So, you put music over what I said, and make fun of how I said it? This is the problem Scott. You can’t debate the points anymore. You won’t address the issues. All you have left are lies and personal attacks. Come at me on the substance of my point or don’t come at me at all.

Trump has been lusting after the Nobel Peace Prize for years. Yesterday, he called it the "Pulitzer Peace Prize." His dementia is a stone rolling faster downhill every day. You've seen his snarling rages. What comes next?

I have never read a purer distillation of MAGA Christianity than "thou shalt bear false witness."
It’s okay to use deception in service of defeating the left. It’s not sinning in order to do good. It’s being righteously shrewd in order to do good. It’s also okay to enjoy it. Lighten up.

Karoline Leavitt was a woman endowed with the ability to lie loudly, obnoxiously, aggressively, spitefully, every single day at the podium at the White House. Even her boss can't lie with a face as full of pent-up nastiness as Karoline when she gets wound up. Trump will miss her.

I always thought dictatorships occurred because the authoritarian leader was cunning and evil… But now I know it’s because the people that let it happen were dumb and weak.

I spent the last few months talking to people across the political spectrum, and to people who want nothing to do with politics at all. Here is what I learned. We are not a divided country. We are a country being divided, on purpose, by an American oligarchy that profits from the fight. They’ve captured our government, denied our healthcare, looted our treasury, and saddled us with crippling debt. I believe in a New New Deal. Healthcare as a human right. The right of every family to a decent home, and an end to endless wars. And a dividend paid to every American from the AI economy, because these machines were built on the whole of human inheritance. That inheritance belongs to all of us, and not just to the handful of men playing God with our very existence. And none of it happens if we just move on. Donald Trump, his family, and his administration are robbing us blind, not just of our money, but of our faith in one another, and they have to answer for it. Truth and reconciliation, not revenge. Then we break the system that let them do it. The question is not whether we will lose our democracy. The question is whether we will fight to take back what has already been stolen. I learned in recovery that you can’t heal what you won’t name. Neither can a country.

Things most Americans agree on: Groceries cost too much. Tariffs suck and make no sense. Congress and Presidents shouldn’t trade stocks. The debt is a mess. The border should be secure, but legal immigration is good. Endless wars are stupid, especially ones that nobody wants and have never been explained. Americans are exhausted. AI is like my new best friend that also might be trying to take my job, my ability to think for myself, and my humanity in the process. Yo like I love you, but WTF, but I still love you. Diversity is actually awesome! The opposite is boring AF. Canadians are super fucking cool. Mexicans are chill. Putin isn’t a good guy looking out for America’s best interest. Rocky IV and Miracle are great movies. Good neighbors are a blessing. Freedom of religion and coexistence without having to blow each other up is probably a good idea. We all question, are we alone in the universe? We all fuck up along the way. Epstein didn’t hang himself. The Trumps and Epstein were best friends for decades. It’s like Bert trying to tell us Ernie was just an acquaintance in the same social scene on Sesame Street back in the day. The Cowboys suck. Go Birds! Things we’re told to fight about: Me. Laptop. Vaccines. Transgenders in sports. Pronouns. That’s the joke.

Agreed. Invading American cities with armed troops with no respect for due process is not okay. Genocide over delusions of difference, and religious supremacy is not okay. Instead of investing in people, peace, healthcare, human values, new models for education, city development, mass transportation, an advanced society, this gov is giving us more of the same. Corruption and militarism. And the result is chaos.

Dear DOGE, SpaceX has been promised $20.7 billion in government contracts and grants, with over $8 billion already paid out. Maybe stop the waste and abuse of burning tax dollars in the atmosphere while veterans and seniors get their benefits cut and Americans struggle to afford the basics? I mean the guy is worth $349 billion! Thanks.
The FAA is halting flights into several Florida airports because of Elon Musk’s failed Starship launch. The destruction is causing massive amounts of debris to fill the atmosphere.

It's a bit surreal, I have to admit. I mean, my expectations for "Conservatives" are already exceedingly low - but the MAGAt infected GOP manage to slither under that bar daily. God. Offal. People.

