Speaking of LOLOLOLOLOL Elno, here's some fun reading:

"Starship was doomed from the beginning", Will Lockett writing in "Planet Earth and Beyond":

https://substack.com/@planetearthandbeyond/p-158881347

//

That is the real reason why Starship was doomed to fail from the beginning. Itโ€™s not trying to revolutionise the space industry; if it were, its concept, design, and testing plan would be totally different. Instead, the entire project is optimised to fleece as much money from the US taxpayer as possible, and as such, that is all it will ever do.

My secret hope is that someone dusts off a plan from 1947 and changes the dates

Just send Xi to the meeting and ditch the middleman.

So I was reading a Guardian story written after the visit, which of course was just an innocent thing, and this struck me:

Though Musk has a โ€œtop-secretโ€ clearance within the federal government, lawyers at SpaceX advised him in December not to seek higher levels of security clearances, which would probably be denied due to his foreign ties and personal drug use.

And this asshole is in charge of destroying the country.

And you can and should never question Musk's noble intentions because the world's richest man is already rich enough and doesn't need to get any richer, which is exactly how he became the world's richest man in the first place. And that is just, d'uh, no shit logic right there.

This administration is a national security nightmare. Too bad there aren't people who take their oaths to defend the country and the Constitution seriously.

"If Mr. Musk and his team of cost cutters from the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, want to trim the Pentagon budget in a responsible way"

Ha, ha, DOGE doesn't do 'responsible way'. But since we're not defending the free world any more, who cares? Cut away at the defense department!

Fuck Putin and Ted Cruz.

Hegseth would show Leon anything he wanted to see, war plans, missile codes, tech details, weapons locations, all of it. In a heartbeat. Considering Leon has regular chats with Putin and billions at stake in China this should never happen. The cost cutting ploy is BS. Leon is worried about his factory.

My first thought was that this was a leak of fake news. Rage yam loves that shit. But now I'm not so sure. It seems very specific on a very touchy subject. Also, too, orange piece of shit wants to use our military as much as he wants to use his golden toilet every morning. Chaos morning, noon, and night.

So, is Master of the Universe, Bond Villain Musk bringing along his DOG(gie style) little monsters and their magic Dyson vacuum server with them. After all, isnโ€™t ALL U.S. Government Intel now Muskโ€™s property? Gotta admit, when Frag Me Daddy Greaseball Hegseth surrendered to Russia, he surrendered lock, stock, & barrel. Hegseth has as much hatred & distain for Americaโ€™s security & national defense as he has for LGTQ people. There is no justification for this whatsoever. Just like there is no justification for Musk going to Fort Knox. If there is even one sane General left, they will pass on fake intel to Musk & track it to see where he sold it to. What a fucked up place this country is in.

Speaking of Musk, they launched a rocket at Vandenberg last nite, so I went outside & saw it go thru the sky. Too bad he wasnโ€™t on it.
