[Why the "President Elon Musk" mockery doesn't seem to bother Donald Trump]

The writer of this long article offers an explanation for the TSS's behavior that would have never crossed my mind. So, if you have an interest in 'Merican politics and human behavior, or in 'Merican politics and the TSS's and USCEO's behavior, you may not regret having taken the time to read this:

Why the "President Elon Musk" mockery doesn't seem to bother Donald Trump

As per this article:

"Trump ... : It's way more fun to be the facsimile than the real thing. He barely showed up at the office in his first term, and clearly hated every minute of actual work. Whether they've explicitly discussed it or not, it appears he and Musk have a deal: One will do the annoying dirty work of illegally smashing up the federal bureaucracy, while the other pretends to be a president for the cameras and fanfare. Trump gets to sign papers and get his picture taken. He gets to do fun reality-TV villain stuff, like threatening tariffs but mostly not enacting them, because that would create consequences he doesn't want to deal with. As with being a fake businessman on "The Apprentice," being a fake president is much better than the real thing. He gets all the ego-fluffing and attention, while not having to think about stuff, much less do any work."

Now, while I'm not willing to abandon my super simple FOLLOW THE MONEY theory yet, I'm not going to dismiss this writer's alternate theory out of hand, as she appears to have put some serious thought into it.

GigSlave Goes Public With $84 Billion Valuation

I'm appalled that ... that this appears to be such a great investment opportunity. So much so, in fact, that I'm seriously considering acquiring a few hundred shares of GigSlave myself. Now, I had been hoarding cash in expectation of exploiting the next stock market crash. But, this looks to me like an opportunity that's just too good to pass up, in spite of my longtime, proven investment strategy.

[Kid Rock cuts Nashville performance short, storms off stage after audience won't clap]

To me, this guy is a poser of no importance to anyone but himself. But, he did make me smile this afternoon when I read this:

Kid Rock cuts Nashville performance short, storms off stage after audience won't clap

So, maybe his next appearance will be with that other has-been,Ted Nugent. That professional asshole's "bankability" is so low he's probably not even be on the D List anymore. After all, he didn't perform at the TSS's 2025 inauguration festivities.

Anyway, as an added bonus, the article made me smile a second time in remembrance of the 15 minutes of fame I had almost secured back in the day, when I told family and friends I occasionally had lunch with one of Bon Jovi's uncles. In truth, my fame didn't even last an entire 15 minutes after I told them, "No, I'm not going to impose on the guy by asking him to get his nephew's autograph for you." And, such I learned is the fleeting nature of fame.

The new DNC chair was giving a speech about how there are good billionaires, so I don't really think they're going to be focusing on the parts of the economy that help working people...

Please provide a link to a quotation from Ken Martin about these "good billionaires," if it is your intention to initiate a discussion about his speech.

I'm having trouble finding the full speech, but here's the quote in question.

Thanks for posting the link.

Now then, as I am not anyone's stenographer, I'm paraphrasing when I write that I heard Ken Martin publicly say that there are good billionaires out there who share the Democratic Party's values, and the party is willing to accept their money.

I, personally, have no reason to not accept Ken Martin's statement at face value. For what it's worth, I am not a member of the Democratic Party. Therefore, "I have no skin in the game."

It's an onion article, for now.

You may find it of interest that Chai Komanduri, @chaikomanduri.bsky.social, is of the same opinion. That's where I first saw the article from "The Onion."

Here's the specific link:    https://bsky.app/profile/chaikomanduri.bsky.social/post/3lhcv52uw2k2k

I thanked him for bringing it to my attention.

[What is Georgia Doing to Prevent School Shootings?]

This state government "solution" amounts to no more than paying lip service to the solving of a deadly serious problem. It does little more than spread around some free money for their good ol' boys to spend:
 
What is Georgia Doing to Prevent School Shootings?

I'm not encouraging anyone to bother reading this article, as this Georgia bill's true purpose appears to be summed up in the following sentence: "Every public school in Georgia would get $68,000 to spend as local school officials see fit." And, I have no doubt the majority of Georgia's politicians already have their "thoughts and prayers" within easy reach for immediate use after their state's next mass school shooting.

It's hard for me to accept that the majority of 'Mericans find mass school shootings to be an acceptable way to live their lives. But then again, these mass school shootings continue to happen for the very same reasons we now have the treasonous shit stain (TSS) back in the Oval Office.

[Elon Musk Offers Self $10 Billion Federal Buyout]

Actually, this one is an article on "The Onion."

[NIH chops support for some medical research costs]

Reading this article got me thinking:

NIH chops support for some medical research costs

Is there any R&D money in the NIH budget for future spinal column replacement surgery? I mean, given the critical shortage of functional spines among the Disloyal Opposition Party's kleptocracy, that alone should be reason enough to declare a national medical emergency. (I am, of course, referring to their party's numerous, spineless, opportunistic, elected officials.)

Now, I know lumbar disk replacement is already a thing, but what about the future availability of completely artificial spinal columns for surgical implantation? I write this because I don't believe enough suitable spinal columns for transplants can be obtained from human donor cadavers to ever fulfill the actual need. Therefore, there should be R&D money put into cloning spinal columns, and 3D printing spinal columns as well.

I guess I'm just going to have to send another round of emails to my two (2) Disloyal Opposition Party elected officials in congress, to bring this specific issue to their attention. And, I think I'm going to rather enjoy writing these particular emails.

['It's horrible': Hooters plots British 'breastaurant' expansion via Newcastle]

I learned a new word this morning.

'It's horrible': Hooters plots British 'breastaurant' expansion via Newcastle

Having never heard the word before, out of curiosity, I googled "breastaurant" to see if it was a documented and recognized part of the 'Merican vocabulary. Now, I did not find any dictionary entries, but I did find one on Wikipedia. My biggest surprise, however, was seeing a map appear as part of my search results that clearly marked five (5) "breastaurants" within a few minutes drive of my house.

I really did need a good laugh this morning.

[Trump to create religious office in White House, target 'anti-Christian bias']

This is something I sincerely hope the Resistance 2.0 quickly organizes around, and rises up against:

Trump to create religious office in White House, target 'anti-Christian bias'

I, and I believe most of you here, want freedom from their hypocritical religion, not a Christofascist theocracy running this country's government. (Obviously, I wouldn't be here on this forum if I did.)

This intrusion on my life makes my blood boil. Needless to say, my elected representatives will be receiving some of my more blunt emails concerning this particular outrage.

[New Time Cover Shows Elon Musk Sitting Behind Trump's Resolute Desk]

I hope I'm wrong, but I don't believe even this MSM news will outrage someone as greedy as the TSS enough for him to order the USCEO to hit the road:

New Time Cover Shows Elon Musk Sitting Behind Trump's Resolute Desk

For what it's worth, I think we're going to have to get much, much closer to the 2026 midterm elections, and their probable bad polling numbers for the Disloyal Opposition Party, before the TSS's sense of self-preservation outweighs his massive greed. Again, I hope I'm wrong about this.
