Or he's trying to make himself look like a "normal Dad" just taking his son to work, you know, to the Oval Office. Not normal, not no-how.
For real bizarro circus entertainment, have (the)Barron carry the mini-musk on his shoulders, you know, the President's son (or at least the contractual spouse's son) and the President behind the throne's son, or the owner of the President's throne's son.
Well, we can only hope that MoneyManMusk doesn't forget himself and start leaping about in one of his leaping-maniacal laughing episodes with his Mini-Me on his shoulders.
He doesn't have to protect himself. As I said, before, nobody was complaining when he mass-produced the best vehicle in the world, or we shooting rockets that the government couldn't do itself.
I'd like to introduce you to 30,000 children slaughtered in the past year who were no shield to there fathers, mothers or any of their family. Please, please, please keep that kid on your shoulders E. - 24/7/365. We'll call him a Hero, or any other label you want, just so long as he gets the job done.
Are you talking about Musk? That guy spreads his “seed” around like a dandelion but if they don’t live up to his expectations he abandons them. Ask his trans daughter.
Well, to everyone's delight I'm gonna be signing off now, but I wanna leave you with one thought having to do with the army navy game this past weekend.
A player from each team one of their leaders was asked a question heading into the game and how they felt about the game
Individually, they each said almost the same thing we want to win this game badly and we're gonna fight to win it
But then something surprising happen and maybe the people on this blog might take light of that Individually, and without the knowledge of what the other one said, they both came out with the same comment afterwards without a question being posed
They both said they want to win this game very badly but when the game is over, we're both on the same side. We're both brothers. We defend and support America.
Excuse me, but he's allowed to disagree and disapprove With his daughter, is he not ?
I only wish Joe Biden had done the same with Hunter. Where was he when Hunter was in trouble with drugs And Joe got up in the Senate floor and said anyone with a quarters worth of Crack cocaine goes directly to prison no judge no parole ooops. And didn't show Devo any knowledge of his four-year-old granddaughter? Be fair with your response
Im a mother and as a parent I love my child unconditionally. I would never disown my child because of their sexual orientation. I found it very offensive watching him carrying his son on his shoulders showing what a good dad he is. Think about the pain and anger his daughter felt seeing that.
Our country has a long way to go in terms of justice. When it comes to drug enforcement it’s worse. I’m sure you know that when a top drug supplier is busted they loose all of their assets. Home card art etc. The government then sells these assets at auction. Do you know where the money goes? It goes into the general fund. Now if the country really wanted to end the war on drugs wouldn’t you think the money should go toward rehab facilities? But they don’t want to win that particular war, it’s too lucrative.
Hunters story is tragic. I lost my brother years ago and it left a big hole in my heart. I felt like a part of me was missing. My parents were shattered and were in no shape to help me grieve, I had to help them. And I wasn’t the but of a political dog pile. Hunter has suffered enough. His prosecution was politically motivated. It was a joke and what did the likes of Marjory t Green accomplish other than shooting off her mouth? They didn’t work to improve peoples lives they worked to get spots on Fox News.
Well to your total chagrin, you’ll probably stop yourself in three years, and if everything’s going well handed off to Vance, who will then remain in the White House for another eight years. But at least you’ll be rid of him
Pam, you know better than that everybody here says he’s a malignant narcissist. Trump will never take orders from anyone; he delivers them
He happens to agree with musk, as does most of the country with less bloat so we can better take care of the needy and the poor and the homeless and our veterans.AND not continue to raise the deficit every four years.
I say if somebody runs for Congress take away their personal credit cards… they’re not allowed. Now let Congress offer a budget where they can’t exceed what they take in. Then maybe they’ll get the message
As well as term limits immediately, so that they can’t enrich them selves because of their position
A malignant narcissist is not controlled by orders, Rick. He is controlled by praise and compliments. Oh, and Elon is perfectly capable of enriching the malignant narcissist personally to the tune of billions of dollars. That makes this particular coalition incredibly dangerous.
Well, you see it's dangerous. I see it as both of them having mutual goals. Freedom in America. Less government and certainly less expensive government and fraud.
And if they work on that and lower expenses as they say, they will hopefully everybody will see that versus any side note.
I agree with you so are most people RICK. I'm not sure anyone doesn't appreciate compliments.And praise.
I have to disagree with you on the point Elon is the richest man on the planet by 200 billion as I mentioned in an earlier missive, he could live on 10 billion a year and still have more money in the bank then he has now when he dies.
Elon took a big risk in buying Twitter and he didn't buy it for the money RICK he bought it for the free speech because it was a losing proposition going in and now he's lost 30 billion and he could care less
Because before Twitter was 69% democrat 31% republican now that it's 50-50 all the liberal cowards are leaking over to blue sky where they don't have to be hearing the other side of the story an are 't met with confrontation
All they do is commiserate with each other and Whine about the human condition
Hate to disagree with you but as far as Trump is concerned he is following Elon's orders like a a hungry Puppy following his owner for dinner. My Motto "Who needs Putin we have Musk as Trumps Puppeteer.
Nope. Maybe you should catch up Trump had his agenda ready to go along before Elon came along. Elon is just trying to lower the cost of the government and what he did today was exactly that. There was so much waste and pork in the bill that was on the table and if I'm not gonna tire you by reading it to you now but just take a look at 1547 pages dumped on Congress two days before the vote had to come in when they had from September to do this.
Some of the items in this bill were more than offensive. They were disgusting. Why don't you look at the key elements of the bail and you'll understand why it didn't get passed and Johnson got the wall pulled over more than his eyes. They pulled over his whole body. But Trump and musk didn't let it happen.
And if you have a problem with lowering the cost of the government, then shame on you because the government is full of bloat and fraud.
Go out on the street tomorrow and ask anybody if the government wastes money
You are naïve if you believe that "less bloat" will be used to the betterment of the "needy and and the poor and the homeless" unless you are putting Musk and his ilk in that category.
Well, don't know if you've ever run a business Or understand indebtedness, you can no longer afford But that's where America is. I believe it's 12 to 15% of our budget is interest for debt reduction We're not paying any of the principal are we? You wanna run a business like that. We need to stop spending more than we're taking in because At some point at some point, we're going to default on our loans
And the people we owe money to are going to be more than pissed.
I suggest you do this which I know you've never done and would never dare to do but try it just for giggles Google Trump administration accomplishments see what you see
LOL. The chances of everything going well in three years is about as good as it went well in trump's first term. You remember he was well and truly trounced? Uh-huh. Dream on, skippy. I think even magas won't vote for him after he gives it to them the hardest.
We have a totally fucked up system for elections! Most of the states have a clear red or blue majority, so NONE of their votes count. A few swing states are close to 50-50. So how those swing is all that matters. When a few thousand votes out of 150 million are all that matter in an election, that is INSANE!
And can anyone have any confidence that their vote is even counted, or not changed? Can anyone have any confidence that ballots were not 'lost', or 'created'? INSANE!
And can anyone today believe that the delegate system makes any sense, where low population state votes get more credit that high population vstate votes? INSANE!
To make voting proper:
1) Funding for elections must be limited to the same amount for each candidate.
2) One person, one vote. period!
3) Electronic ballots with a Voter ID number tied to the actual voter in a secure 'safe' .
4) Voter access to the database of ballots by Voter ID, for checking.
Wow only 10,000 cool. And the only state to stay as blue as it was was Washington state every other state went redder Including New York, California, and New Jersey the bastion of liberal control
And by the way, that's why we have the electoral college So that if three or four states had more population than the rest of the country, they would control the vote.
Well, someone else who thinks he has a crystal ball and an Ouija board at work. We see a sunrise coming up we see optimism, we see prices coming down. We see more drilling, more oil, more exporting of our natural resources. I guess I will only say time will tell. But I would certainly love to hear your admission if it does go well, because that would be a real treat. And I think the chances of you “fessing up” are zero
Prices will go up & inflation with it if Trump applies his 10%-25% or greater tariffs on imported goods. The consumer. will pay those percentages, not the country from which imported and not the American importer; they’ll
just pass the cost on down the line to YOU & every other working poor American & middle class. It wont touch the lifestyles of the rich like Musk, Trump & their ilk.
Pamela is tariffs are not only terrorist for the sake of tariffs, but also a negotiating tool and they've already worked with Canada and Mexico, who have agreed to stop the caravans I've sincerely doubt that the tariffs will actually be effectuated. But you might not know that Biden kept almost all of Trump's tariffs and added a few of his own. But look what happened yesterday with the stock market, which was not just about the stock market, but bought the future of the economy and Bidenomics.
The fed chair stated he wasn't pleased with the direction of the economy, and didn't think that inflation would continue to come down and therefore reduce the number of rate cuts and tanked the market again an indicator of the current economic progress of the Biden administration
Exactly what we don't need: more drilling. We are already culpable for the murder of future generations of humans so that we can live "in comfort." I would like to see us at least try to make Earth habitable as long as we still can. Can you imagine the terror and absolute horror those final generations will experience because of our selfishness?
I might also mention that drilling is more than drilling for the sake of drilling and producing more product, but it's also a bargaining chip to the other oil producing companies/countries in the world. We took away Russia's glut of money from their oil production, and he runs as well and made it less probable for them to start waging war when they were not earning billions of dollars more through their oil, production or distribution
And now the European Union has tentatively agreed to buy natural gas and other pet petroleum products from us rather than from Russia so it's also a bargaining chip
RICK, I'm sorry we don't agree. We are currently living in comfort and one of the funniest things I've said to people is if you didn't watch TV what would you know about climate change?
Here's the other thing almost every climate change prediction since the 1960s has been incorrect. And they keep pointing at the main culprit, which is Co2, which is .04% of our atmosphere.
At some point if you'd like me to delineate all the errors and all the miscalculations in thinking that climate changes an existential threat. All tangible evidence to the contrary.
Fossil fuels are currently the sustaining life on this planet and as plants and animals die, they will continue to be until we get back to using nuclear which we are starting to do again
There are a litany of predictions made by thousands of scientists and by thousands of dignitaries and by movies, etc., that have all been wrong, including for example, when you think of climate change, it's not weather and back in the 1960s, the prediction by a great group of people were the coming of the next ice age where the mail Placio layers would come down as far south as as Carolina
If you didn't know that climate change even existed or that the word climate change were appropriate. In the same sentence you never know anything happened.
Dream on. The economy tanked under Trump, and recovered under Biden. Tariffs alone cause prices on all imported goods to rise. Including food. Trump has essentially killed off Ford, Harley Davidson, John Deer, in his claimed quest to bring back manufacturing to the US.
Drill baby Drill? That is Putin's way to get money.
" The 2024 Atlantic hurricane season was a very active and extremely destructive Atlantic hurricane season which became the second costliest on record, inflicting at least $220 billion in damages and 400 deaths overall, most of which was caused by four systems: Beryl, Debby, Helene, and Milton."
"The most expensive hurricane season in the United States on record was 2017, when the total damage was over $300 billion after adjusting for inflation. This was due to two major hurricanes that made landfall in the United States during the season: Hurricane Harvey in Texas and Hurricane Irma in Florida. Hurricane Maria also devastated Puerto Rico during this season."
But, I guess you think Climate Change is a 'Chinese Hoax'.
If Congress hadn’t been able to come to a compromise continuing resolution, people who had their property destroyed by Helene would have received no help. Climate change intensifies storms.
Well, I'm laughing at you when you say the Atlantic hurricane season the Atlantic hurricane season was dead this year dead. All the deadly hurricanes began in the Gulf of Mexico or south of that not in the Atlanta coming off the African continent while the other people kept making excuses for why it wasn't happening.
In the meantime, El Niño and La Niña control everything
You know I've been following climate change for 60 years. And just so you know for the last few years I've been analyzing the so-called Noa and other climate scientist predictions for major storms and they've been about 50% correct but this year they were even more incorrect. In the month of August this year they kept wondering why there was no hurricane formation or tropical storm formation and they kept going. What's wrong. What's going on here? They overestimated the number of storms at the beginning of the season and all of a sudden storm started to rise in the Gulf of Mexico instead of the Atlantic. And you should wonder why that is.
But with every storm, especially with inflation, the cost of damage goes up, especially when the storms hit areas that are seldom hit like western North Carolina.
And I love the people that talk about for storms this year that's called weather. Ted climate is evaluated in terms of decades.
Ford killed off itself by the direction. It started to produce cars and EV's that didn't sell.
Not sure about your other assertions, but Biden kept almost all of Trump tariffS
And it wasn't tariffs that increased food prices
Hopefully, you'll see that once Trump takes office.
By the way, those with good negotiating skills might realize a tariffs are not just terrorist for the sake of being tariffs, but are also negotiating tools, which have worked well with Canada and Mexico
The problem/issue with America is that it became comfortable with buying things cheaper in order to do that they had to buy things from countries with incredibly cheap labor which started probably publicly with Levi's years ago, but that was just one example now everything is made in places like Indonesia and Guatemala, Nicaragua Bangladesh and that's what brings prices down and Americans don't want to pay the higher prices. They just want higher salaries, but they don't understand business because obviously higher salaries means higher prices which is exactly what happened to the restaurant industry in California. It's collapsing where profits used to be 4 to 5 times what they are today. And people could get more money from CDs than they came from running a business with all its risks.
And one day, you'll understand by the way the drill baby drill is not only good for Putin but good for America because complain as you might right now fossil fuels are what drives the world's businesses.
Thank goodness people are coming back to their senses and with a little bit of deregulation nuclear plants will come back online as they are planning to do including 3 mile Island it's only reregulation that stopped it
And I'm still getting a kick of your comment about the Atlanta hurricane season I have commentary from all the other people, including Noa about why aren't there more storms developing in the Atlantic the whole month of August? I kept talking about on slot of storms and they never occurred. But going back to my earlier point that's weather.
Well, Trump's first term went excellently. In fact, if not for a Covid, Trump would be leaving the right house right now not coming into it. But I bet you're one of those armchair quarterbacks I can tell us and your vast experience and scientific knowledge how you would handle a once in a lifetime new virus global pandemic. Prices were down. Gas was affordable mortgage at 3% not seven crime was down. The world was safe no wars. The border was as close as the Democrats would allow it to be and inflation was 1.9% when he handed her over to Biden and Biden got it all the way down to 9.1%. Ooops
Be careful what you wish for. JD was hand picked by the Silicon Valley oligarchs (of whom Musk is just the richest) for the specific task of outliving Trump.
Well to some people it's bigger than others most of the people on the right don't think it's a big if they think it's a relative certainty. They are more optimistic and as well, more supportive of the incoming president. But yes anything in the future is an If
I believe Norway is not selling teslas in their country anymore. From what I understand, it'll mean a lot less explosions since it's said teslas tend to explode a lot.
Please define a lot and the reason for their explosion.
I bought my first Tesla in 2014 and haven't been to a gas station since. And now I have two parked in the garage an S and a Y best cars I've ever driven and I've driven them all from Mercedes on down.
