Elon Verwoerd's latest pivot—going from calling Trump a doddering geriatric unfit to run a lemonade stand, let alone the country, to now preparing to give him the red-carpet treatment on X—is the kind of spineless opportunism that makes even the most cynical politicians look like paragons of integrity. This isn’t just flipping the script; this is setting the whole damn theater on fire and pretending the flames were part of the plan all along.

Not too long ago, Musk was shading Trump like he was auditioning for a role as a late-night comedy writer, claiming that the man is far too old to be “chief executive of anything.” And now, as if none of that ever happened, he's rolling out the digital equivalent of the presidential suite for Trump on his kakfest platform. The hypocrisy is so thick you could cut it with a knife—though you'd probably need a chainsaw to get through the layers of scripted bullshit and air accordion jamming.

What’s really going on here?

It's all about Musk’s unquenchable thirst for relevance and power. The guy doesn’t just want to be part of the conversation; he wants to be the conversation. And if that means cozying up to the very same man he was mocking just a few months ago, then so be it. Who cares about consistency when there’s an opportunity to bask in the reflected glow of Trump’s deluded circus-like media presence?

And let’s not forget the irony here. Musk loves to position himself as this forward-thinking tech guru, the guy who's supposedly leading us into the future with electric cars and Mars colonization. But then, in the same breath, he’s dragging us back into the political mud pit by giving a platform to a man whose policies and rhetoric belong in the Stone Age.

This isn’t just a case of Musk trying to have it both ways; it’s him trying to rewrite history while we’re all still living in it. It’s the kind of revisionist garbage that would make Orwell spin in his grave. And what’s worse? He knows exactly what he’s doing, and he doesn’t give a damn.

In the world of Musk, loyalty is a cheap, disposable commodity—something to be used up and tossed aside when it’s no longer convenient. He’ll back @GovRonDeSantis one minute, then switch horses midstream to Trump when it looks like that might be the better bet. It’s the kind of moral flexibility that makes your average politician look like a pillar of virtue.

So, here we are, watching this unholy alliance between two of the most self-serving egos on the planet. Musk, who once declared Trump too old to lead, now acting like Trump’s biggest fanboy, all because it serves his current narrative. It’s enough to make you want to pull your hair out—or at the very least, throw your phone out the window in disgust.

But here’s the thing: we can’t afford to just roll our eyes and move on. This isn’t just another chapter in the ongoing saga of America’s descent into political farce; it’s a flashing red warning sign about where we’re headed if we keep letting these narcissists control the narrative. So yeah, Musk might think he’s playing a clever game, but we see it for what it is: a shameless, grotesque display of everything that’s wrong with our current political landscape.

And if you’re not pissed off yet, just wait until these two broederbond clowns take the stage together. It’s going to be the kind of trainwreck that’s impossible to look away from, no matter how much you might want to. And that’s exactly how they want it. Right wing qanon spew.

The media reported that Congressman Byron Donalds said Black families were stronger during Jim Crow. Donalds denied saying this. “What I said was, is that you had more Black families under Jim Crow, and it was the Democrat policies — under HEW, under the welfare state — that did help to destroy the Black family,” he said in a post on X. But this is just as racist and ridiculous and outdated as saying Black families were stronger during Jim Crow. Let me explain with a quick dive into history.

The most lucrative offerings of government welfare in American history—headright claims, the Homestead Acts, New Deal policies, and the GI Bill—largely benefitted White families. These forms of welfare did not destroy White families. The “welfare state” allowed White families to secure stolen Native land, create farms, receive a higher education, start businesses, and buy houses. In short, government welfare allowed White families to accumulate wealth.

When Democrats under HEW began providing a small amount of government welfare—small when compared to what the government had historically been provided to White families—racist politicians encouraged White families to forget their own family history and unravel the entire “welfare state” that had benefited them.

Racist politicians manipulated these White families into believing that they moved into the middle or upper class *purely* on their own superior work ethic and ingenuity; that Black families (and other families of color) did not deserve the same government support that White families had historically received; that Black families were being given “handouts”; making them not want to work (hard); making Black families cradles of laziness and “welfare queens” and criminality and dependence.

Racist politicians framed government welfare as being supplied by White families, since only White people apparently pay taxes. With government welfare imagined to be the bank accounts of White families, racist politicians manipulated White families into believing that Black families wanted to depend on White families as they did during slavery, as racist historical accounts maintain. (Enslaved Black families depended on White families to pick cash crops, prepare food, and upkeep mansions? Really?)

Black families have not wanted to depend on White people or the government: that’s a product of the enslaver’s imagination that still lives. Black people wanted a government that worked for all racial groups. Black people have demanded the rights and resources that the government has given to White people.

Even as Black people received far less, governmental racism failed to destroy the Black family. Just as White enslavers and their ideological descendants have failed to destroy the Black family. Just as Black voices like Donalds, who White journalists are quick to chronicle attacking Black people, have failed to destroy the Black family.

Like human families from Georgia to Gaza to Gaya to Glasglow, the Black family is indestructible. After all these years, the Black family remains the cradle of Black love, of Black joy, of Black creativity, of Black resistance.

Tim Scott and Byron Donalds, Dr. King warned us of your kind years ago. “There are [Black people] who will never fight for freedom who seek profit for themselves alone from the struggle, even some who will go over to the other side…” so we are not surprised by your betrayal. @AP

Pro Hamas or pro Palestinian? Are you suggesting they are one in the same?

When a racist mob attacks a Black person, it finds a seemingly legitimate reason for the attack that allows for it to accrue popular support and credibility, and which allows the growing mob to deny they are attacking the person in this way because the person is Black. 1/4

Me: It’s a list of 65 men that I play basketball with, they identify as men.
Wife: How do you know that?
Me: I’m going to bed.

[London @LondonWWood]

A recent exchange. . .

Me: Honey you will be proud of me, I changed the email greeting from fellas to folks when I added a woman to the group – expecting a gold star for my awareness.
Wife: Well why did you use fellas in the first place, you don’t know how they identify?

[London @LondonWWood]

He's got plenty to say about being "woke" but nothing to say about this?

[London @LondonWWood]

Welp, guess she successfully challenged your assumption. That young woman can run.

[shannon sharpe @ShannonSharpe]

S. Richardson can run with Ta Lou, Jackson and Fraser-Pryce. You’re not chasing women dwn that can run 10.7 or better. She must start better to make the podium

@baldwin_daniel_ Most likely more signs than people in that part of the state.
