Now fire the drunk in the pentagon

Have you seen Newsweek? It’s basically just summaries of Reddit self posts.

If some man is sucking Trump’s dick and gets to be in his orbit as an “advisor” and considered for political appointments, than yes that would be a sexual favor.

Are you really coming out in favor of sexual favors as a form of bribery?

Did you read the news though? She very, very likely sucked Trump’s dick.

Maybe it’s time for the US govt to start paying high enough wages to recruit tech talent.

Laura Loomer is kind of mad because she sucked the wrong dick for influence. Should’ve been sucking Elon’s instead.

It’s good, prefer lime and pamplemousse

I think the original sin was that democrats after Reagan felt they needed to court big business and so Bill Clinton passed NAFTA. NAFTA basically gutted the middle class and accelerated the erosion of union power, which had been the base of democratic power as well. So, the Republican Party now has both the ultra wealthy and the white working poor. This is pretty remarkable given that their interests do not align at all.

Elon Musk wouldn’t be a literal strongman, if only because he doesn’t officially run a country. Though he does behave similarly in running his companies. Strongman might be the wrong word. Narcissist might be better. I think with those types, Trump can find himself needing to defer to bigger narcissists than himself.

Fight, fight, fight

That’s increasingly a not very nuanced or serious stance to hold given that actual journalists and columnists do publish on substack, especially those that are trying to break away from billionaire controlled “news sources” with owners that are actually interfering in editorial and reporting decisions. Do you remove all op-eds from your “news sources”? If not, you’re saying billionaire-controlled “news sources” are legitimate, but not independent journalists and columnists with actual bona fides, including having been part of establishment media or worked in government previously. The internet has destroyed journalism, seems wrong to tune out those who are trying to put it together again.

Strong man has a specific meaning in politics, it doesn’t mean they are strong.

So, op-eds from main stream media are allowed, but journalists publishing their work through substack is not allowed. So, only the establishment is allowed to have their voices heard. Got it. Quite the hill to die on @jordanlund

This DEI hire doesn’t know the meaning of hard work

“Abandon Harris” movement, you mean half of Lemmy? Where are you clowns now?

Trump seems to be easily dominated by other strongmen. It’s possible Trump is afraid of Elon Musk and won’t have the confidence to stand up to him, nor the financial means.

Need to see a Venn diagram of the commonalities between ISIS and republicans.

I have my issues with Wikipedia, and he’s not wrong about the concentration of power amongst editors. However, fuck Elon Musk. He’s just mad that he can’t control Wikipedia himself.

I’ll worry about Patagonia’s “dark money” operation after I worry about Elon Musk’s $250 million purchase of the presidency, including his scheme to buy votes. If shopping at Patagonia means I’m bankrolling democrats, I’d say it’s more incentive to shop at Patagonia. I’ll take the moral high ground after we’ve eliminated the worst offenders, first.
