Signals from Earth now take 23 hours and 9 minutes to reach Voyager 1 — and just as long to return. In January 2027, Voyager 1 is expected to reach a new cosmic milestone—one light-day (about 25.9 billion km) from the Sun—right on time for the 50th anniversary of its launch.

Elon has an estimated IQ of 155, Trump apparently can’t even break 73 if they’re gonna fight, Elon is fighting an unarmed wee man.

Disturbing headline! The unvetted, unpaid special government employee Elon Musk, who led DOGE, that’s been deep into America’s confidential information, could be offered political asylum by Russia? This is why you never allow security protocols to be subverted… www.newsweek.com/russia-offer...

For real, what the hell has the President actually done to improve the world since he’s gotten elected? I can’t think of a single thing.

I can’t speak for anyone else, but this analogy of “Lady Liberty’ held captive, is exactly how I feel about this presidency & administration and what their attempting to do with our rights and freedoms… The New Yorker captured the feelings perfectly… One word, UNACCEPTABLE!

Gonna say something obvious to most: real masculinity defends the defenseless, punches up not down, has compassion, and fights only on behalf of others to battle injustice or evil. It doesn’t just lift weights and tweet in all caps and listen to Rogan and grow a beard to feel accepted by other men

This is the crazy stuff you’d expect from a seriously deranged individual, not the United States president.
