Trump said today that he's buying a brand new Tesla to support Elon and he wants his followers to do the same. No word yet on how people who can't afford a dozen eggs are going to manage that, but stay tuned.

It takes several months to complete the FAA Academy and two to four years of on-the-job training to become a certified air traffic controller, but don’t worry, the ones Elon’s DOGEbags want fired will be replaced with “geniuses from M.I.T.”
So this is fine.
Everything is fine.

This reality show premise of finding the dumbest MFer in the country and making him president isn’t going well. Season 1 sucked. Season 2 is much worse.

Just a reminder to my meager audience here that the economic boycott today extends to not spending any time on Facebook or Threads. Zuck is just a Musk wannabe.

Here's what it boils down to: Musk and Trump are willing to let you die of cancer, and children around the world die of malaria or starvation just so they can be a little richer.

I was in Mexico City a few years ago discussing government corruption with a Mexican friend. I told him that since Citizens United, bribery of politicians was essentially legal in the US. He said, "In the US, when you bribe someone, they give you a receipt."

Elon—the richest man on Earth—is gutting the world’s largest provider of food aid. He could end world hunger single-handedly and still be the richest man alive. But he won’t.
Instead, he spent 40 million on Super Bowl ads attacking USAID!