The only reason musky is in the running for richest man/immigrant, is the US grants/contracts for his ridiculous space program to Mars BS. Put him on the next rocket.
SpaceX falcon 9 has 9 Merlin engines. Put him and 8 oligarch friends on the business ends of the rockets. Bonus the rockets are reusuable. A lot of Oligarchs could go up in following flights. Their bodies contribution to carbon emissions would have an outside good effect on climate legislation.
Putin came to an agreement with his oligarchs that they would share their wealth with him. He also lets the computer crooks operate with impunity as long as they only target the West and leave Russians alone.
All republicans are. They're going to hand it all over to Putin in exchange for positions in the new dictatorship government. They will all bend a knee to Vladdie. Trump and muskrat will do more than bend a knee. They'll offer head.
Musk is chummy with anyone who does business with do you think that’s stupid do you think that’s wrong? I don’t like it, but this has become a global economic issue. Things are a changin in the business world. AI Will soon be omnipresent to some degree
Elon has extensive Sensitive USG Contracts, and a TS Security Clearance... Putin placed Bounties on our Troops in Afghanistan... Do You Think That Putin Is Our Friend?... Does Elon Musk Submit Reports To The USG Detailing His Conversations With Putin?
I tend to think that due to too much Video-Gaming, LSD, and Katamine… Elon now sees the World as a Video Game… He may have Hallucinations of Grandeur… Russia, and it’s Allies are just Chess Pieces to be Seized…
Read Timothy Snyder’s Road to Unfreedom. Underline the names of people he mentions. Draw links between names when he provides a reference to a relationship with an intent. Pay attention to Russian cyber warfare goals to take over Western Europe and American minds to destroy the West. Follow the money and debts as well as who the Kremlin props up . Learn about which American reps show up on RT. Which ones spout exact Kremlin talking points.
It’s irrefutable but often western journalism has failed us. They’re also now funded by the wealthy. These wealthy oligarchs keep company.
Putin’s right hand man Dugin is behind much of the strategy.
Multitasking is most likely a myth. Being super-busy and always rushing
from place to place is probably the result of 1) bad planning and
2) being led to believe that a person needs to learn to live at the speed of the newest digital device. That cannot happen and trying to do so is a waste of one’s life, eyes glued to the 3×4 square clutched by two hands.
Don’t be jealous Linda. You know, I didn’t hear a peep out of you guys. When he was launching missiles and rockets , they could come back without needing to throw them out. Long before he was involved in public politics
Didn’t hear you complaining when he was launching electric vehicles that would create a better green environment. But the second someone puts an R in front of their name, their free game.
Rick Sender, very subtle trolling. "You guys"???? You don't live on this planet, in the US? Wherever and whoever you are, you and the rest of us are going to feel the impact of Mumpism (Trump +Musk) and their malevolent governance and greed.
Why don't you just wait for him to get an office? See what he does and then judge him and when you do judge him be fair that's all if he does bad no problem. He did bad just say it.
Rick, you are missing the point or maybe trying to? It was when he bought twitter X, and started talking publicly about politics that I and others became seriously concerned. It was not the R it was the obvious desire to control our country.
Buying Twitter was a totally political move a move to reestablish free speech, which was being halted, prevented, squelched, and demonized by social media. It was a bad investment and he knew it and he's lost $30 billion doing it, but he saw that Twitter and other social media. Giants were not allowing free speech which is crucial to this country.
Think about this for one second suppose and all the media was conservative and the only liberal media was being squelched and Elon came in and on squelched it. How would you feel then?
No body knew what he was about when he first came out with Tesla. Do you know that Musk didn’t create Tesla? He bought the very small company from two engineers then fired them so he could take credit.
I didn’t know much about him but when he walked into the Twitter building carrying a sink I thought “What a dick” the more I learned about him the more he sank in my regard for the guy. Did you know that when Biden had more comments on his post during the Super Ball he had his engineers change the algorithm so he’d get more likes. That’s not a Republican thing, that’s a big weeny thing.
We should've never gone anywhere near Ukraine it's another Vietnam for those of you remember the only difference is it's not 60,000 Ukrainian troops for 100,000 Russian troops that are dying, but it's our money that's funding at all and NATO is right there to fight against it if necessary.
But it was an earlier president who did what he did to make it possible for Russia to invade Ukraine
By the way, you should read up on the development of Tesla and why one of the partners was fired and he wasn't fired by Mjsk . He was fired by the other partner because he had good intention, but the company was going nowhere
Read about it because most people that knew about the company knew that this was the proper thing to do with one of the partners he wasn't contributing .
Speaking of the border: Under Bush, illegal crossings went down. They remained down under two terms of Obama, and 3 years of Trump. They they started climbing quickly. They quickly climbed under Biden's first year. Then they stayed high for 2 more years. In 2024, they declined, apparently due to Biden's help from Mexico.
I would say that the evidence points to Trump doing something that cause illegal immigration to rise. - or to some other cause, not Biden.
Oh, by the way, the one thing that Obama did for this country was to deport almost a half 1 million people during his terms alas he was the one that built the cages and separated families, but if you're driving down the road with a child in the back of your car and you get pulled over guess what you get separated from your family
Wow, that's a pretty interesting comment. There are Ted but 180° incorrect.
In fact, there was a large caravan just as one example that was coming up about 2500 people and then Trump was announced as the election winner and the caravan broke up and went back home. It was Biden and Harris that opened the border and lied and lied and lied about the border being secure. End of story other than all the damage that that is done to this country and how much it's cost us both in human and monetary means.
Yes, I know he was brought in to a startup company with two partners they had a great concept that was going nowhere. Incredible innovation and and must took it Global.
And his company now bills the best automobile on the road today with incredible technology and performance. And you should love that because most of the people here love the green stuff.
I used to admire Musk, just because of Tesla. But I later learned that Tesla was started by two engineers. Typical engineers, knew how to design, but not how to make money or a business. So Musk, not a dummy, made promises and took over the start-up, kicking out one of the founders some time later.
Believe it or not, Musk is not an engineer, but a businessman. He could spot the obvious - it is great to own a monopoly. It is great to get government funding. So he has done both.
And, now seeing how politics can shape government policy, he is jumping up and down like a retard and taking advantage of the fools who believe Trump will do anything for the common people.
Musk raised lots of money and opportunity by cultivating an image of being a good genius. But now his image is being blown away by his corruption.
Well to your last line, I'm not sure about his corruption. Maybe you know more.
But if you ever study Tesla, you'd know what happened with Tesla and the people around that company when Elon was ASKED to join was that the other partner got rid of the former partner because all his intentions were good the company was going nowhere Elon did not kick him out but people around the company at that time said that it was a good move because as I said below, the man had good intentions, but the company was going nowhere.
And eventually, Elon took over the company.
And people can question how he got to where he got to, but he did everything legally and now is the richest man on the planet by a couple hundred billion.
That's not the way and be all but some of the move he made when taking over other companies were very smart moves, making companies extremely more efficient on a lot less expense and I think that's where we're heading with the government that's the plan. We can only see going forward how it's going to work.
Again that was the SpaceX engineers not Musk. He is not an engineer and he’s not a genius. He’s got a talent for making himself in the right place at the right time and taking credit for other peoples accomplishments.
Fine then why didn't our government hire these engineers? Why can't our governor produce what he produces for a lot less money and he happened to cut the cost of many this companies substantially that were fueled with bloat and that's exactly why he's gonna be helpful to the American government.
You know a lot of people have done exactly that ben at the right place at the right time and many of them fail anyway
Here's a short list of people that went bankrupt and came back to be successful
H.J. Heinz PT, Barnum Steve Jobs Donald Trump, Abraham Lincoln Michael Jackson Dave Ramsey Henry Ford.
You can attempt to insult Elon Musk anyway you'd like, but you don't become the richest man by being wrong too many times
And by the way, he bought Twitter knowing it was a losing proposition and lost $30 billion in the process but gained free speech for America
Teslas value has declined by 55%. X has lost 78%. SpaceX is being paid for by government contracts so far 20 billion dollars. There were many failures with his rockets which the government paid for. I don’t know why the government privatized our space program I think it was a mistake.
My father was in the Air Force for twenty years. He helped develop the first spy satellites many years ago. He didn’t make billions or millions from doing that. He did it for love of country.
Elon plans to cut Social Security and Medicare and other social services from the little people all the more money for him.
And I have to ask you. Don’t you think being the head of DOGE while receiving billions in contracts from the government is a conflict of interest? Given his track record with Tesla and X what qualifies him to have anything to do with running the country?
Did you know why Trump wanted to lift the spending ceiling before he was in office? Because he didn’t want it on his presidential history, he wanted it on Biden’s. And what was that extra debt spending
for? Tax breaks for billionaires and corporation. The Republicans of today are not like your dads or my dads Republicans. They are an elitist oligarchy that cleverly fooled the MAGAs. It will fail I’m just concerned about how many people will suffer these next for years.
I too think it’s a serious mistake to privatize space exploration. We need to start strict enforcement of our anti monopoly laws, but that won’t happen again.
Do you have a point?? at one point Trump was the only EV company that meant anything and now there are many competitors and he has even had to drop prices in order to compete, which is common business the government gave him contracts because he could do more than the government could with less cost, and you wanna know how many government rockets have blown up over the years even ones with asronauts in them?
Well, will you work for a company like the United States government as an employee you make X those in business take risks and make Y.
Well, I'm hoping and I have no way of knowing that one won't enhance the other I believe that doge is a good thing and many Democrats agree. The government is out of control. They can't balance a budget and the deficit continues to rise. Something needs to be done. And this is what we have at hand right now.
My suggest an earlier was simply this every congressman that comes to office needs to relinquish every credit card they have they're allowed to use credit for a home and a car and that's it then they have to spend their salary on how they live and hopefully they will learn how to balance a budget
You needn't "think" it; he's made it quite clear. This German video has English subtitles available and is very informative (from two years ago no less!).
Well at least 77 million people and 49 of the 50 states who became redder during this election cycle, didn’t feel that way. By the way, Jayna, basket of deplorable‘s didn’t work that well for Hillary either. Oh, and Trump was America’s Sweetheart when he was doing the apprentice and was hanging out with THE view and all the celebrities. Again once he put an R in front of his name. Game over
Rump was always a malignant narcissist. Wouldn't rent his NY condos to African Americans. Bought a modeling agency so he could fu*k all the models (close friend of mine heard him say this). Had affairs while his wives were pregnant. America's Sweetheart? He is nothing but a con artist, snake oil salesman. Keep the public entertained while drugging them and raping them.
Re EM, my partner and I would not buy Teslas. EM is as racist and arrogant as Rump. Both of them fit the description of autocrats. This was no landslide, and the press acts as though both of the fu*kers are president already.
If the social net and government services (roads, schools, clean water and air, police protection, public defenders, unspoiled open space--BLM) go south quickly enough, his supporters will notice. Of course they will try to blame Biden administration. Republicans have been planning this takeover step by step since Reagan.
We are watching and listening, and I have my poster board and acrylics ready.
What good are "poster board and acrylics" when the fascist party controls the Presidency, both houses of Congress, the Supreme Court, and most state legislatures? Not to mention, it has the support of most law enforcement agencies and the rank-and-file military. I don't see how poster board and acrylics can overcome such amassed, overwhelming political power.
You know, I keep hearing that, but almost every president is a malignant narcissist. Google it and you’ll see. Sorry Forgot the word sociopath.
Barack Obama being the most recent. By the way, just like children, calling people names like rump. Very childish. And the worst part is when you folks start looking only at one side of the ledger, and don’t look into your own house. Would you like to have a lengthy conversation about Bill Clinton or JFK? Who I happen to love and vote for them both?
Talk about bad The Man lied Underoath while president After having a 10 year affair that came out about two weeks before the election and he still got elected by you guys and I voted for him too twice. Would you like to talk about all the president you had a wandering? PP
The greatest President of my lifetime probably yours was literally screwing everything in sight and everybody knew it and it didn’t mean anything.
Yeah, you keep telling yourself this wasn’t a landslide, but then get yourself a mirror. He’s not only won the popular vote for the first time in 20 years they have control of the presidency, the Senate and the House
They got over 300 votes in the electoral college in the country is red and 49 out of 50 states went redder than before. Including New Jersey, New York, and California. He swept all the swing states and all the battleground states. And frankly, I don’t care if he won by one vote.
I don’t necessarily like the man to be honest what I like is all his policies and his love for America, which hopefully in control this time of the Republicans don’t screw it up will place him as one of the best presidents in American history Who your utter chagrin.
I’m going to make an analogy in another post about the army navy game that I think will head home. I’m not sure if eternity heads or make any difference here but I’m gonna make it anyway.
Clinton and Obama were elitists and narcissistic but not what I call malignant by any stretch. Clinton's affair was with a consenting adult and she kissed and told.
And I think you misspoke there to be honest with you. I don't think it was consenting adults between Bill and Hillary. Ooops just my opinion. By the way, I guess you're OK with having sex while president in the White House with an employee no less which normally would be that that's all you need and then lying about it under oath. Not to mention the 850,000 NDA. W paula i think
One of his affairs, sure. But one of the Donald’s master strokes in 2016 was to invite women wronged by the Klintonnisters (both Bill and Ofbill), up to and including actual rape, to the second debate.
The look on Bill’s face alone was worth watching the debate.
He really wasn't America's sweetheart. I didn't know anyone who watched it and I lived in Texas and Arkansas during that time. No one ever came into work asking if others watched last night's Apprentice.
“Reality” TV has done an immense amount of damage by selling unreality like “The Apprentice.” Trump was likely in need of more income and the show sold him like he was a serious, prosperous businessman. He is actually a fake and a con artist. One of the first things the producers did was to replace the shabby and worn furniture in Trump’s offices.
Other shows also showcased bad behavior as bringing rewards, like conniving, dirty tricks, backstabbing and undermining others. Richard Hatch won the first version of “Survivor” by doing all of these things, then went to prison after he was convicted of tax evasion. It’s hardly a surprise some people think these behaviors are acceptable. Fox News engages in the false claim that it’s mere “entertainment,” but people take their past and present reporting of lies, half-truths and misinformation seriously, and the mainstream media outlets are adopting their tactics.
I never watched one episode and I wasn’t close enough to New York to know about some of his historical battles
The only thing I saw was the man who loved America, and was willing to take a bullet and stand up to that and to take being called all the names he was called and remain reticent. You might wanna look it up 95% of the media I registered democrats, 92% of all university professors are all registered democrats 90% of all the journalists are registered democrats.
It doesn't take an R for Trump. He opens his mouth and most sane people recognize he is a con man. But some people fall for con men. My sister did, two times! Now is broke and sick and with no will to go on.
Well for what it's worth he has a chain of hotels and golf courses all over the world with 22,000 employees he's a billionaire and he's ascended it to the presidency twice.
Not too shabby a resume
And I wouldn't say most same people unless you're calling 77 million people insane. Basket of deplorable didn't work too well for Hillary either. If I get a chance, I want to send out a generic message about the interview interviews at the army Navy game and the moral message that came after it.
