Trump has already been spitballing military intervention in Mexico "to fight the cartels", like we don't already provide Mexico with a ton of anti-insurgent trainers and totally-not-special-ops guys who totally do not do violence in-country.

Ahh yes, the Medvedev route.

Don't forget the part where they go fight TV in space.

RFK Jr tried this before in 2022. He's been trying to get the FDA to revoke approval for the vaccine, probably to snowball it into "we need to revoke all vaccine approvals".

I'm gonna put on my tinfoil hat and say "he's not the guy". My guess is they found someone who LOOKS like him, and want to fasttrack the case to calm the investor class down. Look at the big "therapy" call Kathy Hochul just put together with a bunch of NY CEOs - they're terrified. 9/11 proved to them they aren't invulnerable to random acts of violence, and now this proves to them they're not even UNTOUCHABLE by someone committed. They're asking for state-level protections, National Guard-style stuff IIRC, round-the-clock guards at their houses and workplaces. This is conjuring up the early 1900s again, when ACTUAL anarchists and socialists simply shot the owner of the factory in the head at his home, or at his job, or tried to bomb them on their way to get lunch.

Commit one crime at a time. Trying to break this is what has gotten many big fish.

Remember, they picked up Capone on tax evasion.

And more importantly, KEEP DOING THAT. Sometimes, these collection agencies are scummy as fuck. I had an agency try to collect four times for the exact same ambulance bill. Same account number and everything, and I had records from my insurance that they had paid for the agreed amount and closed the account.

It's New York, they could easily go pretty much anywhere without being clocked as anything weird.

While this is true, I don't think the rest of South and Latin America would have illusions about the US just stopping with Venezuela once we've finished our 3-day special military operation there. I hold no illusions about them being able to STOP the US military, but I also believe that a coalition military could definitely draw us into a long and bloody conflict there, to say nothing of potential partisan forces.

This is exactly my thought. C-levels are going to want competent security and not Rent A Cops, which costs. Companies which provide those services already charge a decent chunk of change for it, and the rates will likely go through the roof now. Additionally, I think they'll find that these "security consultants" will suggest absolutely unacceptable lifestyle changes for them to minimize areas of concern. Much easier to secure a house than a whole nightclub, or golf course.

Specifically, he thought the trustee should have allowed the other LLC (which is totally not affiliated with him yet only exists to shelter his supplement business) more time to counteroffer.
