Proud of ordinary Angelenos resisting this outrage. Not so proud of LA and CA officials who are seemingly doing nothing but lamenting in meaningless sound bites.

I hope I am wrong, but I don't believe there is any sexual scandal that will turn his core voters and congressional sycophants against Trump. Just look at ALL the outrages they already know he did, and they voted for him 3 times anyway.

America was not founded as a Christian nation, rather as a nation where you can practice your religion without facing discrimination, or worse, which is why many of our earliest colonists were groups fleeing religious persecution. It's sad their descendants don't practice the tolerance they sought.

Wow. Glad you are ok. Surprised it was totaled - I guess the frame was damaged?

Gutfield is an unfunny mouthpiece who channels whatever the government wants him to say, uncritically. I don't believe he believes the bullshit he's echoing, which makes him even worse.

Investors fear that Musk will lose the benefits of his presidential ass-kissing with this hissy-fit. And they are right

The interesting question is why our money tastes so good to rats.

We are in a circus run by a wannabe PT Barnum who acts less a showman than a comedy version of Pennywise.

It is freeing to realize that if the Earth was vaporized tomorrow the universe would appear unchanged

Oh please no! Let it last at least until Trump surrounds Starbase with the National Guard after Musk points a rapidly disassembling Starship at Mar-a-Lago 😬

So Sweet! But I am thinking that arrangement will get complicated at swim time😳

I don't know whether Musk will live to regret this or Trump will. Kinda hope they both regret it at a point in the near future.

Oh yeah, we sure do. Either Musk has an overblown view of his impact, or he did something that may not have been legal.

A little hard to read thanks to all the pop-ups but, yeah, this is promising.

No experience and not a lot of fashion sense either.

The RNC (and Trump) only want those who vote their pocketbooks on the rolls, thinking they will tolerate a kleptocratic administration to keep their own money safe.

I am hoping the back half of 2025 will be a better half-year. I don't want to wait for 2026 😳

The World's richest drug-dependent technocrat vs the World's most powerful increasingly demented narcissist.

A large part of his soul and virtually all of his conscience left his body during Trump 1.0, never, it seems, to return.

It's like "Idiocracy" was a documentary.

Something is seriously wrong when "police" dress in full military gear for immigration raids. Military forces doing sweeps in a US city is Posse Vomitus.

Musk has shown the world his true self. None of what transpired had to happen - he controlled every minute of it. He deserves to be reviled without an expiration date.

The only things that matter to Trump are about Trump, his celebrity, his money, his place in wealthy society, and his family (sorta, kinda).

Sounds less like a loyalty test and more of a test of the ability to blatantly lie.

That's bull and he probably knows it. His plan will hurt people who can't consistently work or volunteer for 20 hrs each week, and who can't navigate the paperwork required. Plus, the bureaucracy needed to manage this will cost more than it will save. It's just an attack on innocent people.

The inevitable consequence of operations where ICE waits for people to lawfully attend immigration appointments then renditions them, is nobody appearing for their appointments anymore. Eventually nobody, who is not a beyond all possible doubt fully documented citizen, will show up for anything.