U.K. - South Africa’s part of the Commonwealth - he’s allowed.
Germany - the AfD is the only hope. It’s the LEAST Nazi Party in the emerging Fourth “Reich”.
These days anti-Sémitism in Europe is overwhelmingly due to the recent invaders “invited” in by Unfrau Burqel. In Germany the AfD is the only Party to object to this.
This “supporting an actual neo-Nazi party in Germany” stuff is total bollox.
JD Vance’s suggestion that military support should be withdrawn from countries like Germany if they keep on suppressing free speech is an excellent one.
I mean, what’s the point of opposing Putin if you’re going to act like him?
A joke from Ottawa’s appropriate here:
What’s the difference between Justin and Putin?
One bars people from leaving the country, locks up opponents for far longer than legal (like you guys with the Jan Sixers, come to think of it, I hope the Donald not only pardons them but works out a way of compensating them), freezes opponents’ bank accounts, and has mounted police taser and baton journalists.
The other’s President of Russia.
To paraphrase Muhammad Ali, no Putin invited invaders into my country to replace me, eat my cats, drop off planeloads of illegals on my community by night, and calling me racist for objecting.
Stop with the nonsense and every time you use Nazi you lose 100% of your credibility
If you’d like to regain the credibility, let’s spend a week at Auschwitz. Let’s lie down in the ovens or spend an hour in a blacked out gas chamber or see the piles and piles of glasses of the victims of the nazis. Then you’ll understand why you should never use the word And this society to apply to any human being
And now you just lost 110% gross a bit credibility it didn’t work well for the Democrats during the campaign and it’s only gonna get the right more votes as a dead, especially from all the ridiculous court cases. I guess you don’t listen to your own news. Everybody’s going to see Hitler at Mar-a-Lago. Hmmm
And Biden even invited Hitler to the White House. You’re really oughta come to terms with what’s going on in your head. Put the hate in your back pocket and support the country
The AfD does not hide who they are. If you are unable to comprehend things, that's ok. I don't care what you believe lmfao. You'll see. But you'll blame it on democrats or whatever instead of recognizing these rich pricks don't care about you either. 👍
ALSO. Wtf are you talking about? The post you responded to is about how ELON MUSK is supporting an actual neo-nazi party in GERMANY. This thread that I am replying to did not call trump Hitler. YOU TOOK IT THERE.
I’m responding to a very number of posts here including one post it suggested that Trump is an autocrat and I just responded to that one
Obviously, you haven’t read some of the other posts. Where are they referred to Trump as a Hitler and a Nazi. I didn’t bring it up. They did somebody on the blog.here
You know, Rich Spender, you don't get to decide who has credibility or not or what percentage of credibility anyone has. Just as the son of an admitted Nazi-admirer and South African white supremacist whom you have repeatedly praised here has not been elected to anything at all, you have not been elected to be the one who assigns credibility to others.
Bunkerboy's HERO IS ADOLF HITLER. His supporters would FOLLOW HIM TO THE GRAVE . . . like good little NAZIS. It's a shame the comparison offends you when it is so apt!
My guess? We won't discover Bunkerboy's crematoriums for his enemies for a long time.
Wow, before I was just having a discussion now I actually feel nothing but pity… He’s going to be around for another three or four years
And if you keep it up, it’s gonna be 12. Because if things are going well in three years, he’s going to resign and give JD Vance the reins and then JD Vance will be in the White House for the next eight years. So probably a good thing to stop the name calling like children.
Rick Sender you make me laugh. 47 is insane and you are attributing well thought out actions for the future of the White House occupation. Give me a break. That nut job will toss vp Vance in front of a high speed train if he opens his mouth the wrong way. I think
E M might get a bigly surprise also. That 270 million will buy only so much off of the big blow hole and the cash drawer is open.
You’d be surprised. And you’ll be really disappointed if he does what I suggested, which I think they have possibly planned. As Trump ages, I don’t think anyone would question whether or not, he passes the torch to Vance during his administration. And if the country is doing well, and Vance continues to do well he’s likely to get reelected for eight more years.
Mr. Sender you nothing more than a TROLL. And your IGNORANCE is glaring. Are you not aware of the admiration that Trump holds for Adolf Hitler or do you have your own delusions that a 4 star Marine General who worked side by side with Trump in the WH for 2 years lied? Are you unaware that yes - "Mein Kemp" was seen in his bookshelves? Why would anyone - who is not a student of political history have a copy of that? And did you know that his father was arrested (they found the newspaper articles to confirm the story) for participating, as a member of the Ku-Klux-Klan in Queens because of the Jews and Catholics moving into the borough? No one is paying any attention to your 💩.
Do you know what the word troll means and situations like this? It means you don't wanna hear what I have to say. It's just a deflection from reading the content.
However, I'll indulge you
Donald Trump is the biggest supporter of Israel at this country has ever had so much for your BS. He actually was the first president in 40 years to actually keep his promise and move the capital of Israel to where it should be long and there are billboards across Israel With his face on it knowing that he will take care of them and he's already Threatened Hamas, that if they don't return the hostages by the time he takes office, there will be hell to pay and assuredly there willbe.
By the way, that general has since changed his tune, but that's not important. What you should know is that people like the military are supposed to follow the commander and chief and if they don't they get fired or they leave and then they're called disgruntled employees and they tend not to agree with the leader or his direction so to speak and I'm sure you're familiar with that.
So you're gonna blame him for the fault of his father. Maybe John Kennedy should've never been president because of what his father was.?
Why don't you enter the 21st-century? Why don't you judge Trump on what he does as president or what he did as president and evaluate why he's back in the White House that would be something interesting for you to do maybe some introspection
And I don't care if people are listening or they're not listening if two people listen and get a different side of the story. Maybe they'll look at things from a different perspective.
Joe Biden was a close friend of Robert Byrd hmmm and Joe Biden actually protested the first integration of blacks into white communities at by busing in Boston. Go read up on it. Maybe Joe Biden should've never been president for doing that
I'll bite: you say "Why don't you judge Trump on what he does as president or what he did as president...." I often hear Trump supporters say, often with a tone of adoration, that "he did so much for us....we love him because he has done so much for us...." but no one ever asks: WHAT did he "do for us?"
So, since you are clearly a Trump-afficianado, please tell us: what did he "do for us?" Please do not include the huge tax cuts for the richest of the rich. We know he did that but not for "most of us." But please: what did HE do?
No, but it sure ended up there didn’t it. I did more than visit OK. There is nobody alive today that could be accused of being a Nazi like Hitler, until they start killing, innocent people, and throwing them in concentration camps.
First of all, YouTube is a left-wing hack business, but assuming he is interested in a political position. I was talking about is enriching himself monetarily…. do you have a problem with him running for office for example?
He could never be president. He could run for Congress, I suppose. Would you have a problem with that if he were an ardent Democrat? Just asking for a friend.
So....everything on YouTube is a "left wing hack" product? Does that include all of the coverage of The Rump and MoneyMusk and J.D. Vance and .... so on.....??
No, they won't get away with that. Took the Nazis years of slowly oppressing the Jews. The uninformed will get squeezed financially and have their civil rights eroded. I keep eyes and ears open and wait, and pray that the high profile rational folks in government don't get jailed or stuck in court.
The mainstream press and the 0.01%ers-- shameful, disgusting, cowardly.
That is true, but the ultimate result was the ultimate result and I'm pretty sure that we won't have 6 million Jews put the death here or 5 million other non-Jews. Ok?
After the deadly attack on a German Christmas market yesterday, which the government posted on X-Twitter, Muskrat tweeted that Chancellor Olaf Scholz is an „incompetent fool.”
Musk is more dangerous than Trump. I didn’t think anyone could be worse but there he is.
He must be blocked from his DOGE scheme. So far he’s received 20 billion dollars in contracts from the government and he wants to say how our tax money is spent? That is a blatant conflict of interest.
As long as "the world" treats him as if he IS "king of the world" he is allowed to believe that. Starting with the United States, and with our only hope being the Democrats - as disquieting as that fact is - they MUST put a full-stop to this whole scheme of putting un-elected self-dealing plutocrats in charge of our government with direct impact, and devastating intentions, to all of our lives!
Elon has probably been playing too many Video Games, and Smoking too much Katamine... Elon is not a Degreed Engineer, Financier, or Coder... He just got lucky during Dot.Com 1.0 with funding from his Family, and used his Winnings to Invest in other Businesses... Like DJT, he Relentlessly Self-Promotes....
The poor people who vote MAGA will not destroy themselves until they have destroyed the whole country first. Even then, they will not care, because the liberals will end up suffering, too. After our country is destroyed, the rich (who are Republican donors) will buy up everything and everyone. We will be their slaves. They will OWN us. They will make all the laws, so that they benefit from them, and not us. He who has the gold makes the rules, you know.
Forty hour work week? Gone.
Minimum wage? Ditto.
Laws to enable women to make all of their own medical decisions the way men are allowed to? Nope.
It’s the 1850’s that they want to take us back to, not the 1950’s.
I will be wearing this "Totally Unhinged Radical Liberal" t-shirt the next four years 👇
We should start with the Basics.... Repeal Citizens United... Strengthen Election Safeguards... Australia limits Election Contributions to $20,000 Aus. ...That way Elections can't easily be bought...
Well, the rodent king is the poster child that demonstrates >exactly< what I've meant and gotten blowback for years: "Capitalism is as inherently antidemocratic and backward in every way Communism is inherently antidemocratic and backward." Backward?
In times past, all capital resources were monopolized by kings, emperors, and other royalty. The point of fighting wars of aggression was acquisition of real estate and all the capital resources that real estate could provide - including the people living there. Think of yourselves as a capital resource to a plutocrat to get a vague glimpse into the state of mind those who had to suffer living under it - and are still living under it in a large part of the world - might have felt. The kind of fealty that sort of tyrant requires is the same as willingly agreeing to being the "liege's" chattel, to be disposed of as necessary. That's how the multiply convicted felon, jury adjudicated sexual predator and serial slanderer, along with his good pal "the rodent king" view US citizens. There's high probability some "interbreeding" will come to pass - as was always common amongst royalty. Compare that with what we've been hearing advocated, of late. Compare it with "family values," as well! Capitalism is about control of capital resources, and money is but one kind of capital resource. You and yours are capital resources, as well. Never forget that.
I can't disagree with anything you have said. Although I don't know why you would include a link to a message ending with a blessing on behalf of an imaginary being. Cheers.
I just like this guy. I agree with him in most cases, have messaged him that I'd be delighted to hear a sermon he gives in church should the opportunity arise, but cautioned him that I don't embrace a legendary friend in the sky, as I reminded him of Thomas, the skeptic. He loved my reply.
Having said that, I included his piece because it recognizes the condition we now face, affirms that what we are seeing is the reality of the condition we now face, and his blessing is just his way of saying "hang in there and keep the faith, folks." I don't see how that could do anything but be a pep talk we all need at this juncture. I also think it important for those of us who possess the - shall I say - gift of faith, that nobody here wishes to deprive them of it, and allow their faith reinforced by a good man they may relate to, that I happen to like, as well, and generally agree with on all but one issue - the same issue you take.
I would never want to deny anyone their gift of faith. I don't have the right. But I am troubled by the harm the religions have done throughout history and still to this day.
Oh how I'm enjoying this contact! No doubt you know that Idle is an atheist, but did you know that he does not like using the word because "it implies that there's a God not to believe in."
(PS I subscribe to MM as well...Just haven't had time lately)
Agreed. "Star Wars" and "Dune" are SciFi comments on theology. Dune is more a comment on messianic faith, whereas Star Wars is more essential, dealing with the "demiurge," which bifurcates as the light side and dark side of "the force." You see that play out in just about every major religion that comes down the pike today. Religions generally have a social side that unifies, as well as an antisocial side - the light side and dark side of the force (the demiurge). Here are a couple of links that discuss the demiurge you may find of interest:
Let me hasten to remind you I'm no bible basher. I just happen to have an interest in motivation that's sort of like the following links - following on Pavlov - that I find captivating:
You've absolutely intrigued me. Sadly, these days I find I need to come to places like this and a couple of other non-mainstream news site for rational & reasonably intelligent discussions and mental stimulation. Even more sadly, my life is in utter chaos due to fire & H2O damage forcing me out of me home, (I won't bore you any further) so I find my time (and mental energy) limited.
Melissa Brzescinski, he didn't win, I honestly think he cheated. Many computer experts have detailed how it was done and also think the numbers don't add up. It's not being a conspiracy theorist either, it's the reality of our situation. Recounts should be done but nobody's requesting them. At least I'm not aware of it happening. 😞
that's disconcerting because if Dems don't recognize what's going on or how the right wing is rigging elections...they are doomed to lose most elections no???
In that rapist pedophile's defense, he won 26% of the vote to Vice President Harris's 25%. Those that were too anti-American to vote are the cause of his plurality "win."
I think I read he gained 48% of those that DID care about America's future but were "exceptional" to VP Harris's 46%. Pretty pathetic they forgot Bunkerboy's FOUR recessions and 1,000,000+ kill count.
There IS still a future where he will not be able to kill us all: President Biden CAN still use the 14th Amendment . . .
There’s a lot of good evidence the voting machine codes were switched in specific crucial areas of the country. That was written up but not pursued, for some reason.
Well, thank you for that quite erudite response there, Melissa. The sad news is that I’m correct in that Sea and liberals and democrats should be a little bit more introspective
The Russians hacked into Polish election machines, but it was caught just prior to the polling days… it’s not beyond the realm of possibility. I forget which election but I read it in The Road to Unfreedom.
Here’s something you might consider Faye. Would you rather have a multi-millionaire in office or would you rather have an average citizen in office for 20 years who, on a government salary, becomes a multimillionaire because of his position?
Almost all the comments indicate that the liberals are not happy with all the so-called millionaires as his cabinet choices. I’m only responding to what I’m reading. That was the reason for my remark.
In other words, vote term limits or this will never stop.
Pretty much everywhere. But here’s something you might want to try to see how biased the legacy media is and the social media group was until Musk ( Who bought an economic loser just to open up free speech) opened up Twitter to everybody. Google some generic, even non-political item with a name… see how many pages it takes or how many links it would take to get to a conservative website. I hadn’t really noticed this, but recently, I just put Gore/ bush into my browser. Nothing else. 216 links later OAN was found other than that. Not only were there all liberal or Democrat sites such as CNN, MSNBC etc. your usual suspects but even liberal newspapers from small towns called gazette, or called the dispatch… they were listed long before OAN and Fox wasn’t listed until 15 links after OAN which was 220 some odd links later. I found it quite interesting so I did a number of times, and it was essentially the same thing
How is that even possible without breaking the rules? How do you even compare the two? For myself, it’s not about how wealthy someone is. It’s about actually being committed to doing the right thing in spite of donations and pacs that are strictly about getting their way. Aren’t they instructed to represent their constituents?
