It absolutely boggles my mind that the richest man on this planet in monetary terms is also the most certifiably stupidest.

What boggles my mind is how someone with such poor critical thinking skills can amass such a huge fortune. I am an only slightly reconstructed Eisenhower Republican and I am all in favor of going back to the 90% top marginal tax rate of that time. Having billionaires has not made the world a better place. And, certainly not Melon Musk.

I’m with you Stephen, ridding the country of billionaires and leveling the playing field would be a huge improvement!

Adapting an old political cartoon about Barry Goldwater (gee, I can vaguely remember when GOLDWATER was considered as Insanely Far Right as a politician could get!) to our current situation:

Wow, VP for the SECOND-worst President in history is voting against the worst!

I still do not know how I feel about that one....

That cartoon from 1961 is about as relevant with the GOP idiocy of today. History repeats itself. Thanks for sharing it. So this level of crazy isn't new. sigh

Who? You mean Trump and the MAGA Republicans?

Those they're not "Communists"—they're...I'm sure there's an appropriately Russian term for "Useful Idiot", but I don't know it.

The Uber wealthy have dummied down their serfs. With shameless talking heads on TV, radio, newspaper, and the internet. It’s the best way for them to pile on to the treasure they’ve stolen!

Actually, he is psychologically damaged. The US government made him rich by supporting his businesses.
