As a patriotic America, if someday the Canadians invade to free us from our fascist overlords I will sign up to work with the Canadians, just like the French resistance worked with the Allies.
Hope this clears things up for you.

The whole white male internet loves the buff white male populist. There were plenty of skeptics outside that demographic.

Either he’s too stupid to figure out that he‘s been wearing a Nazi symbol on his chest all these years or he’s lying about not knowing. Either is disqualifying for a US Senate seat.

Randomly remembering the furor when Carter added solar panels to the White House and how Reagan couldn’t wait to get rid of them.

This is why you don’t let someone zoom from zero to a 6 year term in the US Senate. Between this and Constellis (Blackwater) it should be a big fat no.
If he truly has liberal/left convictions let him prove his mettle by running for a statehouse seat.

It was an unrealistic promise, not a lie!

Facade of White House's East Wing Is Torn Down to Make Way for Trump's
Ballroom
President Trump had pledged that construction wouldn't "interfere with the current building," a promise that seemed unrealistic given the scale of the plans.

man who tried to slash social security spending promises communism is coming if you just ignore the enormous job losses this year due to the technology he's developing for private profit

Peter Diamandis tweets: "800,000 layoffs in 2025. 10,000 in September alone tied to AI. Jobs are disappearing fast. But here’s the truth no one wants to say: It’s the start of a new gold rush... for those who learn how to build with the machines, not fight them."

Elon Musk replies: "Working will be optional in the future.

There will be universal high income."

I mean this is viscerally upsetting because it's really genuinely him treating the white house like it's his own personal property; he's the king and it's his palace. No other president ever thought like this, even if they were a fucking horrible person, because it goes against our founding creed

I'm not a West Wing obsessed lib or anything but the more I see pictures of this the more fucked up I think it is. It's like he cut off one of the hands of the Lincoln memorial with an angle grinder so he could add a big gun to it.
