elon musk at cpac was so fucking weird you guys I know this reads like a parody but I literally just wrote down what happened www.theverge.com/elon-musk/61...
![Musk: Well, President, uh, President Milei has a gift for me.
Schmitt: [hamming at camera] Javier Milei from Argentina, you guys know who that is, right?
Milei, a friendly-looking figure who resembles Bilbo Baggins right before he Smeagolifies, enters the stage carrying a chainsaw. He presents the chainsaw to the billionaire, who then waves it around unsteadily.
Musk: This… is… the chainsaw for bureaucracy. [pumps the chainsaw in the air] CHAINSAAAW!](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:4t2ziwnnescprzorvmrfduey/bafkreiaq5wpff25isb2ylypajpm57h5xlpb7ms6ws4fghayhnge2wqqbom@jpeg)

Welp…we f’ing warned you
Trump, just now, at a joint news conference with Netanyahu, said “the US will take over the Gaza strip, and we will do a job with it to. We’ll own it…level the site, level it out and create an economic development that will create an unlimited number of jobs and housing…”

The most surreal and maddening feature of the campaign was that everyone agreed that high prices were the main issue but the guy explicitly, consistently running on a platform of raising everyone’s prices won voters most concerned about high prices.
We hammered this time and time again and yet.

Why the religious beliefs of Trump defense pick Pete Hegseth matter
Hegseth’s Christian views have been shaped by a 20th-century movement, Christian Reconstruction, which seeks to make America a Christian nation built on biblical law, writes a religion scholar.

Why is it that when you disprove the conspiracies about the drones with the fact that it’s not aliens or Iran, the MAGAs get angry at you?
Shouldn’t you be happy they aren’t Iranian or alien? Do they really just wish chaos and destruction on us all? If so, what is so broken in them? Why so angry

This has been the fundamental problem the political press has had with Trump.
They’ve been conditioned to believe it’s only a scandal if it’s a secret that’s been exposed, so all the crimes that Trump does brazenly out in the open — bragging about them on camera even — somehow don’t count.

They are continuously digging to find the sort of dirt on Biden that Trump just does out in the open.
