Patrick, "Den of Thieves" doesn't begin to cover it. In a narcissistic cage match of egos, I see turd and Leon both jockeying for dominance, backstabbing, talking shit, lying about each other, wanting to be FOP (Favorite of Pootie).
Perhaps…just maybe, they will physically and mentally destroy one another. Would be like watching two Sumo wrestlers on the mat. The mat could be Rudy Giuliani.
Speaking of: there was a photo in the last weeks of OP - Orange Putz - with a daughter in law, JD & his wife at what may have been a sporting event. On OP’s lap was a blond little girl, maybe 6 yo, I’m guessing Eric’s daughter. Remember seeing Melania slap or push away her husband’s hand? The little girl had a grimace on her face and appeared to be using a strong hand to push her grandfather’s hand away from her thigh. It made me sad thinking of what he’s said about his older daughter.
In bad times, one can feel guilty for moments of relief. But your columns deliver both - the awful truth, explained with amazing wit! Reading these writings, is how I take care of myself as you wisely advise. Take care of yourself too, and thank you!
I may decide not to read the bad news every day, but I won’t cancel my subscription. We need your input in this messy world. Watching from Canada is frustrating at times , but I realize it pales in comparison to the heartbreak many of you who worked so hard must feel with every news day.
I’m an American, but to say I’m greatly disappointed in too many of my countrymen is understatement. Not sure I will flee to Canada, but I may start making very long visits for the next four years. And, no, I don’t want Canada to be the 51st state. I like you guys as a Sovereign nation. Don’t change.
Not me! Not ever! My whole sanity at this point depends on you and I'm not taking a break ( that's my choice - maybe not for everyone but that's okay too 😉).
Thats true...there are so many great writers on Substack I cant afford to support them all. I'm grateful for the paying subscribers I do have...and the Buy Me A Coffee option is a nice way to show appreciation for the writing ... a one time donation.
Retired rural carrier here, USPS is still, barely, an essential service and stamp sales pay postal payroll, so letter carriers will be paid. But retirees, like me, won’t get our OPM pension checks.
And the carriers are all working over 12 hrs/day right now, with more to come as Amazon dumps parcels from striking plants into the USPS mail stream.
I aint canceling SHIT, motherfucker!!!...this is some of the only brain food out there that helps steer me towards sanity!!!...but I wholeheartedly agree that if these fucksticks wanna see what revolution really looks like, go ahead and fuck with social security...cause THAT shit right there will get me to take to the streets!!!
Jeff, as I have maintained ever since the Reagan White House tried to fire the civil servant implied by a small federal commission, if you lose your sense of humor you’ve lost everything. I need your humor.
I’m quite certain that JP Morgan, Hershey, Mott, Marconi, Dreiser and many others, who had tickets aboard the Titanic, liked ships named Olympus and German Amerika, that brought them safely to port better JLH!!
Fact of the matter is, Putin is one of the wealthiest and most powerful mob bosses in the world! Every oligarch gives him a cut of their action Jeanne!!
Yes, I think Trump’s ego is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, he can be bought with the tiniest bit of flattery, which means we’re fucked as far as national security is concerned. But on the other hand he won’t take kindly to being neutered by someone younger, richer, smarter and more powerful. This may be the only thing that saved us from Elon. Two crazy, malignant narcissists fighting for control over our country. I’d grab the popcorn, if only it didn’t make me so sick to my stomach.
Agree with everything except the idea that Elno is smarter than Trump. They are intellectually equal dipshits. What Trump has over Elno is some weirdo bully charisma that a lot of people find appealing. Elno is without charisma, and though Trump is beholding to him right now, Trump is never really beholding to anyone.
Trump, has the con-man's feral cunning to spot a mark, and has failed upward due to the illusion that he is a rich man.
Musk is smarter, he has taken over many successful businesses, and sucked money from the gov teat to keep them going, Tesla should have tanked long ago, but his stans keep buying bits of stock to keep the price up, It is so overpriced it is not funny.
That said Elon, is socially clueless and seems to not understand any World history, politics, diplomacy, or even basic polite interactions. He is inept at being a human in society, and like Tangeranus has surrounded himself with suck-ups. Both are a blight on society, the country, and the world, being easily manipulated by Putin.
TSLA is a meme stock. Check out all the old line and traditional car makers and the P/E ratio is between 5 and 10 (that makes them actually good investments), yesterday, TSLA's P/E ratio was 120. That is very frothy, and defies gravity. One day it will have to crash, and that will be glorious to watch
Trump grew up with mobsters all around him, Tony (fat)Salerno nicknamed him Little Elvis! He’s definitely a product of his youth, but definitely beholden to one of the world’s biggest mobsters counter!!
Donny is most likely too far gone for confrontations or power plays. But riches are his very identity and Elmo has riches in spades. I think he arranged a quid pro quo with Musk, his very own shadow president.
Funny how musq appears to be potusing, pre inauguration. Did turd ok mosq post? I'm waiting for the two malignant evil doers to clash. turd is known to enjoy pitting those close to him against each other, enjoying the drama and chaos. Bring it on, fellas! Or should that be felons?
How will the news media ever render ongoing reports to the public that will sanewash and make sense out of what is going to happen inside that administration?
Well, I wouldn’t necessarily call musk smarter. He’s just a younger version of trmp with the same personality fuck ups. He is Asperger’s smart with the ability to focus intently on one thing which leaves him vulnerable elsewhere. But they share similar characteristics.
When are all of us going to start talking about the ‘Marie Antoinette’ of it all? Musk and the other billionaires, not giving a fuck about this planet or humanity, and wanted to plunder MORE wealth for no good god damn reason. I did a thorough conversation with ChatGPT about how the top ten billionaires could end world poverty by donating the majority of their wealth while keeping $1billion for themselves and it’s an actual, doable thing that would transform the world altogether and create health and safety for every human on the earth while saving the planet. Again, they don’t give a fuck if we all starve, sicken and die on a dying planet. “Let them eat cake” so to speak.
All of us are never going to talk about it, but we can reach critical mass. Anyway, there's at least one billionaire whose heart is in the right place.
Props for the Marie Antoinette reference, Sarah (though she never actually said that). I've been thinking the same thing about Elmo. The entire world could collapse atound him as long as he kept his toys.
That’s a tough question. I tend to lean towards never unless someone else in his orbit points out what Musk is doing. I think the combination of Orange Shitler’s immense stupidity and his dementia will prevent him from figuring this out by himself.
Musk has the Incel army of stans who generally swarm any time he is criticized on twatter or the worst social media sites. Not as many as Bronzo the malignant who appeals to all the losers of either sex, it seems.
That is my suggestion too. Like the Chinese water torture, just keep drip drip dripping that shit out there; President Musk. If anyone is still on Xitter, drop that picture in on it every once in a while too.
I feel like Donald is miserable with his little buddy in general. Little buddy knows enough and has enough money to make Donald’s life a living hell. Grab some popcorn.
