Plus the assumption that it’s always someone else’s “eggs”* being sacrificed for your omelette.
*which also pisses me off because we’re talking about peoples’ lives, not actual eggs. The saying would be more accurate if it were “well, you can’t lift yourself up standing on a pile of shattered lives without shattering some lives”
The weird thing is, even a month ago they were both saying that Musk is a disaster and needs to go. That gave me some hope that, even though I know they’re both conservatives, they at least weren’t falling for the Trumpian propaganda. Alas.
I know my boss has this weird anti-EV bee in his bonnet, convinced that they are (and always will be) worse for the environment than gasoline or diesel. And he probably doesn’t think Elon has enough decorum, or something.
Good thing we fired over 100,000 fed workers and cut back billions in already approved spending that helps everyone. Because Diaper Daddy is throwing himself a $100 million dollar military birthday parade!
The current liberal conspiracy on this is that he cannot be returned because he is dead. I hope that’s not true, but it might explain their absolute refusal to do anything at all.
Apple May Be Forced to Raise iPhone Prices Due to Trump’s Tariffs
And you can bet the fuckers at Apple will see if they can get away with uplifting prices in other countries not subject to US tariffs, too. (Cynical? Moi?)
Some day, some of these people will be living under a bridge, standing in a bread line, turn to each other and say, with complete sincerity, “Isn’t it great living in America’s new Golden Age?” They have been thoroughly and completely brainwashed.
hey if they don’t do that (and seriously i hope they don’t do that) then it’s time for some full-on return to smuggers and piracy to avoid “the king’s revenue” yo ho! (“Arrrrr we caught er’selves a hold full o’ non-tarrrrriffed apple booty last crossing!” next-up: “Thunder Road” with laptops instead of moonshine)
This is sadly a very plausible scenario. They basically signed this guy’s death warrant when they shipped him there. If he makes it back in one piece, he’ll be a lucky SOB.
“Trump and Musk are playing with fire,” said retired Massachusetts judge Nancy Gertner, who is now a lecturer at Harvard Law School. “They’re undermining bedrock constitutional principles.”
She added: “You can’t shut down a court just because you disagree. The judges have done nothing wrong or inconsistent with their oaths, and nothing outside their judicial roles.”
Trump’s call for impeaching Boasberg drew a sharp and broad rebuke from supreme court chief justice John Roberts, who last month said that “for more than two centuries, it has been established that impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision”.
He went on: “No - it is MY job to fix the legal decisions that Trump needs to go his way.”
Pam Bondi, the US attorney general, has expressed skepticism about the idea of Donald Trumpserving a third term in the White House, saying that when her boss’s current presidency ends on 20 January 2029, he is probably “going to be finished”.
I think most of us attribute an entirely different meaning to Pam Bondi’s four key words, there, than the meaning she intended.
