I hope the voters in Miami have learned (and have yet to learn more) that any candidate supported by Trump (Randy Fine) is a MAGA --------- who has agreed up front to support Trump's and the GOP mission to destroy American democracy and the judicial system of checks and balances along with every civil right they have in this country.

I hope they can look past the millions of dollars Elon Muck vowed to contribute to candidates like Randy Fine whose vote Republicans can count on to keep Speaker Johnson (another Trump cohort) in office.

VOTE Democrat JOSH WEIL and help Democrats drain the swamp that Trump has created.

I fully expect this type of goonish incompetence to permeate the entire Trump administration for the duration. Mainly because Trump himself is no better.

We have Goonies running the country.

The buck stops with Trump. He picked these slap-happy losers.

The only purpose for a group chat (to begin with) was a group hug. Why else would it be necessary for so many details when a simple "Mission accomplished" would suffice?

They were so busy getting pumped up with self-importance that they didn't notice there was an eavesdropper in their midst.

Can you imagine how this group of nincompoops would handle themselves in a REAL war with dozens of missions taking place in dozens of locations, ground, air and sea?

And the Nincompoop-in-Chief barking out the orders.

I wonder how much Tesla stock Trump dumped.

Trump's command of the English language has never been very good. He meant to say "fertilizer" president.

He's using code so nobody can claim they haven't been warned.

If I was BOAZ I'd be more concerned with "who's next" on Trump's list to turn America into a Nazified Aryan nation.

We'll know soon whether or not Musk is wasting his money. I have high hopes that Wisconsin will set an example of resistance to bribery for other states elections to follow.

Why???

Left to the imagination, I posit that about 99.999999% of suspicion of nefarious reasons would be correct.

Namely:

Trump's plots to destroy all semblance of a Constitutional Democracy, plank by plank, is hardly a secret any more.

I assume Speaker Johnson didn't get the message from Chief Justice Roberts about messing with the judiciary. . . (the short version) "Tread softly!"

You'd think by now that drivers of a Tesla would be aware of the danger they're in.

It's like an admission that they support the destruction of America.

They should expect consequences.

"Musk was born in South Africa to South African (rich) parents. He's ineligible to be president, the #1 requirement for a VP."

Under normal circumstances and with a President who respected the Constitution to which he swore an oath, you'd be right.

However, at the speed Trump is going, I fully expect our Constitutional Republic to be in tatters long before 2028.

Or something along the lines of what Grover Norquist is famous for saying: "My goal is to cut government in half in twenty-five years, to get it down to the size where we can drown it in the bathtub."

By the way, JPW, when did Trump ever shy away from creating drama and strife.

It's his stock in trade.

Maybe I failed to get my point across.

It isn't about what Musk is doing NOW. It's about 2028 and Trump's chosen successor. Another "strongman," so to speak, to continue to carry out the GOP mission.

Vance is a Milquetoast compared to Musk.

Trump is a compulsive liar.

My Spidey Sense tells me that Elon Musk is being primed to replace J.D. Vance as Vice President . . . and Trump's chosen successor in 2028.

I think the meeting at the Pentagon was to get Musk up to speed which means the switch-er-roo could be right around the corner.

If true, Peter Thiel will become one of Trump's worst enemies.

Threaten?? ~ LOL ~ Who's kidding whom from these GOP nothingburgers.

I'm still waiting for another Barry Goldwater moment: "Mr. President, you've lost support of the Senate."

Impeachment is imminent!

Fat chance these castrated Republicans eunuchs will go that far.

There's been a news report on our local channel (Miami) that people are shooting at Tesla cars on the open highway.

"Many say"

That's laughable even when Trump says it.

Who are these "many?"

Trump's sycophants in Congress? The White House secretarial pool? An internet survey? Fox viewers? A GOP focus group in Texas?

CLOWN

"Why is Trump rehiring these lazy employees back?"

Because the message from Chief Justice Roberts couldn't be more clear.

The short version: Back off, -------. You attack one of us, you attack all of us.

CHARLES

We'll have to think of a name for the new golden statue of Trump since "Statue of Liberty" is out of the question now.

Perhaps the FCC is running a scan to see if this liberal blog and its host is "an enemy of the people" as Trump begins his quest to eliminate another constitutional protection.

The Trump administration hasn't gone into freefall yet. And I hope nobody expects him to abide by any judicial losses. We've got a long and tragedy-fraught road ahead and a congress that has gone belly up.

DONNERBOY is correct. It's their cover against a claim of partisanship while they intend to deliver the final killer vote that ends democracy.

And don't gloat over Trump's losses. He's trying to get as many cases before the Supreme Court as he can to get those lower court cases reversed . . . thus carving them in stone.

"So maybe, "a vocabulary" is not needed to state one's views?"

I don't share that view, personally. It's just too unsophisticated. There are better ways than putting one's ignorance on display.