Trump doesn’t want to work but he wants everybody to think that he’s making the decisions. Elon Musk is making it clear that’s not happening. This thing will break after January 20. Then we’ll know who the people are that are waiting for it to break. They are waiting for the right time to make their move. Too many oligarchs and dark money investors waiting and watching for this cluster to collapse.
Evidently we have to hit absolute rock bottom before the cult decides electing this demented old fuckhead wasn't such a good idea. This is scary stuff....and where are the Democrats right now? I'm pissed at the whole lot of them, especially the senile old "leaders" who seem to be laying down and letting this happen.
AND letting Dump off the hook in Georgia because Fani had a fling? UNFORGIVABLE.
The Dems really have no power. The defection of Manchin and Sinema makes the Senate moot, and with the coming switch in majority, they will have even less. Now, you might be thinking that they still have the filibuster. And that is true.
But I would bet my bottom dollar that they will get one thing they can block before Trump (or co-President Musk) demands that Thune eliminate the filibuster to get his agenda through. And then there will be not one fucking thing the Dems can do to stem the tide.
I get plenty of people telling me that Trump and the R's don;t have a mandate. But the reality is that It. Doesn't. Matter. There's not much that can be done to even slow the coming onslaught.
Sure, it wasn't a 49 state thumping, but "mandate" is as much a state of mind, as a quantifiable "thing". And Trump is great at making reality appear from nothing.
Lastly, I see a LOT of people whining that Biden isn't doing more to prevent the coming shit-show. I do not blame him from checking out. He (and Harris) lost, the American electorate has said "Fuck it, we want full fat MAGA". If I was Biden, I would be also plotting my escape.
The truth is the population has shifted to the right - a fucking lot - and MAGA is now mainstream. I think the people really need to get the high hard one, the full monty of what MAGA is going to do. Sure, a lot of them didn't believe the worst, or think that it was Trump being Trump and he really didn't mean the worst of the shit he said.
But, unlike the punditocracy that is thinking Trump will be lazy and not do the scary shit, I think that the folks he is going to put into the cabinet and positions of power are going to be head's down working to "competently" execute on the worst of the worst. Russell Vought, Tom Honan, Stephen Miller, Ka$h Patel, RFK jr, Hegseth, et. alia are all going to run roughshod over the departments they are going to lead, and it is going to be fucking awful.
No, the Dems can't do shit but point and laugh, or shake their heads until 2026.
And you know what? I am not sure that they will even begin to recover the reins of power then. The MAGA fever is here, it is real, and it is going to suck.
This is just the situation as it is.
Elonia Musk invested $277ish Million dollars into the election of Trump, and since the election, his fortune has grown by over $200B. That is a fucking fantastic return on investment. Do you see anyone on the D side that can counter that? I do not.
You tell me what they are doing... in my view, they have not been very assertive in pushing back. Where are they in demanding the DOJ step in and stop civilians like Dump and Elonia conferring with our enemies? And Pelosi is sabotaging the future with her push for a dying man instead of AOC, a bright young rising star.
I believe it was said that the Democrats are bringing a ball point pen to a knife fight.
I do not have answers for this dilemma, but the GOP is brazen in their efforts to turn us into an authoritarian state. I'd like to see a forceful response from the Democrats to save our Democracy.
Agree completely, Susan. The Dems are doing NOTHING. Not even verbally fighting back. Liz Cheney is speaking out more than the collective Dems are. Shame.
Meanwhile, Pelosi, Schumer, Connolly, et. al. are busy tearing down their own party.
Cheney AND Adam Kinzinger too. It’s the Constitution for gods sake. Defend it. And I hope they do not cave on this CR vote. When a shutdown happens be out there and explain who caused it!!!
So, day 1, Trump invokes the Insurrection act and the alien and sedition act, the supine R's in congress could halt it, but I wouldn't bet on it, and a lot of those "constitutional protections" are *poof* gone.
The military used to round up brown people for the camps, repatriation (the nice way of saying deport) happens, CIA black sites are re-opened in skeevy venues, and the extraordinary renditions of Trump's enemies begins, and we suddenly have a snitch public ecosystem akin to east Germany during the cold war.
Yeah, a lot of people are not using their imaginations as to how bad it is. Law and order are going to be wistful memories.
Scary to Scarlet Letter Fani, but she had to be flawless. The real world is cruel and cunning. She gave them an opening and they gleefully shamed her. It was a shit show. She built a great case but should have charged Trump in 2021 for the low hanging fruit before he announced his candidacy.
There was a cartoon decades ago when Elizabeth made some remarks critical of Thatcher's pro-apartheid lean and was slammed for interfering in politics: the two are sitting on thrones, and Liz says "We are not amused by your South Africa policy" while Maggie retorts, "Yeah? Well who died and made you queen?"
Exactly. Not one person voted for this despicable asshole and the fact that he's calling the shots without being elected to anything is insanely fucked up. If the albino South African sewer rat gets his way, I hope the millions of folks that are affected by this shitstorm can make it through the holidays and beyond.
Is it possible that Musk will interfere with our cultural reverence for wealth? . . Or our tolerance for greed?
When the Titanic sank and it became known how many rich people behaved badly and how the poorer passengers were locked below decks, the public lost some of its admiration for the famously wealthy.
Also, the albino South African sewer rat is an immigrant! Plug THAT into the equation and my brain just sends flares to my eyeballs. WTAF is wrong with these people?
Democracy? I think if we can learn anything after spending $15 billion on the 2024 election cycle (at least the spending that has been publicly disclosed), its that one person’s $250 million went a lot farther towards buying power than the other $14.75 billion.
Hi Jeff and friends of Golf with MAGAS. This past week I learned so much so I’ve just have to spill the tea. I explained to my cart partner, 80 years old, that originally I came from WA state, he told me nothing but liberals there, should be destroyed by an earthquake. At lunch they were so excited about the fall of former Speaker Pelosi, wishing that she bleed out on the floor of the House. Next I learned that our economy will be the best in the world, no more conflicts cause Donald will solve them all by himself, Iran, China and Russia. Liz Cheney? Put her on trial and summarily execute her because she had the temerity to criticize Donald and serve on a committee into J6. Next they were so overjoyed that the J6 folks will get pardons, they did nothing illegal. Finally Judge Marchan should be taken off the bench, put on trial or murdered.
So fucking bloodthirsty, so ignorant.. Me? I don’t argue facts or figures with these guys, just not worth it.. My jab was continuously mentioning our new President…. Elon Musk… man that really pissed off those guys. Hey taking a golf break for the holidays. I promise more after the new year, Best to all, playing today with a NON MEGA group😀
There's a good chance that half of what they were saying was to try to get a reaction from Fredo, so congratulations on your self-control and your comebacks, sir.
Yes they will because it will be all President Biden’s fault anything that goes wrong will be democrats fault any good……co-presidents musk & that other guy bestest thing ever done 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
I’m guessing the guillotines and scaffolding are already built at the private prisons Trump lobbied so hard to provide a place to rrradicate dissidents Susan!
