@SamplesMIA @SMB_Attorney Most likely, yes. And state Bars will probably grant bar licenses to AI agents in the future

@SMB_Attorney AI replaces paralegals and it becomes incredibly difficult to get your first job out of law school. @bwd13 right or wrong?

You guys don’t get it yet. Everyone keeps saying AI is going to replace lawyers. I don’t think people understand how this actually plays out. Let’s say you use AI to draft a contract. The contract misses something important. A year later it costs you two million dollars. What do you do? Right now, you sue your lawyer. In the AI world, you’d sue the AI company. Two things can happen. Option 1: The AI company has liability for legal advice. If that’s the case, every AI company will immediately stop letting consumers use AI for real legal work. The liability risk is massive. Option 2: The AI company has no liability because of disclaimers. If that happens, every state bar in the country will say consumers are being exposed to unregulated legal advice and call it the unauthorized practice of law. And they’ll shut it down that way. Either path leads to the same outcome. Consumer AI will be limited to generic “Wikipedia-style” legal information and LegalZoom level document prep. But the real AI tools? Those will live inside law firms. Lawyers will use them to move faster, analyze more data, and run way more matters at once. The M&A lawyer doing 5 deals at a time will do 50. Trial lawyers will run far more cases simultaneously. The idea that AI replaces lawyers probably dies. The more likely outcome is that AI supercharges the best lawyers and makes the profession even more profitable than ever.

Ok, here’s my honest take. Every piece snapping into place like clockwork. China has spent years dodging Western oil sanctions by quietly sourcing from Venezuela and Iran, keeping its economy insulated from USD pressure. Trump’s non-negotiable mission is to obliterate BRICS, bury de dollarization for good, and reinstall the USD as the unchallenged global reserve currency for the next century. To refinance America’s towering debt load he needs interest rates driven into the ground. To steamroll the 2026 midterms he needs stock markets in full blown euphoria. The cleanest, fastest way to deliver both at once? Precision geopolitical conflict that spikes energy prices, supercharges defence and industrial stocks, floods the system with liquidity, and forces every player back onto America’s chessboard. Connect the dots because they’re not random: - The US moves decisively on Venezuela, securing its enormous oil reserves, lithium, gold, and rare earth minerals. - Canada now fully aligned and openly supporting the US steps up with comprehensive diplomatic cover, logistical bases, intelligence sharing, and even limited expeditionary support. Ottawa’s move instantly locks down the entire Western Hemisphere energy corridor, creates a seamless North American fortress, and sends an unmistakable signal to every ally and adversary: “The West is unified, and America is back in charge.” China’s first major lifeline is severed overnight. - Beijing, panicked, doubles down on its Iranian supplies. - Then, literally last night, Trump green-lights “Operation Epic Fury” devastating precision strikes (with Israeli support) that target the Iranian regime’s command centers, nuclear sites, and oil infrastructure while broadcasting direct calls for the Iranian people to rise up. China’s second critical lifeline is gone in hours. That leaves only Russia. But here’s the masterstroke that’s still flying under the radar…Russia and the US I think are already in back channel talks for a historic deal on energy, trade, and security that brings Russian oil and gas flooding into Western markets. Canada’s rock solid alignment gives Trump the perfect geopolitical bridge…a bulletproof North American energy bloc plus Russian resources creating an unbreakable alliance that completely isolates China. BRICS is dead in one decisive stroke. Once China is totally cut off it has zero leverage left. Beijing will be forced to come crawling back to the United States for everything…oil, minerals, technology, and market access. Trump’s response? “Hold our debt.” America sets the terms. China is handed massive tranches of US debt at favorable rates, the dollar undergoes a controlled, orderly reset, and the entire global financial system realigns under Washington’s leadership. Central banks worldwide have been stockpiling physical gold for exactly this moment as the ultimate backstop and hedge against the transition. And here’s what happens to Bitcoin in the next phase because crypto is the missing piece that turns this from dominance into total supremacy: As the conflict premium hits energy markets and defense budgets explode, liquidity floods risk assets. Bitcoin, already positioned as digital gold and the ultimate inflation hedge, breaks out violently first surging past $200k on pure market momentum and institutional FOMO. Then, once the Russia deal is signed and the dollar reset is underway, Trump drops the bombshell…an executive order establishing a strategic US Bitcoin Reserve. Using seized Venezuelan assets and windfall revenues from the new energy alliance, America becomes the world’s largest sovereign Bitcoin holder overnight. This single move does three things at once: 1. It legitimizes Bitcoin under American control, pulling it away from Chinese mining dominance forever; 2. It gives retail and institutional investors the green light to pile in without regulatory fear; 3. It supercharges the market rally needed for midterm victories.

