Sunday Morning Tabs

There is a bit of a theme.

Via RawStory: ‘This is voter fraud’: FBI alerted as Elon Musk’s mom accused of committing federal crime. The headline is hyperbolic, but still, what is wrong with these people?
Via the Daily Beast: Hines & RFK Jr. ‘Have Barely Spoken’ Since Affair News Broke. “reports saying she is more angry at his endorsement of Donald Trump for president than she is about his inappropriate relationship with Nuzzi, 31.”
Via Gizmodo: Truth Social Users Are Losing Ridiculous Sums of Money to Scams.

Jessica: If Donald Trump was being honest, he would stand up there and say, congress doesn't care about you. They just left on a six-week recess without voting to appropriate more funds to disaster relief. pic.twitter.com/dxQwa80P5n

Many years ago I heard an NPR piece on the Nigerian Prince scams where they asked an FBI agent why, given all the years this has been going on, the emails (actually a letter the first time I saw it) were still garbled and unconvincing? The agent basically said that was a feature, not a bug. They were looking for people gullible enough to eventually wire money overseas and didn’t want to waste their time with someone who would catch on after they had invested time on them. When Fox News started up it almost immediately struck me as a TV Network version of such a scam. Their programming is such that their viewership is gullible, impulsive and unable to discern fantasy from reality. Their business model is offering a target rich environment to their advertisers.

I assume that in the event of a divorce, RFK Jr. would receive full custody of the brain worm?

Elon’s mother is an average Republican.. that’s the only thing that’s wrong with her.
Half are crazier than her — and she’s openly promoting a cocktail of felony and EAIAC.

From the linked Gizmodo article:

Truth Social seems to be a target-rich environment for people who are easy to con.

In other breaking news, the Pacific Ocean is a target-rich environment for water.