Fredo, hi & Merry Christmas 🎄🎁. Lived in Portland & Seattle in earlier years. Read recently that both states, while majority Blue, were split in the middle. West is Blue, East is Red. So glad you virtually clubbed them all and kicked them to the curb. Thank you for being our maga golf whisperer 🇺🇸🗽. Gloating over Pelosi's injuries is a good reminder that our personal guardrails of empathy & decency must be upheld. Bravo for getting "regular FL folks" to golf with in the New Year.
I'd put money on the fact that your MAGA assclown golf buddies are aging old white men with enlarged prostrates, erectile dysfunction, hypertension and maybe a few a few stents in their hearts. That being said I hope they take their Viagra, because they want a boner and blood pressure medication at the same time. Bless their hearts and wind up in the ER with a severe hypotensive reaction.
Mingo, yup, you hit it on the mark… At 73 I’m the youngest and considering the fact I go to the gym 3-4 times a week and train twice a week I’m in the best condition of my life. I forgot to mention that I played a few weeks back with retired law enforcement. I mentioned that to my group and man, they were smoking mad about the retirement benefits these x cops receive… I mean WTF?
Om my goodness YES! I LOVE his bit on golf--except, if he was trying to imitate the Glasgow accent--he was being far too understandable for a Glaswegian.
Fredo, I was just wondering if you're the only mixed group" that plays on that Arizona golf course? They are all brainwashed and irredeemable, of course, but they seem aware enough of the world outside Fox to accept you as their token "lib'rel" (a phrase spit out like a curse word)-they're still aware there ARE people left out there that don't share their biases?
I’m accepted due to the fact that I make the schedule and car pooling arrangements since those guys are not real good with computers… I live in a small community NW of Phoenix… I assume everyone is MAGA unless they prove otherwise.
So, Nancy fell in Belgium and they think they would bring her back to bleed to death in the House, got it, and China will pay for the tariffs and Mexico will pay for the wall, all good.
You have a wonderful Xmas! Loved your post. I burst out laughing at work. I don't discuss politics with co-workers, except a couple of them, because many MAGAs here. They're minorities and sure don't understand why on earth they voted for him. You don't get whiter voting for Trump.
Sorry, but I have heard way too many stories like this from men. Stories in which they sort of shrug off the sick, violent, ignorant spewing of other guys they are spending time with for some reason. Taking a little poke here, jabbing a little there, but not standing up to the ravings of MAGA assholes. Why? Do men not understand that unless they call out other men in real time on their bullshit this fuckery will just continue?? Is a golf game that important? Who cares if that cart partner was 80 or 90 or 100 fucking years old? Why not speak the fuck up? I seriously do not understand this attitude.
The rubes think Trump is a strong man, a business genius. They think Musk is an engineer and mega-mind. Nothing, and I mean nothing, will shake their thinking. And we who know the truth are going to have to watch as all this plays out.
Maybe, instead of allowing federal workers to go unpaid, the government should default on the SpaceX bill. I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I actuality despise Musk more than Trump.
Me too. Both are physically repulsive, but there's just something about Musk. I think it's because he's an immigrant who came here that wants to destroy our country. So different that the immigrants that love America and want us to be better. Trump is a home grown a-hole. How I wish we could deport him (Musk). He has that RBF (resting bitch face or in his case, resting arrogant face).
I’ve been thinking this for weeks, surprised it hasn’t been mentioned much before. Surely the nest of vipers around drumpf is plotting to declare Starlink a national security threat and confiscate it.
To hell with deporting him...I wish someone would catch him by the scruff of the neck and the back of his pants and throw the South African trash to hell outta the country. And his crazy ass mommy, as well. He's sucked more than enough of our tax monies into his own pockets with SpaceX and Starlink
BIden should nationalize SpaceX while he has the chance (and Starlink while he's at it). They are both way too important to our national security to let This Fucking Guy play president and pull shit that is directly against the interests of the U.S.
I'd also love to see his ass deported back to South Africa. That's one deportation I can get behind!
Their whole plan is to inflict as much pain as they can, and blame democrats for it. Even when they take control of everything next month; they will blame democrats for everything bad that happens. And the maga cult will believe them; closely followed by the now subjugated media.
How is it that private citizen Musk can interfere with government functions, threaten duly elected representatives with primaries, and instruct them to pass no bills until Donny takes office. He should be in Gitmo now.
Who gives him the power? Ask your fellow Republicans and request their solutions. It’s not the responsibility of the Democrats to solve this problem. All we can do is support the existing laws.
I'm fascinated. A government remade in the image of a South African IMMIGRANT who's expertise as an inheritance inheritor has crowned him the world's smartest person.
And what does this ungovernment look like? Well, a lot like a self-driving, no input accepted vehicle that occasionally loves to smash into shit, explode and burn to death.
People forget that Mitch McConnell's sister-in-law (Ciao's sister) drowned in a Tesla when she backed into a lake and no one could get her out in time. (Feb. 2024). So that happened.
Deborah, yes, and VP turd & President Musk want to stop the required reporting of auto deaths. President Musk wants no "Tesla car suddenly hard-brakes, causing huge pile up, deaths, injuries. Or when Tesla bursts into flames. Nope, no one needs to review data for recalls, warnings.
I take offense to that comparison, Robert! Dogs are many orders of magnitude smarter than mango man. And more loyal, kind, generous.....basically just infinitely better creatures.
I Agee dogs are much more human than the Odoreater guy just saying a poor mistreated pup who has been abused by the likes of Fatboy !I love 💕 mutts more than a lot of people out there ! 😜
I said this on a different Substack. What we have here is an autocratic, oligarchic kakistocracy. It isn't purely any one of those things, but a full on combination.
And I guess Elonia isn't smart enough to know that if the government shuts down, SpaceX is a contractor and therefore won't be paid. That's one consequence of a shutdown. Most contractors don't get paid because they're not considered essential.
An let us not forget Little Donnie Dumpf the Dotard's statement several years ago, 'I love debt!'. So, it's no wonder he doesn't care if the government goes deeper into debt.
It's just a shame the media never seems to point the fingers right back at Republicans when they add to the debt, yet next election cycle cry about how high the debt and deficit is. What's worse is their propaganda outfit won't ever tell R voters they're being had, and Rs are trying to pull the wool over their eyes by crying about how the debt and deficit are too high, but it's the Democrats fault they were forced to raise the debt ceiling.
I find it impossible to believe that Joe Everyday Citizen gives a rat ass about the national debt. Most people, including myself, are concerned with our debt and our daily lives. Our family and our jobs. I'm also tired of this last minute debt drama all the time. Pass a budget and STFU up about it until the next year.
