Reports of Thwaites Glacier breaking free

I’ll post to the discussion on Reddit. Original link is on X. If this is true, it will be the story of the year.

https://www.reddit.com/r/collapse/s/89P4mKxnW3

From the original post:

A new crack runs just through the iceberg group that is attached to anchor point 6.
This is a very important subsea elevation, which served as an anchor for the central drifting iceberg train.
There is no stopping it, now that the eastern & western anchor points have also failed

Mark My Words: Garland is blocking or will block Smith's report

The alarm bells are going off here that Smith has not released his report. He has until Jan 20 2025 but something tells me it ain’t gonna happen. Garland will say it would only divide a divided nation and put people in harm’s way.

I don't feel so well

I think I ate too much popcorn watching MAGA implode this weekend.

Garland let Gaetz walk

https://www.cnn.com/2023/02/15/politics/matt-gaetz-justice-department/index.html

The Justice Department has informed lawyers for Rep. Matt Gaetz and multiple witnesses that it will not bring charges against the Florida Republican after a yearslong federal sex-trafficking investigation.

Senior officials reached out to lawyers for multiple witnesses on Wednesday, a source familiar with the matter told CNN, to inform them of the decision not to prosecute Gaetz.


We all knew this was wrong when the story broke three years ago. After reading the ethics report, what do Garland apologists have to say now?

Wait, let me predict: “Garland just got into office…” or “It wasn’t Garland, it was a Trump holdover…” or “Garland had bigger fish to fry…”

Trump is going to get Panama to refuse ships to/from US

Panama could decide to break the Neutrality Treaty and stop allowing ships to/from the US.

Trump’s statements threatening to take control of the canal certainly threaten the treaty.

Imagine what that would do to trade and inflation in this country.

Musk has serious dirt on Trump. And he is leveraging it

Trump is compromised. Remember, Jack Smith had to take Twitter/Musk to court to get him to hand over Trump’s account info including Trump’s DMs. Musk has all of that info and can use it to bend Trump to his will. Musk bought himself a severely compromised candidate and made sure he won so Musk can be the Shadow King. Trump will take all the heat for any and all disasters while Musk enriches himself through manipulation of the Executive.

To add: Musk has all Twitter DMs of all public figures as well as many influencers.

PROFIT TAX: Use this term for "Privatized" anything

When Trump talks about privatizing the USPS, remind folks that the Post Office is non-profit and the cost of shipping goods is exactly determined to cover the costs. Privatizing anything comes with a PROFIT TAX. That includes healthcare which is why we ended up with a CEO shot dead in the street. You can’t privatize essential services without throwing on a profit tax and we all know what that does in the end.
