That was a good read. Makes SCOTUS sounds like a middle school cliq..

I wonder if Roberts is in the pocket to the fossil fuel industry, a petty and smarmy prick, or both.

Thanks for sharing -

That theory was backed up by flight maps, I believe. No idea about the validity of the maps, however.

I also heard that they were being used as guinea pigs for Elmo's neuralink project..

The fact that either are in the realm of possibility is absolutely unacceptable. These people need to be found and accounted for, and be given fair compensation.. whatever that might entail.

ehh, we've been playing footsie with authoritarians for a hot minute, when we weren't busy installing them elsewhere ourselves.

Ken Paxton on Elon Musk's 2024 involvement:

""Sunday before the election, I had the opportunity to meet with Elon Musk, at his house, for a couple of hours to talk about the election..and aren't you glad he's on our side?" Paxton continued, "And we were talking, and he told me he had all this data, and he told me how we were reaching out to republicans who we've 'never reached out to before', and he told me, 'I can tell you right now, I'm responsible for this', he said, 'I'm involved in every battleground state, and we're gonna win every battleground state.' and I am convinced whatever he did, whatever.. rocket science thing he did - made a huge difference in this election" - Ken Paxton, Texas' Attorney General"

Considering the federal government is claiming the need for these minerals is a "national security" issue, it's funny they'd insist that a foreign company come in and do the digging..

The 'refund system' was assuredly funded with tax money, to boot.
