Elon getting in on the treason

In today’s episode of Absolutely Nothing Matters, imagine the headlines if Joe Biden or Barack Obama had made a lawyer who only operated in China the Press Secretary.

If the right-wingers in your life are fired up about Ilhan Omar’s supposed “fraud” investigation, quickly remind them that no amount of fraud would ever hold a candle to what our president - who was convicted 34 times for felony fraud - or his family has carried out, and the hard truth is that the only reason one matters to them and not the other is simply wide open racism and sexism. #IlhanOmar

I actually have “U.S. joins Russia in its war on Ukraine” on my 2026 bingo card.

A story about the richest person I’ve ever met.

It’s one of two people; I don’t know who has more. They both lived at the same place - the first guy sold it to the second. It’s a palace of a house on top of a mountain across from a world-famous ski lodge. There was a Ferrari in the garage. The half-mile driveway was heated underground so it didn’t need to be plowed in the winter. They fly to it in their own helicopters.

They’re not even billionaires. I checked.

A billion is so, so much.

Tell me he’s not Krasnov.

I’d rather see a clumsily cobbled together image made by MS Paint than the most polished AI image.

I find #AI images *really* offputting.

The acts of tyranny being carried out on any single given day in this country should have been enough to compel people to overthrow this government years ago.

There are no redeeming qualities here. There is nothing worth salvaging.

After the guillotines are done, start over from scratch.

Democrats still don’t get it, and they never will.

I don’t think they grasp how angry people are getting. I’d be way more afraid of my constituents these days if I were a Democrat than if I were a Republican. Everyone *expects* Republicans to be asshole shills for the rich.

If there was a single point in history where it should have been clear to the rest of the world that the U.S. was not a “good guy” country, it was the passing of The Hague Invasion Act.

If 9/11 happened today, 1/3 of the country would celebrate the deaths of a bunch of libs.

The most right-wing of my coworkers was asking me all about our electric car today.

We’ve reached the point where the influence that fuel prices has on people’s priorities has completely eclipsed any influence that personal politics has.

That’s a game changer.

Sociopathic AI weirdo billionaires are building the systems that will take all our jobs, then surveil, police, imprison, oppress, and enslave the rest of us.

That’s what they’re doing. That’s their plan.

They’re not all building heavily fortified bunkers because they live in bad neighborhoods.

By the time the average slob realizes this, it will be way, way too late.

Overarching theme of the last decade

Literally everything Chump does would be the most scandalous thing done in any pre-Chump presidency.

If there are no consequences for this, there is no justification for this government to continue to exist.

Haven’t seen a headline yet worthy of bumping “United States president was best buds with a pedophile, and sure seems to be one himself” out of the Biggest News Story this Century spot.
