2. Musk speaks the same language as Trump: Gibberish.

Musk is spewing a stream of nonsensical babble.

God help us. This is actually very frightening.

4. MSNBC cut to the Oval Office with Musk and Trump and one of Musk's small children.

Trump said "We need to look at the Judges."

Musk talking a circle of bullishit. You need to see it to believe it.
It is very scary and it is clear that Musk is controlling Trump.

...there's nothing funny about any of this. The irony of this unelected prick standing up talking about judges who were put into office with the advice and consent of the Senate is incredulous.

I wonder if people in this country have ever hear of the Gestapo of the Stasi? What the hell do people think an FBI and DOJ full of loyalists are going to be?

Musk lecturing us on the meaning of democracy while wearing a stupid cap with his kid X in front of him. Meanwhile, TSF is glaring at Musk for stealing his thunder. Musk claiming full transparency. This is ridiculous. Now Musk’s kid is picking his nose, to the displeasure of TSF.

The blowback is already starting with the USAID freeze. The more they gash out, the more the regular people will see it and MAGA will sure as hell wake up when their culling affects them personally.

But I fear you're overly optimistic. MAGA is on board for the spite. Spite is when you hurt yourself to hurt another.

All the "regular people" I know voted against that MFer.

16. There are a lot of Americans who are regular people

who don't vote. Millions.

I don't think I'm overly optimistic. I look at the odds. What are the chances that this blitzkrieg stunt in the first 3 weeks of a four year term can be sustained? Low.

What are the odds that there will be internal chaos between Chump/Musk/GOP/Secret Puppet Masters? High.

What are the odds that a recession, inflation, severe impact upon social services and response to disasters are NOT going to make him a dead man walking? Low.

What would have happened if Obama dared to bring in someone like oh, LeBron James into the Oval office (with his kid) to discuss American Democracy and policy?
