“The future is now, old man”

I live in that particularly odious senator’s state, and saw this on the bike trail yesterday.
That frame and rims don’t look like they don’t suck
Every time I read this “let them eat cake”, it reminds me of what Luigi did…
Thanks Senator Joni Hearse.
I hate her so much.
Musk thinking all that Trumpism will go to him helps in making things make sense.
I’m calling it now so I can link to it in 3 years, Musk is wanting to make a presidential run.
like @[email protected] said, this show has a purpose and I think Trump is planning on going even harder and now they have someone they can pass the torch off to since they’ve already vetted his ideology and love his money. Gotta distance yourself at some point so you can swing in and be the “savior”. He can lay the whole DOGE think on the current administration getting in the way and will totally be a conservative this time. The comments and rhetoric around Elon are already starting to be softer now that he’s in this feud with Trump.
Musk isn’t American born. He is ineligible to be President without a change to the US Constitution.
Since when does the constitution matter to these fuckers?
Not that it’ll stop them from trying but the constitution does say you have to be a natural-born citizen.
“What is Habeas Corpus?” joking, but I guess my minds been so fractured from this administration it doesn’t even consider the constitutional protections America has.
It does make me wonder about the presidential line of succession though. The Speaker of the house is 3rd in line, they could all get together tomorrow and vote him in.
The Constitution does not explicitly require the speaker to be an incumbent member of the House of Representatives… permitting a non-member to serve as Speaker would effectively exempt Speakers from the eligibility requirements of the House Qualifications Clause of Article I, Section II and from being bound by an oath of office under the Oath or Affirmation Clause of Article VI as opposed to House members.

Would be fascinating to see how something like that would play out, scary, but still fascinating in a historical precedence kinda way.
Anyone in the line of succession that is disqualified to hold the office is skipped. Again according to the rules that the GOP might just ignore without consequence, but I don’t think they like Musk enough to bother.
He can’t be president, he wasn’t born here. They already tried that with Ahn-old, and he actually stood a chance of winning. No way anybody with enough juice will back Skum’s presidential bid.
actuary tables suggest trump doesn’t make it to 2029.
honestly I’m far more afraid of the shady-ass VP who is the bagman for Peter Theil
actuary tables suggest trump doesn’t make it to 2029.
Actuary tables say Dick Cheney should have died ten years ago.
Do those account for the blood of children that he drinks?
Reminder that Dick fucking Cheney is still alive and kickin’.
To be fair they keep giving him new hearts to keep him alive.
Seriously?
He’s only 6 years older than Trump. 2 years older than Biden
And only spent a brief period of time in the Bush administration not having a human heart beating in his chest!
But, now hear me out, about a barely-obese 52yo with a seeerious ketamine addiction?
The line of blood donor clinics I predict he opens in order to funnel the youngest blood into his own veins and ideally stave off ageing, even that’s gonna do nothing about the impending kidney failure.
And that’s just factoring in the ketemine and obesity, now what happens when you include the rest of his drug cocktail? At least Hitler had the excuse of getting gassed on the trenches, Musk is just a druggie.
Not shaming folks who like drugs but let’s be honest here Musk is filling his weak little ego with narcotics.
Trump can get away with what he does because of his cult, historically cults typically fall apart after the founder dies even when there’s a planned line of succession
That’s what I’m hoping
Tell that to Trump’s self contained severed living head in a glass container in 2070
More realistically… AI Trump.
They could feed all of his bullshit into a model, and have an AI Trump spewing nonsense forever. Bet it’d even take AI golf trips.
I think that’s called reddit
Never drank or smoked. Probably quite a rarity for that generation.
He is a vile PoS. Even when Biden announced cancer, Trump demonstrated more humanity than Vance did. Vance has no chill and no human decency.
Trump did no such thing. Trump’s handlers took his phone and typed a message, Trump since has been nothing but disgusting and vile
Whatever, the point was even Vance couldn’t do that. Started questioning Biden’s health before.
