    I do understand.

    He’s protected by other pedophiles throughout government and its financiers, they’re colluding. (bOtH sIdEs)

    Trump’s not even the big fish.

    So obviously a lot of fools that can’t connect the obvious dots are going to say ALLEGED pedophile. Ok, fine. However, he is an adjudicated rapist. So you can say that in the U.S. being an actual rapist doesn’t bring down a president and have it be 100% undeniably true.

    The bar has been lowered. Severely. And the only way to raise that bar again is to bring justice to the rapist desecrating the office of the presidency.

    I mean, we really ought to just never have a president again. Too much power concentrated in one place.

      The US should have a leader who is technically the head of the country but whose powers are basically ceremonial. He should swear in the leader of the house, appoint certain high-ranking officials (on the consent of the house leader) and sign laws into effect. He could be the one sent to other countries as a representative of the USA, and he’d be welcomed with red carpets, etc. But, he couldn’t actually enter any negotiations or anything. He could even wear a military uniform to look extra cool.

      In short, the US should have a King.

        There are plenty of parliamentary republics (Germany, Italy, Austria, India, Ireland, Israel) where the president has mostly ceremonial and representative duties

        No need to revert back to monarchy.

      I think we’d be a lot better off if we had staggered nationwide elections for individual cabinet posts and let them run the country.

  • Because the circumstances of the CEO affair are inconvenient to the shareholders.

    PS: Three! Three Hwang-mistresses so far, ah… ah… ah…

    When it comes the Republican party here in the States, they only posture and clutch pearls only when a Democrat is scandalous. When Roy Moore and and Matt Gaetz were discovered _preying on underage teens, they didn’t even blink.

    The Democratic party cuts into its own when there are sex scandals, even when it’s grownup matters, like harassment of staffers or prior colleagues.

      Ha, that’s just goofy.

      See Epstein files for details. What we have seen (like flight logs) proves you wrong.

      Biden didn’t do a thing.

      (Bill Clinton, Dershowitz, Senator Glenn, and many others. Trump was just one of many)

    It’s not about having a mistress. Huang is successfully controlling the narrative which is the actual shocker. Do people even realize Elon fucking Musk… exists?! You know, as in being a CEO of SpaceX and Tesla? The guy has more children with affairs than he attends board meetings and nobody ever cared.

    It was never about that at all for Huang but about illegally smuggling hardware into China, cozying up to Trump and the Democrats subsequently sweeping the midterms. He fears for a harsh sentence under a different president so he wants this to be over quickly and get a pardon. It’s blatantly obvious he controls the narrative to different affairs as soon as people start asking the actual questions and it’s painful to see people falling for it.

    Easy.

    A CEO is accountable to shareholders. A president is accountable to no one (at least while in office, per SCOTUS).

    Alternatively, the CEO affects investments; a president is the investment.

    A crime syndicate depends on everyone being on the same page about quid pro quo and being okay with corruption. If anyone defects, then the syndicate fails, hence why anyone who has second thoughts dips out asap and usually quietly, lest they incur the wrath of the insiders.

    Trump’s open crookedness is a beacon for other psychopaths that says, “Open for Business.”

    Trade secrets being given to China means stock will inevitably go down, so this is about that and not really the adultery itself.

    In both cases, it’s profit greed over morality.

    An errant CEO can cost billionaires the value of their precious stock portfolio. Such a person must be fired. Fucking kids, however, can get many of them sent to jail; therefore all the other billionaire pedophiles must be protected so no one will confess who they fucked kids with… or ate them, or snuffed them, or whatever else they get off on.

    WTF would she spy out? Everyone and their dog is pushing flavours of AI. I’m not sure there are any proprietary secrets left to protect anymore. Just more theater. Now, if you want to be shocked by someone’s sexual activity, release the trump/epstein files! You’ll be amazed at exactly how disgusted you will feel if you knew.

      Nvidia is by far the most important hardware producer for AI components, even AMD is barely worth mentioning as competition. They have truckloads of trade secrets for both their consumer and business grade hard- and software.

      Currently China doesn’t seem to be able to compete on a technical level with nvidia. If they get these secrets then building up hardware production that outscales nvidia by a factor of ten would be pretty easy for China.
