I believe that there should be a nationwide memorial day set aside for Alex Pretti, much like the one for Charlie Kirk. I have not seen any mention of this idea and would like to get it started, but I have no experience in this sort of thing. Anyone interested and willing to help?

Sorry, I refuse to be afraid. Despair is not an option.

If he thought he could make WAY MORE MONEY on Doge, he might not care about the Tesla losses. Follow the money.

It’s all about the Benjamins. Follow the money, leave the distractions.

This is all performative. DOGE is designed to make a lot of money for Musk at the expense of the U.S. taxpayer and the freedom of its citizens by training Grok or a derivative on confidential information in databases of the US government that were designed not to be shared or exploited.

The Rule of Law was birthed to promote exchanges of goods and services and has expanded as a norm to live together, provide for the common defense and public order, and public health, etc. Replacing it with a Rule of Whim is bound to have bad effects for everyone, particularly business.

Perhaps, but I think the more significant cage match may be Trump v. Putin after a period where they try to divide the world between them and Xi. Ukraine for Denmark, that sort of thing. Musk could be the go-between or mediator between the three, since he has independent ties to each and wealth.

Also, to curry favor with the big kid. For a while, they could divide up the playground between them until the moment came when he could finally bully the big kid himself.

Mitch Jackson rightly points out, the end game of the dismissal is domination. Think about it. If there is a multi-verse, Trump will seek a way to dominate it to. That is what is happening. Full stop.

Maybe the President napped through the refs’ calls last night at the Superbowl. If one team refused to respect the refs' calls, the game couldn’t have gone on. It's the point of umpires, referees and judges. It works for American football. It’s also good for American justice. Let’s cut the baloney.

It’s a slippery slope once you bend the knee and hope you have bought “peace in your time."

Maybe as janitors and gardeners, though.

This is a defining moment, just as portrayed in the film 'Gladiator Two'.

John Messing @johnmessing.com · 10/02/2025

It’s like one of the Superbowl teams refusing to honor the ref’s calls. How can you finish the game?

We can do recounts and still have a peaceful transfer of power. Recounts of digital results should be a No Brainer. It doesn’t make anyone a poor loser or disloyal to the peaceful transfer of power to the (legitimate) winner.

Viktor Orban mucked Fascism out of the sewers of Europe. Others wrote it up as Project 2025. America created the Declaration of Independence. Renew democracy! Our collective and individual actions matter. Big and small alike.

Has there been any post election sampling to compare the reported vote counts to preserved paper ballots, e.g. in Pa?

We own the narrative. Not them. So stand tall, speak up, and make damn sure they hear you.

Ever wonder if and how a chatbot understands its own existence, and what that might mean for the future? I asked two of them about it, was surprised by the answers and created an AI generated podcast about it. Listen here: johnmessing.com/airpodcast.htm #ai #ailaw #scitech