I was not defending Trump, I was criticising how Vance limbo’d under Trump’s response…
The fuck he didn’t.
YIKES:
Was that a threat, or Elon just being practical. It’s funny either way.
Clearly, since Trump is the healthiest president ever to hold office, he will outlive Musk. That is just a given. Therefore, this statement by Musk can only be take as a threat against the life of the president, by an immigrant no less. Send in ICE, SWAT, Seal Team 6, and Space Force to grab him and deport him to Mars.
/s mostly, but I really would like to see Musk shot off in the general direction of Mars.
I just learned that I am older than Laura loomer. Her plastic surgery made me think she was 50.
Holy shit she’s in her early thirties! Why do all these MAGA women get such awful fillers?
And Katherine leavitt is only 27
wtf she looks 40? Like she’s pretty but she looks way older than me.
yeah she looks like shit
It’s more surprising that these fuckers just happily throw all the dirty laundries on the street.
Theyre dumb narcissists with no shame. And they love attention.
Fighting for the crown and the Skeksis Emperor isn’t even dead yet.
I would say “where’s the lie” but he’s universally hated and he just injected like $20 million into the Wisconsin election and they lost because he’s toxic
He also lost because, in his mind, money = influence. He didn’t realize that even conservative Wisconsin voters do not react well to people throwing money at them to win.
We border Illinois and constantly deal with FIBs coming to our state, utilizing our parks, lakes, and woodlands, while acting like they are better because they have money. This is particularly common in the north woods where a lot of the conservative voters are.
Illinisians also think money makes them important. The difference is that we tolerate them because they are our neighbors, and we have a long history of hating on each other but also relying on each other - similar to siblings who disagree with how the other lives their life. Musk is a complete outsider and people were not happy about it.
Hey neighbor, Minnesotan here but new to the term FIB, mind sharing?
Hello Midwestern neighbor!
I’m not sure if I’m allowed to swear on this sub so if my post gets deleted, that’s why, but it stands for “fucking Illinois bastard.” It’s super common on the southern side of Wisconsin and the people from Illinois are often aware of it and use it too in a joking fashion.
Well consider that added to my lexicon! I have a few people that come to mind hahaha
So there’s this radio editorial from 1973 called “America: The Good Neighbor”, written by George Sinclair. I think a lot of what Sinclair described has been lost, unfortunately, but this line always pops into my head:
You talk about scandals, and the Americans put theirs right in the store window for everybody to look at.
I feel like this part is still true. For better or worse, as a nation even when we feel shame due to the behavior of our politicians we don’t try to hide it, pretend like it doesn’t exist. Our politics is theater and we all know it. It’s on display for everyone to see.
You can read the whole thing here: https://thinkingagain.com/html/american_tribute.php
It is an artifact of history, and just… keep in mind that it needs to be read and understood in the context of the time it was written. The Apollo program had just ended the year before, and US troops had just withdrawn from Vietnam. The Watergate scandal was current news and is specifically what Sinclair was referring to in the quoted line above. Martin Luther King Jr. had been murdered only 5 years prior, and the civil rights movement of the 1960s was a recent memory. It had been only a decade since John F. Kennedy was assassinated.
And there was video and live discussion of all of it just on display for everyone to see on the still quite new platform of broadcast television.
Things haven’t changed much.
The plot thickens I haven’t been this excited since the first assassination. 🍿
“assassination”
You should read the mental gymnastics being performed either by republicans or by AI bots for republicans.
A giant circle jerk of Elon isn’t our enemy he just doesn’t understand politics and Trump does. On repeat.
And, Congress sucks, and because they suck so badly and won’t pass hardly anything, this big beautiful bill is the best bill to fix the debt we can get right now. On repeat.
Those two bylines are everywhere. It’s probably going to stick too.
Ok, now I’m starting to question the purpose of this show.
Because, technically, that remains to be seen.
I’m not convinced that is the case.
