Y2K never happened but CrowdStrike Blows out America because to lazy to test before they deploy.
Tim Geithner is former Secretary of the Treasury under Barack Obama and now Chair of Warburg Pincus.
WARBURG CREATED CROWDSTRIKE alongside FBI executives Shawn Henry (former executive assistant director (EAD) of the FBl’s Criminal, Cyber, Response/Services Branch) and Steve Chabinsky (former deputy assistant director of the FBI’s Cyber Division).
Anthony Blinken is the current Secretary of State (Biden nominated) and his father, Donald Blinken, founded Warburg Pincus.
Shawn Henry sold over 80,000 shares of CrowdStrike ($CRWD) as their Chief Security Officer from September of 2023 until July 16th of 2024. Crowdstrike $CRWD insiders can’t sell fast enough.
Who needs ransomware criminals when you’ve got CrowdStrike crashing customers’ computers and not even charging them extra for this extra service!

If you are in a regulated industry, you are required to install something like Crowdstrike on all your machines. If you use Crowdstrike, your auditor checks a single line and moves on. If you use anything else, your auditor opens up an expensive new chapter of his book. This is correct … and guess what? This event will cause more regulation, just like the SBOM.

WE WANT BIDEN TO BE THE PRESIDENT
Pete Buttigieg-
“These are very rich men who’ve decided to back the Republican Party that tends to do good things for very rich men.”
Sec’y Pete was on Maher last nite and broke it down: rich white men are going for the party that will do the most for rich white men. Full stop.

@smc429
The dumbest thing these rich white boys ever did was divide us up in public right before the election. They made us look ununified and feel undignified as if adults don’t have the right to hold onto their candidate.
You have to wonder who they really want to win.
Tim Kaine just told us Joe is fine. Trusting Joe knows what is best for the country. Sounds like country over party.

Big donors are fucking up our game and fuck them.
Who knew Clooney, Reiner, Colbert and the others would turn out to be such a colossal letdown, holding our election process hostage with their money. It’s beyond outrageous that political leadership can be bought by donors, turning democracy into an auction.
“A house divided cannot stand.” We must unite behind Joe Biden or we will lose in November.

It’s ALWAYS about the money
If Joe didn’t want billionaires to pay their fair share…. there would be no mention of age or decline
They want to maintain their wealth and status
Dark money corrupts elections ! FYI: When you see people use the term ‘pass the torch’ and saying POTUS should drop out, they are part of a Steve Schmidt op working to get Biden out and Trump in.

I’m pissed at mainstream media, aren’t you?
Trump is deranged.
Because the American state media would never report this,
193 out of 213 House Democrats,
45 out of the 47 Democratic Senators
and all 23 Democratic Governors fully support President Biden.
That’s 91%. I’m all in.

Learning Nate Silver works for Peter Thiel is one of those things that would have shocked me in 2016 and made me wonder why I hadn’t already been assuming it in 2024.
Silver works for Thiel’s crypto-betting site “Polymarket” which says Trump has a 70% chance of winning.

Note: the BIG poll in the WSJ that kicked off the entire “Joe is too old” narrative was conducted by a guy who works for a Trump Super Pac that paid him $567,000 in 2023. He has close ties to Paul Manafort and was formerly a Trump 2016 Campaign staffer

MAGA is not the first billionaire-funded populist movement.
The Nazis had their billionaires too.
They got richer, everyone else got deader.

@TheSWPrincess
Despite calling Barron “Melania’s son”, getting JD Vance’s name wrong, confusing Nikki Haley with Nancy Pelosi and falling asleep on camera at the Republican National Convention, the media has never made a multi-week story out of questioning Trump’s cognitive abilities, energy level, or ability to do the job.
This is why so many people don’t trust the media at all.

The media is creating the narrative instead of reporting on it.
For profit.

@DarkBlue420
I’m calling for you to step aside Adam Schiff, @RepAdamSchiff and endorse Katie Porter. You’re 64 years old, near retirement age. Your cognition is in question. Katie Porter is 50, far younger, more cognizant and energetic than you. Do what’s best for California and America and step aside. Has Schiff resigned yet?

Reagan weakened workers’ protections & deregulated Wall Street to give the 1% a sugar high. Biden’s strategy provides real middle class economic stimulus. Bidenomics helps everyone, not just billionaires.

@PsychoPAC24
Pertinent excerpts from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition Text Revision (DSM-5-TR)
“We want to level the playing field on the mental states of the two candidates. Both of them are old, both of them misstate words… Here’s the real issue, [Trump] is a sociopath.”

