"Seeing Donald Trump get up after getting shot in the face and pump his fist in the air with the American flag is one of the most badass things I've ever seen in my life."

"But look, as an American, it's, like, hard not to get emotional about that spirit and that fight. And I think that's why a lot of people like the guy."

Said Mark Zuckerberg, who's not endorsing anyone this time around.

If the king of the lizards can see it, why can’t MSNBC?

I don't care about who Mark Zuckerberg endorses.

I worry about who his money is working for.

Then who is funding the election stealing?

Cenk Uygur said something very similar.

Right now you are separating out the people who are smart enough to know it is over and you don't want to go there.

These people are ready to take the L and try again in 4 years.

The preference cascade is beginning. First, Musk endorsed Trump.

Althouse hasn’t endorsed, but she’s flipped in attitude. Six months ago she wished Trump would drop out of the race and exit public life.

The “Only dumb rubes and racists with pickup trucks support Trump,” meme has just about died, and the hoaxes and lies will start dying out as a result.

Unless he qualified the badass statements with some Trump hate he’s going to catch hell from the people he steals elections with…

I think there are a lot of people who are not getting what they wanted out of the Biden Regime.

There is another group that doesn't want to risk being on the losing side of history.

Zuckerburg is smart enough to know he is going to be directly compared and contrasted with Elon Musk.

They are looking at this on a different level than most.

Saint Croix বলেছেন...

Somehow Trump has normalized Zuckerberg.

Strange!

I think that the cascade started when they raided mara-lago.

At that point the 75 million that voted for Trump in 2020 put their foot down and said FU to everyone else.

Ever since then the Regime has lashed out in increasingly destructive, vicious and escalating ways.

And with every escalation as they get increasingly more isolated and they lose more people.

The raid on Mara-Lago made it clear Trump supporters would not abandon him. I want to thank Ron Desantis for making his fecklessness and betrayal obvious at that point.

It has been downhill for the haters and fascists ever since.

I agree that this looks like a conversion. Interesting. Maybe the money to steal this election will run out.

Blogger has tried twice to delete this.

I'm going with incompetence over malicious intention when it comes to Blogger. Boy, is it an annoying piece of crap software, though.

Zuckerberg money? This is the part in a revolution where some elites realize that they're backing the wrong team.

If Zuckerberg is striking his colors, seemingly unfazed about retaliation from Team Rat, then the deadenders have to be very worried indeed. The oligarchs most in hock to the Epstein crowd have nowhere to go: either they deliver a win, or they can expect to get crushed by Trump. There will be suicides: there will be more attempts.

But it won't be as bad as I thought, now.

Mike (MJB Wolf) বলেছেন...

Just seeing them acknowledge reality, venture outside their reflexively anti-Trump bubbles is heartening. Take the tiny wins when you get 'em.

Enigma বলেছেন...

Republicans have not forgotten 2020's "Zuckerbucks" and his aggressive election interference. He's now trying to avoid prosecution and having Meta sliced into 100 parts per anti-trust laws. Zuckerberg has always been one of the dirtiest tech executives out there. He was the hand-picked protégé of the equally dirty Bill Gates.

Do not forget that Gates was a 1990s target of anti-trust laws and lost. After being a playboy with luxury sports cars and affairs, Gates "rehabilitated" by funding stuff of interest to anti-trust law enforcers: MSNBC, Slate, and green initiatives.

Why so bad now though? Is it the increasingly neutral-to-Trump tone of the blog host? This disappearing act (I think) never happened when Althouse as highly skeptical about Trump.

Night Owl বলেছেন...

Zuckerberg just proved he's not a robot.

My sister, who is not a Trump supporter, also had to admit it was "bad ass" of Trump. She used the exact same phrase.

Curious George বলেছেন...

I like that he described it as "getting shot in the face...makes it sound even more bad ass.

RCOCEAN II বলেছেন...

Zuckerberg censored Trump for years after January 6th 2021. In fact, they just let him back on the Facebook platform. He's currently spending millions to repeat 2020 with ballot drop-boxes and get out the Democrat vote.

I dont know what this guy has to do before conservatives start disliking him. He's not our friend. No matter what he says at the moment.

RCOCEAN II বলেছেন...

I was just reading on twitter the emails between facebook and the Biden Administration. Facebook was working with Biden's DHS/FBI to censor conservatives, Trump supporters, and anyone else Joe Biden and his gang didn't like.

Zuckerberg probably has to punch a few Conservatives in the face on TV before Conseradummies wise up.

Jamie বলেছেন...

I said this on the night-of: a friend who absolutely hates Trump nevertheless said that from here on out, there will have to be a member of his security detail assigned just to carry around the stool to support Trump's gigantic balls.

This friend used to work in Colombia and at one point had a gun at his head, so I consider him better able to judge the size of said balls than most of us.

There is going to be a lot of effort going towards detecting and removing bot activity as we move forward.

Electricity and server space and bandwidth are going to be increasingly diverted to Machine Learning model training.

