I’m almost inclined to think Musk is more of a danger if he gets a seat at the White House

I feel like they’d chalk it up as “a price I’m happily willing to pay to protect my freedumbs” or some dumb shit like that.

In 2022, global fossil fuel subsidies reached a record $7 trillion, which is 7.1% of the global GDP. This is more than governments spend on education annually and about two-thirds of what they spend on healthcare. - International Monetary Fund.

Ironic that so many of the right-wing nut jobs adopted the “Don’t Tree on Me” flag over the past few years and then elected a government that literally by design is planning to talking away rights by the bucketful. IMHO every true supporter of the Constitution, every Harris voter, and everyone with open eyes ought to…

He did that last time he was pres. Didn’t stop people like Stephen Miller running roughshod over every marginalized group out there.

Racistsayswhat?

I think the word your looking for is “woman-hating stupid racist”.

This. I’ve lost my last reserves of empathy for the dipshits who voted for this. I don’t want innocent people hurt, but it’s going to happen. I will feel no sympathy for the red-hats whose daughters die from back-alley abortions. No sympathy for parents who lose children to easily-preventable childhood illnesses. No…

At this point, I immediately assume any statement by McConnell will be reversed the moment it becomes convenient.

Well, the thing is, all his dipshit acolytes are now going to run Congress, with no real checks on their power. I report data to the FDA so that it can make serious, life-or-death decisions about patient safety, and that organization is very likely going to be run by a man who does not believe in the fundamental…

I do think Trump probably doesn’t really give a shit about anything he said or promised—this run was purely to get himself out of (or postpone) legal trouble. Trump only cares about Trump, and since he can’t run again, I doubt he cares what anybody thinks beyond getting the occasional ego boost from his diehard fans.…

Agreed! And if it ends up looking like the R’s control the House and Senate (along with the Supreme Court), you will see a lot of off the cuff changes.

Jimmy Kimmel summed it up neatly:

Congress being GOP means that the has a has clearer path on new laws he’d like to pass; Mitch indicated the filibuster isn’t going anywhere, but he’s not going to be Senate Majority leader, so who the fuck knows what happens.

1st Gear: You forget that Trump and his minions have already categorized his promised 100% and 200% tariffs as “metaphorical tariffs.”

They tried to repeal Obamacare, McCain saved it.

Adding a few thousand bucks to the price of two of the best-selling cars in America is surely an easy way to piss off the people that voted for you and your pledge to make America affordable once again.

All the guy had to do was quietly go into retirement and move on. He’d forever be remembered as the hero mayor of NYC during 9/11 who was the face of a national tragedy unlike anything we’d seen. Showing true grit, moral fiber in the face of comments from Saudi leadership (and the refusal of a $10 million donation…

Nah he doesn’t need yesmen, he went to the Wharton Business School so he knows all about economics apart from his university, airline, steak business, some of his golf properties, etc..... and many other things. Saw Forbes or someone come out with an article recently saying he was in debt for $2 billion...

That’s OK. He’s pretty confident that his followers don’t know anything about how tariffs work either. Hopefully neither of them get the opportunity to find out up close and personal.
