Tesla shareholders decided this was a trillion dollar man

This would be called Socialism and "buying votes" if a Democrat does this. But when Trump does it? Just good ol' populism.

The Trump administration is bad for tourism, pt. 2

Just watched a screening of the first two episodes of Pluribus - pretty captivating but my god, the conspiracy theorists who obsess over mRNA and chemtrails are gonna go nuts

The Trump administration is bad for travel. It would be nice if business execs and thought leaders in the tourism industry could acknowledge this simple truth.

The midterms are first and foremost about stopping Trump's authoritarian takeover, but it's also about gaining the power to haul Elon's ass in front of Congress and holding him accountable.

This is a defibrillator before the AI bubble bursts. And then we bail out big tech.

Corporate America overwhelmingly threw their support behind this. They shall never be allowed to forget that.

A mere hour later:

Exactly who is it that needs to tone down the extreme rhetoric?

Trump's entire focus for the next 12 months will be:
1. Suppressing voting access
2. Attacking integrity of elections
3. Gilded ballroom construction

Someday there will be a reckoning for the serial killings that the US government is engaged in on the oceans. Another admin should not refuse to extradite indicted officials to Intl Criminal Courts and senior military officers “just following orders” should not be exempted.

if you think the problem is that the democratic party is too extreme rather than our current media environment privileges right wing bull shit then you have no real business discussing politics in public

Honestly would love a simple follow up question of "what's her full and complete name?" next time he mentions AOC because I don't believe he has any idea.

I'm not mad. Please don't tell the papers that I'm mad.

We need to make sure that every deplorable groyper shithead who staffs the current White House is blacklisted from respectable society for the rest of their life, if we're lucky enough to get out of this.

at this point it's nearly impossible to figure out who is actually stupid vs who is pretending to be stupid vs who used to be pretending to be stupid but did it for so long they became actually stupid

I will never forgive the people who allowed Trump 2.0 to happen.

Terminally online MAGA will spend the coming days having a big old laugh about owning the libs with this, but independent normies find this absolutely repulsive.

"no more court cases, no more anything"

Considering that for weeks Trump has been cracking jokes about fishermen avoiding the waters, it makes you wonder if Trump knew they struck and killed fishermen and just thought it was all one big joke anyway.

George Santos was somewhat of a “rogue,” but there are many rogues throughout our Country that aren’t forced to serve seven years in prison. I started to think about George when the subject of Democrat Senator Richard “Da Nang Dick” Blumenthal came up again. As everyone remembers, “Da Nang” stated for almost twenty years that he was a proud Vietnam Veteran, having endured the worst of the War, watching the Wounded and Dead as he raced up the hills and down the valleys, blood streaming from his face. He was “a Great Hero,” he would leak to any and all who would listen — And then it happened! He was a COMPLETE AND TOTAL FRAUD. He never went to Vietnam, he never saw Vietnam, he never experienced the Battles there, or anywhere else. His War Hero status, and even minimal service in our Military, was totally and completely MADE UP. This is far worse than what George Santos did, and at least Santos had the Courage, Conviction, and Intelligence to ALWAYS VOTE REPUBLICAN! George has been in solitary confinement for long stretches of time and, by all accounts, has been horribly mistreated. Therefore, I just signed a Commutation, releasing George Santos from prison, IMMEDIATELY. Good luck George, have a great life!

I know he's done this dozens of times with his other pardons and commutations, but it should still be absolutely shocking and alarming to us all that the commander-in-chief is nakedly saying he will absolve you of your crimes as long as you vote the right way and support him politically.

Fraudsters and scammers about to be in vogue

If you're an elected official or public figure who wants to go viral or make the news but aren't willing to ever speak or act with conviction, you will always be disappointed with your publicity outcomes.

Some of the people in this story have actual influence impacting millions of lives right now. They may have been nothing more than an internet shitposter a year ago. Now they contribute to a sadistic and destructive government hellbent on torment, brutalization and corruption.

If we're lucky enough to overcome this authoritarian takeover, we need to expel these deplorables from civic society forever.

This right here is one of the best summations of why this admin functions the way it does:

‘Car Brain’ Is Making the US Unhealthy and Dangerous. EVs Won’t Fix It. A trio of new books argue that we need to confront the full range of costs that car-based living has imposed on our cities, our health and our society.

"Some blame should also fall on journalists who spend far more time dwelling on violent crime than car crashes, even though an American is roughly twice as likely to die as a road fatality than as a murder victim."
