Unprecedented abuse of power

Must be a day that ends in ‘Y’

Elderly narcissist continues to be narcissistic.

Between this and the AI accounts, they’re being real explicit about manufacturing public opinions.

My first instinct was to say “Yeah, but Henry Ford wasn’t an idiot.” But then it occurred to me: We didn’t have Twitter back then. He might have just successfully kept his idiocy under wraps. On the other hand, Ford actually did come from humble origins, so I guess it is unlikely that he was as dumb as Musk.

“Corrupt Official Prefers Compromising Integrity for Bribes Instead of Threats”

It’s like an Onion headline.

President Musk wins again.

Death cult.

Which do you think upsets Donald Trump more: genocide or a personal slight?

It’d be a darn shame if he cut off weapons to Israel over this disrespect.

His dumb ass is so easy to manipulate.

Elon is sure acting like he feels like a god lately. Hopefully it doesn’t all blow up in his face because he’s a bumbling dumbshit or anything…

No, they fucking don’t spark concerns. Literally nobody who supports Trump or any swing voters give a shit about his emails. Democrats and the media need to stop acting like anyone cares about “muh norms” and call out the fascist power grabs. But, if they start talking about real issues, they might have to talk about their own shortcomings, and we can’t have that.

8 years ago I’d have thought “Elon will step out of the limelight to avoid upsetting Trump so he can use his White House access to make a ton of money.” Now, I know he’s just as narcissistic and stupid as Donald Trump is.

It’s lucky that Elon is the president and not Trump.

I think the only plausible scenario that would draw away enough voters for the party to actually get replaced would be for a social democrat or progressive to win the presidential primary but the party leadership takes it away with convention or superdelegate shenanigans. If AOC runs, it might happen.

I think the optics of “we did everything we could” will be important, if it comes to that.

If they outlaw congressional stock trading, I’m fine with them doubling their salary.

Democrats have, again, learned nothing

They already know full well they need to make a populist shift to win. They’d rather lose than alienate big money.

No. Stop. Don’t.

The thing that made me so pessimistic about the future of this country was when I learned that the people who advised Hillary’s 2016 campaign were still advising Harris’ 2024 campaign. They failed multiple times and the consequences have been catastrophic, but they held on to their positions anyway. I have no reason to think they won’t be back in 2028, because the people who have a say in who gets party leadership are people selected by the old leadership. We need a borderline hostile takeover of the Democrat party, and after Trump did it to the Republicans, the existing powers in the Democrat party only entrenched themselves further.