Trump needs to be taunted every fucking day with people pointing out his subservience to President Musk. These are two world-class narcissists, and the tether isn't that strong. Do you remember when people were doing this with Bannon? After about a week of “President Bannon” talk and a classic bit on SNL, his drunk ass was out of the White House. It didn't end him, but it did disrupt the dynamic. Please do it again.
don't shoot me, I'm just the messenger.
no, wait: don't cancel your subscription, I'm just the messenger
Never ever. But I do want you to be super careful and protect yourself from these violent, stupid cretins. Too many of us need you.
I think Jeff's safe as long as trump has Adam Kinzinger in his sights, after that AWESOME put down yesterday is brought to trump's attention.
Trump has his eyes on a different prize, Musk can run all presidential activities, while he golfs and holds hands with his authoritarian boss!
Trump thinks "the richest man in the world" is his best trophy wife. Musk thinks Trump is a squeaky toy he can manipulate in his pocket.
Trump is SOMETHING in Musk's pocket - but I don't think it's a squeaky toy. . .
LOL
😂😂😂
Thank you! Finally something I can actually laugh about. Which I needed. 😂
Can't wait to see how Elonia handles the holiday decorations at the WH. "Christmas in Mordor" is quaint compared to what Elonia will come up with.
Musk may be the richest man in the world, but he's still one evil looking Gollum troll, with no sense of rhythm.
My precious…
They're both right.
Patrick, "Den of Thieves" doesn't begin to cover it. In a narcissistic cage match of egos, I see turd and Leon both jockeying for dominance, backstabbing, talking shit, lying about each other, wanting to be FOP (Favorite of Pootie).
Perhaps…just maybe, they will physically and mentally destroy one another. Would be like watching two Sumo wrestlers on the mat. The mat could be Rudy Giuliani.
OUTSTANDING, Marlene!
WANT!
Don't touch the shram!
Bosses. Vlad and Melon are running the US. Now. They will be doing lunch periodically to map out Donnie Dipshit’s agenda.
We all have seen how The Orange Blob would rather hold his daughters ass; Fucking pervert!
Joel, just when I forget about those disgusting pics of her on his lap.... 🤮🤮🤮
Speaking of: there was a photo in the last weeks of OP - Orange Putz - with a daughter in law, JD & his wife at what may have been a sporting event. On OP’s lap was a blond little girl, maybe 6 yo, I’m guessing Eric’s daughter. Remember seeing Melania slap or push away her husband’s hand? The little girl had a grimace on her face and appeared to be using a strong hand to push her grandfather’s hand away from her thigh. It made me sad thinking of what he’s said about his older daughter.
His real daddy...Putin.
Biden better pardon Kinsinger & Cheney! If not, those evil fuckers will find some way to put them in jail........or worse
In bad times, one can feel guilty for moments of relief. But your columns deliver both - the awful truth, explained with amazing wit! Reading these writings, is how I take care of myself as you wisely advise. Take care of yourself too, and thank you!
How will Jeff and the others protect themselves without our help? “We are in this together”. Joyce Vance.
I may decide not to read the bad news every day, but I won’t cancel my subscription. We need your input in this messy world. Watching from Canada is frustrating at times , but I realize it pales in comparison to the heartbreak many of you who worked so hard must feel with every news day.
Fellow Canadian here -- we'll be having our own battles here before too long. We must stop Poilievre from becoming PM. Cheers!
Hopefully our “shining” example will wake people up in Canada!
Wishing you the best from the US.
Carol, best of luck to your country. Don't be like us.
I’m an American, but to say I’m greatly disappointed in too many of my countrymen is understatement. Not sure I will flee to Canada, but I may start making very long visits for the next four years. And, no, I don’t want Canada to be the 51st state. I like you guys as a Sovereign nation. Don’t change.
Can we be the 11th province?
Can’t stop won’t stop.
Apologies for my confusion here. Did people cancel because of this article??? If so, wouldn’t they be MAGA-Felon-Humpers? So, good riddance.
people cancel their subscriptions every day. it's just a part of life.
To the dearly departed subscribers, "You want the truth? You can't handle the truth!"
👍👍
Not me! Not ever! My whole sanity at this point depends on you and I'm not taking a break ( that's my choice - maybe not for everyone but that's okay too 😉).
Never, it’s what keeps me sane and hopeful!
You were my first author subscription ever, and now, a necessary part of my morning.
Mine too. I subscribe to a few serious Substacks, but they get either fanboys and fangirls. This group is fun. We have to laugh.
I’m guessing that $5 spot can be better used for Tump cologne!
Or a down payment on the Trump talking fish!!!
Actually, just today for some reason I can’t comment via email or substack despite having a current subscription. Working here via Threads.
Likely here to protect Dear Leader, don’t let the door hit you on the way out you MAGA mooks!!
Yeah, why do people do that? Don't cancel just cause I wrote a new thing. 🙄
Self wedgie from getting their panties in a bunch? 🤷🏼♀️
😂😂😂
🎊👏🏻🩷🎊👏🏻🩷
Could be a financial situation.
Thats true...there are so many great writers on Substack I cant afford to support them all. I'm grateful for the paying subscribers I do have...and the Buy Me A Coffee option is a nice way to show appreciation for the writing ... a one time donation.
Right here with you Jeff! Thanks for sticking with us too.
The $64 question is whether the Democrats will have the balls/vulvae to not vote for a CR that includes a debt ceiling hike.
And we have won the 64,000 dollars. That's something at least.
Indeed Stephen!!
Retired rural carrier here, USPS is still, barely, an essential service and stamp sales pay postal payroll, so letter carriers will be paid. But retirees, like me, won’t get our OPM pension checks.
And the carriers are all working over 12 hrs/day right now, with more to come as Amazon dumps parcels from striking plants into the USPS mail stream.
Cancel? Are you kidding? You’re helping me keep my sanity with cussing and giggles!
Not a chance but you stay safe!
I aint canceling SHIT, motherfucker!!!...this is some of the only brain food out there that helps steer me towards sanity!!!...but I wholeheartedly agree that if these fucksticks wanna see what revolution really looks like, go ahead and fuck with social security...cause THAT shit right there will get me to take to the streets!!!
Best $5 s month I spend
Jeff, as I have maintained ever since the Reagan White House tried to fire the civil servant implied by a small federal commission, if you lose your sense of humor you’ve lost everything. I need your humor.
And a great messenger you are. We are Democrats. We are unlikely to shoot anyone.
Don't worry, you're the sanest voice in the media. I'm sure as fuck not giving up on you.
Their loss if they cancel
Two-part question for the panel:
How many references to President Musk until Trump orders him to Gitmo?
How long until Trump realizes he's been deposed?
Discuss.
We need to keep calling Musk President and put all our attention on him. He will be out of Dear Leader's graces in a NY minute.
Even though the evil dumbshit emperor has been bought by Musk, he may finally realize that he's been played to the max.
Elonia's problem is that the rapist isn't an honest politician. He doesn't stay bought.
"Elonia" is the best ship-name in the history of ship-names.
I’m quite certain that JP Morgan, Hershey, Mott, Marconi, Dreiser and many others, who had tickets aboard the Titanic, liked ships named Olympus and German Amerika, that brought them safely to port better JLH!!