So, who exactly are you referring to? Are you 100% agree with your assertion that their job is to represent your constituents. And why do you think that that Musk is not one of those people. Goodness for him and opening up Twitter, which cost him about $30 billion of loss. Trump for example had been eliminated from a number of social media companies only to receive apologies lately including Zuckerberg. Free speech. And now that it’s there, as I mentioned earlier, before amazingly enough, blue sky was invented. Not that it’s a bad place, but it’s a place like this that only cares from one side of the aisle and the lemmings just follow along. Important to hear both sides of an argument or an issue just like in a quart room before rendering judgment. And not with a crystal ball or a Ouija board
Sorry, I’m voice texting and I have a lot of responses to make. So if I happen to use the wrong word or of auto correct catches me by mistake I apologize hopefully you’ll get the message. Thank you
You'd think but the 18th century language is vague on this point. It is "assumed" the Speaker of the House of Representatives, would be a sitting Representative of the same chamber. But it doesn't specify that in writing. The other problem of birth is sort of skirted around in Article2, Sections 4, 5, and 6. Upon removal of both President and Vice President the Speaker of the House of
Representative serves as "acting President" either until the end of the current Presidents term or a new election i called.
However this whole discussion is predicated on a continuing democracy. But the 2025ers prefer a theocratic dictatorship and a kick in the butt for the Constitution.
Apparently Putins propagandists started the whole Obama is not American thing. Trump picked it up. There is a straight line from Putin to Trump going back to the 1980s
The project 2025/ mAGA and extremist evangelical movements are aligned with Putin in as much as they consider a pure past, a mythical future where everything is ‘perfect’ and to get there they have to vilify people who don’t believe that, who are different. And to get there they have to repeat lies. But also tell lies that contradict the other lies. Putin did this internally in Russia regarding the Ukrainian War propaganda.
True. But if your family was stationed in a foreign country for the military or for diplomatic reasons, your child is a US citizen. That is why John McCain, born in Panama was eligible and Musk is not. Maybe there was no American citizens when the the
Articles of Confederation were written, but the Constitution replaced them and eligibility is explicit in the Constitution. Your statement about founding America is not germane.
Musk also entered the US on a student visa to attend Stanford. He didn't fulfill that stated purpose, so he should have been deported then. His visa was obtained by fraud, so we should kick him out now.
Since he lied on his visa, his citizenship is equally fraudulent. Other visa/citizenship candidates are denied if they make a tiny mistake, let alone enter the country by lying about their plans.
Was he indicted before the statute of limitations passed? That is 10 years. Section 3291 of Title 18 provides that prosecutions for violations of nationality, citizenship, and passport laws, or a conspiracy to violate such laws, shall be commenced within ten years after the commission of the offense.
I really wish that people would stop calling Musk the “richest person in the world.” Most of his perceived wealth is in stock and stock options in highly overvalued companies, the kind of house of cards that has a tendency to collapse on itself. Musk is actually cash-poor, and all or most of his maneuvering on Trump’s behalf will be with the intent of shoring up his own precarious finances.
Thank you for emphasizing this fact. His wealth is in "paper," grossly overpriced stock and unrealized gains. Wikipedia has a comprehensive write up on him and on Tesla.
As news stories made clear, he was giving money only to select individuals, registered Republicans, and not even as many of those as his “contest” claimed.
I have long said that Musk suffers from Magellan syndrome. Let me explain. When Magellan famous for his ship's first circumnavigation of the globe reached the Philippines, he knew what he had accomplished and became unbearable in his all-consuming pride. Western man had already reached the Philippines from Europe pursuing the spice trade. The island natives found him unsufferable and offed him, which I why he never made it back to Europe.
While I don't wish that I Musk, it is time to take him off the stage.
Actually, Musk should be elected leader of the free world. Watch and learn what happens to our government and how much waste and fraud there is that will no longer be.
What evidence is there that Elon Musk knows anything about efficiency? His takeover of Twitter was catastrophic, firing huge swaths of people and then realizing they were needed and having to hire them back, ultimately making "X" an uglier and more deceitful platform and a sliver of its former self. Tesla can't move cybertrucks to the point they're paying people to stay home. Any NASA operation that crashed as many rockets as SpaceX would have been shut down long ago. The only thing he brings to the table is his ability to financially power through his bad decision making, the essence of inefficiency.
He’s now the richest man in the world by about a couple hundred billion dollars. He could live on a mere 5 billion a year and have more money when he dies than he has now I don’t think he’s trying to enrich himself. Plus, no one really had a problem with Musk until he put an R in front of his name.
His ego is as large as his wealth. And he was more of a libertarian than a Democrat. I have been reading his retorts to anyone who disagrees with him. I particularly like his “We coup when we want to coup.” Remember that one?
And I hope they are a semi referent and can get along on the same goal lowering the bloat getting rid of the pork and fat and if any of the people on this site go and see how we're spending our money and what waste it. It's actually pathetic and Congress lets it happen which is even more pathetic.
Musk’s power to threaten members of Congress with funding opponents will be taken away by Congress passing a strict campaign finance reform bill, which they should have done years ago anyway. But given that both sane Republicans and moderate Democrats are being threatened by MUsk, perhaps they can craft a bipartisan bill that would stand up to a Trump veto. Wouldn’t that defund the musk-rat?
The DNC should accept all billionaire contributions, dark or otherwise, that will support returning this nation to a democracy. Until we repeal Citizens United.
So let’s see Obama appointed two people to the Supreme Court . Biden appointed one person to the court and I call it a person because it wasn’t sure if it was a woman or not; and then Trump appointed three which makes three appointed by the most recent presidents for the most recent appointments!
So let's see -- Democrats appointed 3 justices over 3 terms (1 per term) and Trump appointed 3 in 1 term. That's not equal at all.
If you extend the comparison to an equal number of terms for each party by adding in W's 2 terms in office, he appointed two so that's five... So in the last 6 terms, 3 of which were Republican and 3 were Democrat, 8 of the current 9 justices were appointed -- 3 by Democrats and 5 by Republicans.
But that's getting a little bit complicated, isn't it? So let's keep it simple -- the corrupt ones are Republicans.
Are you the arbiter on someone’s gender with no qualifications and no expertise? And Biden’s appointment is the most recent or are you calendar confused? Anyway. What is your point?
Waste of time to argue with a Trump fan. Anyone who thinks a person who has cheated others all his life - very documented - won’t keep cheating everyone including his fans is a lost cause.
Biden’s faults are irrelevant even if true. Trump is a con artist and the I told you so’s will soon flow. No matter how bad Biden might be if he is indeed bad, no one has a more solid track record of conning people than Trump. Ricky wouldn’t be trolling if he felt confident he made a good choice.
Have you seen the autocracy that Joe Biden has just completed in the past week in a condition that doesn’t even allow him to stand up straight?
He just gave Angola $1 billion when there’s hundreds of thousands of homeless on the streets and impoverished. He just gave Ukraine $200 billion that we certainly could’ve used here first to feed the hungry and homeless and to provide other benefits without money like 100 1 billion just allotted in this latest build of Congress pass to provide money for the suffering of the hurricane disaster. We could’ve used it there instead of Ukraine.
And then he lied about not pardoning Hunter and then he pardoned him anyway, which everybody thought he would, and I have no problem with it at all, but he should’ve lied about it in the first place. And the worst thing about his partner was that he told World he knew nothing about Hunter‘s business. He would never talk to Hunter about his business. He had no involvement with his hunters business yet he knew the exact day from when to pardon him till now. Now Joe will have to pardon an entire litany of his family all the way down to nieces and nephews, so that they don’t start investigating those folks
He also tried another round of refunds for student loans which you and I will have to pay for and we’re responsible for. There’s an autocrat for you right there.
Yeah, that’s where all the cowards go Kevin you’ll run right to blue sky because you can’t stand the balance of X anymore. Twitter used to be 69% Democrats 31% Republicans but now that it’s 50-50 the liberals had to invent blue sky so they wouldn’t have to hear both sides of the story.
Thankyou for the update! Having the media blink while Democratic norms are shattered is overwhelming. An unelectable drug addict,illegal alien from So.Africa with all the white supremacy baggage,whose subsidized Billions came from my tax dollars walk into Congress and stop legislation is simply infuriating. His next trick will be merging X with Truth Social to control the propaganda arm of Trumps Dictatorship. I weep for my country. I’m So Embarrassed to be an American right now.
Mike Hammer, he's as bald as a billiard ball and got a shitty hair transplant job some years ago..... maybe the "hair" he got is falling out again.... Too bad it all doesn't fall out. That would put a dent in his overblown ego. 😂
So you’re looking at a dementia ridden president and you’re making fun of trump? . I’m guessing you heard/saw the Wall Street Journal article yesterday about how they were protecting him for the last 3 1/2 years.
And the lack of honesty is One of the reasons why you lost the election.
They are even going back to Afghanistan and saying he probably didn’t make that decision. That’s how long ago his weakened condition has been.
I believe very simply had envoked the 25th amendment A Democrat would’ve been in the White House. They talked about the 25th amendment during trumps administration ministration, and now he’s being reelected, but they wouldn’t even whisper it about Biden. Shame
Musk is actively interfering with the UK and German governments, supporting an actual neo-Nazi party in Germany.
Whatever his ultimate goal, he clearly wants to break Western democracies.
This scumbag needs to be stopped!
I wouldn't mind if this immigrant was deported!
I'd be happy to donate towards a one way ticket.
"Donate?"
Put him on one of those "tramp steamers" headed to Johannesburg, SA.
He's protecting himself from that by putting his six year old son on his shoulders as a shield. He's a sick mo fo.
Or he's trying to make himself look like a "normal Dad" just taking his son to work, you know, to the Oval Office. Not normal, not no-how.
For real bizarro circus entertainment, have (the)Barron carry the mini-musk on his shoulders, you know, the President's son (or at least the contractual spouse's son) and the President behind the throne's son, or the owner of the President's throne's son.
Well, we can only hope that MoneyManMusk doesn't forget himself and start leaping about in one of his leaping-maniacal laughing episodes with his Mini-Me on his shoulders.
He doesn't have to protect himself. As I said, before, nobody was complaining when he mass-produced the best vehicle in the world, or we shooting rockets that the government couldn't do itself.
I'd like to introduce you to 30,000 children slaughtered in the past year who were no shield to there fathers, mothers or any of their family. Please, please, please keep that kid on your shoulders E. - 24/7/365. We'll call him a Hero, or any other label you want, just so long as he gets the job done.
He can also keep all of daddy's money.
Are you talking about Musk? That guy spreads his “seed” around like a dandelion but if they don’t live up to his expectations he abandons them. Ask his trans daughter.
They are IVF kids his first died of SIDS, so he goes with tech, now in his personal eugenics program.

Well, to everyone's delight I'm gonna be signing off now, but I wanna leave you with one thought having to do with the army navy game this past weekend.
A player from each team one of their leaders was asked a question heading into the game and how they felt about the game
Individually, they each said almost the same thing we want to win this game badly and we're gonna fight to win it
But then something surprising happen and maybe the people on this blog might take light of that Individually, and without the knowledge of what the other one said, they both came out with the same comment afterwards without a question being posed
They both said they want to win this game very badly but when the game is over, we're both on the same side. We're both brothers. We defend and support America.
I wish more people here felt that way.
Sorry, but there's nothing in me that allows me to call neo-Nazis and their moronic fellow travelers "my brothers."
And as a kid, I was a grade school Goldwaterite, so I've had plenty of exposure
Excuse me, but he's allowed to disagree and disapprove With his daughter, is he not ?
I only wish Joe Biden had done the same with Hunter. Where was he when Hunter was in trouble with drugs And Joe got up in the Senate floor and said anyone with a quarters worth of Crack cocaine goes directly to prison no judge no parole ooops. And didn't show Devo any knowledge of his four-year-old granddaughter? Be fair with your response
Im a mother and as a parent I love my child unconditionally. I would never disown my child because of their sexual orientation. I found it very offensive watching him carrying his son on his shoulders showing what a good dad he is. Think about the pain and anger his daughter felt seeing that.
Our country has a long way to go in terms of justice. When it comes to drug enforcement it’s worse. I’m sure you know that when a top drug supplier is busted they loose all of their assets. Home card art etc. The government then sells these assets at auction. Do you know where the money goes? It goes into the general fund. Now if the country really wanted to end the war on drugs wouldn’t you think the money should go toward rehab facilities? But they don’t want to win that particular war, it’s too lucrative.
Hunters story is tragic. I lost my brother years ago and it left a big hole in my heart. I felt like a part of me was missing. My parents were shattered and were in no shape to help me grieve, I had to help them. And I wasn’t the but of a political dog pile. Hunter has suffered enough. His prosecution was politically motivated. It was a joke and what did the likes of Marjory t Green accomplish other than shooting off her mouth? They didn’t work to improve peoples lives they worked to get spots on Fox News.
Well to your total chagrin, you’ll probably stop yourself in three years, and if everything’s going well handed off to Vance, who will then remain in the White House for another eight years. But at least you’ll be rid of him
Trump is Elon's puppet
Pam, you know better than that everybody here says he’s a malignant narcissist. Trump will never take orders from anyone; he delivers them
He happens to agree with musk, as does most of the country with less bloat so we can better take care of the needy and the poor and the homeless and our veterans.AND not continue to raise the deficit every four years.
I say if somebody runs for Congress take away their personal credit cards… they’re not allowed. Now let Congress offer a budget where they can’t exceed what they take in. Then maybe they’ll get the message
As well as term limits immediately, so that they can’t enrich them selves because of their position
A malignant narcissist is not controlled by orders, Rick. He is controlled by praise and compliments. Oh, and Elon is perfectly capable of enriching the malignant narcissist personally to the tune of billions of dollars. That makes this particular coalition incredibly dangerous.
Well, you see it's dangerous. I see it as both of them having mutual goals. Freedom in America. Less government and certainly less expensive government and fraud.
And if they work on that and lower expenses as they say, they will hopefully everybody will see that versus any side note.
I agree with you so are most people RICK. I'm not sure anyone doesn't appreciate compliments.And praise.
I have to disagree with you on the point Elon is the richest man on the planet by 200 billion as I mentioned in an earlier missive, he could live on 10 billion a year and still have more money in the bank then he has now when he dies.
Elon took a big risk in buying Twitter and he didn't buy it for the money RICK he bought it for the free speech because it was a losing proposition going in and now he's lost 30 billion and he could care less
Because before Twitter was 69% democrat 31% republican now that it's 50-50 all the liberal cowards are leaking over to blue sky where they don't have to be hearing the other side of the story an are 't met with confrontation
All they do is commiserate with each other and Whine about the human condition
Hate to disagree with you but as far as Trump is concerned he is following Elon's orders like a a hungry Puppy following his owner for dinner. My Motto "Who needs Putin we have Musk as Trumps Puppeteer.
Nope. Maybe you should catch up Trump had his agenda ready to go along before Elon came along. Elon is just trying to lower the cost of the government and what he did today was exactly that. There was so much waste and pork in the bill that was on the table and if I'm not gonna tire you by reading it to you now but just take a look at 1547 pages dumped on Congress two days before the vote had to come in when they had from September to do this.
