I have a cousin who works in state Gov in Austin (not political, but adjacent) and he says the story in Texas Republican circles is more of a concern about Gina and not Talarico.

They think his "Obama-like aspirations" will send him off to bigger and better rather quickly... but she has the skills and connections to change Texas politics forever.

And her 1st transition pick is a conservative ally in Education. He reports that is not an accident.

TALES FROM THE RECORD STORE

I busted a guy altering price stickers today. He came to the counter with 5 or 6 new sealed LPs and every one was altered, it was blatantly obvious. I didn't outright accuse the guy, I told him the person before him must have made the changes and then put them back on the shelves. I took the LPs and put them behind the counter and said I'm gonna have to change them back to their original prices. He didn't complain or deny anything, he just said OK. He then went back to the shelves, found 4 more LPs and paid for those.

The last time someone tried something like that was about 30 years ago. The thing that really sucks is the guy is a regular, he routinely drops 3 figures each visit. Now that he's displayed his true nature, I don't care if he ever returns.

Like January 6th I imagine there are tons of extemporaneous evidence from the time DOGE was active just from the daily reporting.

That could be one of the downsides of "flooding the zone with shit", if you calmy list every expulsion as it happened and present it to a court . . .

Nationalize Starlink, nationalize SpaceX, drain his piggy bank, then put him in a supermax prison.

the guy with the ears at NASA seems like he's at least half-ass competent. NASA has made use of former nazi scientists before.

All these videos about Mississippi are healing my soul but this one almost made me throw up I was laugh-screaming the entire time 💀

Wait, he got his Dana Whites mixed up and announced he was hiring the wrong one? Oh please never stop failing, President Pedo.

“Jail, or Deport Elon Musk? That is a Stumper!”

Apparently NOT,K because spineless bowl of oatmeal Hakeem Jeffries still controls the agenda. Trump was right I guess: he or any of his other cronies could literally murder someone in broad daylight in Fifth Avenue, and… not face any recriminations because Hakeem won’t lose any votes.

We don’t “do” jail for powerful people in America. It would be uncivil to our colleagues across the aisle and it won’t lower the sacrosanct price of gas and eggs. People die under Republican policies and the feckless Beltway creatures just do the Jeremy Clarkson “Oh no, anyway” meme in a strongly-worded letter.

I’ve known several high-profile politicians who died in prison.

Jail or deport Feculent Skum? That's the ultimate "Why not both?" question.

Fatberg wants to send US citizens to CECOT in El Salvador. Skum wants to be the first person on Mars. Its the perfect win-win situation.

Deport him TO a jail?

Whatever we do, Lonnie Schmuck poses a significant flight risk, so maybe freeze assets until he squeals, then keep freezing

As far as confinement goes, I bet there's a deal on a retired-and-refurbished bathyscaphe to be found. Especially after all the research cuts. Out of the way!

Other than a few billion in cash, what assets is he going to take? Most of his "money" is in shares of Tesla and Space-X. The main assets of both companies are in the US and can't be moved over seas.

He could be deported to a third world country prison system like Jabba has done to immigrants. At least Musk will get due process first.

We need Waymo to send fleets of self-driving taxis to all major Texas cities pronto, so that asshole has a lot of competition.

Musk directed DOGE to destroy USAid for good because the latter had opened an investigation into Star Link's throttling Ukraine's service at the beginning of the war.

USAid paid Musk millions for Ukraine's use as an, you know, an aid package.

At most USAid could have maybe fined Star Link the amount of the contract for breach of service.

But Musk felt that an estimated 40 million deaths in 5 years small price to cover his ass . . .

The one time I would support ICE’s cruel deportations to random prisons abroad.

the one around here quickly took on a salt air "patina" of brown, is nao wrapped in white

Bagels of Doom's avatar

Even the ones here in the desert have been wrapped almost from day one, and most of those wraps were some kind of ad.

Saddest thing on four wheels ever.

Well, there you go!

Put him in jail, then deport the jail.

Can't we just take his jail and send it to Mars? Oxygen optional.

LOL. Wonket hive mind.
