Elon Is Out, and We Should Take the Win As Elon exits the government literally bruised and battered, there is plenty of reason to rejoice

It's hard to celebrate when someone like Elon Musk waltzes into the federal government, wrecks the place, and walks away seemingly with everything he wanted. But did he, though? In the end, Musk left defeated, humiliated, and widely despised. That’s no small thing. We should take the win.

Every year on Memorial Day, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring.

They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died.

France also gave us this land as American soil.

I do understand that Biden’s inner circle covered up his decline. Got it. What I don’t understand is the same journalists and pundits pounding that story are ignoring this psychopath like it’s normal. I accepted Biden was old all along. I can’t accept this lunatic leading us.

Not all Americans are ok with Trump or the GOP asshats.

I am remembering those I served with who died while we were in Iraq and Saudi together.

Please don’t lump us all in one pile.

Senate Democrats want investigation into whether Trump administration helping Musk make Starlink deals Democratic senators are calling for an investigation into whether the Trump administration is clearing hurdles for Starlink, led by Elon Musk, to strike foreign deals.

Musk's Starlink was having a hard time getting permits abroad.

Then Trump slapped tariffs on basically everything we buy from overseasβ€”and suddenly countries negotiating trade deals started giving Starlink sweet deals!

Looks like textbook corruptionβ€”and we're all paying for it.

β€˜RUMP’: Customers upset with missing β€˜T’ in Trump-branded watch that cost $640 A man in Rhode Island bought his wife a Donald Trump-branded watch as a gift, but what they got was a β€œRump” watch due to an unfortunate typo on the watch face.

I can’t stop laughing! Well played China.

I’m learning how to paint SCA scrolls. This one isn’t the best gilding but I’m trying/learning. I do love the goat though!!

The gilded letter has 23.5kt gold (if u don’t use your materials how can you get better?)
