Actually, I watched the whole thing live.  So, you are wrong.

Like I said, Merz hardly got a chance to speak.

Trump doesn't exactly come across as a Statesman.

He sounds random and deranged.

This could have legs, and if true, is a bit disconcerting

REPORT: Trump ally Peter Thiel previously accepted $40 million from Jeffrey Epstein—an investment now worth $170 million. Epstein quietly invested in Thiel’s Valar Ventures around 2015. The $170 million stake is the largest asset remaining in Epstein’s estate. But it gets worse. Thiel chairs Palantir, the surveillance giant Trump tapped to build an AI-powered grid. Their tech has already been used for predictive “pre-crime” policing in New Orleans. Think Minority Report. Thiel once warned about “technocratic Antichrist systems.” So why is he building one? He also said Christianity means siding with victims. But he took millions from Epstein—the most famous predator of our time. Valar Ventures confirmed it. Thiel’s spokesman? No comment. As for Epstein? We’re told it was suicide. No files. No footage. No answers. Now FBI Director Kash Patel is hinting at new intel—but still no proof. What exactly is Palantir building behind the scenes?

breaks it all down in tonight’s report. This goes deeper than anyone imagined.

NEW: FBI Director Kash Patel says there’s no Epstein Island video showing elites committing crimes—and if there were, “you’d see it.” Joe Rogan asked the question millions have been screaming for years: “Is there video from the island?” Kash’s answer? Blunt. “Not of what you want… If I had it, I’d be the first guy to bring this case hard and fast.” He claims they’ve reviewed everything under lawful access. They’ve combed through the files. And what they have, he says, is… nothing. Not the kind of bombshell the public has imagined. No smoking gun. No list. No footage of the world’s powerful doing the unspeakable. And for those who suspect a coverup, Kash insists he’s not the one. “I got here 100 days ago. I can’t be held to account for 20 years of failures.” He says some tapes may never have existed. Others may have been destroyed. But if you’re hoping the FBI has an ace up its sleeve, the message is clear: Don’t hold your breath.

This is what EVERYONE should be talking about “Donald Trump's Big Beautiful bill contains a clause that bars all 50 states from regulating AI for the next decade. Now, the Trump administration just granted Palantir Technologies significant contracts to develop a federal state platform. Powered by its AI Driven Foundry software, the platform consolidates sensitive personal data from irs, Social Security Administration, immigration services and other agencies to streamline service and decision making. The company was founded by Alex Karp and Peter thiel of the PayPal mafia, and a significant portion of the company is currently owned by BlackRock. The surveillance state was inevitable regardless who became president. Oh, and it gets better. This announcement follows Elon's resignation from DOGE, which managed to cut less than $100 billion in wasteful spending. Numerous Doge employees not only worked for Palantir, but they lobbied on behalf of them, raising questions about whether DOGE's initial purpose was to access classified data while creating the illusion of bureaucratic reform in trillions in savings, which again actually came out to around $6 trillion estimated. In reality, this may have been an effort to expand the surveillance state and provide Palantir with backdoor access. So how about that for your golden age? The only members of Congress to speak out against this were Thomas Massie and Marjorie Taylor Greene. — So all members of Congress, including the Republican Party, have failed us here.” Alex Karp, CEO of Palantir, says his software was solely responsible for defeating the far right in Europe

YEP

Goes into my Anti AI thread
Also bolsters my not voting for this crap.
I have said it in other threads, both sides of the same coin, want a AI powered total technofascist state, and Musky helped build it, very obviously, I might add.
Now add in the transhumanism crap and where do you go?
Hopefully into violent revolution and natural living.  Not forced integration into the Borg to live a daily life.

I concur. Don't care who it implicates. Bring every last pedophile DOWN!

Both sides have miscalculated them by thinking their ideology aligned with theirs. Truth be told, they're opportunists who know how to consistently play the game as the government changes.

I suppose you know that both Thiel and Palantir are closely connected to Project 2025?

2 big egos are likely to have a fall out.

Seems to me like Elon is pissed Trump pushed a big beautiful spending bill.  Elon’s cost cutting work on DOGE was in vain.

Let’s see if Elon has the cards to burn the house down or if he is just being a blowhard.

TSLA tanked 14.3% today, but Nasdaq down 0.8%.

Exactly.  The national debt is the real threat to the USA.  And Trump is asking true conservatives to tank their values and vote for the big beautiful bill.  Trump has done lots I agree with.  But this march to insolvency is just insane.  And both sides are to blame.  Tired of the can being kicked down the road.