Lol yes absolutely true, but I was referring to relationShip-name. Elon + Melania = Elonia
Putin runs the show as mafia boss of both of these execrable tosspots!
👆👆👆👆👆👆🎯 Putin owns a varied cast of characters everywhere.
Doubtful
Fact of the matter is, Putin is one of the wealthiest and most powerful mob bosses in the world! Every oligarch gives him a cut of their action Jeanne!!
Putin sucked them in, and then made them pay for the privilege of keeping their wealth.
Yes, let’s refer to Musk as President and Trump as his Chief of Staff. Big demotion ain’t gonna sit well with the fat guy. Hehehe.
Ambassador to Trumpmuskovistan.
Dubious Melinda both are Putin puppets!!
👏🏻👍🏼
"President Musk and Vice President Trump" will do it.
Trump is nothing without musks money.
I prefer President Ketamine Clyde.
Yes, I think Trump’s ego is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, he can be bought with the tiniest bit of flattery, which means we’re fucked as far as national security is concerned. But on the other hand he won’t take kindly to being neutered by someone younger, richer, smarter and more powerful. This may be the only thing that saved us from Elon. Two crazy, malignant narcissists fighting for control over our country. I’d grab the popcorn, if only it didn’t make me so sick to my stomach.
Agree with everything except the idea that Elno is smarter than Trump. They are intellectually equal dipshits. What Trump has over Elno is some weirdo bully charisma that a lot of people find appealing. Elno is without charisma, and though Trump is beholding to him right now, Trump is never really beholding to anyone.
Trump, has the con-man's feral cunning to spot a mark, and has failed upward due to the illusion that he is a rich man.
Musk is smarter, he has taken over many successful businesses, and sucked money from the gov teat to keep them going, Tesla should have tanked long ago, but his stans keep buying bits of stock to keep the price up, It is so overpriced it is not funny.
That said Elon, is socially clueless and seems to not understand any World history, politics, diplomacy, or even basic polite interactions. He is inept at being a human in society, and like Tangeranus has surrounded himself with suck-ups. Both are a blight on society, the country, and the world, being easily manipulated by Putin.
TSLA is a meme stock. Check out all the old line and traditional car makers and the P/E ratio is between 5 and 10 (that makes them actually good investments), yesterday, TSLA's P/E ratio was 120. That is very frothy, and defies gravity. One day it will have to crash, and that will be glorious to watch
Thank you yes the P/E is unreal!
Tell the media we want to see Elon's sex videos he made with Amber Hurd.
Trump grew up with mobsters all around him, Tony (fat)Salerno nicknamed him Little Elvis! He’s definitely a product of his youth, but definitely beholden to one of the world’s biggest mobsters counter!!
Donny is most likely too far gone for confrontations or power plays. But riches are his very identity and Elmo has riches in spades. I think he arranged a quid pro quo with Musk, his very own shadow president.
Funny how musq appears to be potusing, pre inauguration. Did turd ok mosq post? I'm waiting for the two malignant evil doers to clash. turd is known to enjoy pitting those close to him against each other, enjoying the drama and chaos. Bring it on, fellas! Or should that be felons?
Everyone in the administration will be at each other’s throats. There will be lots of intrigue and instability within the ranks.
How will the news media ever render ongoing reports to the public that will sanewash and make sense out of what is going to happen inside that administration?
Based on recent history, the media is all the way down (in the sewer) for the challenge.
Donny (and Elmo) watched what happened when elderly Joe Biden stepped aside for a young, attractive, vibrant Kamala Harris.
Well, I wouldn’t necessarily call musk smarter. He’s just a younger version of trmp with the same personality fuck ups. He is Asperger’s smart with the ability to focus intently on one thing which leaves him vulnerable elsewhere. But they share similar characteristics.
They are both sociopaths.

When are all of us going to start talking about the ‘Marie Antoinette’ of it all? Musk and the other billionaires, not giving a fuck about this planet or humanity, and wanted to plunder MORE wealth for no good god damn reason. I did a thorough conversation with ChatGPT about how the top ten billionaires could end world poverty by donating the majority of their wealth while keeping $1billion for themselves and it’s an actual, doable thing that would transform the world altogether and create health and safety for every human on the earth while saving the planet. Again, they don’t give a fuck if we all starve, sicken and die on a dying planet. “Let them eat cake” so to speak.
All of us are never going to talk about it, but we can reach critical mass. Anyway, there's at least one billionaire whose heart is in the right place.
https://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/philanthropist-mackenzie-scott-reveals-2-billion-donations-2024-116923059
She is wonderful as opposed to her ex!
She probably watched his horrible actions and vowed not to be so evil.
Props for the Marie Antoinette reference, Sarah (though she never actually said that). I've been thinking the same thing about Elmo. The entire world could collapse atound him as long as he kept his toys.
Class warfare is an age old problem Sarah… it’s insane that the have not’s voted against their best interests!
" Religion was invented so the poor would not murder the rich ".

Trump is Musk's bitch. Pass it on.
And they're both Putin's subs, because they both have that daddy fetish.
His " bottom " ? 🤔
Love this Tess!
Soon (hopefully) and not long
As soon as he’s told what deposed means would be my guess !?
:-D
That’s a tough question. I tend to lean towards never unless someone else in his orbit points out what Musk is doing. I think the combination of Orange Shitler’s immense stupidity and his dementia will prevent him from figuring this out by himself.
I don't think he cares. He is free to play president while others take the heat.
Yup, it's only when the camera crews stop seeking him out in favor of elon and he's no longer the center of attention that trump will get jealous.
Trump has the following, Muck doesn’t. Trump will swallow his jealousy for enormous wealth and power over his people.
Musk has the Incel army of stans who generally swarm any time he is criticized on twatter or the worst social media sites. Not as many as Bronzo the malignant who appeals to all the losers of either sex, it seems.
hadn’t heard twatter before. . . :D
I refuse to call it X. And I disliked the og douche-bro owner, so I call it that.
… nor Bronzo the Malignant !
Oooo, Bronzo the Malignant...I LOVE it!!! Excellent!
I stole it from Evan Hurst on Wonkette, IIRC.
Exactly Steve!!
That is my suggestion too. Like the Chinese water torture, just keep drip drip dripping that shit out there; President Musk. If anyone is still on Xitter, drop that picture in on it every once in a while too.
Oh really? His 70+ million followers would shout “Hang Elmo Muck” as they build the gallows.
Then guillotine Smuk, just to be sure.
🤞
I feel like Donald is miserable with his little buddy in general. Little buddy knows enough and has enough money to make Donald’s life a living hell. Grab some popcorn.
Trump doesn’t want to work but he wants everybody to think that he’s making the decisions. Elon Musk is making it clear that’s not happening. This thing will break after January 20. Then we’ll know who the people are that are waiting for it to break. They are waiting for the right time to make their move. Too many oligarchs and dark money investors waiting and watching for this cluster to collapse.
