Bleak, grey days

Trump is Musk's beard. Trump got what he wanted: legal problems gone, money, and a chance to get even. Musk got what he wanted: Presidential power. Vance just disappeared. Maybe he got what he wanted.

I don't enjoy being harassed every damn day with what I know to be sick, twisted efforts by Repubs to control us like we are slaves. It was bad enough that all those brainless idiots voted for Trump. Now, we have to contend with "President Musk."

I'd refer to President Musk every chance I got, if I were a reporter. It is a poke at the dope. That will piss him off like nobody's business. Especially with headlines: "President Musk is visiting the White House."

Since tRump has already said on the record that he's gonna let Bob handle the nation's health matters, I can easily see where he is probably willing to just let President Musk run things. tRump is impressed with money. Musk has some. Being President is a pressure cooker of boring details, something tRump isn't good at. Better to farm the task out.

I feel bad for everyone, but all you can do is make a plan and try to prevail. I will boycott anything associated with President Musk and Chief Felon tRump. I can't afford a Tesla car, anyway. Could get a Tesla power wall, but won't be doing that. That's about all I can do, except support Dems and try to keep up.

tRump will utterly ruin our country. Thanks, you bigoted, slack jawed clowns. You voted for him, you got what you wanted, now figure out how you are going to feed your family and plan for retirement. There won't be anything left for anyone but the top 1%. And President Musk, and tRump...

I wonder how much Musk paid Trump to get the POTUS job?

Come one month from today, Sauron's orcs will belch forth from their maggaty [sic] lairs to move fast and break things.
