So, pissing on an inferno he set ablaze. If we would all just forget about the Epstein files this would end tomorrow, I wager.

Some companies/CEOs making bucks on this, to be sure.

They don’t call him King Mierdas for nothing.

Ha, yeah. Even with the right prompts, gpt was being impossibly stupid about it. To be fair, I made this image proper some time ago. No idea where it went, so I went the lazy route and got lazy results.

Shit, meant to make it an actual png.

I believe, and this is as diplomatic as I care to be, that he is perhaps concerned with billionaires fleeing the state and that a national approach could prevent that.

Oof, just did that a couple of days ago, in prod no less (not able to test particular change in lower envs). Good times.

Rape children - no worries. Touch algae pond - believe it or not, straight to jail.

This is a guy who has lost all control of a very bad situation. Republicans all seem fine with it. They talk a game, but avoid the mechanisms in place to put an end to it all. They are neck deep in the sunken cost of supporting a moron and they are out of moves. Good times.

Another triumph for King Mierdas

So the epic lid flip was self-inflicted. Impressive.

Was it the Swedes who said something to the effect of “We aren’t going to reward someone who brings a bucket to extinguish the fire they started.”

That is accurate.

Yeah, that was weird timing.

Game recognize game.

They didn’t handle Mitch’s reboots very well either.

Dr Nick Riviera. “…the red thing’s connected to my - wristwatch. Uh oh”

“Two weeks” Now, where have I heard that before?
