Elon Musk gets a lot of hate. But it's not enough. We can do better.

When Trump was asked why he pardoned people who had assaulted police officers at the Capitol, he responded, “I pardoned J6 people who were assaulted by our government.” He added: “They didn’t assault. They were assaulted, and what I did was a great thing for humanity.” SMH

Because what world-renowned king wants to fly around for free in that old dump?

Here's an example of the "fraud" Eloon has uncovered. Of course, the MAGAs are crowing about how much money this has saved us.

Notice that this post is on the official White House page on X. That's correct - OFFICIAL.

The Lyin' King at work. Tuesday night: Trump claimed during a live TV interview that "Medicare, Medicaid, none of that stuff is going to be touched." Wednesday morning: Trump endorsed a House Republican budget plan that would require as much as $880 billion in Medicaid cuts. About 17 hours....

“Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!”

I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.

“CONGESTION PRICING IS DEAD. Manhattan, and all of New York, is SAVED, LONG LIVE THE KING!” - Donald Trump posting on Truth Social Would that be King Charles I or King Louis XVI? “We are a nation of laws, not ruled by a king. We’ll see you in court.” - New York Governor Kathy Hochul

Trump's exact words were that Ukraine “should have never started” the war. The NYT's interpetation of what Trump said, "Mr. Trump suggested that Ukraine had started the war." Hey NYT, Trump didn't suggest it, he said it! That's the truth; just report it.

Trump suggested that future security of Ukraine would not be an American problem. “This War is far more important to Europe than it is to us,” he wrote. “We have a big, beautiful Ocean as separation.” That's good news for Ukraine. At this point they would be better off if Trump would just butt out.

Today's word of the day: Anschluss On March 12, 1938, the world stood by Adolf Hitler ordered Nazi troops cross the border into Austria under the guise that he was protecting Austrian citizens of Germanic heritage from their government. Sound familiar? Fast forward to February 24, 2022.

As seen on eBay - For sale one used soul. Tarnished and in poor shape. Make me an offer. No bid is too low. Willing to sell to anyone. Contact Marco Rubio for details.

This is Comrade Trump's plan to end the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine? Shameful!

If Comrade Trump isn't going to support the Ukrainian people, he should just butt out instead of siding with Putin.

Straight out of Hitler's play book.

People that don’t agree with Elon deserve prison. Ain’t you glad he ain’t in charge? No. Wait!

As convicted felon Donald Trump well knows, fraud is a crime. Despite his claim that DOGE has found billions of dollars of fraud and abuse, I've yet to see any evidence. All I've seen so far are examples of expenditures Trump disagrees with. He may not like them, but that hardly makes them crimes.

The Republican House budget proposal reduces spending on vital safety net programs like Medicaid, SNAP and Meals on Wheels and calls for $4.5 trillion in tax cuts, skewed to benefit the wealthy. Net result? A projected $3.3 trillion deficit increase. Draining the swamp. Making America Great Again!

Her's the Common Cause ad the Washington Post wouldn't run.

reporter: “egg prices have reached an all-time high.” Donny: “well there’s a flu. before I ever got here it. remember, I’ve been here for three weeks.” got that? the guy who claimed he would fix everything on his first day in office is now begging off. presidenting is hard. Credit Jeff Tiederich

If only someone would have warned she/he. In typical MAGA style, he/she is interested only in herself/himself.

Huh? The move comes less than three weeks since the midair collision over Washington, DC, that killed 67 people and that highlighted shortages of air traffic controllers and FAA infrastructure issues. Making America Great Again

Half of Americans get their health information from social media, which rewards sensational content, not accuracy. Falsehoods spread 6x faster than the truth. These messages will now be coming from the highest health office in the country. - distilled from Your Local Epidemiologist

JD Vance went to Dachau and then he met with the representatives of a political party who say that the SS is not a criminal organization. What does that make JD Vance exactly? Credit: Steve Schmidt

Making America Great Again (not)

Somehow, someway, Republicans are going to extend or increase tax cuts for the wealthy this year. That's a given. They should, however, give using trickle-down economics to justify them. After multiple failures, even MAGAts should be smart enough not to believe that bullshit anymore.

On Friday the House Budget Committee presented its budget proposal to the full House. It calls for $1.5 trillion in spending cuts. Yet, it adds $4.5 trillion to the budget deficit. How can that be? Hint: think of tax cuts.

This was from two weeks ago. Guess where he is this weekend. Might save the taxpayers some money if he would just stay in Florida and let Muskilini continue to run the country in Washington.
