“Flying cars, and colonies on Mars,” they said… yet here we are with a bloated tangerine and his pals pumping and dumping the stock market in 2025. I want a refund on the future my school books promised me.

Raskin: "Elon Musk, you may have illegally seized power over the financial payments systems of the Treasury, but you don't control the money of the American people. The US Congress does that under Article 1 of the Constitution ... we don't have a fourth branch of government called 'Elon Musk'"

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

Mountains looked pretty alright this morning. I could have gone without it being -10° during the walk to and from the gym, though.
