Surely, though, you didn't look at Musk wielding the chainsaw without thinking a good lobotomy session was in order...

Right now it seems more like cooking a frog in a very bad microwave, with temperatures all over the place.

Not sure whether to laugh...or cry

Might be why Putin is so fast to respond to any peaceful opposition...don't let any protests, peaceful included, approach 3.5% Fortunately the US still has enough rights and freedoms in place...for now

I wouldn't hold my breath waiting to get to vote if it happened. Would even current Americans get an honest election to vote in if the currently attempted trajectory gets enough footing? If Trump/MAGA/extreme right is stopped, it has to come from them, from the right, and maybe slightly left of centre. Further left will just add fuel for those trying to establish a coup from within.

Still claiming these as "just waves", Musk recently and Bannon (again) now. There does seem to me some resistance coming from the right, even the far right (Bardella of France cancelling his CPAC speech due to Bannon's gesture)in this case. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cx2glydm3gmo "Bannon denied the Nazi comparison and called the gesture a "wave", saying it was the "exact same wave" he did on stage at a speech seven years ago in France to Bardella's party." Kind of begs the question: Why are you using an "exact same wave" and remembering using it 7 years ago? And why did you design it, exactly, to bring the Nazi salute to mind?

Bees individually or consciousness of say a hive or swarm? I think you could say yes to either depending on a number of definitions, but maybe not always prove it.

It seems like some of the Republican side, while clinging to the belief Trump may still have a shirt or two up his ass where they can't see them...are at least starting to admit the Emperor has no visible sign of clothing.

...not to mention how much of the rest of the wealth is facilitated by the idiot part.

Being a genius doesn't equate to having good morals, or confer a right to subjugate others. Elon may very well be a genius. Trump may be a genius using a general definition of genius (1% of the population? IQ of 140? I suspect a number on this Forum would meet tha criterion). Doesn't mean much when they espouse opinions that are not just unhelpful to the general population but also often contradictory (other than perhaps pointing to them being often more malicious than wrong in thinking) At any rate these two seem more like idiot savants than "pure" genius.

In his defence, he was much less of an obvious Ahole and Nazi the further back you go in time.

Inflation was one of the things Trump claimed he would fix on day one... Trump acknowledges ‘inflation is back’ but blames Biden https://www.cnn.com/2025/02/19/economy/trump-inflation-is-back/index.html Sometime in year 4 of his present term I expect he might, possibly, stop blaming Biden...but don't hold your breath...

+1...but do you really expect them to figure it out? What with Biden being at fault for the upcoming inflation?

Absolutely. I'm going to lower your taxes and eliminate any rules and regulations holding you back. By the way, which multi billionaire are you anyway? I don't see any Externet on the list...

For a sufficiently small country with a population motivated more altruistically than typical, it can work to some level for a limited period of time. Capitalism can last longer, as it recognizes the motivations and merits of self interest. Striking a balance is best, though not easy to implement and maintain to work well for everyone.

To appease and honour Trump, Canadian maps will rename the largest Great Lake after the Trump Administration... Lake Inferior Do it Google!

Still not Lake New York...I guess Trump is waiting to see if Ontario becomes part of the US...

Trump's negotiation Team: Hegseth:"So we'll agree to keep Ukraine out of Nato...if Putin agrees to keep all the land he stole..."

The Canaries might not be able to sustain them (The Canaries were actually named after dogs...but even if a just a small portion of the 50,000 were actual illegal aliens they'd have the canine population there devoured within a week!) Not saying the new administration wouldn't find merit in your plan.

C'mon folks, it will be "best ever" by any reasonable measure. Maybe not by any explicitly defined measure (that would tend toward scientific, or at least integrity, and who wants that?), but certainly by any reasonable one. He's already done more in a week than Biden managed in 4 years, if JD Vance is to be believed, and I see no reasonable reason to doubt him. And of course the avian flew, what else are birds expected to do? Reminds me Trump hasn't threatened the Canary Islands yet, but there's always next week. (Do it Trump...you know you want to...send Barron...it will be fun for him)

More likely they'll start to realize he's not really on their side though, How many voted for him thinking he shared their values? (not suggesting I know) I mean how many actually believed "their eating the dogs!" I thought he had lost it, both the election and possibly his mind at that point...but no...

Bizarre how many Spanish speaking people voted for him... They should build a bridge over The White House so he'll feel more at home...

It's certainly an oversimplified backward step, notwithstanding some of the overreaching claims of being scientific in the name of "progress" that this now purports to put straight. Unfortunate especially for some individuals, many whom are especially vulnerable.

I'm just so relieved that I can wake up tomorrow knowing Putin's Great Unpatriotic War against Ukraine will be over...or maybe it will take the full 24 hours...but we know we can count on Trump to keep his promises. Now off to put all my investments in his shitcoins...because what could possibly go wrong?

(Do we tell him?) just kidding!