I liked your question so much I wanted to hit the like button twice. And also, I wanna hear answers to those same questions
Probably just until Herr Miller explains what Hitler did to suck his wealthy supporters dry.
Evidently we have to hit absolute rock bottom before the cult decides electing this demented old fuckhead wasn't such a good idea. This is scary stuff....and where are the Democrats right now? I'm pissed at the whole lot of them, especially the senile old "leaders" who seem to be laying down and letting this happen.
AND letting Dump off the hook in Georgia because Fani had a fling? UNFORGIVABLE.
America is in some deep shit.
Merry Fucking Christmas. 🙄
Susan ; Although, there is something to the idea that when your opponent is self destructing, do nothing to dissuade them.
Fact David!!
Nice of you to capitalize the Fucking in Merry Fucking Christmas. Makes it a little more festive!
😆
Downright jolly. 😮💨
😅😅😅
Agree on all points, Susan. I just wonder where rock bottom is. With this lot, hopefully it’s not in the deep dark down a bottomless pit😳!
As ‘Merikka stares into the abyss Putin smirks back!!
The Democratic leadership needs several enemas. 😡 Pelosi shiving AOC! The old buzzards won't go away.
🤬😭🤬😭🤬😭🤬😭🤬
It feels so hopeless. :(
I hear you. I feel the same way 💔
You are not alone
Yes it does. The humor here helps. Yours is appreciated.
C'mon Susan, there is NO bottom.
Dems ain't got no juice.
I'm nothing if not hopeful.
This deserves a real response.
The Dems really have no power. The defection of Manchin and Sinema makes the Senate moot, and with the coming switch in majority, they will have even less. Now, you might be thinking that they still have the filibuster. And that is true.
But I would bet my bottom dollar that they will get one thing they can block before Trump (or co-President Musk) demands that Thune eliminate the filibuster to get his agenda through. And then there will be not one fucking thing the Dems can do to stem the tide.
I get plenty of people telling me that Trump and the R's don;t have a mandate. But the reality is that It. Doesn't. Matter. There's not much that can be done to even slow the coming onslaught.
Sure, it wasn't a 49 state thumping, but "mandate" is as much a state of mind, as a quantifiable "thing". And Trump is great at making reality appear from nothing.
Lastly, I see a LOT of people whining that Biden isn't doing more to prevent the coming shit-show. I do not blame him from checking out. He (and Harris) lost, the American electorate has said "Fuck it, we want full fat MAGA". If I was Biden, I would be also plotting my escape.
The truth is the population has shifted to the right - a fucking lot - and MAGA is now mainstream. I think the people really need to get the high hard one, the full monty of what MAGA is going to do. Sure, a lot of them didn't believe the worst, or think that it was Trump being Trump and he really didn't mean the worst of the shit he said.
But, unlike the punditocracy that is thinking Trump will be lazy and not do the scary shit, I think that the folks he is going to put into the cabinet and positions of power are going to be head's down working to "competently" execute on the worst of the worst. Russell Vought, Tom Honan, Stephen Miller, Ka$h Patel, RFK jr, Hegseth, et. alia are all going to run roughshod over the departments they are going to lead, and it is going to be fucking awful.
No, the Dems can't do shit but point and laugh, or shake their heads until 2026.
And you know what? I am not sure that they will even begin to recover the reins of power then. The MAGA fever is here, it is real, and it is going to suck.
This is just the situation as it is.
Elonia Musk invested $277ish Million dollars into the election of Trump, and since the election, his fortune has grown by over $200B. That is a fucking fantastic return on investment. Do you see anyone on the D side that can counter that? I do not.
We need to get on a war footing, because it is a war. I doubt there's enough Secret Service to protect all of the oligarchs.
Remember, hope is the gateway to despair. 😱
Since you’re criticizing the democrats as a bunch of do nothings as the US races toward disaster, what should they be doing?
You tell me what they are doing... in my view, they have not been very assertive in pushing back. Where are they in demanding the DOJ step in and stop civilians like Dump and Elonia conferring with our enemies? And Pelosi is sabotaging the future with her push for a dying man instead of AOC, a bright young rising star.
I believe it was said that the Democrats are bringing a ball point pen to a knife fight.
I do not have answers for this dilemma, but the GOP is brazen in their efforts to turn us into an authoritarian state. I'd like to see a forceful response from the Democrats to save our Democracy.
Agree completely, Susan. The Dems are doing NOTHING. Not even verbally fighting back. Liz Cheney is speaking out more than the collective Dems are. Shame.
Meanwhile, Pelosi, Schumer, Connolly, et. al. are busy tearing down their own party.
Cheney AND Adam Kinzinger too. It’s the Constitution for gods sake. Defend it. And I hope they do not cave on this CR vote. When a shutdown happens be out there and explain who caused it!!!
So, day 1, Trump invokes the Insurrection act and the alien and sedition act, the supine R's in congress could halt it, but I wouldn't bet on it, and a lot of those "constitutional protections" are *poof* gone.
The military used to round up brown people for the camps, repatriation (the nice way of saying deport) happens, CIA black sites are re-opened in skeevy venues, and the extraordinary renditions of Trump's enemies begins, and we suddenly have a snitch public ecosystem akin to east Germany during the cold war.
Yeah, a lot of people are not using their imaginations as to how bad it is. Law and order are going to be wistful memories.
Like this asshole from where else but Missouri? https://www.kansascity.com/news/politics-government/article296685389.html
And this: https://open.substack.com/pub/thomhartmann/p/where-are-the-democratic-warriors?r=39x24&utm_medium=ios
Kinzinger is still making noise. Biden is touting his legacy, but getting little attention for it.
The Democrats need to be one giant pissed off voice.
Scary to Scarlet Letter Fani, but she had to be flawless. The real world is cruel and cunning. She gave them an opening and they gleefully shamed her. It was a shit show. She built a great case but should have charged Trump in 2021 for the low hanging fruit before he announced his candidacy.
Hey Elon…as my mom used to say…”Who died and made you boss?”
this tweet is now obsolete but it was always one of my favorites https://x.com/jefftiedrich/status/291214353133355008
HA! Good one!!
There was a cartoon decades ago when Elizabeth made some remarks critical of Thatcher's pro-apartheid lean and was slammed for interfering in politics: the two are sitting on thrones, and Liz says "We are not amused by your South Africa policy" while Maggie retorts, "Yeah? Well who died and made you queen?"
Exactly. Not one person voted for this despicable asshole and the fact that he's calling the shots without being elected to anything is insanely fucked up. If the albino South African sewer rat gets his way, I hope the millions of folks that are affected by this shitstorm can make it through the holidays and beyond.
Is it possible that Musk will interfere with our cultural reverence for wealth? . . Or our tolerance for greed?
When the Titanic sank and it became known how many rich people behaved badly and how the poorer passengers were locked below decks, the public lost some of its admiration for the famously wealthy.
