John Quiggin is an Australian professor of economics.
He’s tried. 7th grade him wrote a more believable excuse letter.
Leavitt’s theatrics come across as desperate and unprofessional.
If the current regime basically requires all wimmin WH staffers etc. to dye their hair blonde and present as unmistakably feminine, they could at least hire actual actors who can delivers their scripted lines in a more convincing manner.
Anyone who has been observing
at all is familiar with his addiction to drama and to performative gestures demonstrating loyalty. Among their many weaknesses on display, here’s hoping their increasing hysteria we see being performed before the cameras and microphones rattles some people’s trust in today’s TPTB.

Abrego Garcia fled gangs in El Salvador to come here at 16, and since then has been working jobs. He got married and had kids. He has special needs kids and is working as a sheet metal apprentice so he can earn more money to better support them and his family. On top of all that, he was working with an attorney to do what he needed to do to become a legal resident, going through all the proper channels. You’re damn fucking right he’s a father of the year candidate. Where do I vote for that?
So much better than the contendant they like.

In Musk’s widely-known view—now shared by many people in conservative circles—“civilization is going to crumble” if {white} people don’t start having more babies.
I know the implication is clear, but let’s just put it out there.
The word ‘civilisation’ there is one of those ‘means whatever they want it to mean, depending on who they are’ highly subjective nouns.
As Mahatma Gandhi apocryphally said when someone once asked him what he thought of Western civilisation. “I think it would be a good idea,” he said.
It still would be. But not the one those over-breeding fuckwits want.

There are no new jobs for miners. The mining industry was one of the first to go with automation over manpower. Continuus miners put most WV coal miners out of work. I was there. In the 70’s. The number of miners working in the industry goes down every year. They are full of shit.
That WSJ piece on Mosk’s “legion” of children is a trip. I had to read an archived version.
He likely has far more than 14 children, and he’s been building a troop of broodmares in order to produce an army of “super intelligent” children to populate Mars.
Musk has used his wealth to buy the silence of women who have his kids, according to St. Clair as well as other people, text messages and documents reviewed by the Journal.
Nondisclosure clauses are part of some of the payment agreements. If the mothers push back or seek outside counsel, Musk’s advisers, including Birchall, have threatened financial retribution, according to the documents and people.
Birchall described Musk’s expectations to St. Clair: “Privacy and confidentiality is the top of the list in every aspect of his life, every aspect, and his entire world is set up to be, like, a meritocracy.” Benefits flow, he said, when “people do good work.”
During the call with Birchall, St. Clair told him she had received outreach from a woman Musk had invited to have his baby. She said she was being caught up in Musk’s “harem drama.”
The Pinkerton company is one of those weird anachronistic old-timey villainous entities that somehow not only continues to exist, but actually seems to be doing pretty well:
It’s like finding out that the East India Company didn’t actually dissolve in the late 1800s and is still out there selling opium.
I don’t think It will work, as He clearly lacks raw material to make smart babies. Unless, like His videogame antics, He is outsourcing the genes.
His creep factor outweighs the money. And at least nine of his kids were conceived using IVF - I can’t imagine anyone wanting to have his baby using the old-fashioned method. And he’s obv not involved with the daily upbringing of any of them, I would think.
addendum: i’m guessing trumpnmusk don’t have physical sex with anyone. does that make them incels? oh, and one of the babies was carried by a surrogate. how fucking convenient is that?
It isnt about Jobs, It all about manly masculine macho jobs. No more smug snobbish delicate jobs. Do you hear me hippie tree huggers?
When that army of babies with unknown parentage start dating each other - it’s Charles II of Spain all over again.
Who needs women working is definitely part of this.
“…good work for their glorious and revered leader who is the only one to whom the meritocracy thing does not apply.”
And ‘good work’ = shutting up and doing what you are told, having dumped all sense of morality at the door.
I make no bones about it. I want to see Trump dead. Soon. Don’t care how.
Musk? I’d settle for him being Bobbitted. But no surgical reattachment.
ETA I’d like this clip to follow him for the rest of his days.
