Donald Trump is going to hold the title of the worst president in American history and the second worst.

Some are calling Elon the "George Soros of the right."

That's not really accurate. He's more like 44 George Soros' of the right.

Gender criticals could get their dark wish and hunt down every trans person and eliminate us. Jail us, force us to detransition, take away our HRT until the dysphoria returns and we kill ourselves.

And it would solve nothing. Trans people will continue being born. Every culture has had boys that want to be girls, and always will. This is something that happens like being gay.

We have to have conversations and public policy that balances competing interests.

Is it all over, but the mockery?

Has Elon run his course?

Musk spent between $120-200 million on trump’s campaign. That bought him weeks of continuing face time. Now trump is apparently wasting little time making a punch line out of Musk.

“Elon won’t go home. I can’t get rid of him, until I don’t like him.” trump said Wednesday.

It seems that the world’s richest man has worn out his welcome as he has spent “nearly every single day” of the last week at trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida.

According to CNN, Musk has been spotted golfing with the president-elect.

And not only has Musk dined with trump and wife, Melania, he has inserted himself into world affairs, hopping on calls with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.

MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell argued that Trump’s comments about Musk were an assertion of his dominance, played before a room that has to play along.

And as trump mocked Musk:

“Everyone laughed,”said O’Donnell. “They laughed that uncomfortable laugh. But they laugh when donald trump makes a joke about someone on his team. A joke that everyone knows is true. A joke that paints that person as pathetic, as donald trump’s personal sense of superiority demands that he do.”

O’Donnell also suggested that Musk’s new role co-leading a new agency, the Department of Government Efficiency, otherwise known as “DOGE”, is basically a patronage joke. Musk’s responsibilities will be commensurate to a “fake job” with little more power than that of a lobbyist on K Street.

Because in reality, DOGE isn't a real government department. They are created by congressional means and approval.

And both trump and Musk are narcissists; their relationship is likely to fizzle out. An almost certainty as evidenced by others who have circled trump’s orbit for longer than they should.

Lastly others have said that trump goes through people like tissues and he and Musk are going to clash eventually

The underage girl who claims she had sex with Matt Gaetz had braces at the time. (I know who she is.)

That poor girl was treated like a common hooker by that group of Matt's friends.

Matt had naked hula hoop parties, too.

I’m so old that I can remember when America had presidents and attorneys general who didn’t have mugshots.

The ability of demagogues & autocrats to surprise, to create a new scandal every day, is their superpower. It diminishes attention to the previous day's transgressions & normalizes them. It slowly numbs the senses, including outrage. Values are the only defense. Hold them dear.

@ArtCandee 70% of VA employees are veterans. 30% of all federal employees are vets.

[Art Candee 🍿🥤 @ArtCandee]

@MuellerSheWrote A good chunk of those work for the VA, too.

[Mueller, She Wrote @MuellerSheWrote]

@ArtCandee Guess how many are veterans. It’s more than half a million.

[Art Candee 🍿🥤 @ArtCandee]

Vivek Ramaswamy, the new co-chair of DOGE with Elon Musk, has said in the past that he wants to lay off 75% of the government's workforce, the U.S. government being the largest employer in the country.

That means that over 1.7 million people will be without jobs.

Sounds smart.

Fuck.

[The Lincoln Project @ProjectLincoln]

So that's why Matt Gaetz resigned immediately yesterday — to kill the ethics investigation into him.

So the richest man in the world spent $130 million to elect Donald Trump.

Now he's being put in charge of a "government efficiency" agency while controlling corporations with billions in government contracts that are also under federal investigations.

See how this works?

“When you woke up yesterday the idea that Pete Hegseth—a philandering morning TV host who has never run anything bigger than a frozen banana stand—could serve as SECDEF was the most preposterous idea in the history of the federal government”
