And have since pretty much quit.

"You cannot go on these unhinged rants against administration officials and the President of the United States."
Why the hell not? It's not exactly Romanian-style -- although maybe one of these days.

Perhaps someone -- no idea at all who that could actually matter -- needs to share that message with I.C.E. and the Trump administration.

And more to come no doubt.

You mean that it's so FEW countries so far?

Isn't Miller making a gang hand sign there?

What nonsense. Most of the guns belong to the MAGA or the MAGA-wannabes. IF they were going to shoot at anybody, it would be the protesters.

I've lived in the South most of my life and I've paid attention. I've never witnessed a group of white people so totally obsessed with sexuality as the SBC.

We may all be obliged to really pick a side in material ways sooner than we expected.

5 people were killed at the Boston Massacre that fired the revolution. How many will it take this time?

Adn for God's sake keep him far away from J.D. Vance -- the real deal in "blood and soil" ideas.

Probably good that someone is keeping an eye on him.

Would the same be true if everybody simply voted at all?
(My bet, sadly, is no. The American people do get the government they deserve even with our sad "system.")

To quote somebody famous, the goal is not to understand it, but to change it.

I'm old and have NO IDEA who "Joe Rogan" is, or why anybody should care. Think I read he was big with incels?
Can somebody tell me if I need to find out more about him? What's his thing?

He isn't a nazi. He shares a bone-deep politics of resentment with them, but he is uniquely American in believing that "his people" (white, less educated) are the victims of class repression. He is the real deal "blood and soil" revenge-seeker.

Echoing Scarlet O'Hara, Trump says "As God is my witness, I will have more money than Elon by 2028!"

No, the problem is that women don't recognize the latest episode of the Musk/Trump show as a form of reality TV.

What was all this drama supposed to be distracting us from? I missed it. Or was it just another "push Tesla stock to a low, buy, end "feud", watch Tesla stock recover, sell" scam?

Can you seriously NOT SEE that this is all theater? You all are letting Trump/Musk p;ay you for idiots.

Not weird at all in Republicanland.

Very good! Now do one about who voted at all and who didn't by education.

Yet he does all three as a matter of course.

Yes, J.D. Vance is the real deal "blood and soil" fascist. A genuinely frightening person dedicated to delivering revenge for all the abuses he believes "his people" (white, hillbilly as featured in his book) have suffered at the hands of "the elite."

Coming soon from your friendly Republican party: cut-off ages for Social Security (82) and medicare (80). They'll call it the "Useless Eater's BIll."

Another pump-and-dump operation?

Hard to shake the feeling that this is all just theater designed to distract us from whatever new outrage the Republicans are busily chasing.
Check back in ten days and see if the "attack" hasn't vanished.

Check back in ten days when this show will be over and we will all have been distracted from some new act of Republican rape and pillage.

The U.S. manufactured banana is far superior in every way to the others -- but we need a tariff regime to protect our banana factories from all the other countries that for too long have been allowed to take advantage of our country with their cheap rip-off "grown" kind!
MAGA!

Good idea. Will do.

You can if you force foreign businesses to build their banana factories in America! Given a level playing field, American workers can build bananas better than anyone else in the world!

Pooinit taken. But let's check back in ten days and see if any of this "feud" is still going on.

Don't you mean "the Donald?"

That probably says more about American voters than it does about Elon Musk.

"You know I'm going to have to say some bad things about you Don -- just to appease the libtards that have stopped buying my cars and my stock."
"Sure Elon -- let me know how I can help. Would a few
nasty "Truths" be useful?"
"That would be GREAT Don. You're a good friend..."

Here's a little more truth: the debt has many "causes," two big ones being both a broken tax policy and an unrealistic Social Security approach. And the day of reckoning is coming sooner that any of us like to think about.
comment in response to
post
Yes, in part. Default on a debt as massive as ours is going to make for some very unhappy and well-armed people.

Wow!
It's a LOAD OFF MY MIND that Donald Trump will be representing my country in a face-to-face with Xi.
comment in response to

He is speeding the day of economic reckoning. And maybe that's not an altogether bad thing. Time for the American people to focus on a fair sharing of the pain rather than an unfair sharing of the wealth.

And don't forget "principle character syndrome." The need to be the most important character on the stage.

OK -- but Musk is right about the Big Bill and the national debt implications it carries. Wrong about the remedy, but right about the disease.
A responsible government would be preparing the people for what lies ahead, rather than making it worse or denying it.
comment in response to

Musk is right about the Big Bill and the debt. But if he really gave a damn about the country, he would be helping to prepare the people for the coming (soon) economic winter.
