’s worse than the Olympics, and degrades their utility. A roided out bro juicing to meet levels his unjuiced betters did 30 years ago is a liability not a tip of the spear.

And we aren’t at war with civilians in boats- not matter what we alleged they may or may not be doing.

SEALS are officers not enlisted. They know better. Apparently the big manly tip of spear guys are too fucking cowardly to say ‘fuck no, you alcoholic civilian bitch. Come back with lawful orders.’
