Cue the next learned essay about how what Democratic voters really want is centrists in 3, 2, 1…

Musk is that kid in middle school who went out of his way to act smug and edgy in a desperate attempt to impress the other kids but it was all so cringey and irritating that it just made everyone hate him, but he was so dysfunctional that all he could do was try even harder to be smug and edgy, which just made the other kids hate him even more, and 'round and 'round it went until finally somebody decked him and then his mom complained to the administration because the other kids were bullying her baby.

It’s a shame we don’t have a government agency dedicated to eliminating wasteful spending, since they could’ve done their own job and avoided this situation by cutting off the subsidies that are the only thing that prop up south Texas rice cultivation - the biggest waste of water in the region.

Just another day in the life of the Toddler-in-chief.

I’m getting tired of Pelosi’s transparent attempts, by offering up insipid advice and critiques to the younger generations of neolibs, to distract from the fact that her main accomplishment in her own career was using inside information to build up her stock portfolio.

You had your chance bitch, and you sold us out for your own privilege. Just go crawl off into a hole somewhere and rot and leave the rest of us the fuck alone - we’re busy dealing with the crapsack world you helped build.

Notice how every time Musk is criticized for being a toxic piece of shit, one of his parents or some other authority figure sticks up for him?

Guaranteed that that’s the way it’s been his entire life, and that’s why he’s never outgrown being a petulant, reckless, self-absorbed, blameshifting teenage edgelord.

Discworld’s fine by me.

And that after that we got a new DNC chair which completely changes the organization?

I’m calling bullshit on that too.

The time for leadership is right now, when the US is facing the greatest threat in modern history and the Democratic party is at the forefront of organizations that can and should step up.

And they very much have NOT. That, all by itself, amply proves that while the names may have changed, the organization hasn’t. Even in this extreme hour of need, they’ve painfully obviously chosen to do fuck-all.

I’m entirely comfortable presuming that the neoliberals have never let go, and they’re already astroturfing their counter to the inevitable criticisms that are going to come when they yet again run on a platform of being not the Republicans, and of being just barely to their left. Just as they’ve done in the past, they’re going to blame their inevitable failure on us. Just as in the past, it’s not going to be that they’re corrupt sacks of shit wholly owned by moneyed interests and willing to lose an election rather than risk reducing the flow of soft money - it’s going to be that we didn’t go ahead and support them anyway.

I have zero reason to believe that this whole song and dance about a supposedly new and progressive DNC is anything other than just a new spin on the same old con job.

I’m calling bullshit on this.

There’s no possible way that Biden or any of his people could let or not let Harris do anything. They had no actual control over her campaign.

The only outsiders who had any control over her campaign were the DNC and the party establishment - the same pieces of shit who torpedoed Sanders in 2016 and 2020,.

I’m 100% certain that this narrative is coming from them, trying to dodge the blame they so richly deserve by pinning it on the senile guy.

Musk never outgrew 8th grade.

He’s still in there, day in and day out, doing everything he can think of to try to get the other kids to think he’s cool, and still just making himself look like that much more of a creepy, pathetic douchebag.

What he meant is that nobody rich and white died.

Nobody else counts.

All I get from this is that right-wingers are more likely to be so stupid that they rely on somebody else to tell them what to think.

They share his desire to destroy the country.

Professional politicians are looking forward to the day when they can come out from under the shadow of dark money and influence peddling and financial reports and openly live as lords of the corporate/kleptocratic new world order.

So seriously - at what point do we collectively face the fact that the PotUS is a raving lunatic?

I have zero doubt that a large part of the reason that Trump appointed Musk in the first place was so that he could later throw him under the bus.

So… the legal concept of free speech does not apply to private businesses but does apply to branches of the government, so Gym Jordan is actually violating the way in which it does apply in order to try to force it to apply in a way in which it does not.

It’s as if there’s some sort of contest between Republicans to see who can most egregiously violate the most legal principles at one time - as if it’s not enough to just destroy America - they have to try to destroy it as much as possible and in the most stupid and brazenly illegal ways possible.

Yes - just as with the DEI controversy, the main point is just to fan the flames of racism.

The 1% understand that the US is approaching a breaking point. Things are going to shit, and people are going to start looking for someone to blame for the ugliness and horror and death to come.

And the blame falls squarely on the shoulders of the 1%.

And of course, they don’t want us to see that. So they’re doing everything they can to divide us against ourselves.

Ron Mael would beg to differ.

And so now we just wait and see what excuse Musk will trot out next.

Stewart is a smart, insightful, quick-witted and tenacious debater and Musk is a cowardly, thin-skinned blowhard who’s never had an original thought in his life.

So it’s not a matter of if Musk will weasel out of it, but just of when and how.

The Toddler-in-chief throwing another tantrum.
