As my colleague Bonchie reported, Axios reporter Sara Fischer appeared on CNN to complain about President Trump having an unfettered microphone with Elon Musk on X.
The Monday night conversation hails Trump’s return to the X (formerly Twitter) platform where he was unceremoniously booted almost four years before, and it has the entire legacy media complex shook.
(Snip)
My Twitchy colleague PolitiBunny is quite correct. They despise the fact that they are on the outside looking in. You can hear the sarcasm dripping from Fischer’s voice when she says, “Online fringe.” This online fringe she dismisses represents a YUGE and probably untapped voting bloc.
The “edgelord influencers,” make up a young and MALE segment of voters who have huge online followings, eschew TikTok, and promote alpha males. Trump and his VP running mate JD Vance have been speaking to these influencers and appearing on their podcasts and shows, so who knows how many have tuned in Monday night? So far, over 30 million people (and counting) have already plugged into Trump’s X conversation with Musk.

“an “iron curtain” has descended across the continent“
Have they blamed it on the Iranians yet?
Speaking of the monarchy, an interesting link....

BTW, note the timing on that court ruling regarding prorogation.
Handy for their Deep State, wasn’t it.
Bet it’s not Chuck they’re worried about...
The US Deep State is doing the same, but has to be careful about getting things riled up to the point where outside of DC, a rifle is behind every blade of grass.
They have the same worry as their EU counterparts: a lot of the population is either jaded or distracted by happy talk/entertainment, but unfettered information might start sinking in...then come the ants in the movie "A Bug's Life", and the respective Deep States are the grasshoppers.
“I don’t understand why the UK doesn’t just lock-out the world Internet, like China.”
Give it a couple of weeks. By the way, China does allow VPNs, otherwise foreign businesses couldn’t operate there. But VPNs have IP Addresses, so if a Chinese citizen goes to one of those addresses, like the UK (soon), he’ll also get a knock on the door and likely get to meet the Weegers.

That’s good.
“then come the ants in the movie “A Bug’s Life”, and the respective Deep States are the grasshoppers.”
Europe, didn't you read the terms of service (Bill of Rights) before signing on?
DDOS? Yep. Watched the struggle last night. Musk’s crew seemed to be able to neutralize it.
Fed Gov is afraid.
Bump.
Elections are near, Remember ALL in November.
Elon asks, “do you have a copy of the criteria?” Little Thierry replies “we will decide once we listen…”.
Thomas Paine was not a moderate either.

One great link deserves another! :-)

He won last time.
We need to secure our elections.
If you’re able-bodied, refuse to vote early or by mail.
Get your butt to the polls on Election Day.
Voting early and/or by mail gives aid and comfort to our common enemy.
Refuse to do it.
Thanks for link.
Had not read that.
But he was right about England.
They are trying to shove their old ways upon the world again.
They can forget that crap.
I agree. The conversation between Elon and Trump was excellent. At the end, they also mentioned doing this again, which is a great idea.
“They don’t want people to realize that there could be a better way.”
In the fight against the rising fascism in the West, this may have been the most momentous event to date.
