Musk's Junta Establishes Him as Head of Government Imagining how we'd cover overseas what's happening to the U.S. right now

Having watched with growing alarm the developments of the last 24 and 36 hours in Washington, I thought I’d take a stab at how the US media would cover this story if it was happening in a foreign country. Here’s that story that should be written this weekend: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/musk-s-jun...

Why should we care?? Why are you click baiting an old lady with a walker a few weeks after falling and breaking her hip? Tammy Duckworth is 56 in a wheelchair. Is that news too?

For about ten years I've thought about what a Tom Waits TV Christmas special produced in the early 80s would have been like. It's almost real to me. The set is a Depression-era shack he built and a stream of celebrity hobos keep knocking on the door and Tom goes "I wOnDEr WHo tHaT cOuLd bE"

Donald Trump’s 2024 Christmas Day Message to America ended by referring in all caps to his critics, foreign and domestic, and writing:

“MAY THEY ROT IN
HELL. AGAIN, MERRY CHRISTMAS!”

The man who wrote those words will take (and thus defile) the Oath of Office as President on January 20, 2025.

Here’s a story I bet you didn’t know: After Dylan dropped out of the University of Minnesota, he came back a minor celebrity with his suit pockets stuffed with hundred dollar bills, and told his former frat brothers “look at me now” - as told by my uncle Richie, who knew him since they were kids.