Some of the items in this bill were more than offensive. They were disgusting. Why don't you look at the key elements of the bail and you'll understand why it didn't get passed and Johnson got the wall pulled over more than his eyes. They pulled over his whole body. But Trump and musk didn't let it happen.
And if you have a problem with lowering the cost of the government, then shame on you because the government is full of bloat and fraud.
Go out on the street tomorrow and ask anybody if the government wastes money
Case closed
You are naïve if you believe that "less bloat" will be used to the betterment of the "needy and and the poor and the homeless" unless you are putting Musk and his ilk in that category.
'Poor Leon, so rich, yet no one wants him anywhere near them but Trump.'
Really is that what you believe?
Well, don't know if you've ever run a business Or understand indebtedness, you can no longer afford But that's where America is. I believe it's 12 to 15% of our budget is interest for debt reduction We're not paying any of the principal are we? You wanna run a business like that. We need to stop spending more than we're taking in because At some point at some point, we're going to default on our loans
And the people we owe money to are going to be more than pissed.
I suggest you do this which I know you've never done and would never dare to do but try it just for giggles Google Trump administration accomplishments see what you see
LOL. The chances of everything going well in three years is about as good as it went well in trump's first term. You remember he was well and truly trounced? Uh-huh. Dream on, skippy. I think even magas won't vote for him after he gives it to them the hardest.
There’s Hertz, and there’s not exactly. 10,000 total votes in several swing states made the difference of Biden “trouncing” Trump.
Bullshit! Biden won AZ by 11,000, 11,780 votes in Georgia, Pennsylvania by 80,000 votes, and so on!
We have a totally fucked up system for elections! Most of the states have a clear red or blue majority, so NONE of their votes count. A few swing states are close to 50-50. So how those swing is all that matters. When a few thousand votes out of 150 million are all that matter in an election, that is INSANE!
And can anyone have any confidence that their vote is even counted, or not changed? Can anyone have any confidence that ballots were not 'lost', or 'created'? INSANE!
And can anyone today believe that the delegate system makes any sense, where low population state votes get more credit that high population vstate votes? INSANE!
To make voting proper:
1) Funding for elections must be limited to the same amount for each candidate.
2) One person, one vote. period!
3) Electronic ballots with a Voter ID number tied to the actual voter in a secure 'safe' .
4) Voter access to the database of ballots by Voter ID, for checking.
Wow only 10,000 cool. And the only state to stay as blue as it was was Washington state every other state went redder Including New York, California, and New Jersey the bastion of liberal control
And by the way, that's why we have the electoral college So that if three or four states had more population than the rest of the country, they would control the vote.
So Wyoming with a populatio of about 600,000 gets 3 electoral votes and California with a population 39,000,000, and 54 electors makes sense?
That means electors per citizen in Wyoming is about 5, while electors per citizen in California is 1.4.
That is quite a typical red state advantage.
Well, someone else who thinks he has a crystal ball and an Ouija board at work. We see a sunrise coming up we see optimism, we see prices coming down. We see more drilling, more oil, more exporting of our natural resources. I guess I will only say time will tell. But I would certainly love to hear your admission if it does go well, because that would be a real treat. And I think the chances of you “fessing up” are zero
Prices will go up & inflation with it if Trump applies his 10%-25% or greater tariffs on imported goods. The consumer. will pay those percentages, not the country from which imported and not the American importer; they’ll
just pass the cost on down the line to YOU & every other working poor American & middle class. It wont touch the lifestyles of the rich like Musk, Trump & their ilk.
Pamela is tariffs are not only terrorist for the sake of tariffs, but also a negotiating tool and they've already worked with Canada and Mexico, who have agreed to stop the caravans I've sincerely doubt that the tariffs will actually be effectuated. But you might not know that Biden kept almost all of Trump's tariffs and added a few of his own. But look what happened yesterday with the stock market, which was not just about the stock market, but bought the future of the economy and Bidenomics.
The fed chair stated he wasn't pleased with the direction of the economy, and didn't think that inflation would continue to come down and therefore reduce the number of rate cuts and tanked the market again an indicator of the current economic progress of the Biden administration
Exactly what we don't need: more drilling. We are already culpable for the murder of future generations of humans so that we can live "in comfort." I would like to see us at least try to make Earth habitable as long as we still can. Can you imagine the terror and absolute horror those final generations will experience because of our selfishness?
I might also mention that drilling is more than drilling for the sake of drilling and producing more product, but it's also a bargaining chip to the other oil producing companies/countries in the world. We took away Russia's glut of money from their oil production, and he runs as well and made it less probable for them to start waging war when they were not earning billions of dollars more through their oil, production or distribution
And now the European Union has tentatively agreed to buy natural gas and other pet petroleum products from us rather than from Russia so it's also a bargaining chip
RICK, I'm sorry we don't agree. We are currently living in comfort and one of the funniest things I've said to people is if you didn't watch TV what would you know about climate change?
Here's the other thing almost every climate change prediction since the 1960s has been incorrect. And they keep pointing at the main culprit, which is Co2, which is .04% of our atmosphere.
At some point if you'd like me to delineate all the errors and all the miscalculations in thinking that climate changes an existential threat. All tangible evidence to the contrary.
Fossil fuels are currently the sustaining life on this planet and as plants and animals die, they will continue to be until we get back to using nuclear which we are starting to do again
There are a litany of predictions made by thousands of scientists and by thousands of dignitaries and by movies, etc., that have all been wrong, including for example, when you think of climate change, it's not weather and back in the 1960s, the prediction by a great group of people were the coming of the next ice age where the mail Placio layers would come down as far south as as Carolina
If you didn't know that climate change even existed or that the word climate change were appropriate. In the same sentence you never know anything happened.
Dream on. The economy tanked under Trump, and recovered under Biden. Tariffs alone cause prices on all imported goods to rise. Including food. Trump has essentially killed off Ford, Harley Davidson, John Deer, in his claimed quest to bring back manufacturing to the US.
Drill baby Drill? That is Putin's way to get money.
" The 2024 Atlantic hurricane season was a very active and extremely destructive Atlantic hurricane season which became the second costliest on record, inflicting at least $220 billion in damages and 400 deaths overall, most of which was caused by four systems: Beryl, Debby, Helene, and Milton."
"The most expensive hurricane season in the United States on record was 2017, when the total damage was over $300 billion after adjusting for inflation. This was due to two major hurricanes that made landfall in the United States during the season: Hurricane Harvey in Texas and Hurricane Irma in Florida. Hurricane Maria also devastated Puerto Rico during this season."
But, I guess you think Climate Change is a 'Chinese Hoax'.
If Congress hadn’t been able to come to a compromise continuing resolution, people who had their property destroyed by Helene would have received no help. Climate change intensifies storms.
Well, I'm laughing at you when you say the Atlantic hurricane season the Atlantic hurricane season was dead this year dead. All the deadly hurricanes began in the Gulf of Mexico or south of that not in the Atlanta coming off the African continent while the other people kept making excuses for why it wasn't happening.
In the meantime, El Niño and La Niña control everything
You know I've been following climate change for 60 years. And just so you know for the last few years I've been analyzing the so-called Noa and other climate scientist predictions for major storms and they've been about 50% correct but this year they were even more incorrect. In the month of August this year they kept wondering why there was no hurricane formation or tropical storm formation and they kept going. What's wrong. What's going on here? They overestimated the number of storms at the beginning of the season and all of a sudden storm started to rise in the Gulf of Mexico instead of the Atlantic. And you should wonder why that is.
But with every storm, especially with inflation, the cost of damage goes up, especially when the storms hit areas that are seldom hit like western North Carolina.
And I love the people that talk about for storms this year that's called weather. Ted climate is evaluated in terms of decades.
Ford killed off itself by the direction. It started to produce cars and EV's that didn't sell.
Not sure about your other assertions, but Biden kept almost all of Trump tariffS
And it wasn't tariffs that increased food prices
Hopefully, you'll see that once Trump takes office.
By the way, those with good negotiating skills might realize a tariffs are not just terrorist for the sake of being tariffs, but are also negotiating tools, which have worked well with Canada and Mexico
The problem/issue with America is that it became comfortable with buying things cheaper in order to do that they had to buy things from countries with incredibly cheap labor which started probably publicly with Levi's years ago, but that was just one example now everything is made in places like Indonesia and Guatemala, Nicaragua Bangladesh and that's what brings prices down and Americans don't want to pay the higher prices. They just want higher salaries, but they don't understand business because obviously higher salaries means higher prices which is exactly what happened to the restaurant industry in California. It's collapsing where profits used to be 4 to 5 times what they are today. And people could get more money from CDs than they came from running a business with all its risks.
And one day, you'll understand by the way the drill baby drill is not only good for Putin but good for America because complain as you might right now fossil fuels are what drives the world's businesses.
Thank goodness people are coming back to their senses and with a little bit of deregulation nuclear plants will come back online as they are planning to do including 3 mile Island it's only reregulation that stopped it
And I'm still getting a kick of your comment about the Atlanta hurricane season I have commentary from all the other people, including Noa about why aren't there more storms developing in the Atlantic the whole month of August? I kept talking about on slot of storms and they never occurred. But going back to my earlier point that's weather.
Not climate
Well, Trump's first term went excellently. In fact, if not for a Covid, Trump would be leaving the right house right now not coming into it. But I bet you're one of those armchair quarterbacks I can tell us and your vast experience and scientific knowledge how you would handle a once in a lifetime new virus global pandemic. Prices were down. Gas was affordable mortgage at 3% not seven crime was down. The world was safe no wars. The border was as close as the Democrats would allow it to be and inflation was 1.9% when he handed her over to Biden and Biden got it all the way down to 9.1%. Ooops
Be careful what you wish for. JD was hand picked by the Silicon Valley oligarchs (of whom Musk is just the richest) for the specific task of outliving Trump.
Peter Thiel owns JD Vance. Vance is not and never will be competent to do his job. All he’ll do is lie as much as Trump does.
“If everything is going well”
That’s a pretty big IF.
I wish I had as much expertise about the future as half the people here that's why I say if
Nobody knows what's gonna happen tomorrow evening
Well to some people it's bigger than others most of the people on the right don't think it's a big if they think it's a relative certainty. They are more optimistic and as well, more supportive of the incoming president. But yes anything in the future is an If
DEPORT HIS ASS but not before SEIZING HIS ASSETS!
I believe Norway is not selling teslas in their country anymore. From what I understand, it'll mean a lot less explosions since it's said teslas tend to explode a lot.
Electrical vehicles so far do not do well in cold climates. The battery doesn't run as long or as far.
Please define a lot and the reason for their explosion.
I bought my first Tesla in 2014 and haven't been to a gas station since. And now I have two parked in the garage an S and a Y best cars I've ever driven and I've driven them all from Mercedes on down.
Yes and just to further piss him off give the money to a charitable foundation.
Then he'd just target and destroy charities.
Of they are even there as in real and legit. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.
Musk's Interference is in Alignment with Putin's... Remember Musk is Chummy with Putin...
Putin is the second richest guy in the world. They talk.
The only reason musky is in the running for richest man/immigrant, is the US grants/contracts for his ridiculous space program to Mars BS. Put him on the next rocket.
SpaceX falcon 9 has 9 Merlin engines. Put him and 8 oligarch friends on the business ends of the rockets. Bonus the rockets are reusuable. A lot of Oligarchs could go up in following flights. Their bodies contribution to carbon emissions would have an outside good effect on climate legislation.
Tesla was the biggest reason. $7500 tax credits each. And Carbon credits paid by his competitors. A much bigger reason than Space X.
Wait a minute I thought you liked immigrants
Rumor is Putin is the richest,
who knows?
He is, but he has to keep it in foreign banks
Putin came to an agreement with his oligarchs that they would share their wealth with him. He also lets the computer crooks operate with impunity as long as they only target the West and leave Russians alone.
Putin is actually richer, he raped an entire country, and he has wealth hidden everywhere.
And where does Putin spend his money?
All republicans are. They're going to hand it all over to Putin in exchange for positions in the new dictatorship government. They will all bend a knee to Vladdie. Trump and muskrat will do more than bend a knee. They'll offer head.
Hence their name: Red Russian Republican Party.
Wow TRDS in full bloom
“Bend a knee”… a bit like you guys in 2020?
Musk is chummy with anyone who does business with do you think that’s stupid do you think that’s wrong? I don’t like it, but this has become a global economic issue. Things are a changin in the business world. AI Will soon be omnipresent to some degree
Elon has extensive Sensitive USG Contracts, and a TS Security Clearance... Putin placed Bounties on our Troops in Afghanistan... Do You Think That Putin Is Our Friend?... Does Elon Musk Submit Reports To The USG Detailing His Conversations With Putin?
So what business does Musk do with Putin? Other than cutting off Ukraine's communication?
Musk feeds Putin's need for interference with and control of tRUMP.
I tend to think that due to too much Video-Gaming, LSD, and Katamine… Elon now sees the World as a Video Game… He may have Hallucinations of Grandeur… Russia, and it’s Allies are just Chess Pieces to be Seized…
Well, I guess we'll see Maybe Hunter could help him out.
Or you could wait to see if that's true and then make a judgment that might even make more sense
We Shall See... All Comes To One That Waits... For The SW USA Indigenous, We Have A Saying... "Coyote Waits"...
Welcome back, Mr. Apache and I agree with you 100% all comes to those that wait. We need to stop guessing. About tomorrow.
I think he just wants to take over the whole world.
Definitely Hallucinations Of Grandeur!!!
What does Putin do with oligarchs who get too big for their britches? Hmmm he assassinates them in very creative ways.
It all goes back to RUSSIA.
Sure it does
Get a new Ouija board
Read Timothy Snyder’s Road to Unfreedom. Underline the names of people he mentions. Draw links between names when he provides a reference to a relationship with an intent. Pay attention to Russian cyber warfare goals to take over Western Europe and American minds to destroy the West. Follow the money and debts as well as who the Kremlin props up . Learn about which American reps show up on RT. Which ones spout exact Kremlin talking points.
It’s irrefutable but often western journalism has failed us. They’re also now funded by the wealthy. These wealthy oligarchs keep company.
Putin’s right hand man Dugin is behind much of the strategy.
As I said earlier, musk is chummy with anyone he does business with. It's not likely you're gonna get business and be an antagonist with your clients
He is such a talented multitasker—interfering with multiple countries.
Multitasking is most likely a myth. Being super-busy and always rushing
from place to place is probably the result of 1) bad planning and
2) being led to believe that a person needs to learn to live at the speed of the newest digital device. That cannot happen and trying to do so is a waste of one’s life, eyes glued to the 3×4 square clutched by two hands.
So Richard, you're really judging Elon Musk as to how he handles his business. ?
