Kamala's campaign needs to ask for recounts, I'm convinced all sorts of shit went on in those battleground states.

surching4me.com•101 days ago

Wait! I’m making popcorn for the show!!!

gobearcats.bsky.social•101 days ago

Too late. Trump will call off the FBI investigation once he becomes POTUS again.

onemanstanding.bsky.social•101 days ago

They better make the fastest prosecution ever happen because come mid January this case will be dropped like a bad habit.

boysek.bsky.social•100 days ago

Oh, you mean Peter Thiel, who owns the next VP?

hometreez.bsky.social•101 days ago

Whoa!

tippytaff.bsky.social•100 days ago

I've got some popcorn I was worried wasn't going to be needed. Like. Ever.

Re: ... and raised $45 million led by Peter Thiel’s Founders Fund

Prediction: Trump kills the investigation that led to this FBI raid. After all Thiel is a major GOP donor who backs Project 2025 candidates and JD Vance mentor.🤷‍♀️

amirighteousnow.bsky.social•100 days ago

It will be interesting to see if anything comes of this

svenjohanson.bsky.social•100 days ago

Thiel doped the horses and knew how to bet.

The oligarchs are threatening to destroy democracy in pursuit of yet another billion dollars they will never spend.

almarie-1.bsky.social•101 days ago

Oh well

tuxedomasc.bsky.social•101 days ago

After the last week, it gives me a little satisfaction seeing some minor comeuppance for these ghouls

justmyvoice.bsky.social•101 days ago

OMG. I hope they find out something about what the hell is going on.

seattlesusieq.bsky.social•101 days ago

All investigations will come to a halt when Trump is inaugurated.

numr.bsky.social•101 days ago

The optics on this are so bad. Poor timing and poor form. Gives credence to so many. MAGA nut job conspiracy theories. Plus, why go after this startup kid when there’s so many billionaire MAGAs committing bigger crimes? Oops, must be overlapping donor lists..

annette5000.bsky.social•101 days ago

For what now, as of January we have no justice in this country

And Gaetz will make it all disappear - poof

middleoastbastard.bsky.social•101 days ago

Gaetz will never be confirmed.

Curious why he wasn’t arrested

I wrote about Polymarket CEO Shayne Coplan briefly in this piece which described the people in a photograph from July that included from front left to back right: Ken Howery, Shervin Pishevar, Shane Coplan, Donald Trump, Jr., Omeed Malik and David Sacks.

jeanie31199.bsky.social•94 days ago

Anyone involved w Thiel, Sacks, & the convicted felon who they were betting on, then projecting blame on a subsequent investigation as “partisan” is distracting from SOMETHING.

lab2.bsky.social•101 days ago

🤔 Remember Joe Rogan saying Elon had an “App” that told him ahead of time that Trump won the election?

xathian.bsky.social•100 days ago

Remember when Elon said he’d probably go to prison if Trump lost? Wonder what makes a man who hasn’t really done anything prison worthy publicly suddenly say that right before joining the Trump campaign 🤔

mrkd26.bsky.social•100 days ago

To be honest, he has done plenty of stuff that is Prison Worthy/under investigation by the DOJ.

Which was why he

- bought Twitter
- supported Trump

of course, h has also added election interference to his crimes.

But.. it may well be Trump who puts him in prison when the inevitably fall out.

Birth control round table🤢 these guys are vile.

livingstonfan.bsky.social•100 days ago

They def do not pass the “I’d like to have a beer with” test.

thereitgoes.bsky.social•100 days ago

I remember this photo. I'm glad people were paying attention.

notcribley.bsky.social•101 days ago

This investigation’s gonna disappear in about two months

itaiboublil.bsky.social•101 days ago

Don’t worry, either king Trump or queen musk will make sure this garbage walks away.

ettouslouie.bsky.social•100 days ago

Feds investigating a betting platform (backed by billionaire trump supporter) that could engineer odds in trump’s favor, illegally allowing us voters to bet on the election and possibly engaging in voter manipulation is not retribution.

lorihamilton.bsky.social•101 days ago

They did this guy’s house 2 days after election https://www.naplesnews.com/story/news/2024/11/08/alfie-oakes-trump-maga-florida-seed-table-insurrection-george-floyd/76126062007/

Aww. But he seems so nice…🙄

I will die laughing if the election got thrown in a politics betting scheme

gosolar.bsky.social•101 days ago

MAGA DOJ won't do anything

mrsmnash.bsky.social•101 days ago

I hope Theil is caught up in this somehow.

chrisbrad22.bsky.social•101 days ago

For anyone who didn’t already know that Nate Silver is a complete and utter fraud.

Wow. At least SOMEONE is doing their job.

Wow.
It is almost as if our conspiracy theories were true.

kenmurrayx4.bsky.social•101 days ago

Wonder if it's related to this.. https://www.politico.eu/article/french-regulator-opens-probe-into-election-betting-platform-polymarket/

crjcali.bsky.social•101 days ago

What's the use?
Once Trump's enters office, he'll have Gaetz shut down all the investigations.

alicethewonderdog.bsky.social•100 days ago

Another investigation that will be dropped by February

chrisbrockett.bsky.social•101 days ago

Matt Gaetz will be positioned to make sure they all get off. They have learned the lesson of Enron and don't plan to repeat it.

middleoastbastard.bsky.social•101 days ago

No, he won't.

trae74.bsky.social•100 days ago

Anyone else find it at all odd that Polymarket had the exact same map several days prior to the results? Idk, seems a bit sus to me.

trump will kill this

andersvincent.bsky.social•101 days ago

Probably a bad time for warrants resulting from the SEC's campaign against crypto, if that's what this is.

I could see someone waving a wand this winter to make all of that redefined as legal.

julie-marie.bsky.social•101 days ago

Whatever Polymarket was up to, it'll be swept under the rug.

We'll find out everything eventually because people like to talk, but there won't be any consequences for any of it.
