One wonders what the fuck Elon is "putting [it] on the line"? Maybe his $400 billion or so? Nah. It's just FFOTUS's lack of vocabulary and desire to gin up the victim card.

Please let us know, Mr. President, if there are any other products you want us to buy or companies you want us to invest in that would be financially beneficial to you or your cronies. Jesus Christ.
making the “trans trap” into law, ie declaring that a trans person is not just committing fraud but in themselves constitute a deception, is basically the reverse of making the “gay panic” defense (not what kids call gay panic, ie when you panic bc there’s a hot person and oh no turns out you’re gay, the one where a gay person exists and might be flirting or standing close or just in the same line for the bathroom so a dude murders them and then claims self defense because the gay person was an existential threat) inadmissible. it opens the door to “found out she was a HE and killed her” as a recognized justification for homicide. just great.
And don't forget that in the years gone by, Trump has bitched about EVs and pledged to support gasoline and diesel powered vehicles, claiming that EVs would cost American auto workers their jobs. He needs to make up his tiny mind.
I honestly thought we’d have a few months before all the shit Krasnov was doing would have a real impact on people’s lives. I figured the markets were resilient enough that most people wouldn’t feel it until 5-6 months into his term.
But no, he’s managed to make everything suck right out of the gate.
I know right? I had six months of decent stock gains on my radar before we went terminal. We cant make trains run on time, but Putin has got a top notch crew of world destroyers, and they are worth their weight in crypto. USA! USA!
Skum has done severe reputational damage to TSLA. The stock value has been halved, but is still 10x too high based on p/e measure. Stick a fork in him.
One aspect of severe reputational damage is that it makes insurance companies nervous. Watch Skum associated companies lose their insurance coverage.
I need some love sent this way. I had a call with my mom, who was being her most annoying last night. She's started this tic where no sentence ends, but she just says "AND" all the time and (ha!) I hate that it irks me but it does. She had three things to relate last night--I knew it had to be bad because she NEVER calls me. She gets mad when I don't call her enough, and I'll say she could call if she's worried, but she says she doesn't want to bother me.
Anyway.
I have a very small family. The first news was that my cousin, who's pretty much the only one left and who I'm very close to, his partner had an aneurysm and isn't expected to live long. My cousin is 20 years older than I am, more like an uncle, and prone to serious depression. His partner has made him a new person since they've been together, and I am so worried. I talked with his son, and he's worried about losing his dad too. I'm considering driving up there but I don't know what I can do.
Then Mom told me about the memorial service this past weekend they went to for a guy I knew (family friends). She told me about how his mother was in a wheelchair and now in an assisted living home and didn't know people, his dad's in another home. I remember these people being so alive and funny.
Then Mom talked about how Dad doesn't use his weight machine anymore, nobody wants to buy it, so he used his tools to make it into scrap and took it out to sell.
I feel SO OLD, and feel like everyone I love and everything is so old as well. I have that "we're all going to die" feeling and my heart is just crushed. I feel alone and crushed and so very sad.
i am so here for you. my special needs brother died in January and my parents basically fell apart (55 years of life's focus ended overnight...). they've been in and out of the hospital and rehab and mom's is increasingly deluded. now i'm having to figure out long term care with their only asset being their (admittedly high priced) house. so so so so many things to sort out (and so so so so many people giving me advice). and to make matters more complicated, mr fuflans has been in GA since january taking care of HIS mom.
my only escape is theatre (as an actor, not audience). right now i'm full time dedicated to folks but i'm about to need to carve out some space.
Hi Babe - lurker here, so sorry about your situation. There's only so much one can do. If you can wall off a corner unreachable to the crazy (mine is a day a week with cats only) it's a start. Apparently the world is going to s*it (for now,) we all deserve one non-rotten day. This community is a solace :)
I feel the same way every other day. It's ok, people much younger get the same angst it turns out. My mother is 90, healthy everywhere, and the same awful person she has always been. Dad, the person we liked, has been dead almost 30 years.
Trump is president, 1/2 of americans are idiots.
We are in this together, us good people, and I live for those every other days. Why not?
I hear ya, and sympathize... in the last nine months I've lost many people in my circle to dementia and death. People who were vibrant and hilarious and who were bedrocks of my life. It will only be a few years before I go down this shadowed path, so I am making plans to leave things as simple and clean as possible for the people who survive me.
That's what my folks were doing--"death cleaning". But I want everything to just be the way it was forever. I know that's not how it works, but I wish I could go back in time to when I didn't REALLY know how things are.
Hey-o, it’s Rojo! More about this jaguar cub here: https://open.substack.com/pub/martiniambassador/p/rojo-the-jag-cub
And your meme chat: https://open.substack.com/chat/posts/a568b5ee-f516-41aa-b1ed-6932dc81fb3b?utm_source=share
I like jaguars better as cats than cars. The cars are often prettier than they are reliable.
The cats are always reliably watchable. One letter makes a big difference.
Just don't call it a "jag-wire".
In this case a wires jag. Who gave that kitten 'nip?
(Jeremy Clarkson voice) It's a JAAAAAAAAAG!
The All New Jag-you-are
A squee-type jag.
I love watching babby animals just do their thing!
I can't wait to go see this babeh!
Oh how fun!
God really outdid herself when she created cute, cuddly killing machines.
The UnrealDonaldjTrump:
"I love cheetahs. Ooops, check that, I meant cheaters,"
Quoting Zasu, "Cheetah's never prosper."
Cheaters get given second terms by morons, though.
Even the big cat babbies are bonkers kittens.
You really didn't need that tenth finger, right?
Rojo has the mojo!
Jaguar?
Shit.
And I have ''Your Cheetah Heart'' all cued up.
Welp, would be a hanging offense to let Patsy Cline go to waste.

