Everyone must obey and he had space cooties in his brain?

Looks as though musk didn’t get much sleep last night. Or he did and slept with his left head against the pillow.

4 Eyes now has a slimmed down version with a few tchotchkes retained to placate Democrats but with the debt ceiling increase demanded by Insane Clown. Democrats appear to be standing firm against it for the time being anyway. Insane Clown is not yet president and Muskrat other than having all the money in the world is nothing so if Democrats allow them to plant their fat asses in the way of the previously agreed upon deal they might as well close up shop. On the other hand with their continuing will to lose from dickless Merrick Garland to Fani Willis and her feeble self defense to Kamala being a joyous pom pom waving Barbie Doll one could argue that they have already closed up shop. Republicans think Democrats are pussies and why wouldn't they? Here we are awaiting the Second Coming of Insane Clown when he should be rotting in jail. Democrats handled Insane Clown well in 2017 when Insane Clown shut down the government to try to force funding of his stupid wall. In the past the public would invariably blame Republicans but now thanks to Democrats and their utter weakness they can expect that the blame will be placed on them. Insane Clown will no doubt threaten them and the cult followers will chime in with death threats. And as such they may decide better to just cave in now than later.

“Musk math”!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 TFN is seriously giving me life right now. Thank you, Mr. Larsen.

So much great bad news here! I’m not condoning the dems lack of urgency around hegseth’s xtian nationalism; however, I think he’s just such an absolute shitshow that there’s not enough oxygen to fully expound to the masses just how horrible he is.

Wonder if Vance is feeling like a third wheel in this bromance?

If memory serves correctly, Bannon was running the government during tfg's first reign, and it didn't last long. Elonia will be harder to rein in, especially since he can rally his X twits force rapidly, but you can't eclipse the Sun for long. Any bets on when Musk gets booted from DOGE? Then again, that would leave us with the equally insufferable Vivek.

Please, Jonathan, keep us laughing as long as you can. I fear the immersion into this world can be overwhelming.

I can't see him going past a few Scaramuccis...

The way he is stealing the limelight and upstaging Drumpf, I'd guess just a couple more....

"Mouth flaps" reminds me of "flappers" in Heinlein's "Stranger in a Strange Land." He sure got that right, as did TFN. Good job, nice connection in this 76-year-old brain.

Love a good connection! Thank you!

So. Can anyone tell me whether Pete can manage anything as complex as a 7-11 or a CVS? Not necessarily the corporations. I mean the places in strip malls over by Telegraph Road and Six Mile. This trivial little matter doesn't seem to concern the 50 or so people vetting him for his next job...

Comrade Musk is in charge now! Please obey or find yourself in the Siberian penal mines.

After the NDAA anti-trans fiasco I'm rooting for a govt shutdown. Trump wants to send the military to round up immigrants and Colorado is the location in his cross hairs, so anything that hamstrings that goal is a win in my opinion. Just because they're playing 'by the rules' now doesn't mean Trump is gonna keep doing so once he's sworn in, so the more barriers we throw up *now* to slow him down the better.

Oh god, just fuck me with the stupidity of the Musk douchebag. For some reason he gets under my skin to a much greater extent than even DJT. I made the mistake of listening to the “All In” podcast with all your favorite Tech-Bros of PayPal Mafia fame, Sacks, etc etc. They think just because they fleeced public investors with crap shoot IPOs and read Ayn Rand and Tolkien in college, they are masters of the universe. Likewise Ramaswamy (who according to the Financial Times made his money by pumping and dumping a known worthless drug that he purchased for $20K from pharma). And Peter Thiel is just a weird fucker.

Completely agree with all of your assessments

I'm torn on pressing the heart button. On one hand, I appreciate how you deliver news, so I'm inclined to heart it. On the other hand, the info you imparted is so vile and alarming to me that I don't like it at all. Just know that, despite not pressing the heart button on this article, I still appreciate you, Jonathon.

The easy "interaction" buttons play to our emotions, but what they are is calculating.

The popularity of the author is derived from the popularity of their posts.

You "heart/Like" a post for the author, not for the content of the post.

"Like" buttons are confounding that way! Thanks for the sentiment, Elizabeth.

At least you're truthful. And truth was never pretty.

Thank you for being gracious enough to let me comment here.
