nooo, you were doing so well too!

Running a private tyranny (or several of them) is much different than trying to govern (what is theoretically) a democracy.
Republicans: Have a majority in the House
House spending bill: Fails to pass
How could Democrats do this??
See I'm not saying nothing horrible is gonna happen.
I just saying Im not as scared as the doomers.
They're all so fucking hungry for power they're gonna eat each other before we have to worry about eating the rich.
Fingers crossed.
Musk has been positioning himself pretty well to be a single big bad. I'm hoping he can cause enough fracturing and dysfunction to kill Project 2025
Guarantee he hasn’t realized shit. In his mind, it was the best idea in the world when he had it, and now it’s the best idea in the world to walk it back. He’s so brilliant, he was right twice about the same thing.
Whoever wrote this headline hasn’t met a true narcissist.
Not only that but he tweeted something around 100 times that day. Someone got their "special medicine" and went on a bender confident they knew everything. And now they've come down and they're confident they still do but can't admit they were off their gourd for a day. Like a typical narcissist yes.
The guy has basically admitted takes K to not face personal accountability.
He's 2 steps ahead and we're just tripping over each other while wallowing through his feces trying to compete up
I wish actual bad things would happen to musk.
Or even if something good like being able to learn from mistakes. Seems so unlikely.
No shit. Turns out being the world's richest failson is not a super useful skill? Who knew?
Next time I hear that government should be run like a business...
The response is easy...
"That's exactly what Musk thought"
Oh, did someone brief Musk in between ketamine hits?
Sure, if "to brief" is analogous with "to pants".
Shouldn't have run for President then. 🤷
For Former Husband to Canadian Author Justine Musk to realize that they do not have the ability to realize that they can't govern would require self-reflection. Fairly sure, Estranged Father to Vivian Wilson does not have the ability to self-reflect.
Oh, you mean the President of the United States, Elon Musk?
What I don't get is why anyone in power (except maybe Captain Cheeto) actually bothers to listen to him in the first place. It's not like he has any actual authority. Congress is absolutely free to ignore him entirely, and they should
regardless of which side of the aisle they're on.
Never pick a fight with someone who buys ink by the barrel.
Musk is doing the setup for a joke, because back in the day we had "Boehner loses control of his caucus." Now it's Johnson's turn.
FAFO?
