    Just imagine what kind of kompromat they have on him, knowing how shameless and openly grotesque he is… I mean, many Americans love him for all of it so it would have to be at least something involving kids and probably murder too to keep him this obedient. Has to be.

      At this point all they really have to have is any visible leverage over his businesses. Which they’ve had for years, he’s just clueless.

      It doesn’t have to be depravity, the answer is right there in self-interest

        He’s been laundering money for them over several decades, according to Craig Unger. His entire “business model” is based around this. Essentially, nothing he has ever done wouldn’t be kompromat for any normal American.

      All they would have to have is a copy of what Bongino and Patel are currently, at this very moment, scrubbing out of existence:

      Extensive documentation of all the fucked up shit Trump got up to with his best friend Jeffery Epstein.

      Even the Magatards are now beginning to call bullshit on … hey wait a minute, you guys said you’d release the files, where are they?

      Oh, oh, there’s nothing there huh, wow yeah sure.

      … Perhaps at some point they will be able to collapse their cognitive dissonance and realize that Trump is massively connected to Epstein, and maybe even further conspiracize that Trump played a role in why Epstein uh…

      checks notes

      … hanged himself in his own cell with bed sheets… from the bottom bunk… by tying the sheets around the frame, and his neck, kneeling on the ground, leaning forward and thus asphyxiating himself and lacerating his neck…

      …yeah he did that so hard that he fractured his hyoid bone in 3 places, and did all this when his bunkmate was absent for unclear reasons, the guards were asleep, and the cameras were off for no apparent reason, only for a brief period of time when the ‘suicide’ took place.

      more depth on the Epstein 'suicide' nonsense

      Like, I am not gonna say its 100% impossible for him to have died in this way… but… it generally isn’t possible for a person to drown or hang themselves unless they are actually physically restrained or disabled or sufficiently crippled from being able to abort the procedure… your survival instinct almost always kicks in and says ‘nope fuck this i wanna live’ and you scramble to undo your situation.

      Also, the fractures do not make sense for a suicide.

      https://lawandcrime.com/exclusive/exclusive-never-before-seen-autopsy-photo-of-jeffrey-epsteins-broken-bones-released/

      Renowned forensic pathologist Dr. Michael Baden has provided Law&Crime with an exclusive, never-before-seen photograph from the autopsy of dead sex offender and pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

      Baden was asked about the multiple fractures in Epstein’s neck during his Wednesday afternoon appearance on the Law&Crime Network. He said those fractures more likely evidenced homicide than suicide.

      “This usually does not happen in suicidal hangings because the ligature goes up under the mandible–the jaw bone–which is a tough bone,” he said. “It doesn’t fracture. In manual strangulation–or ligature strangulation–fractures can occur.”

      Those three fractures are extremely unusual in suicidal hangings and could occur much more commonly in homicidal strangulation. I’ve not seen in 50 years where that occurred in a suicidal hanging case.

      EDIT: well well fucking god DAMN WELL WELL WELL!

      Elon has decided to go nuclear.

      Yes, this is real.

      Deploy popcorn, stat!

      EDIT 2, i did not bring enough popcorn

      https://www.axios.com/2025/06/05/musk-trump-impeachment

      The intrigue: Ian Miles Cheong, a prominent Musk supporter and right-wing activist on X, tweeted:

      “President vs Elon. Who wins? My money’s on Elon. Trump should be impeached and JD Vance should replace him.”

      Musk responded to Cheong: "Yes."
      When another follower suggested they could finally be honest about the stupidity of Trump's tariffs, Musk posted: "The Trump tariffs will cause a recession in the second half of this year."
      

      Holy fucking shit.

      This nasty breakup is apparently currently on going… Trump had, today, a press event… where upon finishing giving a bit of a speech/ramble, he just basically said ‘thanks press ok bye bye now’, press begins shouting questions about Elon going nuclear, feed to all the microphones gets cut as cameras are still rolling and all the journos are being forces out of the room.

      Gonna need more popcorn.

          Apparently Twitter is starting to crash somewhat due to the number of people popping in to watch this unfold in realtime, and of course also chime in.

          Steve Banon has apparently called for Elon to be deported.

          yee fucking haw!

    Because the FBI doesn’t answer to the president. It answers to the constitution of the United States.

    Trump’s official influence is limited and he knows it.

    Also they may have kinda investigated him and this ilk… A few… Dozen? Times.

      In practice, the FBI answers to their top dog, Kash Patel, who was appointed by Trumplethinskin and confirmed by the Senate. :/

        Exactly. The capitalists have plenty of money to keep the FBI away from their own illegal activities. He hates the FBI on principle, because he is convicted felon.

        i don’t understand - true (late stage/elderly/aged) capitalists are fascist because fascism is what it takes to keep a dying capitalist class alive after it “peacefully” extracted all it can from the working class.

        the kgb is the fbi is the kgb as they are all arms of a state trying to make its bones via capitalism.
