With the robotaxi narrative now revealed to be such obvious bullshit, get ready for the next narrative: it’s all about Optimus and the robots. Adam Jonas has already started.

He never tells us what the plan is on anything because there is no plan. But two things we know for sure: 1. Whatever happens that is good news will always be a result of the master plan we were not told about. 2. Whatever happens that is bad news will be Biden’s fault.

1/ Musk, the Universe's all-time beneficiary of subsidies, mandates, & other governmental largesse, is suddenly celebrated for pointing out what serious people have been saying for 40 years, while ignoring how he helped get us here.

This devastating Substack post by Georgetown Law Professor @stevevladeck.bsky.social ought to cause Samuel Alito discomfort whenever he sees the word “Justice” in front of his name. He doesn’t deserve what that honorific implies.

Somewhat ironic that the least qualified, most unfit and incompetent Sec of Defense in American history is the one who abolished DEI.

The day after the election, I rewatched every policy promise Trump made on videos he posted on his campaign website. There were 93 total. Here is my Day 90 scorecard on those he has kept and broken. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

Who do you blame for the war? Trump: “Joe Biden” Why is Russia murdering children? Trump: Biden Why won’t you deliver Patriot systems? Trump: Biden Why won’t Russia agree to a ceasefire? Trump: Biden Why can’t you easily broker a peace deal like you promised? Trump: Biden

Trump is again pushing for a bailout of farmers, necessitated by his tariffs. 1/ Trump said there would be no American losers with his tariffs. 2/ He explicitly promised tariffs during his campaign. 3/ Farm country gave him the biggest margins. They signed up for it. Sorry, but fuck the farmers.

As a reminder, when Trump says he is putting massive tariffs on China, or any nation, that means he is putting a massive tax on YOU. China doesn't pay a single penny. You, the consumer, do.

Imagine how cruel it is to someone who voted for the guy because eggs were expensive and trans athletes were running rampant and vulnerable white people were being forced to endure diversity. Now his pension and 401K is gone and he's going to be working at Burger King into his 80s. How fair is that?

From this WSJ article I learned that the secret to an early retirement is a high paying job, $millions in savings, and a gold-plated pension. Now they frigging tell us.
