@elonmusk watching a documentary on Cuba. Thinking about flipping it, but running a little short. “if you have somewhere between $100 billion and $300 billion lying around”
You got to admit Republic of X has a ring to it.
@sama I’m learning how to use it more every day. Probably the most useful tool I’ve ever used in my 50 years on this rock. I’ve been a mechanic, college student, firefighter, business owner. I’ve used every type of tool for the last 32 years. Wish I was younger and could grow with it.
@DOGE I worked for the department of the interior. Found a cost saving measure and was made to watch a video of why it is important for all government agencies to use all our budget. I got an award equal to the savings, thus canceling the savings. Learned my lesson...

@MattWalshBlog 20 years as a firefighter/emt, and I've only had 1 person give me an answer, I believed. 88 year old lady that fell and broke her hip. Didn't call 911 until 6am, made herself comfortable until we might be awake at the Firehouse. She rated her pain as a 4.
WHY TRUMP WON
While the legacy media has a meltdown searching for hitherto undiagnosed psychoses in the electorate to explain its embrace of a Hitlerian strongman, the truth is much simpler than their fictions.
This election is a reminder that after all the manufactured drama and overheated rhetoric, politics is still about issues. Whether you agreed with him or not, Trump ran a substantive campaign based on issues like the border, inflation, crime, and war.
Harris ran on vibes, celebrity endorsements, name-calling (“convicted felon”, “fascist”), debunked hoaxes (“very fine people”), and platitudes (“democracy”). She would neither defend the Biden-Harris record nor say what she would do differently. When she did talk about specific issues, they were often stolen from Trump (child tax credit; no tax on tips; border funding).
On the one issue where Democrats had an advantage, abortion, Trump deftly got ahead of the issue by rejecting a national ban and removing problematic language from the GOP platform. Harris wore out the issue by blatantly lying about Trump’s position and by exhibiting her own party’s extremism (nobody needed to see an abortion truck at the DNC).
While Trump expanded his coalition with MAHA (health) and DOGE (government efficiency), Harris concluded her ersatz campaign by going all in on demonizing her opponent, pretending Madison Square Garden was a Nazi convention.
The fact that voters saw through it should be reassuring, even if you don’t agree with the result. Voters want to know how a candidate will give them a better life and, increasingly, they have learned to tune out the rest as noise.
While the legacy media creates excuses and impugns the motives of voters to explain why Trump won, the reason is simple: Trump is the candidate who spoke to voters’ concerns directly.
It’s the issues, stupid.
@joerogan Really wanted to watch this. Stayed up late when I heard it dropped. I thought Joe looked different. Stressed almost? The wrinkle on his forehead between his eyes barely left. Trumps "weave" was political tap dancing at best. Got to say I'm concerned and disappointed.
@elonmusk This is such a bizarre video clip that I don't know if I'm supposed to heart it. I wouldn't want anyone to accidentally think I support this crazy lady and whatever agenda she's part of. GoDarkMaga
@TheAKGuy@retrorifle Wait, I identify as a guy with a small penis, so it's okay to attack me for "the way I was born" because I like something different than you? Sounds like typical alphabet soup people hypocrisy...
@VivekGRamaswamy As a first responder, I've dealt with many many people like this. There was so much to learn from this video. You handled the situation fantastic, and you answered the question perfectly.
Also, kudos to your security for how they handled their part.
Lots to learn from this!
Of all the @joerogan episodes I've listened to today was the first time I couldn't listen to the end. @neiltyson talked over Joe so many times that I.....