.@elonmusk Let’s break this down one by one: "If Trump is NOT elected, this will be the last election": This claim is alarmist nonsense, designed to manipulate emotions and undermine the fundamentals of American democracy. Let’s not forget that Trump, in his desperation, did everything in his power to steal the 2020 election after losing by over 7 million votes. He even called for the termination of the U.S. Constitution, a clear signal that his respect for democracy evaporates when things don’t go his way. Then there was his fake elector scheme, a brazen attempt to override the will of the American people and cling to power. Let’s be clear: Trump is the one who threatens democracy, not the one to "save" it. His Project 2025 lays out a dangerous blueprint for consolidating power in ways that could undermine democratic institutions, centralizing control over federal agencies to serve his agenda. If there’s any risk of this being "the last election," it’s Trump who could make that a reality if given another term. That’s the real threat we should be concerned about. "If even 1 in 20 illegals become citizens per year, that would be about 2 million new legal voters in 4 years": This is misleading. Undocumented immigrants cannot simply "become citizens." The pathway to citizenship is highly regulated, requiring lawful permanent residency (a green card) first, which can take years, even decades. Furthermore, there is no evidence of Democrats expediting this process for political purposes. Legal immigration and citizenship processes are slow, complex, and thoroughly vetted. "Democrats are flying ‘asylum seekers’ into swing states to win elections": This is a conspiracy theory with no factual basis. Asylum seekers go through a rigorous process and are not automatically granted citizenship. Most asylum seekers take years to achieve lawful status, and even longer for naturalization. There is zero credible evidence of coordinated relocation efforts aimed at swing states to influence elections. Furthermore, asylum seekers cannot vote until they complete the lengthy naturalization process, which takes many years. "America will become a one-party state": This ignores the diverse and evolving nature of American politics. Voters, including immigrants who naturalize, do not uniformly vote for one party. Factors like the economy, local issues, and shifting demographics all play significant roles. Republicans, for instance, have made gains with Hispanic voters in some regions, illustrating that voting preferences are not predetermined. "This happened in California after the 1986 amnesty": Even after the 1986 amnesty, California remained politically competitive for years, and today Republicans still hold seats in Congress and statewide offices. "California is an example of what will happen to America": This is an extreme exaggeration. California has the fifth strongest economy in the world. California’s challenges, such as homelessness or cost of living issues, are complex and cannot be simplistically tied to immigration or one-party governance. Many of these problems are seen in cities across the country, regardless of political control. Additionally, California has implemented successful policies in education, technology, and environmental protection that other states look to emulate. "There are 9 million migrants eligible for naturalization": While the number of migrants eligible for naturalization may be accurate, it is misleading without context. Eligibility doesn’t mean automatic citizenship or immediate voting rights. The naturalization process involves a waiting period, background checks, interviews, and language and civics tests. Many eligible immigrants do not apply or take years to complete the process. Also, newly naturalized citizens do not all vote the same way, political preferences among immigrant communities are diverse. In summary, this false conspiracy suggests that immigration policies are being weaponized to permanently alter the U.S. political landscape in favor of one party. The reality is far more complex, and American democracy is robust, not dependent on any one election or candidate unless Project 2025 is implemented if Trump wins this election.

Behold, the unparalleled artistry of Dullard Trump's grift! Like a maestro orchestrating a symphony of self-enrichment, he has once again demonstrated his mastery of fleecing the taxpayer. The Secret Service, tasked with ensuring his safety, was instead transformed into a posse of golf cart chauffeurs, ferrying him and his entourage around the lush expanse of Mar-a-Lago. And the price tag for this indulgence? A mere $200,000, a sum that would be laughable if it weren't so brazenly emblematic of Trump's boundless contempt for the public purse. In this grand farce, Trump plays the lead role of the grifting virtuoso, exploiting the system with all the finesse of a carnival barker. His agents, reduced to mere golf cart caddies, are forced to indulge his every whim, all while the taxpayer foots the bill for this extravagant spectacle. It's a triumph of hubris over accountability, a testament to Trump's unwavering commitment to the art of the swindle. He belongs in prison.

I didn't call Trump "America's Hitler;" that was JD Vance. But if you don't think Trump/Hitler comparisons are fair, please remember: Like Trump, Hitler scapegoated a certain powerless minority as "vermin" "infestation" & "poisoning the blood of the nation." He also promised "mass deportations" of the undesirable minority. Like Trump, Hitler was a right wing, pro-militarist white nationalist. Like Trump, Hitler publicly despised immigrants, and demonized & targeted certain groups for exclusion. Like Trump, Hitler was anti-LGBT & banned abortions for "citizens." Like Trump, Hitler was a scab who hated labor unions & collective bargaining. Like Trump, Hitler used the pretext of "law and order" to justify the expansion of police powers. Like Trump, Hitler promised mass deportations of undesirable minorities. Like Trump, Hitler relaxed the stricter gun control laws of the liberal govt that had come before. Like Trump, Hitler promised to restore order & discipline through strong, authoritarian leadership. Like Trump, Hitler supported conservative religious education in the public schools. Like Trump, Hitler used excessive Nationalist propaganda, and attacked the press as fake. Like Trump, Hitler organized large, theatrical rallies where he promised screaming fans he would root out Marxists and crush their enemies. Like Trump, Hitler's most fanatical support came from rural, socially conservative Protestants. Like Trump, Hitler pretended to be Christian. Having said all this, I wish Hitler had been more like Trump: spending all his time golfing, watching TV, alienating his allies, getting arrested for stupid corruption & consuming massive amounts of trans fats. "We want to burn out all the recent immoral developments in literature, in the theater & in the press- in short, we want to burn out the poison of immorality which has entered into our whole life and culture as a result of liberal excess during the past ... (few) years." -Right-Wing Adolf.
