Melania met Trump through Epstein. They probably would prefer not to have that information made public. So if people can’t connect the dots, they won’t know.
Even though things have been unraveling on the supposed Epstein List, it was still stunning to see Kash Patel’s blunt statement about the conspiracies being, as ever, non-existent. Like the stolen election myth, they used them to get MAGA’s votes, and their attempt to jettison is getting the same reaction that Fox News got when they called Arizona for Biden. “It’s all revolutionary cosplay with them. Not anymore, it’s all real now. You a******* wanted it. Now you’ve got it. Good luck.”
I think the mainstream media should get a stiff spine and televise the Bove confirmation vote live. Another deal for Murkowski or did she take too much flack for the BBB capitulation?
Truth is, Bongino took the job and then found out that it was really, really, HARD! And, worse, you had to show up EVERY DAY and WORK long hours. And then—the Epstein files!
FOX is probably “holding” another return job for Bongino? He is not a happy camper at FBI. WE the People are not happy with him either! But, he asks questions that we want to know the answers to? FBI is not the perfect job for him!
What a mess everywhere in this regime. No one is great for the job assignment.
It is delicious to see the MAGA deplorables fighting over this story and I hope it has staying power. But the story that I hope gets continued scrutiny is Trump and Noem's responsibility for so many deaths in Texas by virture of Trump/Musk's cutting of NOAA and NWS and FEMA whose failure to respond for 4 days was cataclysmic.
Now that we have wandered into my actual area of expertise of Organizational Change some 'splaining may be helpful here.
"Autocracy" (this is the actual Org Change jargon used) means a flat structure with a leader, a few trusted lieutenants, and everyone else. I've seen this structure work exceedingly well in contained environments like a plant or a warehouse. In a "healthy" version of this, you would have for example a respected, skilled, and benevolent Plant Manager overseeing the operations; Line Managers who strictly enforce safety protocols and process; and lower skilled Line workers who are typically doing repetitive and potentially dangerous work. "Unhealthy" versions of this show up street gangs, organized crime, or family companies that are trying to grow but can't let go. The motive in "healthy" Autocracies is benevolent power, in "unhealthy" Autocracies it's the raw desire to maintain power. Sound Familiar?
A "Meritocracy" has a more fluid structure. In a "healthy" version, teams are formed around the problem and the solution needed. Team members are sought after and earn respect based on their expertise rather than which rung they are on in the organizational ladder. Everyone has a broad range of autonomy to execute their work. "Unhealthy" aspects of a Meritocracy can show up as a "dog-eat-dog mentality", or "workaholism", and there are always a few a##holes and narcissists who bluster their way in, but these typically can be resolved individually.
To take an existing healthy Meritocratic organization and change it to even a 'HEALTHY" version of an Autocracy, would REQUIRE USING CHAOS AS A TACTIC and this would be change into an "UNHEALTHY" version. Not that I think there is a tactical brain cell in the bunch and was more likely stumbled upon based on the theory of blind squirrels but see Exhibit A - FBI, Exhibit B - FEMA, Exhibit C - DOJ (with DOD being another Exhibit but in a unique category due to the overall organizational complexity and which may help to insulate it.)
….and now for the good news…. for all the people who are currently working in a healthy Meritocracy, I GUARANTEE this is going to go down about as well as a sh#t sandwich with a side of barbed wire. Let's find as many people as possible who don't want to eat the sh#t sandwich and get them in front of as many microphones as we can find…trusting that part to Charlie. Tag, your it!

Elon is the man holding the match. He will not let this go.
Nope…
Not in the least. Not since 2015.
Thank you.

The golem Donald invoked is coming for him.
If Bongino goes, take the win. One step at a time.
What supposed "professionals" think its a good idea to have a slug fest or WWE smackdown on the antisocial media?
What other supposed professionals think anyone should care about their smackdown.
It is getting to be borderline tabloid press material.

Where is Auggie getting those balls? They look like they come from a lane line :-)

The Bongino Principle endures
If they are going to slap fight, have them hold hammers.

Auggie is a clever dog. That will improve today greatly.