To get his way would be an unimaginable crime against the American people and they must stand up and take their country back.This is bullshit
Agreed Richard!!
Like
Also, the albino South African sewer rat is an immigrant! Plug THAT into the equation and my brain just sends flares to my eyeballs. WTAF is wrong with these people?
An illegal immigrant, since he worked while on a visa that did not permit that.
Nicely said Rick!!
Hey Mitch McConnell: You did this!
Democracy? I think if we can learn anything after spending $15 billion on the 2024 election cycle (at least the spending that has been publicly disclosed), its that one person’s $250 million went a lot farther towards buying power than the other $14.75 billion.
Donnie is surrounded by sycophants, who would have guessed he could be swayed by money… thanks Kim!!
God my parents used that expression often ( I was the mouthy kid) but it fits perfectly in this situation!🙄🙄🤦🏼♀️
Hi Jeff and friends of Golf with MAGAS. This past week I learned so much so I’ve just have to spill the tea. I explained to my cart partner, 80 years old, that originally I came from WA state, he told me nothing but liberals there, should be destroyed by an earthquake. At lunch they were so excited about the fall of former Speaker Pelosi, wishing that she bleed out on the floor of the House. Next I learned that our economy will be the best in the world, no more conflicts cause Donald will solve them all by himself, Iran, China and Russia. Liz Cheney? Put her on trial and summarily execute her because she had the temerity to criticize Donald and serve on a committee into J6. Next they were so overjoyed that the J6 folks will get pardons, they did nothing illegal. Finally Judge Marchan should be taken off the bench, put on trial or murdered.
So fucking bloodthirsty, so ignorant.. Me? I don’t argue facts or figures with these guys, just not worth it.. My jab was continuously mentioning our new President…. Elon Musk… man that really pissed off those guys. Hey taking a golf break for the holidays. I promise more after the new year, Best to all, playing today with a NON MEGA group😀
Holy shit, they wouldn't have been safe around me while I had GOLF CLUBS within my reach...
There's a good chance that half of what they were saying was to try to get a reaction from Fredo, so congratulations on your self-control and your comebacks, sir.
I love your spirit Dina!!
Yes, u are correct… but hey, I live on the edge….
Your golf partners are just such lovely people. Cruel, ignorant, and stupid. The trifecta of shitty personhood.
WOW...I wonder if they'll sing a different tune after the economy goes to hell? Thats a rough group ya hang with! 😂😂
They won't. Biden and Obama will be blamed for everything. It is just so depressing.
Yep, and it will work.
Lather, rinse, repeat
Susan, anything that smells liberal they want to destroy. As I said I don’t do facts or figures cause you know it’s all “fake news”.
That mindset is scary, They've been told who to hate for so long, they cant see another way. 😭😭😭
Them’s some serious fucking connards you hang with Fastball!!
Exactly
I admire your ability to hang with f**kwits….it takes a special kind of tolerance I haven’t possessed since the Jan 6 insurrection.
Same here.
I really don't know how you stand such ugliness and ignorance, I admire your restraint!
I'm getting to the point of wanting to destroy all of them.
Wait until they see what bird flu does to the price of eggs. Then they can blame BIden for that.
That already IS the reason eggs are expensive and have been for a while. Millions of chickens have been slaughtered already. Nobody blamed Trump for high prices during COVID. Why was Biden blamed for Bird Flu prices of eggs? https://fortune.com/2024/05/28/bird-flu-outbreak-more-than-90-million-chickens-killed/
Saw that first case in the states likely came from a cow, yikes!!
yep...when the avian flu learns to jump to humans--we are all gonna be in trouble and Trump won't encourage seeking a vaccine this time.
Yes they will because it will be all President Biden’s fault anything that goes wrong will be democrats fault any good……co-presidents musk & that other guy bestest thing ever done 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
Exactly, Biden and Obama have made this country a veritable wasteland Cheryl!!
I’m guessing the guillotines and scaffolding are already built at the private prisons Trump lobbied so hard to provide a place to rrradicate dissidents Susan!
Fredo, hi & Merry Christmas 🎄🎁. Lived in Portland & Seattle in earlier years. Read recently that both states, while majority Blue, were split in the middle. West is Blue, East is Red. So glad you virtually clubbed them all and kicked them to the curb. Thank you for being our maga golf whisperer 🇺🇸🗽. Gloating over Pelosi's injuries is a good reminder that our personal guardrails of empathy & decency must be upheld. Bravo for getting "regular FL folks" to golf with in the New Year.
I’m in AZ. crAZy.😀
Arizona, I think.
I'd put money on the fact that your MAGA assclown golf buddies are aging old white men with enlarged prostrates, erectile dysfunction, hypertension and maybe a few a few stents in their hearts. That being said I hope they take their Viagra, because they want a boner and blood pressure medication at the same time. Bless their hearts and wind up in the ER with a severe hypotensive reaction.
Mingo, yup, you hit it on the mark… At 73 I’m the youngest and considering the fact I go to the gym 3-4 times a week and train twice a week I’m in the best condition of my life. I forgot to mention that I played a few weeks back with retired law enforcement. I mentioned that to my group and man, they were smoking mad about the retirement benefits these x cops receive… I mean WTF?
Google what George Carlin said about golf . It's not complimentary.
Loved George Carlin!!!
Of course I adore Carlin, he baptized my children by TV so many years ago. But I gotta say Robin Williams has him on the golf.https://youtu.be/14NQIq4SrmY?si=WFb0238y5cJIxe5q
OMG. LMAO!
Robin was good as well, but Carlin, even when coked.. or after dropping acid was always masterful!!
Om my goodness YES! I LOVE his bit on golf--except, if he was trying to imitate the Glasgow accent--he was being far too understandable for a Glaswegian.
I can listen to Carlin all day.
I just watched that piece last night on My iPad Kristy… Carlin was the best!!
He was absolutely right, though (I live in a golf community) husband liked the landscaping didn't care about the golf.
Fredo, I was just wondering if you're the only mixed group" that plays on that Arizona golf course? They are all brainwashed and irredeemable, of course, but they seem aware enough of the world outside Fox to accept you as their token "lib'rel" (a phrase spit out like a curse word)-they're still aware there ARE people left out there that don't share their biases?
I’m accepted due to the fact that I make the schedule and car pooling arrangements since those guys are not real good with computers… I live in a small community NW of Phoenix… I assume everyone is MAGA unless they prove otherwise.
Suddenly disappear on them, then reappear a month later and ask how they've been.
Ask the old folks how they feel about contracting bird flu because Brain Worms said that infectious diseases should no longer be researched by CDC.
😱🤯
So, Nancy fell in Belgium and they think they would bring her back to bleed to death in the House, got it, and China will pay for the tariffs and Mexico will pay for the wall, all good.
You have a wonderful Xmas! Loved your post. I burst out laughing at work. I don't discuss politics with co-workers, except a couple of them, because many MAGAs here. They're minorities and sure don't understand why on earth they voted for him. You don't get whiter voting for Trump.
