Fortunate that Musk just didn't dump all of tRump's Twitter data before the courts ordered their surrender, and claimed "server error-inadvertent deletions", or whatever. I'm sure there was covert contact between the two, but doubt if Musk wanted to go the "co-conspirator" route for obstruction of justice, and join His Orange on the docket.

There's still time for EM to join the Orange Man...lots of room in the courts....

Musk has come late to the realization that..."Everything tRump touches, dies", and is shying away from the Orange Cancer.

Especially if he's pulling these kinds of shenanigans.

Typos and grammatical errors: tRump wrote it

Perfect English: It was someone else

Funny, but not sufficient for court!

It will make a fantastic game, though, when all that data becomes public: Guess which tweets Trump wrote!

Make a drinking game with it ; if the tweet was written by dumpster you take a drink , if not , take another drink ! At least you will drown out his voice !!😅🤣😂

Huigi, if there are either. “ALLCAPS” or initial Caps on Selected Words, Trump wrote it.

Elon is nearly as despicable as Trump; they are both buzzards of a feather, lead by arrogance, entitlement and undeserved bravado.

I'm just waiting for him to miss his first interest payment so the banks can call in his loans for default. The bank will get their money first and then the bank can sell it to someone with a brain. Then it can be restored and not be a home for the racists and bigots.

OT: Mark Meadows has already filed suit for "removal" of his GA indictment charges to a federal jurisdiction under the "acting as a US officer" claim...expect tRump and several of the other indictees to follow suit.

This is largely a time wasting maneuver, and yes, I expect many others will pursue this action. However, the courts have fairly consistently held that political actions in pursuit of illegal objectives don’t fall within the definition of official duties.

I suspect Meadows will be slapped down. The biggest problem that I see with his being indicted in the Georgia case, is that it might limit his usefulness as a witness in the DC federal case if Jack Smith is counting on him having flipped and being willing to spill some beans. If what he says in a DC court, assuming the trial of that case precedes the one in Georgia, can be used against him in the Georgia case, then we can expect a lot of “taking the Fifth.”

Absolutely, it's a predictable time-waster that was already shot down for tRump in the "hush money" NY indictment, but anything to delay the inevitable. BTW, the federal judge hearing these suits is Steve Jones, an Obama appointee, FWIW.

It is increasingly clear there are other U.S. living quarters more suitable for 45 than the White House.

My "side-by-side" photo mashup would show heavily armed men in camo next to that comical man-baby parade float meme of Trump with the caption, "These men are on the same team."

Words cannot (and should not...) express my opinion of EM & my sadness at the layoffs.

I noticed another commenter asked about the possibility of increasing one's subscription. I'm interested in that also. (Would only be a smidge, but every smidge helps.)

I'll also be checking out Think Big Picture.
