@GottaLaff CNBC is reporting, it's back. If so, was Musk-Melon firing a warning shot?

Nothing more fun than tracking down 's latest grift. For his sneakers, he's getting a fee paid to CIC Ventures, which he owns, by 45Footwear LLC, which is purportedly the shoe manufacturer. That is based in Sheridan Wyoming, in this rundown house in a grimy shopping mall.

Manned by undocumented immigrants that he will never pay, no doubt.

Teacher: Unlike their neighbors, these men ACCEPTED Lincoln’s free & fair election. They fought to preserve democracy! Student 1: Whoa. The Never-Trumpers of their day. Student 2: Mrs. Johnson, this is Florida. Isn’t it against the law to teach us the full story? Teacher: Sadly, yes. Student 2: Aren’t you worried, ma’am? What if someone turns you in? Teacher: Well, my husband’s waiting outside in our truck. Students: Go NOW, ma’am! Before it’s too late! Take I-95 north! Route 1’s a mess! Text us when you make the border, okay?

    Here's a partial quote from one of them, via Ron Filipkowski:

    1/.. “A long-awaited inspector general’s report released last month faulted previous White House medical teams for widely dispensing sedatives and stimulants, failing to maintain records on potent drugs including fentanyl, providing care to potentially hundreds of ineligible White House staff and contractors, and flouting other federal regulations.”

    I call B.S., Ronny Jackson isn't intelligent enough to fool anyone, especially Obama. I don't believe he could have surprised him on anything.

    Winning elections apparently means making#ClimateCrisis policies weaker 🤦🏻‍♀️. It shouldn’t.

    “In a concession to automakers and labor unions, the Biden administration intends to relax elements of one of its most ambitious strategies to combat climate change, limits on tailpipe emissions that are designed to get Americans to switch from gas-powered cars to electric vehicles”

    This pisses me off 😤 So Biden would rather win an election than keep his grandkids & great grandkids breathing. Fein would rather build & sell gas guzzlers than save the planet. One way or the other, cars won't be needed soon. Think about it.

    This a.m. on Morning Joe, I heard Danny Cevallos' assessment of Fani Willis' testimony yesterday. He took issue about her funds paid back to Wade for trips, that she was too emotional, too this, too that. IOW, what I heard was 'if she was a man she would've been considered strong, firm in defense of himself, but she's a woman...just a snarky bitch'. I appreciated and agreed with Andrew Weissmann's assessment.

    People, please stop telling me how to write my threads.

    I number each toot and hashtag the first one and occasionally subsequent ones. All you have to do is click on a toot to see which thread it is.

    The reporters also name the judge and lawyers in each toot, so how hard is that to figure out?

    If you can’t follow my simultaneous threads, and think you can do better, try writing your own. Let me know how that works out.
