Elvis has a complicated history. I’m no historian, just got my information from sources like this:
He certainly didn’t seem as bad as Cheetolini, and he appeared to give credit to his inspirational sources.

“Our distributors are saying, ‘Everyone’s going back to plastic now because of the president,’” he said. “The president I voted for, the man who says ‘Let’s make America great again, let’s help small businesses grow,’ that man is going to put me out of business.”
The other wtf thing is a 600 million dollar industry is relatively small?
The country’s paper straw industry, valued at about $600 million per year by market research firms, is relatively small. But while the president’s effort to end the “forced use of paper straws” doesn’t deal a particularly significant blow to the overall U.S. economy, economists say it is an example of how quickly the administration’s actions can upend conditions for businesses and consumers.
This article is intersting, one man having a temper tantrum is destroying a bunch of mom and pop small businesses.

Apologies for it being The Standard, owned by the son of a known Russian agent and oligarch, and a well known arsehole (the son).

Musk’s AI “Grok” calculates Trump is 75-85% likely a Putin/Russian asset
Sunday, March 09, 2025 at 8:31:34p PDT
We are watching a slow but deepening willingness forming in the American public discourse to face up to the fact that the President of the United States is in the service of the United States’s most dedicated national adversary… the necessary first step in doing something about it.
Now, further progress has been made in that direction with some unlikely help.
As an experiment, Arizona Republic columnist EJ Montini asked Elon Musk’s AI “Grok”, which is built into X and claims to be “maximally truthseeking”, what the chances are that President Donald Trump is a Putin-compromised Russian asset — and got the answer “75-85%”, leaning on the high end.
Here’s the prompt (so you paid Grok users can try it yourselves and see if ol’ Leon has rushed to brainwash the AI yet:)
What is the likelihood from 1-100 that Trump is a Putin-compromised asset? Use all publicly available information from 1980 on and his failure to ever say anything negative about Putin but has no issue attacking allies.
After a thorough, probably minutes-long search through info sources revealing, in Grok’s own words, “a complex web of financial ties, personal interactions, political behavior, and circumstantial evidence,” — much of which information will be familiar to regular Daily Kos readers — the chatbot wrote:
…
Trump’s ego and debts make him unwittingly pliable… Adjusting for uncertainty and alternative explanations (e.g., ideological alignment or naivety), I estimate a 75-85% likelihood Trump is a Putin-compromised asset, leaning toward the higher end due to the consistency of his behavior and the depth of historical ties.
suppose musk has now ordered a musky-script-kiddie to catch such inquiries and substitute happy piggy snorts as a response? nahhh… he doesn’t care.

Two days previously, this right-wing group posted this:
Not a coincidence, obviously. Especially since the DHS agents apparently told him his visa had been revoked. When he told them he had a green card, that confused the agents for a bit, but then they decided that had been revoked as well. This doesn’t seem to be remotely legal, and they know it, which is why agents hung up on his lawyer when they asked about the warrant…
We’re fully into the “first they came for” territory.

PANAMA CITY (AP) — After weeks of lawsuits and human rights criticism, Panama on Saturday released dozens of migrants who were held for weeks in a remote camp after being deported from the United States, telling them they have 30 days to leave the Central American nation.
It thrust many like Hayatullah Omagh, a 29-year-old who fled Afghanistan in 2022 after the Taliban took control, into a legal limbo, scrambling to find a path forward.
“We are refugees. We do not have money. We cannot pay for a hotel in Panama City, we do not have relatives,” Omagh told the Associated Press in an interview. “I can’t go back to Afghanistan under any circumstances … It is under the control of the Taliban, and they want to kill me. How can I go back?”
