Maybe we should be grateful then. Trump has managed to get himself elected twice, but Musk is totally incapable.

It is really a fascinating pair. I have not worked out in my head how Trump can tolerate sharing the spotlight with a man half his age, who people other than himself say is a genius, who is 70 times as wealthy as him. He outclasses Trump in every metric. Trump started up a social media...

You are talking about the actual henchmen? They want to be in the room where it happened. It's weird. I've talked about it before, but to catch up. Rudy Giuliani has probably always essentially been the guy we see now. But in the right circumstances he was a hero laywer that took down the...

When you are in charge of a country and people who don't like you, but aren't fighting you, are working for your country, that is a win.

Sphincter say what?

Luthan Rael would said this was good.

I think it is the kind of argument you might have to go to South Africa to get. "Some of my best friends are black" is a lot better than this. This is "Racist? Preposterous. I love being served by lesser men".

Oh, that makes sense. If he has gotten along well in the past with brown people that were lower class, it is preposterous to believe that he'd act intentionally to keep brown people being lower class.

The people getting yelled at at their own town halls will not have a use campaign money.

https://www.cnn.com/2025/03/20/politics/angry-town-halls-lawmakers-clash/index.html I've been seeing things like this for a couple weeks now. As Trump continues down the path he is on, GOP Congressmen will have to continue down this path. I believe the bulk of the Republicans in Congress...

Trump is racist. He's an old white guy that has always believed white people were on top because they try harder or because they have a culture more conducive to success. He sees any check or correction of that as cheating. But just like a bunch of other stuff lately, there is no indication...

I just saw it last weekend too. I generally agree here. It has always been strange to me to see the difference between a Disney movie and its straight-to-video sequel. What is it that makes it so much weaker? Weren't the same or similar people trying as hard? This one went to theaters only...

I really doubt it is actually a step clearing the way to reintroduce segregation. If Biden were still President, I would say segregated facilities are such old news that it isn't worth explicitly mentioning in a contract anymore. Why keep mentioning it forever? But Biden isn't President...

I don't think it is actually true, but comments on a meme suggested that the reason Elon is doing all of this is to grab the other demographic for EVs. Liberals will dump his EVs for other EVs and Conservatives will come get his and the planet wins.

The parties are organizations whose job is to win elections. The GOP is enjoying its success right now. The DNC is think-tanking and analyzing statistics. They will look for an exciting candidate to get behind in 2028 and they will adjust their platform as they deem necessary to win more...

They have been in use for a decade.

It may be that someone at the top is driving it and it may be that this is how someone further down the chain interprets a general order to root out DEI stuff in their department. When you tell people to do something dumb, people tend to do something dumb.
