House of cards. He’s the mean 🃏 joker.

Did not seem amusing to me at all. It all sounded too close to the truth to be funny, and I always thought I had a sense of humor. Maybe it’s because I am Canadian and my funny bone has been taking a bunch of downright abuse lately. If it looks like a duck……

Today's reference to "The Wizard of Oz:"

"Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain! The great and powerful Oz has spoken!"

The emperor with no clothes is so apt for the Republican Party as a whole pretending any of this is normal

They've been doing that since Reagan declared the "trickle on effect" We've been trickled on ever since.

Thanks for this very informative post. Now I hate him even more! Such an ignorant tyrannical child inflicting pain and suffering on millions of people while breaking many laws. He deserves to be in prison with his bestie for a cell mate.

Thanks for reading! Elon and Donald in prison together as cell mates would be a good sitcom!

A real-life House of Cards.

At times like this I wish the tv series hadn't imploded...

Thanks! I can't help but notice how many of Elon's promises have never come true and people still invest. He's such a liar about everything his companies can do, and he does these big press events to inflate his stock prices and then just hopes everyone forgets the promises he claimed were imminent.

I have been saying this for months! He is not the richest man. His worth calculation is based on a bunch of overvalued troubled companies. It is a House of Cards. No wealthy person runs around acting like this. He’s afraid that if he stops moving it will all come crumbling down. Many of his companies were being investigated by our govt agencies. I’m sure he’s erased all that via DOGE. This latest move with the Twitter purchase is a sham transaction, an attempt to prop up the value of Twitter. That’s not how this works. That’s not how any of this works! He must be high if he thinks that’s gonna work. Oh that’s right, he is high. We must keep up the pressure on Musk and Tesla. He’s not smarter than us.

And, like his Toxic Orange boss-puppet, every time a SpaceX rocket explodes, he declares it a smashing success.

The good news for Elon is that the administration favors transitioning people from low productivity government jobs into higher productivity jobs like coal mining ⛏️

That’s what happens when you hang with Trumpy. His hands have so much blood on them and he passes this on to his people. The opposite of success is failure.

Fortunately Trump is apparently circulating rumors in the news that Elon Musk won't be in the government much longer. I'm sure Musk will find out on Twitter because Trump isn't manly enough to fire people in person.
