Musk appears ready to run the government like he runs Twitter, which is to say right into the ground.

Musky smells.

You'd think you could at least enumerate the "Unknowns." Like as a basic condition of being taken seriously.

But this is Elon Musk and his baffling obsession with monkeys. So that ship sailed, like a rickety uhaul of canvassers headed to Mars.

Ta, Rebecca. The reason my morning greeting was late was because it took a whole fucking HOUR for *that* website to send me a confirmation email so I could disable my account. I did it, and of course I'm @zyxomma on bluesky, which, like beloved husband Meccalopolis, I pronounce BLOOskee.

Huh...if GWB hadn't cut taxes 3 times mostly for the very wealthy, while starting 2 unpaid for wars, and collapsing the world economy, we wouldn't be paying $659 billion in interest payments. Maybe we could claw some of those tax free "loans" to billionaires back, and stop paying so much interest on our debt? Just a thought!

Yeah, let's crack down on wasted tax dollars by... *checks notes* ...creating a completely new department with two heads.

How many nanoseconds will this last? Two rich narcissists, relegated to little more than clerks in an outbuilding, required to get the approval of their "co-director" on every single decision.

Chump didn't know what to do with you, so he put you in right field.

Also paying interest on all the tax cuts that we've given to very wealthy fuck heads for the past 44 years. Wonder how we could get some of that back?
