If Trump has played golf on one third of the days he has been in off I’m sure he’ll start work on bringing prices down as soon as that important golfing business has been taken care of.

DOGE making massive cuts to the public service is like a visit to Taco Bell. It seems like a idea at the time but you’ll definitely regret it later.

Will firing thousands of IRS employees mean the remaining ones will concentrate on Tesla paying any tax?

Volodymyr Zelenskyy has spent three years staring down the most ruthless dictator of our time, I’m not sure he’s going to be intimidated by a guy who can’t fold up an umbrella.

The next logical conclusion

Trump declares himself King. My thoughts

Congratulations America you got yourself a King again.

So the Deputy US Attorney is going to walk in ad squash any case where a state or local official is useful to the President’s agenda. We must assume the opposite is true and he will equally pursue cases with no validity where officials oppose the Presidents agenda. Who’s weaponising the courts?

Trump decides better to be member of New Axis of Evil rather than Leader of the Free World.

Hey NATO here’s an idea take Ukraine and kick out the US.

Trump tests new slogan “Make Russia Great Again”.

Given SCOTUS has basically made corruption impossible to prosecute and Trump pardons or drops investigations of anyone accused of it, would it better just to make it legal but require disclosure of when, where, for what, how much, how often and who. Then at least we know who owns them.

American in a bar. Bartender “that Mexican over there sent you this”

813 US billionaires held a record $6.72 trillion in wealth at the end of 2024. The bottom 50% of Americans held roughly $3.9 trillion in wealth. When 813 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Remember when Musk fired all those Twitter employees not realising he needed them to stop Twitter crashing. He’s doing that to the Government.

I suspect cartoonists are who billionaires are really afraid of. Just one cutting cartoon in a paper or on a platform and billionaires cower. Time to start drawing people.

I’m not sure why Musk wants individual tax payer data given his companies don’t pay any tax.

Trump asking for mineral rights in peace deal with Ukraine in contrast an open cheque book for Israeli war in Gaza. Zelenskyy may get more cash if he throws on a red cap and promises a war on woke.

So you have a President who thinks he’s Napoleon. What you gonna do now America?

“Most people think small because they are afraid of success, afraid of making decisions, afraid of winning.” Trump - The Art of the Deal. Trump 2025 not "practical" for Kyiv to join the Nato military alliance and also "unlikely" that Ukraine could return to its pre-invasion borders in 2014.

Did NYM Adam’s try a little more corruption. “I can really only help you with your immigration problem if this corruption case disappears”. Trumps DOJ “can do”.

Is the US a superpower still? Just wondering because I’m pretty sure previous presidents wouldn’t just give Russia everything they wanted. Hard to imagine Reagan giving a foot massage to Putin.

DOGE seems to be spring out of nowhere on unsuspecting federal departments like the Monty Python Spanish Inquisition. Nobody expects the Musk Inquisition!

What a momentous day for diversity with first brain worm sworn in as Secretary of Health.

Trump advises prices could go up because of tariffs. I don’t recall these beautiful tariffs would do that.

I hope Mitch McConnell is reflecting on his decision to let the courts handle the insurrection and not impeach Trump

Trump says he has spoken to Putin and agreed to negotiate Ukraine ceasefire. Did he mean surrender?

Apple resumes advertising on X. Because Russian Bots need mobile phones too.

Russia couldn’t win the Cold War but definitely won the misinformation war.

Will Republicans be just fine with a Democratic President unilaterally making decisions to gut programs and departments. I’m sure they’ll be on board with that right.

Tesla paid $0 in federal income tax last year. 2022: $0 2021: $0 2020: $0 2019: $0 2018: $0 Tesla reported $6.7 billion in profit in those years.

Trumps new cabinet shapes up: Sec for Russia, Sec for Jack Daniel’s, Sec for Brain Worms, Sec little Marco, Sec for kindness to K9s, Director of scary children’s books (and stares), and Attorney for Trump University. This is what meritocracy looks like people.

Elon Musk struggled with being the hero that saved the world but is excelling as the villain that burns it all down.

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024. You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right? Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year. You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.
