When taking actions late on a Friday night, a government sends a message its trying to pull one over on the public and the media, that it is hiding something or doing something it believes it should not do or will be seen as controversial. That is certainly true in this case.

This is climate arson, yes, but also the entire value proposition of Tesla, the reason for its insane stock price, is that it would end up the Amazon of electric cars: the only real game in town. Killing off non-Tesla electric car infrastructure is a gift to Musk.

Better not call it a “vaccine” or it might not get approved. Maybe market it as a recreational drug.

People need to understand this: Trump did not leave office willingly the first time. If his health holds up, he will not leave office willingly this time. He is not joking about serving more than two terms.

Correct. He’s not capable of playing multidimensional chess. Or chess. Or checkers. Or tic-tac-toe. As one of his aides put it during Shit Show I, “he’s just eating the pieces” on the board. Nothing he does is strategic. He’s purely guided by narcissistic, sociopathic impulses at all times.

This country has seen some bad moments in the 61 years, 5 months, 16 days I’ve been on this Earth. But it has never, ever before come close to the supertoxic level of stupidity, mendacity, narcissism, nihilism, and moral apathy that threaten to destroy it today.

That Trump is now calling Pres. Zelensky a “dictator” and it talked the U.S. into spending $350 billion (a lie) for a war Ukraine started (another disgusting lie) should remind you the White House occupant is mentally deranged and must be opposed at all times.

This false meme just showed up in my mentions. Let me debunk it right quick. The graph (falsely) shows Harris receiving 16M fewer votes in 2024 than Biden did in 2020, & (falsely) suggests this gap is evidence of fraud in 2020. In reality, Harris received 75M votes (only 6M fewer) in 2024.

Want to go visit the national parks this year? Sorry. The reservation system is shut down, EMT personnel are gone, so don't get hurt or lost. No one can clean the bathrooms or cabins, so they'll be closed. Rangers are fired. www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

A Black man with 13 kids by six different women wouldn’t be allowed near the White House much less allowed to run the shadow government.

After all we've seen in the past 3.5wks, I cannot believe anyone is confused about this. Musk. Owns. Trump. Trump sold Musk the functions of the Presidency; in return, Musk spent $250M to ensure Trump won instead of dying in prison. Trump just licenses his name to the deal: POTUS in name only.

Elon Musk retweeted a conspiracy theory about white people being ethnically cleansed from South Africa, a lie spread by white nationalists. Not only that, the person he RTed said this is the “human rights cause of our lifetimes.” You shouldn’t need a salute to know that this man is a Nazi.

“He who saves his Country does not violate any Law,” Mr. Trump wrote, first on Truth Social, and then on the website X. The quote is a variation of one sometimes attributed to Napoleon Bonaparte. It’s creepy to the core and wholly anti-constitutional: www.nytimes.com/2025/02/15/u...

So, they are - illegally dismantling US govt itself, disabling Congress - burning our alliances, turning US into a global pariah - putting backdoors into the Treasury - reigniting inflation, exploding the deficit - setting up camps If Russia were "attacking the US" how would it look any different?

Elon Musk has barged into DOL, which also oversees the Bureau of Labor Statistics—that's a huge deal. He could manipulate quarterly job numbers and much more. We are talking about MARKET MOVING INFORMATION! Do employers want Musk to have access to any of their confidential data?