Don’t be jealous Linda. You know, I didn’t hear a peep out of you guys. When he was launching missiles and rockets , they could come back without needing to throw them out. Long before he was involved in public politics
Didn’t hear you complaining when he was launching electric vehicles that would create a better green environment. But the second someone puts an R in front of their name, their free game.
Rick Sender, very subtle trolling. "You guys"???? You don't live on this planet, in the US? Wherever and whoever you are, you and the rest of us are going to feel the impact of Mumpism (Trump +Musk) and their malevolent governance and greed.
It may be best not to feed the trolls
Sandy, that's a good defense mechanism, but it does not make you aware of what else is going on you in the world that you may not be seeing here
Yeah, and they choke on their vomit.
Mumps. A less hyped disease making its old return.
Why don't you just wait for him to get an office? See what he does and then judge him and when you do judge him be fair that's all if he does bad no problem. He did bad just say it.
Why do you think Biden is not an office anymore?
Rick, you are missing the point or maybe trying to? It was when he bought twitter X, and started talking publicly about politics that I and others became seriously concerned. It was not the R it was the obvious desire to control our country.
Buying Twitter was a totally political move a move to reestablish free speech, which was being halted, prevented, squelched, and demonized by social media. It was a bad investment and he knew it and he's lost $30 billion doing it, but he saw that Twitter and other social media. Giants were not allowing free speech which is crucial to this country.
Think about this for one second suppose and all the media was conservative and the only liberal media was being squelched and Elon came in and on squelched it. How would you feel then?
No body knew what he was about when he first came out with Tesla. Do you know that Musk didn’t create Tesla? He bought the very small company from two engineers then fired them so he could take credit.
I didn’t know much about him but when he walked into the Twitter building carrying a sink I thought “What a dick” the more I learned about him the more he sank in my regard for the guy. Did you know that when Biden had more comments on his post during the Super Ball he had his engineers change the algorithm so he’d get more likes. That’s not a Republican thing, that’s a big weeny thing.
In other words, he did a Putin versus Ukraine.
At that point, he will no longer recover.
Or that already long happened, this is the continuing plunge downwards.
We should've never gone anywhere near Ukraine it's another Vietnam for those of you remember the only difference is it's not 60,000 Ukrainian troops for 100,000 Russian troops that are dying, but it's our money that's funding at all and NATO is right there to fight against it if necessary.
But it was an earlier president who did what he did to make it possible for Russia to invade Ukraine
By the way, you should read up on the development of Tesla and why one of the partners was fired and he wasn't fired by Mjsk . He was fired by the other partner because he had good intention, but the company was going nowhere
Read about it because most people that knew about the company knew that this was the proper thing to do with one of the partners he wasn't contributing .
I think you're mistaking musk for Zuckerberg who threw Trump off as well as other social media platforms did
For "disinformation". Lol
Like the border is secure and biodynamics is working and crime is down and inflation is transitory
Speaking of the border: Under Bush, illegal crossings went down. They remained down under two terms of Obama, and 3 years of Trump. They they started climbing quickly. They quickly climbed under Biden's first year. Then they stayed high for 2 more years. In 2024, they declined, apparently due to Biden's help from Mexico.
I would say that the evidence points to Trump doing something that cause illegal immigration to rise. - or to some other cause, not Biden.
Oh, by the way, the one thing that Obama did for this country was to deport almost a half 1 million people during his terms alas he was the one that built the cages and separated families, but if you're driving down the road with a child in the back of your car and you get pulled over guess what you get separated from your family
Wow, that's a pretty interesting comment. There are Ted but 180° incorrect.
In fact, there was a large caravan just as one example that was coming up about 2500 people and then Trump was announced as the election winner and the caravan broke up and went back home. It was Biden and Harris that opened the border and lied and lied and lied about the border being secure. End of story other than all the damage that that is done to this country and how much it's cost us both in human and monetary means.
Yes, I know he was brought in to a startup company with two partners they had a great concept that was going nowhere. Incredible innovation and and must took it Global.
And his company now bills the best automobile on the road today with incredible technology and performance. And you should love that because most of the people here love the green stuff.
Trolls post here.
It may be best not to feed the trolls
Or do so till they gag.
Eat so much that they get sick of eating; and choke; and drown pinned under.
I used to admire Musk, just because of Tesla. But I later learned that Tesla was started by two engineers. Typical engineers, knew how to design, but not how to make money or a business. So Musk, not a dummy, made promises and took over the start-up, kicking out one of the founders some time later.
Believe it or not, Musk is not an engineer, but a businessman. He could spot the obvious - it is great to own a monopoly. It is great to get government funding. So he has done both.
And, now seeing how politics can shape government policy, he is jumping up and down like a retard and taking advantage of the fools who believe Trump will do anything for the common people.
Musk raised lots of money and opportunity by cultivating an image of being a good genius. But now his image is being blown away by his corruption.
Well to your last line, I'm not sure about his corruption. Maybe you know more.
But if you ever study Tesla, you'd know what happened with Tesla and the people around that company when Elon was ASKED to join was that the other partner got rid of the former partner because all his intentions were good the company was going nowhere Elon did not kick him out but people around the company at that time said that it was a good move because as I said below, the man had good intentions, but the company was going nowhere.
And eventually, Elon took over the company.
And people can question how he got to where he got to, but he did everything legally and now is the richest man on the planet by a couple hundred billion.
That's not the way and be all but some of the move he made when taking over other companies were very smart moves, making companies extremely more efficient on a lot less expense and I think that's where we're heading with the government that's the plan. We can only see going forward how it's going to work.
Again that was the SpaceX engineers not Musk. He is not an engineer and he’s not a genius. He’s got a talent for making himself in the right place at the right time and taking credit for other peoples accomplishments.
Fine then why didn't our government hire these engineers? Why can't our governor produce what he produces for a lot less money and he happened to cut the cost of many this companies substantially that were fueled with bloat and that's exactly why he's gonna be helpful to the American government.
You know a lot of people have done exactly that ben at the right place at the right time and many of them fail anyway
Here's a short list of people that went bankrupt and came back to be successful
H.J. Heinz PT, Barnum Steve Jobs Donald Trump, Abraham Lincoln Michael Jackson Dave Ramsey Henry Ford.
You can attempt to insult Elon Musk anyway you'd like, but you don't become the richest man by being wrong too many times
And by the way, he bought Twitter knowing it was a losing proposition and lost $30 billion in the process but gained free speech for America
Teslas value has declined by 55%. X has lost 78%. SpaceX is being paid for by government contracts so far 20 billion dollars. There were many failures with his rockets which the government paid for. I don’t know why the government privatized our space program I think it was a mistake.
My father was in the Air Force for twenty years. He helped develop the first spy satellites many years ago. He didn’t make billions or millions from doing that. He did it for love of country.
Elon plans to cut Social Security and Medicare and other social services from the little people all the more money for him.
And I have to ask you. Don’t you think being the head of DOGE while receiving billions in contracts from the government is a conflict of interest? Given his track record with Tesla and X what qualifies him to have anything to do with running the country?
Did you know why Trump wanted to lift the spending ceiling before he was in office? Because he didn’t want it on his presidential history, he wanted it on Biden’s. And what was that extra debt spending
for? Tax breaks for billionaires and corporation. The Republicans of today are not like your dads or my dads Republicans. They are an elitist oligarchy that cleverly fooled the MAGAs. It will fail I’m just concerned about how many people will suffer these next for years.
I too think it’s a serious mistake to privatize space exploration. We need to start strict enforcement of our anti monopoly laws, but that won’t happen again.
Do you have a point?? at one point Trump was the only EV company that meant anything and now there are many competitors and he has even had to drop prices in order to compete, which is common business the government gave him contracts because he could do more than the government could with less cost, and you wanna know how many government rockets have blown up over the years even ones with asronauts in them?
Well, will you work for a company like the United States government as an employee you make X those in business take risks and make Y.
Well, I'm hoping and I have no way of knowing that one won't enhance the other I believe that doge is a good thing and many Democrats agree. The government is out of control. They can't balance a budget and the deficit continues to rise. Something needs to be done. And this is what we have at hand right now.
My suggest an earlier was simply this every congressman that comes to office needs to relinquish every credit card they have they're allowed to use credit for a home and a car and that's it then they have to spend their salary on how they live and hopefully they will learn how to balance a budget
I think he wants World Dominance- like all the other evil villains. Perhaps “King of the World”!
You needn't "think" it; he's made it quite clear. This German video has English subtitles available and is very informative (from two years ago no less!).

I just want to point out that the Republican party in the U.S. is every bit as neo-Nazi as the AfD, and in some ways more so.
Well at least 77 million people and 49 of the 50 states who became redder during this election cycle, didn’t feel that way. By the way, Jayna, basket of deplorable‘s didn’t work that well for Hillary either. Oh, and Trump was America’s Sweetheart when he was doing the apprentice and was hanging out with THE view and all the celebrities. Again once he put an R in front of his name. Game over
Rump was always a malignant narcissist. Wouldn't rent his NY condos to African Americans. Bought a modeling agency so he could fu*k all the models (close friend of mine heard him say this). Had affairs while his wives were pregnant. America's Sweetheart? He is nothing but a con artist, snake oil salesman. Keep the public entertained while drugging them and raping them.
Re EM, my partner and I would not buy Teslas. EM is as racist and arrogant as Rump. Both of them fit the description of autocrats. This was no landslide, and the press acts as though both of the fu*kers are president already.
If the social net and government services (roads, schools, clean water and air, police protection, public defenders, unspoiled open space--BLM) go south quickly enough, his supporters will notice. Of course they will try to blame Biden administration. Republicans have been planning this takeover step by step since Reagan.
We are watching and listening, and I have my poster board and acrylics ready.
We will not go back. Count on it.
What good are "poster board and acrylics" when the fascist party controls the Presidency, both houses of Congress, the Supreme Court, and most state legislatures? Not to mention, it has the support of most law enforcement agencies and the rank-and-file military. I don't see how poster board and acrylics can overcome such amassed, overwhelming political power.
You know, I keep hearing that, but almost every president is a malignant narcissist. Google it and you’ll see. Sorry Forgot the word sociopath.
Barack Obama being the most recent. By the way, just like children, calling people names like rump. Very childish. And the worst part is when you folks start looking only at one side of the ledger, and don’t look into your own house. Would you like to have a lengthy conversation about Bill Clinton or JFK? Who I happen to love and vote for them both?
Talk about bad The Man lied Underoath while president After having a 10 year affair that came out about two weeks before the election and he still got elected by you guys and I voted for him too twice. Would you like to talk about all the president you had a wandering? PP
The greatest President of my lifetime probably yours was literally screwing everything in sight and everybody knew it and it didn’t mean anything.
Yeah, you keep telling yourself this wasn’t a landslide, but then get yourself a mirror. He’s not only won the popular vote for the first time in 20 years they have control of the presidency, the Senate and the House
They got over 300 votes in the electoral college in the country is red and 49 out of 50 states went redder than before. Including New Jersey, New York, and California. He swept all the swing states and all the battleground states. And frankly, I don’t care if he won by one vote.
I don’t necessarily like the man to be honest what I like is all his policies and his love for America, which hopefully in control this time of the Republicans don’t screw it up will place him as one of the best presidents in American history Who your utter chagrin.
I’m going to make an analogy in another post about the army navy game that I think will head home. I’m not sure if eternity heads or make any difference here but I’m gonna make it anyway.
control of a do-nothing House.
Clinton and Obama were elitists and narcissistic but not what I call malignant by any stretch. Clinton's affair was with a consenting adult and she kissed and told.
And I think you misspoke there to be honest with you. I don't think it was consenting adults between Bill and Hillary. Ooops just my opinion. By the way, I guess you're OK with having sex while president in the White House with an employee no less which normally would be that that's all you need and then lying about it under oath. Not to mention the 850,000 NDA. W paula i think
One of his affairs, sure. But one of the Donald’s master strokes in 2016 was to invite women wronged by the Klintonnisters (both Bill and Ofbill), up to and including actual rape, to the second debate.
The look on Bill’s face alone was worth watching the debate.
He really wasn't America's sweetheart. I didn't know anyone who watched it and I lived in Texas and Arkansas during that time. No one ever came into work asking if others watched last night's Apprentice.
“Reality” TV has done an immense amount of damage by selling unreality like “The Apprentice.” Trump was likely in need of more income and the show sold him like he was a serious, prosperous businessman. He is actually a fake and a con artist. One of the first things the producers did was to replace the shabby and worn furniture in Trump’s offices.
Other shows also showcased bad behavior as bringing rewards, like conniving, dirty tricks, backstabbing and undermining others. Richard Hatch won the first version of “Survivor” by doing all of these things, then went to prison after he was convicted of tax evasion. It’s hardly a surprise some people think these behaviors are acceptable. Fox News engages in the false claim that it’s mere “entertainment,” but people take their past and present reporting of lies, half-truths and misinformation seriously, and the mainstream media outlets are adopting their tactics.
Well, I was done until the hits just kept on coming.
I never watched one episode and I wasn’t close enough to New York to know about some of his historical battles
The only thing I saw was the man who loved America, and was willing to take a bullet and stand up to that and to take being called all the names he was called and remain reticent. You might wanna look it up 95% of the media I registered democrats, 92% of all university professors are all registered democrats 90% of all the journalists are registered democrats.
It doesn't take an R for Trump. He opens his mouth and most sane people recognize he is a con man. But some people fall for con men. My sister did, two times! Now is broke and sick and with no will to go on.
Well for what it's worth he has a chain of hotels and golf courses all over the world with 22,000 employees he's a billionaire and he's ascended it to the presidency twice.
Not too shabby a resume
And I wouldn't say most same people unless you're calling 77 million people insane. Basket of deplorable didn't work too well for Hillary either. If I get a chance, I want to send out a generic message about the interview interviews at the army Navy game and the moral message that came after it.
Is this for real??
U.K. - South Africa’s part of the Commonwealth - he’s allowed.
Germany - the AfD is the only hope. It’s the LEAST Nazi Party in the emerging Fourth “Reich”.
These days anti-Sémitism in Europe is overwhelmingly due to the recent invaders “invited” in by Unfrau Burqel. In Germany the AfD is the only Party to object to this.
This “supporting an actual neo-Nazi party in Germany” stuff is total bollox.
JD Vance’s suggestion that military support should be withdrawn from countries like Germany if they keep on suppressing free speech is an excellent one.
I mean, what’s the point of opposing Putin if you’re going to act like him?
A joke from Ottawa’s appropriate here:
What’s the difference between Justin and Putin?
One bars people from leaving the country, locks up opponents for far longer than legal (like you guys with the Jan Sixers, come to think of it, I hope the Donald not only pardons them but works out a way of compensating them), freezes opponents’ bank accounts, and has mounted police taser and baton journalists.
The other’s President of Russia.
To paraphrase Muhammad Ali, no Putin invited invaders into my country to replace me, eat my cats, drop off planeloads of illegals on my community by night, and calling me racist for objecting.
