Let that sink in for a minute. It might be the most clear example of both Musk and Trump’s incompetence. There is nothing that compares: firing everyone in charge of nuclear weapons and then realizing, “wait a minute, what agency is this again?”

I wonder if auto production dropped 5% because of frigid weather as well? I can’t think of anything else that might be slowing production or impacting consumer confidence.

I’m inclined to agree with those that say X is working as intended. Whether musk envisioned the financial wreckage that would result is another question. Perhaps he thought it would be considerably more profitable. But he knows nothing about government, and the endgame here is much different.

Nothing like pulling statistics out of your arse. How can 90% of people approve of something that hasn’t been disclosed?

Child (who is still learning): kindness

Adult (who should know better): hate

That’s one reason. I believe a number of states also have exemptions on religious grounds. There could also be lax enforcement, particularly in communities that are vaccination wary.

Measles has never been completely eradicated in part because it’s high herd immunity requirements (94-95/100). The less people there are immunized the more likely an outbreak will spread. When you get closer to that number, outbreaks are small and stop quickly. But it’s never fully gone away.

I think there’s some distinction between Nietzsche’s concept and how it was corrupted by the N@zis. I think Musk would think himself more aligned with the later.

America, meet corruption.

Imagine that, a Valentine’s Day without a heart.

I think he means ubermensch.

By nudity I’m assuming they meant the naked truth.

Does never count as last?

Please note: the two guards in the last frame are private contractors.

Because it’s not Christianity. It is the trappings of a civic philosophy that is directly opposed to Christ’s teachings.

This is an interesting theory. However, I’m not sure if it’s supported by history. While I will concede that the world as a whole is more free than it was a century ago, I see no clear reason to believe that the pendulum won’t swing back. Russia, Hungary, Turkey, Venezuela, etc etc.

Notice it reads “support for war” not “fighting in a war.” Oh yeahhh indeed.

Agreed. An essential part of Christian Nationalism is the illusion of being oppressed. Black and brown people in this country have no such illusions; it is reality.

Conservatives can never blame themselves when something goes wrong without making sure they point out that liberals have done something just as bad or worse. George Will’s most recent column in the Washington Post is another excellent example.
