Adolph had his faults, but he did design a cool flag.

Astoundingly blunt, yet, to the point.

I like that in a comment.

Whether or not I agree or disagree?

Oh, that's a whole different question.

In the case of #2 on this thread, I have a difficulty with disagreeing.

US President Donald Trump has hit out at former close ally Elon Musk over the multi-billionaire's plan to launch a new political party. "I think it's ridiculous to start a third party," said Trump, speaking to reporters on July 6 before boarding Air Force One. "It's always been a two-party system and I think starting a third party just adds to the confusion."

LOL.

We'll know how serious the break-up between these two hominids is if Dummkopf Trumpf revokes the Deputy Marshal status of Felon Musk's goon squad: mikestakeonthemovies.com

Trump's like a mafia don who, instead of starting his own family, killed the Republican party and became its mob boss.

Just another blatant plan to siphon off Democrat leaning votes in 2026. Just like RFK and Cornell West's fake parties last election.

I'm not anti 3rd party but this obvious con job is obvious.

I wish he'd just take up whatever marbles he might have left and go the eff home.

What, specifically, is Mr Musk launching?

To me it looks more like a PAC to support independent candidates than a third political party.

Has he filed the required paperwork to establish his third party?