Stop with the nonsense and every time you use Nazi you lose 100% of your credibility
If you’d like to regain the credibility, let’s spend a week at Auschwitz. Let’s lie down in the ovens or spend an hour in a blacked out gas chamber or see the piles and piles of glasses of the victims of the nazis. Then you’ll understand why you should never use the word And this society to apply to any human being
Read the news...AFD is an openly neo-Nazi party.
If people want to plug their ears when they hear Nazi, that's their choice, but it doesn't change the facts.
And now you just lost 110% gross a bit credibility it didn’t work well for the Democrats during the campaign and it’s only gonna get the right more votes as a dead, especially from all the ridiculous court cases. I guess you don’t listen to your own news. Everybody’s going to see Hitler at Mar-a-Lago. Hmmm
And Biden even invited Hitler to the White House. You’re really oughta come to terms with what’s going on in your head. Put the hate in your back pocket and support the country
The AfD does not hide who they are. If you are unable to comprehend things, that's ok. I don't care what you believe lmfao. You'll see. But you'll blame it on democrats or whatever instead of recognizing these rich pricks don't care about you either. 👍
ALSO. Wtf are you talking about? The post you responded to is about how ELON MUSK is supporting an actual neo-nazi party in GERMANY. This thread that I am replying to did not call trump Hitler. YOU TOOK IT THERE.
I’m responding to a very number of posts here including one post it suggested that Trump is an autocrat and I just responded to that one
Obviously, you haven’t read some of the other posts. Where are they referred to Trump as a Hitler and a Nazi. I didn’t bring it up. They did somebody on the blog.here
I'm sure they did. But you're saying people have no credibility and you're not even reading the posts you're commenting on. 🤷♀️
Sieg heil.
You know, Rich Spender, you don't get to decide who has credibility or not or what percentage of credibility anyone has. Just as the son of an admitted Nazi-admirer and South African white supremacist whom you have repeatedly praised here has not been elected to anything at all, you have not been elected to be the one who assigns credibility to others.
Bunkerboy's HERO IS ADOLF HITLER. His supporters would FOLLOW HIM TO THE GRAVE . . . like good little NAZIS. It's a shame the comparison offends you when it is so apt!
My guess? We won't discover Bunkerboy's crematoriums for his enemies for a long time.
Wow, before I was just having a discussion now I actually feel nothing but pity… He’s going to be around for another three or four years
And if you keep it up, it’s gonna be 12. Because if things are going well in three years, he’s going to resign and give JD Vance the reins and then JD Vance will be in the White House for the next eight years. So probably a good thing to stop the name calling like children.
Rick Sender you make me laugh. 47 is insane and you are attributing well thought out actions for the future of the White House occupation. Give me a break. That nut job will toss vp Vance in front of a high speed train if he opens his mouth the wrong way. I think
E M might get a bigly surprise also. That 270 million will buy only so much off of the big blow hole and the cash drawer is open.
You’d be surprised. And you’ll be really disappointed if he does what I suggested, which I think they have possibly planned. As Trump ages, I don’t think anyone would question whether or not, he passes the torch to Vance during his administration. And if the country is doing well, and Vance continues to do well he’s likely to get reelected for eight more years.
Either you’re an anti- Semite, or you’re ignorant. And yes, those are the only two choices
Mr. Sender you nothing more than a TROLL. And your IGNORANCE is glaring. Are you not aware of the admiration that Trump holds for Adolf Hitler or do you have your own delusions that a 4 star Marine General who worked side by side with Trump in the WH for 2 years lied? Are you unaware that yes - "Mein Kemp" was seen in his bookshelves? Why would anyone - who is not a student of political history have a copy of that? And did you know that his father was arrested (they found the newspaper articles to confirm the story) for participating, as a member of the Ku-Klux-Klan in Queens because of the Jews and Catholics moving into the borough? No one is paying any attention to your 💩.
Do you know what the word troll means and situations like this? It means you don't wanna hear what I have to say. It's just a deflection from reading the content.
However, I'll indulge you
Donald Trump is the biggest supporter of Israel at this country has ever had so much for your BS. He actually was the first president in 40 years to actually keep his promise and move the capital of Israel to where it should be long and there are billboards across Israel With his face on it knowing that he will take care of them and he's already Threatened Hamas, that if they don't return the hostages by the time he takes office, there will be hell to pay and assuredly there willbe.
By the way, that general has since changed his tune, but that's not important. What you should know is that people like the military are supposed to follow the commander and chief and if they don't they get fired or they leave and then they're called disgruntled employees and they tend not to agree with the leader or his direction so to speak and I'm sure you're familiar with that.
So you're gonna blame him for the fault of his father. Maybe John Kennedy should've never been president because of what his father was.?
Why don't you enter the 21st-century? Why don't you judge Trump on what he does as president or what he did as president and evaluate why he's back in the White House that would be something interesting for you to do maybe some introspection
And I don't care if people are listening or they're not listening if two people listen and get a different side of the story. Maybe they'll look at things from a different perspective.
Joe Biden was a close friend of Robert Byrd hmmm and Joe Biden actually protested the first integration of blacks into white communities at by busing in Boston. Go read up on it. Maybe Joe Biden should've never been president for doing that
I'll bite: you say "Why don't you judge Trump on what he does as president or what he did as president...." I often hear Trump supporters say, often with a tone of adoration, that "he did so much for us....we love him because he has done so much for us...." but no one ever asks: WHAT did he "do for us?"
So, since you are clearly a Trump-afficianado, please tell us: what did he "do for us?" Please do not include the huge tax cuts for the richest of the rich. We know he did that but not for "most of us." But please: what did HE do?
“And your IGNORANCE” is glaring”
Yeah, like your spelling of Queltique Godess, Kemp, etc.
Ridiculous comment...Nazism did not start in Auschwitz.Better read history before visiting camps as a tourist
No, but it sure ended up there didn’t it. I did more than visit OK. There is nobody alive today that could be accused of being a Nazi like Hitler, until they start killing, innocent people, and throwing them in concentration camps.
Where did it start, Rick?
South Africa
Well now you've made me disregard no own advice.....
Every time you open your mouth/make a comment You Lose 100% Of YOUR CREDIBILITY!
No problem. Delete it discard it. Disregard it doesn't matter.

First of all, YouTube is a left-wing hack business, but assuming he is interested in a political position. I was talking about is enriching himself monetarily…. do you have a problem with him running for office for example?
He could never be president. He could run for Congress, I suppose. Would you have a problem with that if he were an ardent Democrat? Just asking for a friend.
So....everything on YouTube is a "left wing hack" product? Does that include all of the coverage of The Rump and MoneyMusk and J.D. Vance and .... so on.....??
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OkXFKgkZess
No, they won't get away with that. Took the Nazis years of slowly oppressing the Jews. The uninformed will get squeezed financially and have their civil rights eroded. I keep eyes and ears open and wait, and pray that the high profile rational folks in government don't get jailed or stuck in court.
The mainstream press and the 0.01%ers-- shameful, disgusting, cowardly.
That is true, but the ultimate result was the ultimate result and I'm pretty sure that we won't have 6 million Jews put the death here or 5 million other non-Jews. Ok?
Truer words he!!
hw, he's a real sicko 🤮
After the deadly attack on a German Christmas market yesterday, which the government posted on X-Twitter, Muskrat tweeted that Chancellor Olaf Scholz is an „incompetent fool.”
He's an "AFRIKANER."

Musk is more dangerous than Trump. I didn’t think anyone could be worse but there he is.
He must be blocked from his DOGE scheme. So far he’s received 20 billion dollars in contracts from the government and he wants to say how our tax money is spent? That is a blatant conflict of interest.
Write to your representatives!
He has gotten it into his head that he can be king of the world. I hope the world turns him on his head.
As long as "the world" treats him as if he IS "king of the world" he is allowed to believe that. Starting with the United States, and with our only hope being the Democrats - as disquieting as that fact is - they MUST put a full-stop to this whole scheme of putting un-elected self-dealing plutocrats in charge of our government with direct impact, and devastating intentions, to all of our lives!
Dang Bob, that photo is as gross as I feel about him. Cringe.
Musk's ego is expanding faster than the universe and may soon go right past it.
Elon has probably been playing too many Video Games, and Smoking too much Katamine... Elon is not a Degreed Engineer, Financier, or Coder... He just got lucky during Dot.Com 1.0 with funding from his Family, and used his Winnings to Invest in other Businesses... Like DJT, he Relentlessly Self-Promotes....
Deems plausible
Seems
The poor people who vote MAGA will not destroy themselves until they have destroyed the whole country first. Even then, they will not care, because the liberals will end up suffering, too. After our country is destroyed, the rich (who are Republican donors) will buy up everything and everyone. We will be their slaves. They will OWN us. They will make all the laws, so that they benefit from them, and not us. He who has the gold makes the rules, you know.
Forty hour work week? Gone.
Minimum wage? Ditto.
Laws to enable women to make all of their own medical decisions the way men are allowed to? Nope.
It’s the 1850’s that they want to take us back to, not the 1950’s.

We should start with the Basics.... Repeal Citizens United... Strengthen Election Safeguards... Australia limits Election Contributions to $20,000 Aus. ...That way Elections can't easily be bought...
Good idea, but how can we achieve it with the far right in control of congress,
Do Post Offices still have photos of criminals on the loose?
Any photo looks like a mugshot in search of a sequence of numbers.
Could not wait to scroll down. Glad the Prof kept the first pgph brief.
he looks strung out 🤪
Also, what's with the lumps around his jaw? Does he have dental problems or does he keep wads of gum there?
Well, the rodent king is the poster child that demonstrates >exactly< what I've meant and gotten blowback for years: "Capitalism is as inherently antidemocratic and backward in every way Communism is inherently antidemocratic and backward." Backward?
In times past, all capital resources were monopolized by kings, emperors, and other royalty. The point of fighting wars of aggression was acquisition of real estate and all the capital resources that real estate could provide - including the people living there. Think of yourselves as a capital resource to a plutocrat to get a vague glimpse into the state of mind those who had to suffer living under it - and are still living under it in a large part of the world - might have felt. The kind of fealty that sort of tyrant requires is the same as willingly agreeing to being the "liege's" chattel, to be disposed of as necessary. That's how the multiply convicted felon, jury adjudicated sexual predator and serial slanderer, along with his good pal "the rodent king" view US citizens. There's high probability some "interbreeding" will come to pass - as was always common amongst royalty. Compare that with what we've been hearing advocated, of late. Compare it with "family values," as well! Capitalism is about control of capital resources, and money is but one kind of capital resource. You and yours are capital resources, as well. Never forget that.

I can't disagree with anything you have said. Although I don't know why you would include a link to a message ending with a blessing on behalf of an imaginary being. Cheers.
I just like this guy. I agree with him in most cases, have messaged him that I'd be delighted to hear a sermon he gives in church should the opportunity arise, but cautioned him that I don't embrace a legendary friend in the sky, as I reminded him of Thomas, the skeptic. He loved my reply.
Having said that, I included his piece because it recognizes the condition we now face, affirms that what we are seeing is the reality of the condition we now face, and his blessing is just his way of saying "hang in there and keep the faith, folks." I don't see how that could do anything but be a pep talk we all need at this juncture. I also think it important for those of us who possess the - shall I say - gift of faith, that nobody here wishes to deprive them of it, and allow their faith reinforced by a good man they may relate to, that I happen to like, as well, and generally agree with on all but one issue - the same issue you take.
I would never want to deny anyone their gift of faith. I don't have the right. But I am troubled by the harm the religions have done throughout history and still to this day.
I'm betting you may appreciate and enjoy the following bit of irreverence:

Oh how I'm enjoying this contact! No doubt you know that Idle is an atheist, but did you know that he does not like using the word because "it implies that there's a God not to believe in."
(PS I subscribe to MM as well...Just haven't had time lately)
Agreed. "Star Wars" and "Dune" are SciFi comments on theology. Dune is more a comment on messianic faith, whereas Star Wars is more essential, dealing with the "demiurge," which bifurcates as the light side and dark side of "the force." You see that play out in just about every major religion that comes down the pike today. Religions generally have a social side that unifies, as well as an antisocial side - the light side and dark side of the force (the demiurge). Here are a couple of links that discuss the demiurge you may find of interest:

You've absolutely intrigued me. Sadly, these days I find I need to come to places like this and a couple of other non-mainstream news site for rational & reasonably intelligent discussions and mental stimulation. Even more sadly, my life is in utter chaos due to fire & H2O damage forcing me out of me home, (I won't bore you any further) so I find my time (and mental energy) limited.
But I look forward to exploring these links.
I’m not so sure Trump was fairly elected. It doesn’t make sense.
Melissa Brzescinski, he didn't win, I honestly think he cheated. Many computer experts have detailed how it was done and also think the numbers don't add up. It's not being a conspiracy theorist either, it's the reality of our situation. Recounts should be done but nobody's requesting them. At least I'm not aware of it happening. 😞
that's disconcerting because if Dems don't recognize what's going on or how the right wing is rigging elections...they are doomed to lose most elections no???
Just makes me think they don't care and they're in on it. I'd love to be wrong, though.
I've never been a big fan of the Dems...just the (significantly) lesser of the evils. But...YIKES
PS, but Biden, the semi-cadaver got 13 more million votes than Obama the G-d
OK I see where you get your doubt about a computer error
I agree.
In that rapist pedophile's defense, he won 26% of the vote to Vice President Harris's 25%. Those that were too anti-American to vote are the cause of his plurality "win."
I think I read he gained 48% of those that DID care about America's future but were "exceptional" to VP Harris's 46%. Pretty pathetic they forgot Bunkerboy's FOUR recessions and 1,000,000+ kill count.
There IS still a future where he will not be able to kill us all: President Biden CAN still use the 14th Amendment . . .
I wish he would.
There’s a lot of good evidence the voting machine codes were switched in specific crucial areas of the country. That was written up but not pursued, for some reason.
That’s because you’re locked in your bubble with an extreme case of TDS.
Rick, your mind wanders in a sea of vacuity.
Maybe if we ignore then, they will go away.
Well, thank you for that quite erudite response there, Melissa. The sad news is that I’m correct in that Sea and liberals and democrats should be a little bit more introspective
You are a Southerner, right? YOU are the one who's screwed, not me in New York! Your wealth of ignorance is astounding.
The Russians hacked into Polish election machines, but it was caught just prior to the polling days… it’s not beyond the realm of possibility. I forget which election but I read it in The Road to Unfreedom.
Repeal Citizens United now! Dark money is ruining this country! We can not have millionaires bribing our politicians and our president!
Here’s something you might consider Faye. Would you rather have a multi-millionaire in office or would you rather have an average citizen in office for 20 years who, on a government salary, becomes a multimillionaire because of his position?
Neither. What does that have to do with the price of tea in China?
Almost all the comments indicate that the liberals are not happy with all the so-called millionaires as his cabinet choices. I’m only responding to what I’m reading. That was the reason for my remark.
In other words, vote term limits or this will never stop.
I think I know the problem. You’re reading material. Where do you get yours?
