It really makes you wonder if all the “billionaires” aren’t exactly like this. Born into infinite privilege, surrounded by yes men and sycophants every minute of their lives. They become walking disasters who have to be managed and distracted constantly, kept far away from the actual business.

In the last few years, we’ve gotten an up close and personal look at two such figures - Musk and Trump. Musk is increasingly being revealed to be an idiot on at least a weekly basis. Trump is about to face his 3rd round of indictments out of who knows how many are coming? Putting a spotlight on these people gone well for them, to say the least.

I wonder what would happen if a camera crew had near-constant access to Jamie Dimon, Jeff Bezos, etc. I wonder if they have teams positioned around them to screen them out of important decisions as much as possible, because the privilege created by their disgusting levels of wealth and power has rotted their brains. I also wonder if you were to look closely enough at their dealings, they wouldn’t all be under indictment.

I am shocked (shocked I say!) that Putin didn’t keep his word. The second he turned that convoy around, Prigozhin’s life was over. Why he would think for even a second that the leader of an armed rebellion would be the one person Putin deals with fairly and honestly is beyond me.

The French Revolution ultimately resulted in the Napoleonic Wars, which then resulted in the Congress of Vienna and the next 100 years of (relative) peace and stability in Europe. Next to the French Revolution, the American one was a blip at the time.

Prigozhin is in Russia to do a little window shopping.

He didn’t pay for a permit to do so. The police are there to protect capital, but under clearly-defined rules. Anyone who isn’t a fuckwit knows to pay the city its fees before doing something like this.

When JPMorgan Chase buys out a smaller bank, they apply for the permit in triplicate and pay all the fees, then make a donation to the Fraternal Order of Police. The cops then show up to attack protestors.

He’s probably pinin’ for the fXords.

Unknown political consultant could be the first informant who might never even be charged.

Rudy offered a proffer not that long ago. If he gave them anything they didn’t already have, he’s worked out a deal and has flipped. If not, the case is much stronger than people are saying.

They have Eastman’s phone, and they took it with zero warning, so they have all his communications.

A former colleague of Jeffrey Clark is cooperating and claims to have turned over hundreds of documents and sat through “many hours of recorded depositions.”

Not a good day for Team Trump.

Zuch has finally decided to choose a human-like personality. This is the beta for each option.
