The Trump Presidency, Season 2

Yes he is on Musk’s side. He supports the Billionaire Corp. Politicians are useful puppets until they lose their flavour and are dumped into the river*.

A more interesting and pertinent question might be "Does he realize just how bat shit crazy the cult member are that he's playing with?" ...or possibly "when is the first assassination attempt by a maga idiot coming?".

Wait until they try to dump a number of veteran army snipers off the Va.

Does Musk even know what side he's supposed to be on?

I feel like everyone forgot that years ago, Musk claimed we all live in a simulation.

I am starting to think he just does not care and thinks this is all just The SIMS.

No kidding. If they dump a ton of vets off benefits someone will get shot. It may not be Trump but they'll find a scape goat. And they are a lot less likely to miss.

I'm a little skeptical Mike Johnson will stand up to Trump no matter what he does.... but this would be amusing.

Fuck maybe President Grassley is what we need right now.

He likely does not having lived his entire life in the wealthy delusion. He can buy his through any situation yeah? But he’s actually too intelligent to be cornered in the first place so no worries until it’s too late.

Dear God,

If you really exist... please, don't make me beg. I don't know what is supposed to happen when an elect isn't inaugurated, but it's got to be better than having that ... person serving as President.

For those who want America to lose for their own personal gain, I have no respect.

Musk admitting he has no respect for himself.

It's always projection.

It's honestly baffling more Christians don't realize how sacrilegious this is....

Of course they know. They're in on the grift. Their proximity to power becomes a bragging point that they can leverage into their sales pitch when extorting charity from the flocks they fleece. It's part of that prosperity gospel pyramid scam, do your part to enrich those above you, and maybe you too might move up when they do!

Interesting article on "Musk, Thiel and the shadow of apartheid South Africa" in the Financial Times:

In short, four of Maga’s most influential voices are fiftysomething white men with formative experiences in apartheid South Africa. This probably isn’t a coincidence.

If you’re a libertarian who believes that inequality is natural and lives in fear of race war, you will be drawn towards a certain type of American politics. You certainly won’t want government or institutions to try to intervene against racism. In 1995, a year after the ANC began attempting that in South Africa, Thiel and Sacks, who met at Stanford, published The Diversity Myth in the US. It’s a well-written defence of “western civilisation” against “multiculturalism” (or what the right now calls “woke”), written by two white twentysomethings who are sure racism isn’t the problem. Indeed, they explain: “There are almost no real racists . . . in America’s younger generation.”
