The banks who lent Musk the money (and most of the purchase price was borrowed)  must be in near-panic. This may have been a bridge too far for Musk. Hubris will out.

They just pass this loss onto their customers. We're just lucky the Canadian banks didn't go in for the ponzi scheme.

Sweetheart dealings with the Trump klepto-empire cost almost all of the Deutsche Bank's upper management their jobs and careers. Any lender who did not foresee this deserves to suffer the same fate.

Whatever people want to say about for some reason he always skates, gets away with anything he wants. For what he has done with assaults and fraud and stealing documents he always gets away with it, anyone else who would of done 1 of those 3 would be in jail for a long long time.

Musk Restores Trump's Twitter Account After Online Poll

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Elon Musk reinstated Donald Trump’s account on Twitter on Saturday, reversing a ban that has kept the former president off the social media site since a pro-Trump mob attacked the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, as Congress was poised to certify Joe Biden’s election victory.

Musk made the announcement in the evening after holding a poll that asked Twitter users to click “yes” or “no” on whether Trump’s account should be restored. The “yes” vote won, with 51.8%.

“The people have spoken. Trump will be reinstated. Vox Populi, Vox Dei,” Musk tweeted, using a Latin phrase meaning “the voice of the people, the voice of God.”

Trump, and Republicans. mob rule.  fascism. Maybe Garland hesitates because he reasonably fears violence against himself.

"A top Maricopa County election official has been moved to an undisclosed location over safety concerns following the midterm elections. Maricopa County Supervisor Bill Gates confirmed on Sunday that he was transferred and provided a security detail after workers at the Arizona county elections office faced months of escalating death threats that made it increasingly difficult to do their job. Gates, a Republican, has faced particular backlash as a vocal critic of false election claims spurred by Trump’s election denialism in 2020."

Democrats Give Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts An Ultimatum.  Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse and Rep. Hank Johnson ordered the chief justice to name someone who can testify on the court’s ethics scandals.

Top Democrats on the House and Senate Judiciary Committees demanded on Sunday that Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts comply with their investigation into the court’s refusal to abide by ethics laws.

And if the court continues to suggest it’s not serious about policing itself, Congress will step in, warned the joint letter from Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.), and Rep. Hank Johnson (D-Ga.), chairs of the subcommittees overseeing the federal judiciary in their respective chambers.

“If the Court ... is not willing to undertake fact-finding inquiries into possible ethics violations that leaves Congress as the only forum,” they wrote.

The letter came a day after The New York Times reported that Justice Samuel Alito leaked the outcome of a 2014 decision in the case of Hobby Lobby v. Burwell. Alito reportedly spoke about the decision ahead of its release to Supreme Court Historical Society donors who were part of an influence operation led by a former conservative evangelical leader, Rev. Rob Schenck.

The two lawmakers firmly stated Congress’ right to investigate the court and demanded Roberts provide information related to the influence operation run by Schenck through his Faith & Action group.

They also demanded information about Schenck’s letter to Roberts in July disclosing that he learned about the Hobby Lobby outcome days before it came down from one of his volunteers after she attended a dinner with Alito and his wife. Schenck sent his letter as part of the court’s investigation into the leak of the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision that overturned Roe v. Wade. Alito, who authored both the Dobbs and Hobby Lobby decisions, denied leaking the Hobby Lobby outcome.

Go full court press on this band of hooligans hiding behind their fake cloak of blind justice, letter of the law, non-partisan and independence.

But more than likely all that will happen is a lot of pounding on desks, speeches that no one listens to and a few I demand tweets as these individuals laugh it up behind closed doors, pushing their extreme ideologies on whoever they want thru their rulings.

From the Canadian Press:

“The Chrisleys have built an empire based on the lie that their wealth came from dedication and hard work,” prosecutors wrote in a pre-sentencing court filing. “The jury's unanimous verdict sets the record straight: Todd and Julie Chrisley are career swindlers who have made a living by jumping from one fraud scheme to another, lying to banks, stiffing vendors, and evading taxes at every corner.”

Hmmmm. This sounds like another well-known family of grifters we all love and adore especially while they occupied the White House. 

But hey Garland great job at appointing a special counsel to continue to sell to the public how complex this investigation is when in fact it has nothing to do with that, it has to do with who it is. Unbelievably maddening.

I'm sorry but I agree with the sentiment the most dangerous person currently in the United States of America is Merrick Garland.

Quote

The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday cleared the way for the imminent handover of former president Donald Trump's tax returns to a congressional committee after a three-year legal fight.

The court, without comment, rejected Trump's plea for an order that would have prevented the U.S. Treasury Department from giving six years of tax returns for Trump and some of his businesses to the Democratic-controlled House ways and means committee.

The House contended an order preventing the Internal Revenue Service from providing the tax returns would leave lawmakers "little or no time to complete their legislative work during this Congress, which is quickly approaching its end."

Had Trump persuaded the nation's highest court to intervene, he could have run out the clock on the committee, with Republicans ready to take control of the House in January. They almost certainly would have dropped the records request if the issue had not been resolved by then.

Another L for that bloated orange pustule.
