    A fallout between Don Taco and the Ketamine Kid would be beneficial to the public. I’ll believe it when I actually see it. Until they stop doing this empty posturing I’m not going to believe it.

    “The MAGA world is really a bigger and better movement than ever seen before in the history of the Country.” Trump gave a superior smile before replying “What can the crazy extreme radical liberals do?”

    You’re very clever, Tangerine Tyrant, very clever," said the old lady. “But it’s leopards all the way down!”

      Exactly what I thought.

      It’s like watching two chimps knife fight each other. You are pretty much a bad person for watching it … but you can’t just look away.

    I think this is likely just kayfabe, but it would be oh so funny if vindictive prick Donny works himself into a shoot and rescinds those government contracts. It would be even funnier if he reopened those pesky probes into Elon’s business practices.

      I don’t think either man has thick enough skin to allow insults like this to be made public even if they are in on the joke. They don’t see themselves through their own eyes. I’m guessing they only see what they imagine others are seeing.

        This is my take on it too.

        I really don’t think it’s likely that they’re just posturing as a distraction - I don’t think either one of them is that subtle. But even if they are, I think they’re both so thin-skinned that even if they didn’t start out serious, they’re going to end up that way.

      Absolutely. From the moment they came together, I began to look forward to the inevitable day that they would finally turn on each other. It was a predictable as the sun rising tomorrow morning.

      Frankly, Im surprised it took this long. I was predicting 3 weeks at the outside.

      How many times has your country been to the moon by the way?

      For the record a minority of Americans voted for orange hitler, about 23% of the total population.

          We already have the post election surveys, we have all the data we need, we don’t need to wonder anymore. Trump’s second election was the American People’s rejection of Kamala Harris and the continuation of the Biden administration, not an endorsement of Trump.

          The country was already broken, the two fascist parties system was inevitably going to shift far enough right that it becomes a dictatorship, and until people grasp that and stop looking at the fascist-light party to save them, nothing will improve.

        Unfortunately a majority of Americans supported him even if they didnt vote for him.

            If you had the ability to vote for the only other candidate that would’ve resulted in Trump losing and you chose not to, you absolutely supported a Trump victory. Not as much as someone that actively voted for him, but support nonetheless. That is a fact.

            And you are welcome to pull up election and voter data yourself, it’s freely available.

          I can keep going too. How many Internets, flying vehicles, automobiles, and solid-state electronics have your countries invented before the brains of the USA did?

          If you want to call all Americans stupid you’re going to have to ignore a huge amount of contributions to the world’s status quo.

            Sure, and if we’re dragging out historical wins to score points, we can sit here all day trading inventions like baseball cards.

            Automobiles? Germany. Jet engines and the WWW? UK. Radio? Italy (and yes, Tesla gets a nod too). Satellites and the first man in space? Soviet Union. Solid-state theory that made electronics possible? Mostly European physics.

            China gave us the compass, paper, and gunpowder. India gave us the number zero and early surgery. Japan revolutionized consumer electronics and manufacturing efficiency. France had photography and hot air balloons before the Wright brothers ever left the ground.

            Point is: past contributions are global. No one country owns progress. So unless you’re planning to live off 1950s prestige, maybe let’s not pretend history is a scoreboard that settles today’s reality.

      trump got really bent out of shape with the TACO nickname. If he doesn’t follow through with this it will be a prime opportunity to point out yet more TACO evidence.

        It’s method acting.

        Everyone from the lowest LARP’ing ICE agents to the orange faced chief of clowns have been in role for so many years that they all forgot what reality is outside of their theatre of the grotesque.

      I am wondering this too since Elon’s close ties to the government basically wrecked Tesla so are they sort of trying to clean his slate. On the other hand both are man children so it is not impossible that they are fighting over their huge ego.

    Yet he’s still working on making the DOGE cuts permanent, with not a single message about reversing them.