It is not that easy to detect bot activity and they are guessing. I have noticed that if I fire off 2 or 3 replies in a quick fashion things start disappearing.

My guess is there is a moving average value in a ML regression that assigns a value to every poster/IP based on a series of behaviors. They are watching certain behaviors and some behaviors will be assigned more weight. If your score gets too high you get attention.

Several quick posts is a behavior that makes sense to watch for.

I would also guess VPN users and incognito browsers get extra points.

Jamie বলেছেন...

It is now my hope that tech guru to tech guru, Musk puts Zuck on notice that he, and we, are paying attention.

Come on down. Join the smart rubes who love blacks and Jews. All it takes is the courage to love people and find out how much good they have to offer you.

I am viewing this as the surrender of an enemy during a war.

After we balled you up and stuck you in a corner you got to stay there if you recognized your place after you stop fighting.

The Taliban were a bunch of fucked up perverts. There are a variety of reasons to purge them from humanity rampant child rape being at the top of the list. Hamas is on the same list as the Taliban.

Other than that Al quaeda, sadr city tribes people, and the haqqanis and I think back about that and I could see myself not hating them under different circumstances. I doubt I would hate either Russian or Ukrainian soldiers. Palestinians belong in this group.

Right now that is the division I am looking at. If they want to give up and go sit in the corner for 4 years I am good with that as long as there are consequences for those that directly attacked the system.

But people that keep fighting after this point and keep denying the humanity of Trump and his supporters are joining the taliban and hamas. The scum that tried to kill trump almost got thousands if not millions of people killed.

It's pretty simple. Zuckerberg cares who will be in charge of the Anti-Trust Division after the election and does not want to tick that person off. Be doesn't care a fig about "bad ass."

I think Achilles is right.

They’re lining up for the lifeboats.

If Zuckerberg isn't going to be putting $400M into election-fixing this time (was that the amount?), that's significant.

True OG Mike, but the Feds are doing what he did in 2020 now.

He's been desperately trying to change his own nerdly image. He knows it ain't easy.
Still a snake though.

Cacimbo বলেছেন...

Agree with those who say this is just Zuckerberg realizing Trump will probably win and trying to get in his good graces because he fears the retribution he deserves.

"True OG Mike, but the Feds are doing what he did in 2020 now."

Yeah. Hopefully those efforts are performed with the same effectiveness exhibited in Butler, PA last Saturday.

Do soldiers get to choose who they fight when they're in the army? Then again, I sympathize. I hate very few people. I'd take the view of the Americans in France or the Russians in Ukraine: if you're just some poor fool who doesn't have the stomach for it, poor you, let's get you to the POW area.

But if you're a black uniform goosestepper or have tats proclaiming your love for the bad guys? Hard luck for you, boy.

Mike of Snoqualmie বলেছেন...

Mark Zuckerbot bribed election officials in 2020 via his NGO. The NGO told local officials to do it his way or no bucks. Very definition of a bribe.

Fred Drinkwater বলেছেন...

Zuck says "But look, as an American, it's, like, hard not to get emotional about that spirit and that fight."

Political maneuvering asude, this phrasing is a tell.

An actual American would have said "it's natural to", not "it's hard not to"

Zuckerberg should go to Germany where he can repeat his favorite activity: Kissing the ass of Merkel, an actual fascist.

I chose. I wasn't even young at that point.

Just stupid.

I knew I was looking for Al Queda and the Taliban. I always hoped they would just reach for a gun. Run towards something. At least at the start for the first few deployments.

Last deployment we went out to a compound right on the Pakistan border. I was an attachment with a more specific job that wasn't entirely necessary on this mission because we knew where we were going so I was on the back side and I posted up on a couple doors to mud huts while assault cleared. Once everything was secured I had a job so waited until then and pulled security.

A fucking kid busts out of one of the doors and starts running towards where the women were being secured on the other side of us. He was taller than me but probably mid teens super skinny. I checked him and knocked him down knocking the wind out of him and kinda held him there but I absolutely should have just shot him. We were about 5 meters from the doors so it probably wouldn't have mattered but still I should have shot him. I felt bad. Everyone at our blocking position just looked at each other. I apologized.

He was borderline old enough to get zip tied balled up and stuck with the men. We let him go be with his mom. I don't remember if that was a dry hole.

The shit was just fucked up. All of it.

I hate the Taliban though. They are a perverted child rape sex cult. Most Afghani's don't really like them. I cannot believe that country had modern colleges in the 70's.

Jimmy বলেছেন...

Seems like the pond scum realize things are changing, and want to be on the winning side. Sure Zuk, no problem. But first the Trump DOJ is going to destroy you, your fortune, and FB for bribery and election interference. then we can be great friends again.

Aggie বলেছেন...

It looks like Zuckerberg has been taking some 'human' lessons, to blend in better. Did the interviewer ask him directly, why he wasn't 'doing anything this election'?
