    I think that he gets a lot of hate, but you have to admit that it’s really impressive to switch directions so often and fast without any spine.

      That’s partly because unlike Democrats, he’s actually speaking out and taking a contrarian stance on topics.

      When he thought he could work with Trump, he went all-in. Now that he realizes that two narcissists will always have conflicting goals, he’s all-in on fighting Trump.

      The Democrats, on the other hand, have mostly spent this time saying “let’s discuss working together to come to an agreeable compromise” while doing not much that’s actually useful one way or the other.

      Elon may be politically inept and only looking out for his own interests, but he does know how to grab the public’s attention and how to force people to act.

        Find me the quotes where Democrats say let’s come to an agreeable compromise and I’ll match them with Democrat quotes actually speaking out and taking a contrarian stance on topics. Heck I’ll triple them.

        The issue is that corporate news sewers do not care about the public’s interest or a healthy government. They care about money, and Elmo stories generate money.

        That’s why the Democrats have to start lighting some shit on fire.

    I haven’t kept up with the plot this season. Trump’s nemesis is still Biden right? Or did Obama somehow return?

      In Obama II: Birth Certificate Boogaloo, they find the long form version of the birth certificate and he becomes Super Kenyan, where he eats all the dogs and cats in the neighborhood before pretending he will get single payer health care passed.

    Elon Musk has promised to donate to Rep. Thomas Massie’s re-election campaign as the Kentucky Republican faces down the wrath of Donald Trump.

    It’s all distraction. Once the bigly budget passes, they’ll be back to circle jerks and sleepovers with Fox on the teeveez.