Pretty much everywhere. But here’s something you might want to try to see how biased the legacy media is and the social media group was until Musk ( Who bought an economic loser just to open up free speech) opened up Twitter to everybody. Google some generic, even non-political item with a name… see how many pages it takes or how many links it would take to get to a conservative website. I hadn’t really noticed this, but recently, I just put Gore/ bush into my browser. Nothing else. 216 links later OAN was found other than that. Not only were there all liberal or Democrat sites such as CNN, MSNBC etc. your usual suspects but even liberal newspapers from small towns called gazette, or called the dispatch… they were listed long before OAN and Fox wasn’t listed until 15 links after OAN which was 220 some odd links later. I found it quite interesting so I did a number of times, and it was essentially the same thing
Ah good word salad. Or is this Gish? Try to be concise. What is your thought. There must be one in there.
How is that even possible without breaking the rules? How do you even compare the two? For myself, it’s not about how wealthy someone is. It’s about actually being committed to doing the right thing in spite of donations and pacs that are strictly about getting their way. Aren’t they instructed to represent their constituents?
So, who exactly are you referring to? Are you 100% agree with your assertion that their job is to represent your constituents. And why do you think that that Musk is not one of those people. Goodness for him and opening up Twitter, which cost him about $30 billion of loss. Trump for example had been eliminated from a number of social media companies only to receive apologies lately including Zuckerberg. Free speech. And now that it’s there, as I mentioned earlier, before amazingly enough, blue sky was invented. Not that it’s a bad place, but it’s a place like this that only cares from one side of the aisle and the lemmings just follow along. Important to hear both sides of an argument or an issue just like in a quart room before rendering judgment. And not with a crystal ball or a Ouija board
Sorry, I’m voice texting and I have a lot of responses to make. So if I happen to use the wrong word or of auto correct catches me by mistake I apologize hopefully you’ll get the message. Thank you
what?? Plse explain ...
How can he be speaker doesn't the speaker have to be a citizen as he's 3rd in line for president?
You'd think but the 18th century language is vague on this point. It is "assumed" the Speaker of the House of Representatives, would be a sitting Representative of the same chamber. But it doesn't specify that in writing. The other problem of birth is sort of skirted around in Article2, Sections 4, 5, and 6. Upon removal of both President and Vice President the Speaker of the House of
Representative serves as "acting President" either until the end of the current Presidents term or a new election i called.
However this whole discussion is predicated on a continuing democracy. But the 2025ers prefer a theocratic dictatorship and a kick in the butt for the Constitution.
True but they sure rammed it down our throat when Obama was president and complained he wasn't "American". Hypocrites they all are
Obama brought the birther stuff on himself.
Obama was born in Hawaii of an American mother who herself was born in the states. Hawaii is a state of the usa
Apparently Putins propagandists started the whole Obama is not American thing. Trump picked it up. There is a straight line from Putin to Trump going back to the 1980s
The project 2025/ mAGA and extremist evangelical movements are aligned with Putin in as much as they consider a pure past, a mythical future where everything is ‘perfect’ and to get there they have to vilify people who don’t believe that, who are different. And to get there they have to repeat lies. But also tell lies that contradict the other lies. Putin did this internally in Russia regarding the Ukrainian War propaganda.
Indeed, " this whole discussion is predicated on a continuing democracy" and honestly highly doubt that it will be.
YES!!!!
Good point.
Musk is a citizen. 2002.
But he was born in Pretoria, SA.
The President has to be born in the USA.
Natural Born Citizen.
Thank you for explaining that to the lady above. When America was first founded, there were no American citizens, other than the Native Americans.
True. But if your family was stationed in a foreign country for the military or for diplomatic reasons, your child is a US citizen. That is why John McCain, born in Panama was eligible and Musk is not. Maybe there was no American citizens when the the
Articles of Confederation were written, but the Constitution replaced them and eligibility is explicit in the Constitution. Your statement about founding America is not germane.
Rick, most of your other comments I’ll just leave it at that😊😊🫒
But the one about the Indians is on the money
Time to send him back to SA... but they probably won't take him back! GH
"For the love of money is the root of all evil."
I'd rate this truism only 5 out of 10 ☆☆☆☆☆●●●●● because it doesn't offer solutions.
Musk also entered the US on a student visa to attend Stanford. He didn't fulfill that stated purpose, so he should have been deported then. His visa was obtained by fraud, so we should kick him out now.
A citizen?
Since he lied on his visa, his citizenship is equally fraudulent. Other visa/citizenship candidates are denied if they make a tiny mistake, let alone enter the country by lying about their plans.
Was he indicted before the statute of limitations passed? That is 10 years. Section 3291 of Title 18 provides that prosecutions for violations of nationality, citizenship, and passport laws, or a conspiracy to violate such laws, shall be commenced within ten years after the commission of the offense.
Time to change the statute of limitations.
He is not a natural born citizen. He was born in south africa
Time to review his papers.
The U.S. Constitution states that the president must: Be a natural-born citizen of the United States.
Not a “natural born” citizen.
A natural-born citizen
The speaker only needs to meet the criteria for the speaker.
Good point
I really wish that people would stop calling Musk the “richest person in the world.” Most of his perceived wealth is in stock and stock options in highly overvalued companies, the kind of house of cards that has a tendency to collapse on itself. Musk is actually cash-poor, and all or most of his maneuvering on Trump’s behalf will be with the intent of shoring up his own precarious finances.
Thank you for emphasizing this fact. His wealth is in "paper," grossly overpriced stock and unrealized gains. Wikipedia has a comprehensive write up on him and on Tesla.
Sounds like trump
Yep
Paraphrasing the Cowardly Lion's rhetorical question in "The Wizard of Oz," What makes the Muskrat guard his Trump?
Greed.
"The following effects of ketamine may be experienced:
-feeling happy and relaxed
-feeling detached from your body
-lowered sensitivity to pain
-visual and auditory hallucinations
-confusion and clumsiness."
I got all that. I don’t need no stinking ketamine. lol
What?
If his financial position is true, why was he giving away money to anyone who would vote for
As news stories made clear, he was giving money only to select individuals, registered Republicans, and not even as many of those as his “contest” claimed.
I have long said that Musk suffers from Magellan syndrome. Let me explain. When Magellan famous for his ship's first circumnavigation of the globe reached the Philippines, he knew what he had accomplished and became unbearable in his all-consuming pride. Western man had already reached the Philippines from Europe pursuing the spice trade. The island natives found him unsufferable and offed him, which I why he never made it back to Europe.
While I don't wish that I Musk, it is time to take him off the stage.
Sorry to say be it couldn’t happen to a scumier human! One can only wish!
Interesting historical story....I shall read on that. Yep...pride has been the downfall of many men
Actually, Musk should be elected leader of the free world. Watch and learn what happens to our government and how much waste and fraud there is that will no longer be.
What evidence is there that Elon Musk knows anything about efficiency? His takeover of Twitter was catastrophic, firing huge swaths of people and then realizing they were needed and having to hire them back, ultimately making "X" an uglier and more deceitful platform and a sliver of its former self. Tesla can't move cybertrucks to the point they're paying people to stay home. Any NASA operation that crashed as many rockets as SpaceX would have been shut down long ago. The only thing he brings to the table is his ability to financially power through his bad decision making, the essence of inefficiency.
Its the same foolish idea that brought Trump to the Presidency the first time. “Oh he’s a businessman, so he really knows what he’s doing.”
Like in his companies? How do we know? Just asking for a friend.
He’s now the richest man in the world by about a couple hundred billion dollars. He could live on a mere 5 billion a year and have more money when he dies than he has now I don’t think he’s trying to enrich himself. Plus, no one really had a problem with Musk until he put an R in front of his name.
He was a lifelong Democrat.
His ego is as large as his wealth. And he was more of a libertarian than a Democrat. I have been reading his retorts to anyone who disagrees with him. I particularly like his “We coup when we want to coup.” Remember that one?
Both "Trump" and "Musk" are one-syllable referents.
Hey, I used to know Rishi Chopra if you grew up in California by any chance
And I hope they are a semi referent and can get along on the same goal lowering the bloat getting rid of the pork and fat and if any of the people on this site go and see how we're spending our money and what waste it. It's actually pathetic and Congress lets it happen which is even more pathetic.
I hope you are on SS, Medicare and Medicaid and can afford $5 per tomato. No more food stamps either Rick.
I hope you’re being sarcastic
Stop! Prove it!
I do not believe he WAS elected sir. I believe Musk and star link rigged the election.
Then I guess musk Rigged The previous election when he was a Democrat
Nope, just this one.
Musk’s power to threaten members of Congress with funding opponents will be taken away by Congress passing a strict campaign finance reform bill, which they should have done years ago anyway. But given that both sane Republicans and moderate Democrats are being threatened by MUsk, perhaps they can craft a bipartisan bill that would stand up to a Trump veto. Wouldn’t that defund the musk-rat?
That was supposed to read defang not defund. Autocorrect problems.
The DNC should accept all billionaire contributions, dark or otherwise, that will support returning this nation to a democracy. Until we repeal Citizens United.
Absolutely. About the Supreme Court, all decisions made by the court since corruption appeared, need to be reviewed!
So let’s see Obama appointed two people to the Supreme Court . Biden appointed one person to the court and I call it a person because it wasn’t sure if it was a woman or not; and then Trump appointed three which makes three appointed by the most recent presidents for the most recent appointments!
So let's see -- Democrats appointed 3 justices over 3 terms (1 per term) and Trump appointed 3 in 1 term. That's not equal at all.
If you extend the comparison to an equal number of terms for each party by adding in W's 2 terms in office, he appointed two so that's five... So in the last 6 terms, 3 of which were Republican and 3 were Democrat, 8 of the current 9 justices were appointed -- 3 by Democrats and 5 by Republicans.
But that's getting a little bit complicated, isn't it? So let's keep it simple -- the corrupt ones are Republicans.
Are you the arbiter on someone’s gender with no qualifications and no expertise? And Biden’s appointment is the most recent or are you calendar confused? Anyway. What is your point?
Really… gender bashing? Are you Shrek?
I thought you were done for the night. PLEASE
I’d buy that Kevin!!
"Injudicious" is the word which characterizes tit-for-tat escalation with later-regrettable consequences; "injudicious".
Well sorry Kevin they only received $2 billion of contributions this past cycle which the leader of the coup Instantly flushed into the toilet
Where do you find this information. Inquiring minds want to know.
Which information are you referring to specifically? I love to satisfy inquiring minds to the extent I can so be a little bit more specific please
Anything you have written in your comments. Don’t sidestep.
Maybe if we ignore Rick, she/he/they will go away.
No. He gets his kicks throwing shade.
Enjoy the autocracy, then.
Waste of time to argue with a Trump fan. Anyone who thinks a person who has cheated others all his life - very documented - won’t keep cheating everyone including his fans is a lost cause.
Biden’s faults are irrelevant even if true. Trump is a con artist and the I told you so’s will soon flow. No matter how bad Biden might be if he is indeed bad, no one has a more solid track record of conning people than Trump. Ricky wouldn’t be trolling if he felt confident he made a good choice.
Have you seen the autocracy that Joe Biden has just completed in the past week in a condition that doesn’t even allow him to stand up straight?
He just gave Angola $1 billion when there’s hundreds of thousands of homeless on the streets and impoverished. He just gave Ukraine $200 billion that we certainly could’ve used here first to feed the hungry and homeless and to provide other benefits without money like 100 1 billion just allotted in this latest build of Congress pass to provide money for the suffering of the hurricane disaster. We could’ve used it there instead of Ukraine.
And then he lied about not pardoning Hunter and then he pardoned him anyway, which everybody thought he would, and I have no problem with it at all, but he should’ve lied about it in the first place. And the worst thing about his partner was that he told World he knew nothing about Hunter‘s business. He would never talk to Hunter about his business. He had no involvement with his hunters business yet he knew the exact day from when to pardon him till now. Now Joe will have to pardon an entire litany of his family all the way down to nieces and nephews, so that they don’t start investigating those folks
He also tried another round of refunds for student loans which you and I will have to pay for and we’re responsible for. There’s an autocrat for you right there.
Bye Rick. :-)
Yeah, that’s where all the cowards go Kevin you’ll run right to blue sky because you can’t stand the balance of X anymore. Twitter used to be 69% Democrats 31% Republicans but now that it’s 50-50 the liberals had to invent blue sky so they wouldn’t have to hear both sides of the story.
Have a nice nap.
In addition to threatening Democrats, he's aligned himself with the far right in the U.K. and Germany; I'm just waiting for Musk's Icarus moment.
Thankyou for the update! Having the media blink while Democratic norms are shattered is overwhelming. An unelectable drug addict,illegal alien from So.Africa with all the white supremacy baggage,whose subsidized Billions came from my tax dollars walk into Congress and stop legislation is simply infuriating. His next trick will be merging X with Truth Social to control the propaganda arm of Trumps Dictatorship. I weep for my country. I’m So Embarrassed to be an American right now.
you too
If ever there was a time to overturn Citizens United it was yesterday
What’s with that muskrat hair?
Mike Hammer, he's as bald as a billiard ball and got a shitty hair transplant job some years ago..... maybe the "hair" he got is falling out again.... Too bad it all doesn't fall out. That would put a dent in his overblown ego. 😂
Maybe he’s going for that Lex Luther look, Diane?
Mike, Mini Me 🤣
You know what they say about men like musk-o-vite, big ego, little tally wagger.....🍄🥕 😆
At least he doesn’t have to worry about shrinkage!😂
Mike, 🤣😂😆
Or Dr. Evil.
And where are the more recent cheek implants?
Cheek implants? Is there any part of him human?
So you’re looking at a dementia ridden president and you’re making fun of trump? . I’m guessing you heard/saw the Wall Street Journal article yesterday about how they were protecting him for the last 3 1/2 years.
And the lack of honesty is One of the reasons why you lost the election.
They are even going back to Afghanistan and saying he probably didn’t make that decision. That’s how long ago his weakened condition has been.
I believe very simply had envoked the 25th amendment A Democrat would’ve been in the White House. They talked about the 25th amendment during trumps administration ministration, and now he’s being reelected, but they wouldn’t even whisper it about Biden. Shame
You know WSJ is a Fox publication? Fox got hit with an almost $1b settlement fee for lying. And we are supposed to accept what you say?
With all his children, I’d say likely Aleggra
Ha! Mike! With all his money one would think he could get a better haircut!! GH
Did Musk ever consider that he is making a fool of himself and that the majority of people may resent his interference?
Like Trump, MuskRat does not care
Nope. And he couldn't care less.
Yes, all the liberals that he thinks are wrong. I’m done here for the night
Please don't go away angry. Just go away thank you.
Thank God.
Good night!
It’s really sad you just don’t even wanna hear alternative positions from one of 77 million people that don’t agree with you. Geez.
When you can articulate a position we will be happy to hear from you. Please include sources.
Let’s take away his government contracts!
The GOP is dead. All that’s left is lunatics and grifters.