By the way. Can Trump actually drive? Cars that is, his golf game sucks rocks in any case.
Next up on "Not My President": Don and DOGE replace all Federal motor pool vehicles with Tesla autos and Cybertrucks. Hilarity ensues.
Bastile Day in 4 months.

POV: the want ads flood with used Tesla's for sale. Someone hacks the site and replaces Tesla with 'POS' - i could live with that

When Obama was president, Republicans hated Tesla and Musk.

Did he buy that Tesla with his money or our money? Not that there's any difference in his mind, but there is still a line somewhere.
No there isn't.

Idea:
Now that we know that Jared Moscowitz is a traitor Dem that voted to censure Al Green, can he be removed from this page?
Y'all?

Hi Babe - lurker here, so sorry about your situation. There's only so much one can do. If you can wall off a corner unreachable to the crazy (mine is a day a week with cats only) it's a start.

Hey there, lurker! Thank you for unlurking for a minute to be kind!
I feel the same way every other day. It's ok, people much younger get the same angst it turns out. My mother is 90, healthy everywhere, and the same awful person she has always been. Dad, the person we liked, has been dead almost 30 years.
Trump is president, 1/2 of americans are idiots.
We are in this together, us good people, and I live for those every other days. Why not?
My mom is 89, and drives me crazy!
My niece and brother are both in the healthcare biz, and have endless patience with her, (they say it takes about 10 years to develop this).
I find that having a granddaughter really helps with this despair.
Not sure if it's a "circle of life" or "hope in the youngs" thing.
Babies can really help!
(Plus, it doesn't help that the orange idiot, and his followers bring a new nightmare every day!)
I just hate that the people who I knew a certain way are just not who they were. I want to scream at them.
Since I don't have the kiddos, I'll take your advice and focus on my young nieces!
I knew I'd love becoming a grandmother.
What I didn't expect was the "comfort in the future" it would bring.
(No wonder my mom is crazy about her first great-grandchild!)
I hope your nieces can do the same!
I hear ya, and sympathize... in the last nine months I've lost many people in my circle to dementia and death. People who were vibrant and hilarious and who were bedrocks of my life. It will only be a few years before I go down this shadowed path, so I am making plans to leave things as simple and clean as possible for the people who survive me.

Someone is affecting or infecting the market today.
Do you think the donold buying one car pumped his stock up nine dollars?
the minions are at work and I can only hope they lose big!
Wasn't it over $400 not long ago? Could be another of my false memories, and I don't really care anyway.
Just traders and institutions buying on the dip can push a price up. It's probably just a momentary blip.