@SamplesMIA @KarluskaP Perfectly reasonable. She forgot step 4, pitch forks and tar and feathering.

@KarluskaP @bwd13

They want a global asset registry

@SamplesMIA @TheBTCTherapist @Beefshala Says the mad scientist!

@TheBTCTherapist @Beefshala @bwd13 quite the crescendo at the end lol

This is the craziest sh*t I’ve ever heard a CEO say in my life “Palantir is here to make the institutions we partner with the very best in the world and when it’s necessary to scare enemies and on occasion kill them and we hope you’re in favor of that.”

@JayGaddis I find this to be true more and more

Every day is an opportunity to hit reset. It can be easy to fall prey to negative thinking. Do your best to stand tall today. Get connected to at least one person. How? Get super raw and real with them. That will help you come back to yourself.

@mtaibbi Very sad to hear this news

America This Week, 4 PM Monday ET: Unsolved Stories, Elusive Reality x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

@walterkirn At a loss for words.

I didn't intend to end America This Week, suffice it to say. I'm sorry if that is the impression left by a confusing situation. I've had the time of my life doing the show and hold my friend Matt Taibbi in the highest esteem as one of the greatest journalists of our era. Truth.

Again:

Why the Somali fraud wasn't called out by more Minnesotans is clear. They're black immigrants, and critics don't want to be called racist. As a son of African immigrants, I'll say: Some cultures are incompatible. Immigrants who won't choose American culture shouldn't be here.

💯

What @nickshirleyy has done here is incredible. He has simultaneously exposed a gigantic government fraud and the uselessness of corporate media.

A year ago I would have thought this to be an overstatement. With the benefit of recent information, I have come to believe that @StephenM speaks the hard truth.

In the interest of every single person seeing this. Here is a bit of what they've done to Minnesota and what they're still doing to all of us. Who's "they?" Well it starts with a D. The people who to ran Walz for VP of the US. Of all people, right? No accident.

County Highway kicked the rocks in Minnesota back on 1 December and now the landslide is upon us. Subscribe. Help change America: CountyHighway.com

County Highways was the first publication that reported on the Somali fraud issue. One of the interesting things is that this is a meta-problem with the mainstream media. It's not what's being reported. It's what's NOT being reported. And then the inevitable question arises -- what did they know that they did not report? We need outlets like these guys.

County Highway with even fewer resources beat Rufo by a solid week and I have receipts. Our story was promoted all over Twitter. Not a secret. The fact that this hasn't been acknowledged is saddening given all this crowing abt beating the Times Here is our story from Nov 12.

@walterkirn This just in!

@walterkirn Ligurias Bakery!

The greater North Beach area in San Francisco is my favorite urban neighborhood in the US. I have concluded my long study.

@walterkirn @AmericaWeek Of Mice and Men

Anyone have a suggestion for the next novel we should discuss on @AmericaWeek ?

@walterkirn Propose Candlelight vigils on every college campus this weekend.

Charlie Kirk was 31. That's a kid to me. He was still learning and changing and he struck me as almost painfully obedient to the dictates of his conscience as they presented themselves to him. Sincere. Trying. Not a construct. No posing political hipster. Just heartbreaking.
