I think both Trump and Musk are TOO CHICKEN to really DESTROY each other. The most chicken one will back down in fear. I think it’s okay for every bookie in the US to start openly taking bets on which one is TOO CHICKEN to utterly destroy the other.

When people speak of the money Musk paid to help the Trump campaign, unless they include the 44 BILLION DOLLARS Musk spent converting Twitter to a right-wing shit-nest, they are missing 99.59% of his contribution. Xitter was a loss-leader, a disposable rocket booster.

While it’s amusing to watch Trusk and Mump shit-talk each other on social media, wouldn’t it be better if they each were treated like acrylic balls in those 1970’s klik-klak toys? Wouldn’t that be worth PPV?

Me: “How many shots of espresso will fit in this cup?” My barista: “Sir, that’s a sangria bottle.” Me: “So fill it twice — I haven’t got time for games!”

When you dress up your police as soldiers, they will see the people as enemies. This is the price of attempting to rule by fear. It’s difficult to reverse that trend, which is why wiser heads start early.

Human beings WANT community. So social media CAN be absolutely charming and happy. But if people are having a good time, then right-wing assholes have to FUCK THINGS UP. They brigade in from Toilet Town, hose shit everywhere and ALWAYS MAKE THINGS WORSE. Be a good neighbor -- delete these toads.

Democrats should NAIL DOWN A GODDAMN VISION and sell the shit out of it ("flood the zone" and "keep the message simple"), while CONSTANTLY showing that Republicans, their policies, and their constituents want to murder anyone not like them, and "not like them" is a constantly growing death-circle.

It’s pathetic to think at least ten people knew and supported this asshole, keeping it secret. One of the US’s greatest weaknesses is its unwillingness to identify and excise rotten tissue. apnews.com/article/nazi...

Me: "I am thinking a lot about how Montresor solves his problems, but we're gonna need some more supplies." The real estate agent: "No, it's simply a basement parking garage, sir." Me: "But I have an entire cask of delicious Amontillado, down here." The real estate agent: "Oh? Do tell..."

“I’ll take the ribs, too. Can I get extra sauce on the side?” Crematorium employee: “Sir, you aren’t welcome here, either.”

“Why fuck around with plastic skulls when — for the same price — real ones feel and taste so much better?” Wal-Mart employee: “Sir, we’re going to have to ask you to leave the store.”

According to SOME people, a rainbow is a message from a god declaring “When I next murder you all, the method I choose will probably not be drowning” and yet these people are REALLY upset when others tell them “Wait, hear me out, how about NOT MURDERING US?” Crazy Iron Age goatmongers…

It’s soul-exhausting to see just how many people fantasize about Star Wars, and in those fantasies, they’re the masked stormtroopers.

ATTENTION CANADA: Note that unless it can be shown undeniably by all citizens of the US that all of the other fifty states are “cherished,” then you will not be “cherished,” either. I mean, you KNOW it’s bullshit from a lying liar, but, jus’ sayin’…

I was reminded of #Lego by a new friend. When I was a kid, we had, like, six shapes. But now there’s a bajillion special shapes and functions. And that’s AWESOME! Have fun with all the new things you can make!

“The School of Hard Knocks” should lose its accreditation. An awful lot of awful people who use that in their social media bios are just the most horrible self-victimizing craves-public-humiliation sort of folks.
