I can't get over the quote from the bills author when he says "Give me a break". In my district in the last election there were 3 candidates running for the state Legislature and they all tried to out conservative eqch other.

I'm sure Ben Shapiro will work wokeness into it somehow.

Didn't W divest a bunch of stuff and setup a blind trust for the same reason. And if I'm remembering correctly didn't the peanut farm had been Carter's family for a while so he gave up something that meant something more than money.

I'm pretty sure most of his properties are extremely leveraged.

I think the reason it was such an issue with Trump is I can't think of another president that had the infrastructure (i.e. his hotels) to make revenue via emoluments.

He's got to be fuming. He's managed to go 75 years without ever being held accountable by anyone for anything. And now it's happening. He'll drain the RNC by August.

The fact that no bond companies would accept real property as a collateral for the bond and only liquid or easily liquified assets points to the properties being leveraged to the hilt. If he ends up having to pay even a portion of this and has to start selling properties we should see a true picture of his financial status.

So would I but good luck getting your average local sheriff or office of emergency preparedness to use RSS. Most of their "IT" staff is the deputy who is "good with computers" meaning they can open a PDF file.

It's a shame because Twitter is a perfect platform for the kind of one-way communications required by a news agency or local government agency. Maybe Mastodon or Bluesky will fill that void.

It's only fair.

I think the focus on bots was primarily used in an attempt to back out of the deal. It was never an issue, especially if it inflated his ego by pumping up his account.

I was never active in terms of posting but I followed several news outlets, local government agencies, and a few friends. Shortly after Musk took over I saw nothing but right wing nutjobs and a lot of posts from Musk. I tried unfollowing but nothing worked so I quit logging in. I need to cancel my account but haven't taken the time.

Most folks who say this don't realize which side they fall on.

Does he know what Marxism is?

If I only needed black and white without 11x17 capability I would definitely have gotten a laser printer. A color laser printer with 11x17 capability start north of $700. The only Epson eco-tank model I could find in stock with 11x17 was over $1000. I bought the workforce model that did what I needed for $200. I know I'm going to be gouged on the ink but I just couldn't swing the upfront cost. Plus with my low volume of printing an $80 set of cartridges will last about 6-9 months.

I recently had to buy a printer. I do civil engineering for a utility company and need the ability to print in color on 11"x17" paper. I looked into the Epson Eco-Tank printers but they are very expensive. Based on my printing volume it would take me years to make up the cost difference between the lower end printers that use cartridges vs the eco-tank. It might have made more sense if I didn't need the 11"x17" capability. Unfortunately, I think this is where all printer companies will end up going. Hopefully I'll be retired and no longer need to print by the time this mentality takes over the entire business.

I think so. I'm not sure what the special master does.

Thanks. I'll check them out.

That was an attempt to appeal to the crazies without directly appealing to the crazies. That never works.
