I honestly thought he was serious about going to Russia lol

It would be HILARIOUS to see him in exile in Russia, but he's way too arrogant and narcissistic to flee the states.

Milo and POTUS posted:Someone got into the Panzerschokolade Panzerschokolade apparently was never real, the picture of a bar of "Tanker's Chocolate" is a photoshop, the candy company across the top of the wrapper didn't exist until 1987, and they didn't even open a candy factory until 1999. It was actually a big thing because the implication that Zotter was providing the Nazis with chocolate gave them a negative public image. There's no primary source information regarding the existence of meth infused chocolates. No tattered wrappers in any collections or contemporary diary entries from troops at the time. Doesn't mean it was wholly invented, though, as there's tons of info regarding them issuing Pervitin to troops directly, but never in the form of a chocolate bar. There is however Fliegerschokolade, which did exist and is still sold in chocolate disks, but it is and was just caffeinated chocolate, which while that's definitely a pick-me-up for flight crews it's not quite Pervitin (amphetamines).

I’ve never understood the appeal of donating to a man who brags about his billions. He could ostensibly fund centuries of campaigns from his own pocket. I mean, some of the donors are expecting quid pro quo, which I think is stupid on multiple levels, but that’s not what motivates all of them.

I’d actually be interested if he could pull it off in his crapcan of a plane. I don’t think it’s up to a transoceanic journey, unless he bunny hops his way to Juneau or something then heads to Vladivostok.

What if you make a "sports and news twitter" where the only "blue checks" were staff verified actual media people. Like Jon Bois. Some sort of RSS feed, that you could post a nested comment tree on. Tree reply threads are awful and I hate them but people are reddit poisoned and yes I know you can't maintain linear comment BBS style beyond like 25 people per thread. What I'm saying is balkanize the internet again. Its incredibly cheap to setup the platform, and expensive to get the initial seed of content that people want to see.

Yeah, the donor thing is made up of his hyperloyalists who either think the libs are the downfall of America or that they have some civic duty to make a difference to donate to a billionaire because then he'll like them. Look at the targeted emails that were coming out around the election. "Donald was looking at the list and notices your name wasn't there!" Coasterphreak posted:I’d actually be interested if he could pull it off in his crapcan of a plane. I don’t think it’s up to a transoceanic journey, unless he bunny hops his way to Juneau or something then heads to Vladivostok. The 757 can do it. Delta and United were flying fully loaded ones across the Atlantic prior to COVID and I think United has resumed doing so. With only a couple people on board, it would presumably have more range.

No clue, I'm from Denmark so the ADA might not apply to me. Besides, it's not like Musk has let breaking all the rules stop him from doing poo poo that harms other people before. Getting a change reversed in 3 months isn't going to help me much if the seizure I get tomorrow kills me or gives me permanent brain damage.