Ruth Ben-Ghiat @ruthbenghiat
They are all afraid of him because they know he is a violent criminal connected to other criminals some of whom are heads of state. And so they are helping to elect him by normalizing him.

Mueller, She Wrote @MuellerSheWrote Jul 18
These rich assholes are trying to throw your vote out. They’re privileged elites who want to hand pick their own candidate over the will of the people. Despicable.
@RepAdamSchiff is this why you did what you did? Were you extorted?

@meiselasb
Since the media refuses to report on it, let me share what happens at a typical Trump speech:

1. He comes out to the playing of the “January 6 Anthem” song which he recorded with some of the most dangerous J6 rioters in jail.

2. He brags how his song with the J6 rioters gets more downloads than Taylor Swift (it does not)

3. He spends a few minutes talking about passing cognitive exams, and how the audience would not pass the exam, but because he is really smart (he is not) he is able to ace the exam.

4. He praises Viktor Orban, the leader of Hungary, who Trump says is the most respected leader in Europe (he is not).

5. He praises President Xi and says he is very strong and rules over 1 billion people with an iron fist and Hollywood couldn’t find an actor as tough as President Xi.

6. He praises Putin and says people say it’s a bad thing he gets along with Putin but he thinks it’s a good thing.

7. He makes weird noises reenacting lifting weights with a trans woman and he says “mommy I can’t do it. Mommy. Ughhh, uhh, mommy help me.”

8. He says he doesn’t like seeing President Biden at the beach and says he has a better body than Biden (he does not)

9. He talks about his hatred of windmills and his hatred of electric cars. He says he would rather be electrocuted than eaten by sharks however.

10. He praises the J6 insurrectionists and calls them hostages.

11. He whines about his court cases, attacks prosecutors, judges, and witnesses, and then praises “the great Alphonse Capone” and brags he was indicted more than Capone.

12. He quotes Hitler and says immigrants are poisoning the blood of our country.

13. He says he wants to be a dictator on day 1.

14. He plays QAnon music, audience members often make QAnon sign with their hands, and he talks about how America is a failing nation.

15. He does a weird dance and leaves.

@RpsAgainstTrump 74 percent of Republicans say it’s fine for Trump to be dictator for a day, a new University of Massachusetts Amherst and YouGov poll found.
Only 26% of Republicans say it would be a bad thing.

JUST IN: #Binance receives court approval to invest customer fiat funds in United States Treasury Bills.

Here’s what one Republican thought of Corporate influence in our election process.
It is NECESSARY that laws should be passed to prohibit the use of CORPORATE FUNDS directly or indirectly for political purposes; it is Still more NECESSARY that such LAWS should be thoroughly enforced.
Theodore Roosevelt

DOJ needs to be putting executives in prison. Period.
“I’m not saying we shouldn’t have deferred prosecution agreements, but they tend to be negotiated to be strongly in the interests of the defendant.” Boeing case puts a spotlight on plea agreements involving corporate defendants

J.D. Vance @JDVance1 • Apr 5, 2022
Are you a racist?
Readers added context
JD Vance’s mother utilized her position as a nurse to steal prescribed medication from her patients,
not because of undocumented immigrants.

What do you do if you’re making over $1B/year from short-term trading but want to avoid taxes? If you’re the head of one of the most profitable firms on Wall Street, you find creative ways to transform the “wrong” sort of income into the right kind.

@jimstewartson
To understand why the apartheid Nazi who defrauded his way into a quarter trillion dollars supports Trump, you need to know Musk is a Russian Cosmist who believes that the ONLY thing that matters is making humanity “multi-planetary.”
He’s willing to burn up Earth to do it.

FUNDING of KEY MAGA Networks FINALLY Gets Exposed
Perkins is the immediate past president of the Council for National Policy (CNP), the Christian Right’s umbrella. Yes, the CNP includes Heritage Foundation president Kevin Roberts & SCOTUS kingpin Leonard Leo.
On this wild episode of Coalition Of The Sane, Denver Riggleman and Bucks County Beacon writer, Jennifer Cohn walk you through the financial spider web of the far right Christian nationalist networks that fund everything from the disruption of local school boards, NAR, Project 2025, and even The United States Supreme Court itself. Where does the money come from? You’ll get specific answers to questions like : Who are the donors? Who oversees distribution? Who is in charge of each department? And the most important question…How much have they invested in Donald J. Trump?
