Ex-military. Barrister. I like systems, evidence, and uncomfortable truths. Low tolerance for nonsense; especially the fascist, sexist, racist or homophobic kind. Calm under pressure. Quiet until I’m not.

Katie Phang: "Todd Blanche wants to continue to hide the Epstein files from the American people. He wants to allow the existing redactions and withholdings to stand as a matter of law. He's saying what he has done is legally sufficient. And I am here to say, hell no, it is not."

One user on X asked Grok to identify the “biggest threat to Western civilization.” It responded that the greatest threat was “misinformation and disinformation.” Elon had a fit, declared it a stupid response, and demanded changes. The next day Grok said the biggest threat was low fertility rates.

Funny. I cannot recall any "diplomat" seeing their net worth rise by roughly 📈 $100 million to $200 million since taking the position. Yet Jared Kushner has. So, spare me any BS about his job description. It has nothing to do with diplomacy.
