As Elmo just announced he's forming his very own political party, it's obvious he's no longer the Unelected Shadow Co-president Elmo the Oligarch (USCEO). Now, he is, of course, still an oligarch. But, it looks like he was outbid for the attention of the sociopath-in-chief by Jeff Bezos, Peter Thiel, and who knows what other oligarchs.
I am, however, surprised that Elmo chose as bland a name as the "America Party" for his new investment. But, I'm guessing some marketing weasel told him that calling it the "X Party" wasn't going to make it marketable. And, while calling it the Scorned Oligarch Party (SOP) would have been truthful, that name is even less marketable.
Anyway, Elmo's new third party thingy could turn out to be interesting. Now, I don't see Elmo's party ever attracting more than a handful of discontented voters. After all, 'Mericans are far to apathetic, and tribal, for that to ever have any realistic chance of happening. But, I don't believe forming a real political party is Elmo's true objective. I suspect this is all just a cover story for an attempt to buy off a few members of the House of Representatives, and maybe even a senator, or two. I mean, seriously, are there any Republicult™ members of congress who aren't in it for the money? Any at all? And, Elmo still has plenty of money, even if he didn't want to pay the sociopath-in-chief's asking price for NASA.
I write this because gaining control of just a handful of Republicult™ members of congress would give Elmo all the leverage he needs to take over NASA, and to run the show in Washington, D.C. again.
Let the games continue!
