Last time the US bought land from Denmark, Epstein’s island was purchased [0]
> The last time the United States purchased land from Denmark, the sale included Jeffrey Epstein’s future notorious island — which has since been dubbed “Epstein Island” and “Pedophile Island.”
> The 1917 Treaty of the Danish West Indies saw what is now known as the US Virgin Islands bought by the United States for $25 million (roughly $633 million today), in exchange for, in part, accepting Danish sovereignty over Greenland.
I didn't get that far online. As soon as they said that I needed to create an account to buy something and that it gave them the right to spam me, I closed the window.
Now, they may have later said that Californians have a right to "no spam" (or not) but I really don't care at this point.
He that claimed weaponization of the DOJ is eager to weaponize it [0]
Pure projection, 100% of the time.
> Trump Is Weaponizing the DOJ Just Like He Accused Democrats of Doing
> Throughout the 2024 presidential campaign season, Donald Trump accused his Democratic opponents—President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris—of using the levers of power against him.
> "The Biden regime's weaponization of our system of justice is straight out of the Stalinist Russia horror show," he told rallygoers in March 2023 after being indicted in Manhattan for violating election law. In a September 2024 debate against Harris, Trump even blamed Democrats' rhetoric for the assassination attempt he survived weeks earlier, saying "I probably took a bullet to the head because of the things that they say about me."
> But now that Trump is firmly ensconced back in office, his administration seems to have no interest in stopping government weaponization. Rather, it seems keen to wield that power for itself. Looking back now on Trump's complaints, it appears less that he was upset than that he was jealous.
Just for the record. 34 felony convictions and adjudicated rape.
PG&E similarly neglected maintenance and faked inspection records. The history of these is long and basically boils down to regulatory capture to maintain shareholder returns and socialize the cost of safety measures that were not done, at great cost in property and lives. It's government welfare for business. My non-summer bill went from $35 to $105, and I am on the very low end of usage.
