- Ian taught himself to play in weeks

He's the major artist I saw most times in concert, 3 times in the 70's. He's why I still own a flute!

He said after he heard some of the lead guitarists of his day play early on, he decided he needed to find different lead instrument. So glad he did.

We have needed more workers, not less, over the last years, and the FACT is that immigrants of all sorts have long been a Net Positive for the economy.

And they commit far less crimes per capita than do citizens.

So, I know you are scared shi... witless by rwing propaganda paid for by billionaire corporations, but do try to hold it while the rest of us clean up Trump's Recession.

"Why, Johnny Ringo... you look like somebody just walked over your grave."

This is policy that were it to have any positive effect at all would be years from now; factories don't build themselves overnight ya know!

But hey, the people that decided this was somehow a good idea aren't going to feel the pinch in the meantime at all. AND they will have gotten trillions more in tax cuts.

While increasing Defense Spending, and taking out more loans from the Banks who finance their Campaigns.

Which is what really needs reforming; Corporations and billionaires are not, "We the People".

Video version:

1. Break Up Western Alliance? Check.

2. Make Bush Recession Look Like Nothing? Check.

3. Invade Canada, Panama, Greenland, and the Local McDonalds. Check. Check.

As many here have noted, and others ignored, this was always going to cost more than it saved.

And that's just money; the cruelty was the point.

Hence the asterisk.

"But many others say he's an unpredictable, unmanageable force who has had issues communicating his plans with Cabinet secretaries and through the White House chain of command led by chief of staff Susie Wiles, frequently sending them into a frenzy with unexpected and off-message comments on X, his social-media platform " including sharing unvetted and uncoordinated plans to gut federal agencies.

The political threat Musk poses was highlighted Tuesday after Democrats seized on Musk's roughly $20 million investment in the Wisconsin race, with some openly calling it a referendum on the polarizing mogul."

they go on to say that fElon isn't going anywhere out of Trump's circle, just out of that job.

I think he may finally have figured out that he was the Fall Guy all along in the Mobster's Scheme to shake down the taxpayers aka the Pensioners. And aka We the People.

"Tesla Board Asks Elon Musk to Step Down*"

You're prolly thinkin' about back when laws were more important than Trump's whims.

The olden days of yore.

"It's a case of violating a defendant's right to present at trial and confront witnesses against him," Judge Mark Summerville said from the bench. "It couldn't be more serious."

Sullivan described a tense scene, in which ICE agents pounced on Martell-Lebron without identifying themselves, put him into a pickup truck and sped away. The trial Thursday had just begun with opening statements and the first witnesses."

These Trump Enforcement Agents of all sorts think they are all Jack Reacher... with Pres Immunity.

Republican think that 'Reacher' is a documentary program.

And that Trump47 is a, 'The Apprentice' sequel.

- People talking "Soros"

Are pointing away from Trump saying, "Hey, look over there!".

Whataboutisms are a menace to logic... as if some sort of presumed hypocrisy by Dems makes whatever Trumpers do A-OK.

Missing the point entirely appears to be in their DNA.

There should be a Robson SNL skit mocking these kinds of moronic posts.

"Putting corporate pardons on the table strengthens Trump's corrupt and authoritarian power over corporations," said Rick Claypool, research director for consumer advocacy group Public Citizen's president's office.

"This has the potential to trigger a lobbying frenzy for any corporation that has faced federal enforcement."

This was only a matter of time since Corporations bought enough Politicians to give themselves 'Corporate Personhood' under the law; making money speech.

So that now every poor human sob in the country competes with multi-billion dollar corporations for fairness, justice, and equality under the Law.

And they lose every time.

"6 ways Democrats won the biggest election of Trump 2.0

The tech billionaire became a huge focus of a state Supreme Court race. It turned out to help Democrats a lot."

Fun watching MAGA's denial death throws.

This and the Wisc loss may be a turning point for the Make America Goofy Again crowd.

One can only hope.

Herr Musk has at least as much narcissism as he does money.

His disbelief that there is something he couldn't buy must be overwhelming.

Yea, democracy!

"Schimel told his supporters he had conceded to Crawford, leading to yells of anger. One woman began to chant, "Cheater, cheater!"

"No," Schimel said. "You've got to accept the results."

One is either for Traitor Trump or against him; either a patriot or a traitor enabler by obfuscating for him on these pages daily.

So sole advantage of which goes to JeffyBelle, who now has company. Bad company, but company still.

"Liberal candidate Susan Crawford has won the Wisconsin Supreme Court election, NBC News projected Tuesday, preserving a liberal majority on the swing state's highest court.

Crawford, a circuit court judge in Dane County, defeated Brad Schimel, a Waukesha County circuit court judge and former Republican state attorney general."

"Crawford, a liberal circuit court judge in Dane County, will beat the conservative candidate Brad Schimel, a Waukesha County judge who received Trump's backing in the final stretch of the campaign.

The race was officially nonpartisan, but Crawford's victory will be seen as a bright spot for Democrats in Wisconsin and nationwide as voters handed the president's preferred candidate a defeat in the first major political test of the second Trump era.

Crawford and her Democratic allies also worked to turn the election into a referendum on Trump ally Elon Musk, who poured millions of his personal fortune into the race. It quickly became the most expensive judicial contest in US history."
