    Apparently now Gaetz, Loomer, and Coulter are attacking Musky and Alex Jones has sided with him.

    As I posted elsewhere, it’s like when the Mordor orcs and the Isengard orcs were fighting each other. :)

    It wasn't just Mordor vs Isengard...it was also the Mordor orcs vs. Minus Morgul orcs. "It is difficult with these evil folk to know when they are in league and when they are cheating each other."

    Infighting is fun to see, but the conflict will just help them evolve into some kind of super bug.

    Billlionaires and CEOs want more immigration? Shock.

    Who didn’t see this coming?

    MAGA was fed a bunch of inflammatory rhetoric. Now they are no longer needed.

    Chris Hayes pointed out that this will be the first new administration with no ability to be re-elected (Grover Cleveland was before the 22nd).

    We’ve never had lame duck from day one.

    Musk: "Americans may be talented but want high pay".

    Also Musk: "WAAAHH!!! Please don't block my Tesla bonus, Mr. Judge!!!"

    Well, there are plenty of places where you can live pretty comfortably on those salaries, but I'm not sure Austin is among them.

    As someone I forget said in Bluesky:

    I for one think that cutting unstable MAGA grifters with audiences primed for violence off of their largest source of income is a genius move Mr Musk.

    Only someone as smart, good looking and funny as you could have thought it up.

    From what I've seen TL leans conservative (at least for a Canadian), but not in a brain damaged blindly partisan way like UA or FF. He's also a businessman, so he sees a lot of things through that lens.

    TBH I'm excited to see Trump finally turn on Musk, because the federal government has been far too lenient on Musk and his companies for far too long, including heavily subsidizing them. Even if all Trump does to punish Musk is make sure he's treated like a normal person when he breaks the law, that'll be a huge win.

    Political positions aren’t really that important to me

    I find when people say “I’m conservative!”
    or “I’m liberal!” to be quite gauche

    There’s ideas and beliefs i like from tenets everywhere, all over the world

    Also I’m pretty drunk right now
