Burning up his fuse up here alone?

Musk and Ramaswamy in the WSJ:
Too much spending and regulations has become detached from the people. Examples (and the "" is a direct quote).
500m to Corporation of Public Broadcasting
1.5b to international orgs
300m to "progressive groups like Planned Parenthood"

Planned Parenthood is the biggest abortion provider/rights advocate.

Musk is a pump and dump artist. I'm convinced part of the reason he massively overpaid for twitter is that he knew he could make a lot of it back through pump and dump schemes.

Now having a willing coconspirator as potus there is no limit to the level of pump and dump that they could profit from.

Sure they could teach each other a thing or 2 about ‘pump and dump’

It really is simple: Return all the hostages and call Netanyahu’s bluff that it’s about getting the hostages back.

I’ll speak for myself, but if someone kidnapped my son, or God forbid my daughter, I would heaven and earth to get them back. That’s the nice way of saying no holds barred, no outcomes off the table.

You can call that whatever you’d like, I really don’t care, as I have ZERO “loyalties” to EITHER side. The FAFO credo applied here and the FO has not been enjoyed.

When did Netanyahu say it was all about getting the hostages back?

Sometimes ponder what Alistair Cooke would have said about the orange moron in his Letter from America.

"Can I be the correspondent for Canada? Or Rwanda? Or anywhere else?"

Let’s see what they do. It’s always about the policies, not the conjecture.

Yeah, let's see.

First, no it isn't. Otherwise Nixon would never have resigned.

But that was then.

Of course it seems "about the policies" now that the law-breaking etc. has been ignored by the electorate and squelched by his election.

Problem is, if they fuck all the policies up, all those that supported him will continue to support him, and whomever he hand picks to follow him, and blame the now powerless Democrats, immigrants, women, gay people, "deep state" and whomever else isn't them for all the ills. And his followers will come right along.

So it doesn't matter, does it?

Nope.

But that what he wants the "other side" to feel. Fear. Hopelessness. Terror. It what keeps autocrats in the big seats.

Go look at some of the posts from his supporters on these threads, reveling in the pain and suffering of others. Remember when Harris promised to build bridges and name Republicans to positions of import in her government? Has Trump done that? Will he ever? Of course not. He only wants sycophants. He's not even naming experienced experts to his cabinet (his previous cabinet nearly to a member disavowed him and/or won't work with him again).

So if/when he fails, we all who think he should be as far away from the WH as is possible (preferably Uranus) can all say we told you so, and not a single poster here who supported him will say, "You were right. We fucked up. We learned our lesson." Not one.

So again, the success or failure of his policies are 100% completely and totally irrelevant to his support.

So kinda like how you are blaming the ignorant electorate now? Talk about the kettle calling the pot, black.

You really don't want to go down the route of lets "go look at some of the posts from his supporters." Your side is full of awful people who can't stomach others disagreeing with you

Yeah, Biden also promised to build bridges and consensus. Neither happened. But sure, let's believe what Harris said - it's not as if she changed her view on everything but abortion during the campaign. Sure!

That said, why should Trump hold himself to some lie Harris promised? I don't remember Trump promising to do what Harris said, do you?

So if/when he fails, we all who think he should be as far away from the WH as is possible (preferably Uranus) can all say we told you so, and not a single poster here who supported him will say, "You were right. We fucked up. We learned our lesson." Not one.

So in other words, they'd be acting exactly like you are acting now?

So again, the success or failure of his policies are 100% completely and totally irrelevant to his support.

And also totally irrelevant to his opposition... So what's your point?

All this because I have no interest in having a drink with you.

Sad.
