I frikken swear man . . . . .
Like, I get that progress stalled with whiskey and low cut blouses, but sweet God. Just because the french and italians did it first and better doesn't mean we can't steal their food along with their women.

I've seen several articles on this. That the rank and file is quickly growing tired of Musk running roughshod over everything, leaving them to deal with the angry masses while he sits back and tweets.
I'm enjoying their discomfort and I sincerely wish that they get confronted every time they show their faces.

Seriously though, where did that bit about italians come from? Like, that's a new angle to me.
For context, apparently this tweet was regarding a leaked transcript of an NSA chat room for trans staffers.
It sucks that chat they no doubt thought was private has been made public and is now being used by the right as an attack vector.

If there was ever a reason to never engage beyond the mandated minimum of any work related chat or online forum . . . .
The company I work for has a discord. As part of my job, I am required to be a part of it. So I am, but aside from monitoring it, I keep my damn virtual mouth shut. There is no good reason to participate beyond the requirements.

First, I don't know why this still needs to be said, but never, ever, ever, ever, ever use work equipment for sex stuff. It never ends well. There's absolutely no reason you can't wait until after hours to use your own personal PC or phone on an internet connection that's not paid for by your employer to get your e-freak on.

Second, that article doesn't provide any more insight as to why Italians were attacked. Is it because the Pope, the head of Catholicism, lives in Italy?

That article got me to re-read the text of the tweet, and... somehow the bit about Italians makes even less sense. He's not bashing them; he's accusing the trans community of hating them.

I tracked down the origin of the Italian comment in a screenshot of the chat posted to Twitter by Rufo, and as I suspected, it's a random comment by one person in the chat taken out of context. They were discussing the idea of the Jewish community expelling Ben Shapiro for being a terrible person and one participant comments "I'm Irish- and Italian-American, so I'm used to sharing an ethnicity with terrible people."

As far as I can tell, that's the entire context for the comment about them hating Italians.

It's the House. There's so many of them they can drop stuff like that to show Trump they're willing to play ball, and distract the media(from something more important typically), and once it's all past it'll be forgotten about by the public. It's never meant to actually pass.

Maybe it's because Columbus Day (and the myth of Columbus being one of the only people in his time who thought the Earth was round) was made up by Italian Americans, and nobody who isn't a bigot likes Columbus?

There must be more damning stuff in those files than we thought. And everyone knows there's damning stuff in there.

At this point, the only logical explanation for why the files haven't been found and leaked by some agent of chaos, if nothing else, is that they've done such a thorough job ensuring that only people who are willing to help them with the coverup are allowed anywhere within the halls of government.

You know how gangs have initiation rituals where they have to gun down some random innocent in cold blood so that you can't ever go to the cops without there being a capital crime they can pin on you too? I think Epstein really was the ringleader of a secret cabal of the rich and powerful who have the power to decide who does and does not get to be somebody important in this country, and that they had a similar thing going on. You want to be a somebody? You have to visit his mansion and screw a kid. Just once, just to make sure you can't ever rat on them without being on the list yourself.
