Sorry but there’s no way the federal government is spending 120 BILLION on DEI initiatives.

Aaaaaaand therein lies the truth. These “cuts” all look good on paper, until each Rep realizes that HIS constituency is about to get f#cked, at which point the cuts are unsupportable. Shit like “agriculture support” and stuff will NEVER be cut, because there are no more loyal GOP voters than farmers.

And also takes credit for shit Nasa did successfully 50 years ago already.

“Unscheduled disassembly” is the “conscious uncoupling” of sad nerds.

I am not a fancy expert on how the government works, but some random, made-up department can’t unilaterally make budgetary changes, correct?  Doesn’t the House still control the purse strings, as the old saying goes?  Which isn’t to say the House wouldn’t go along with this, given its current makeup, but still. 

Siri, show me a metaphor for 2025.

Its because they know their base is fucking dumber than a bag of rusty hammers. They know exactly jack shit about even basic economics. A lot of their knowledge of money is how much one of their bro-dozers with a lift kit costs versus how much a new trailer costs. They hear that we are going to put tariffs on cars…

Simple: he’s so deep in the throes of syphilitic senility that he just plain forgot.

It’s what Republicans do.  They twice tried to tariff their way to prosperity exactly 100 years ago, and it famously didn’t really work out.

Didn’t Trump negotiate “the most beautiful deal” in the NAFTA 2.0 agreement? (USMCA) Why is he all of a sudden saying the USA is “subsidizing” Canada? 

Republicans are - I think the term is “showing their asses?” - on this Tariff thing. Tariffs represent everything they’ve spent the last decade decrying:

OK, you win the internet today. 

Because they have zero idea what they are doing and like to think they know better, whilst simultaneously ignoring centuries of underground transit experience.

Bannon doesn’t like competition.

“Instead, Bezos says Musk is doing his work in space for the betterment of people, rather than himself:”

Imagine the monotony and mental abuse you’d have to endure being a driver on that job — probably long hours, crap pay, and nothing but loud, annoying, self-absorbed convention goers — often drunk and obnoxious — making the same dumb comments and jokes over and over, every 5 minutes. Plus nothing but artificial light…

The “go back to South Africa” line is just *chef’s kiss*.

He’s a racist and should go back to where he came from.
