Election Fallout

Oh FML…

It’s called fucking DOGE…

Also, is it JUST me or is it HEIGHT of stupidity to create a whole ass government department in order to cut whole ass government departments? They are literally creating more bureaucracy to “destroy bureaucracy”… granted, it’s stupid bureaucracy led by stupid men, but still… God, we are in the very wrongest trouser leg of time…

Trump voters on tiktok are EXTREMELY mad about the following:

  • They just found out what tariffs are
  • They just found out what denaturalization is
  • They (particularly black and Hispanic trump voters) just found out that other trump voters are racist
  • Leftists and liberals don’t want to be their friends (they are furious about this)
  • Leftists keep telling them they hope they get what they voted for (they are really mad about this too)

Maybe a good sign already for midterm voting?

I also saw somewhere that a trending Google search now is, “Can I change my vote?” :person_facepalming:

Definitely misses the forests for the trees. Guns and climate change are economic populist topics. Climate change destroys wealth, primarily for the 99%. Gun violence, likewise, destroys families, causes widespread economic harm, and pulls school resources away from education into otherwise useless time and energy.

If people want to be part of economic populism, they need to be open to listening to experts, otherwise it’s empty pageantry

Trump gave him something that doesn’t exist and that he won’t spend time running.

Hopefully- he got a title- not a real job. And Trump is going to tire of him real quickly. That’ll be fun.

One small thing to look forward to. When Trump says Elon, be gone.

He’s theoretically supposed to be running SpaceX, Tesla, Twitter, the Musk Foundation, the Boring Company, xAI, Neuralink, and who the hell knows what else in addition to co-raising his twelve children. Yet he apparently spends enough time playing video games to be one of the top 20 Diablo players in the world.

I assume he will take his new government position just as seriously as he takes his other responsibilities. Which is to say he’ll probably put in a token effort yet still find some incredibly stupid ways to screw it up.

Apparently- he’s hanging out at Mar-a-lago full time now. Inserting himself into all the family social activities.

That’ll get old for Trump quick. Trump’s the least chill dude to hang with. And Elon’s a goofy, intrusive man boy

That seems to be the take shared by people who are familiar with both men. No residence can handle two narcissists of that magnitude for long.

Why do they all use this fucking image?

Either that, or Trump in his progressing dementia starts to think Leon is one of his sons.

Oh what if he dies before he kicks that illegal immigrant out? RFKJR/Musk/couchfucker!!!

Happily Vances owner Thiel hates Musk.

Well it’s not like Trump has ever shown much affection for his actual sons.

But Leon gives him lots of money instead of the other way round and might also share the ketamine.
Good boy!

Maybe he’ll have a ketamine overdose at Mar-a-lago. That would be a hilarious obituary!

Though the staff probably carry narcan for Beavis and Butthead.

I don’t usually use Reddit, but I have been enjoying r/LeopardsAteMyFace lately. Here are a few gems from the last couple of hours.

Trump will use Xi Xinping’s “anti-corruption” playbook:

[…]

I think it’s safer to say that Trump will selectively target businesses for anticorruption enforcement – including antitrust – based on whether they oppose him or suck up to him. I think American business leaders know it, too, which is why every tech boss lined up to give Trump a public rim-job last week:

[…]

Trump will not need to falsify evidence against corporations that are disloyal to him. All of America’s big businesses are cesspits of sleaze, fraud and predation. Every merger that is being teed up now for the coming four years is illegal under the antitrust laws that we stopped enforcing in the Reagan era and only dusted off again for four years under Biden. They’re all guilty, which means that Trump will be able to bring a valid case against any of them.

[…]

Over the next four years, Trump will use antitrust and other corruption-taming regulations to selective punish crooked companies. He won’t target them because they’re crooked: he’ll target them because they aren’t sufficiently loyal to him.