Deb, you and your family have a wonderful holiday season. Happy I can make you laugh, cause we all need some fun.
OMG! Enjoy your day playing golf with smart folks!!!!
Sorry, but I have heard way too many stories like this from men. Stories in which they sort of shrug off the sick, violent, ignorant spewing of other guys they are spending time with for some reason. Taking a little poke here, jabbing a little there, but not standing up to the ravings of MAGA assholes. Why? Do men not understand that unless they call out other men in real time on their bullshit this fuckery will just continue?? Is a golf game that important? Who cares if that cart partner was 80 or 90 or 100 fucking years old? Why not speak the fuck up? I seriously do not understand this attitude.
I don't get it either.
They are what's wrong in the country, hopefully they, and many like them, don't make it to the next election, if we have one.
The rubes think Trump is a strong man, a business genius. They think Musk is an engineer and mega-mind. Nothing, and I mean nothing, will shake their thinking. And we who know the truth are going to have to watch as all this plays out.
Oy, gevalt. Infinity.
Well said, unfortunately
Maybe, instead of allowing federal workers to go unpaid, the government should default on the SpaceX bill. I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I actuality despise Musk more than Trump.
Me too. Both are physically repulsive, but there's just something about Musk. I think it's because he's an immigrant who came here that wants to destroy our country. So different that the immigrants that love America and want us to be better. Trump is a home grown a-hole. How I wish we could deport him (Musk). He has that RBF (resting bitch face or in his case, resting arrogant face).
Put him in Guantanamo and eminent-domain SpaceX. He would still be a threat to our security if left on the loose outside our country.
I’ve been thinking this for weeks, surprised it hasn’t been mentioned much before. Surely the nest of vipers around drumpf is plotting to declare Starlink a national security threat and confiscate it.
To hell with deporting him...I wish someone would catch him by the scruff of the neck and the back of his pants and throw the South African trash to hell outta the country. And his crazy ass mommy, as well. He's sucked more than enough of our tax monies into his own pockets with SpaceX and Starlink
And while we're at it, let's stop all salary payments to elected officials.
BIden should nationalize SpaceX while he has the chance (and Starlink while he's at it). They are both way too important to our national security to let This Fucking Guy play president and pull shit that is directly against the interests of the U.S.
I'd also love to see his ass deported back to South Africa. That's one deportation I can get behind!
Their whole plan is to inflict as much pain as they can, and blame democrats for it. Even when they take control of everything next month; they will blame democrats for everything bad that happens. And the maga cult will believe them; closely followed by the now subjugated media.
Sadly, I must agree with you we are fucked🤬🤬🙄🤦🏼♀️
Musk to Americans: "Because fuck you. That's why. "
"Because I can."
Like why a dog licks it's balls.
An oldie but still applies. A comedian said that. Remember who it was? I don't.
Many have stolen that joke 😜
How is it that private citizen Musk can interfere with government functions, threaten duly elected representatives with primaries, and instruct them to pass no bills until Donny takes office. He should be in Gitmo now.
Well, trump has been doing the same as a candidate (and private citizen) for the last four years - acting like he's still POTUS.
Who gives him the power? Ask your fellow Republicans and request their solutions. It’s not the responsibility of the Democrats to solve this problem. All we can do is support the existing laws.
Fox (so-called) News. You brainwash all the Magats, and the congress critters on the right it will be done.
Ask my fellow Republicans? Watch it, lady.
I'm thinking Hell!😈🔥
Let’s keep calling Elon ´President Musk.´ That should really start getting under Trump’s skin.
Go to Xitter to do it. And TruthSocial if it's still a thing. Rub their stupid faces in it.
I'm fascinated. A government remade in the image of a South African IMMIGRANT who's expertise as an inheritance inheritor has crowned him the world's smartest person.
And what does this ungovernment look like? Well, a lot like a self-driving, no input accepted vehicle that occasionally loves to smash into shit, explode and burn to death.
People forget that Mitch McConnell's sister-in-law (Ciao's sister) drowned in a Tesla when she backed into a lake and no one could get her out in time. (Feb. 2024). So that happened.
Whoa. I hadn't heard that.
Bravo, Jon!
Did you watch Rachel Monday night about the self driving Tesla deaths/crashes?
Deborah, yes, and VP turd & President Musk want to stop the required reporting of auto deaths. President Musk wants no "Tesla car suddenly hard-brakes, causing huge pile up, deaths, injuries. Or when Tesla bursts into flames. Nope, no one needs to review data for recalls, warnings.
The debt ceiling is being held hostage. The (presidential) glass ceiling could have been broken.
Trump looks about as presidential standing behind Musk as a beaten down dog ! 🐶 arrff!
As he did standing next to his boss putin 🙄🤦🏼♀️
Thank you! The body language says it all.
I take offense to that comparison, Robert! Dogs are many orders of magnitude smarter than mango man. And more loyal, kind, generous.....basically just infinitely better creatures.
I Agee dogs are much more human than the Odoreater guy just saying a poor mistreated pup who has been abused by the likes of Fatboy !I love 💕 mutts more than a lot of people out there ! 😜
Trump looks exactly the same as when he's with Putin. I'm only surprised that Putin doesn't have a leash on Trumpy's nipple rings.
Ugh...I can't believe I typed that, but that is exactly the image I get in my head when I see Trump and Putin standing together.
The oddest couple !
I said this on a different Substack. What we have here is an autocratic, oligarchic kakistocracy. It isn't purely any one of those things, but a full on combination.
And I guess Elonia isn't smart enough to know that if the government shuts down, SpaceX is a contractor and therefore won't be paid. That's one consequence of a shutdown. Most contractors don't get paid because they're not considered essential.
An let us not forget Little Donnie Dumpf the Dotard's statement several years ago, 'I love debt!'. So, it's no wonder he doesn't care if the government goes deeper into debt.
It's just a shame the media never seems to point the fingers right back at Republicans when they add to the debt, yet next election cycle cry about how high the debt and deficit is. What's worse is their propaganda outfit won't ever tell R voters they're being had, and Rs are trying to pull the wool over their eyes by crying about how the debt and deficit are too high, but it's the Democrats fault they were forced to raise the debt ceiling.
I'm beginning to hate these guys with a passion.
I find it impossible to believe that Joe Everyday Citizen gives a rat ass about the national debt. Most people, including myself, are concerned with our debt and our daily lives. Our family and our jobs. I'm also tired of this last minute debt drama all the time. Pass a budget and STFU up about it until the next year.
The national debt is a continual wealth transfer from taxpayers to bondholders.
Well put.
Trump needs to be taunted every fucking day with people pointing out his subservience to President Musk. These are two world-class narcissists, and the tether isn't that strong. Do you remember when people were doing this with Bannon? After about a week of “President Bannon” talk and a classic bit on SNL, his drunk ass was out of the White House. It didn't end him, but it did disrupt the dynamic. Please do it again.
