Yeah, it's disappointing but there are still a lot of science deniers, conspiracy loons out there.

You know the type, failed Grade 6 science class, barely graduated high school and yet still feel comfortable calling medical professionals "morons" and "idiots".

He is mentally unwell. Living in some other dimension, it's certainly not reality. He's also been completely compromised by Putin.

I expected the usual reversal of democratic policies. But it’s starting to become unhinged. I can’t see it continuing like this for much longer. There’s going to be pushback at some point.

Maryland Rep. Jamie Raskin is talking about a nation wide class action law suit against Musk for illegal Treasury data access. This could get interesting.

With all of the liberties being taken by Musk, he must see that the next Democrat president will most likely lock him out completely. Which means an end game of not having to deal with a Democrat president.

Just something I’ve been chewing on in my head.

Everything they are doing is going to end up in the courts is my guess.

They are really just creating tons of market uncertainty. When the wrong people start losing money the blowback will start.

Musk is so arrogant that its very likely that they aren't even covering their tracks very well. When actual smart people are able to dig into what exactly he and his little band of hackers are actually doing, even the richest man in the world wont be able to survive a law suit with 400 million plaintiffs, give or take.

I don’t think that will be the catalyst. I think once powerful republicans net worth starts getting impacted they will start influencing trump. Those are the people he will listen to. He will see them as his peers. I don’t think it will go on like this much longer.

So Trump is proclaiming that Russia should be allowed to take Ukraine. And that China should take Taiwan. Knowing his appreciation for dictators, I wonder if Trump is laying the groundwork to take Canada.

I wouldn’t doubt it. It would be interesting to see what the US population response would be to that.

Likely mostly indifference. Especially among his base of lowly educated ftards.

How are voting Americans going to respond to anything? They are continuously being sprayed with so much noise and distraction and hand waving I'm almost certain the plans to have the masses completely desensitized and apathetic. My guess is they won't act and the ones with any clear motivation to do something are them tikki torch folk. I mean Maga folk, I mean .....Young single American men angry at the world and all they want is the subservient love they're entitled .....I mean Americans.

I digress.

Meanwhile I'm sitting here thinking, boy I sure hope the U.S doesn't plan on taking this country over. I don't really want to fight a continental war against a heavily favored opponent.

He started laying the ground work weeks ago.
