    This is why the writers of Veep decided to end the show, since their parody was somehow less outlandish than reality

    So not only did Musk un-ban Jones, even though he said he never would because he exploited the deaths of children, but he’s also appearing on livestreams with him? Do I have that right? He’s not only giving him a platform to spread conspiracies, he’s boosting them by appearing with him at an event? Jesus Christ, what a gigantic piece of shit.

      Twitter users are down. Ad sales are drying up. Employees are continuing to do bare minimum until they can jump ship.

      Musk is beyond throwing spaghetti at the wall, as he’s now scraping the poop chute and seeing if that works.

    I apologize for this childish post, but all I could think of was that scene in The Naked Gun.

    Sometimes, life needs a little levity, and I’m fine with it coming at the expense of terrible assholes.

      This would still be funny if it happened to a politician I liked. But that would last about 30 seconds before the Family Values dipshits started calling for a censure for obscenity or some bullshit.

          That real good “check their history to see if they do this shit all the time and block them if they do” humor.

          Truly avant garde. Thankfully not applicable in this case.

        This sequence actually codes for recQ-mediated genome instability protein 1 in Glycin max, for those curious. So Vivek is actually a soybean. It all checks out.

          So Vivek is actually a soybean. It all checks out.

          Perhaps, but he’s also immune to the effects of Glyphosate (Roundup) herbicide. How many of the other GOP primary candidates can claim the same. We journalists asked those campaigns how they match up against this Ramaswamy credential, the responses were mixed:

          • The Trump campaign: “Trump’s well known immunity to Glyphosate was the sole reason for the Deep State’s highly and unprovable coordinated campaign to steal the 2020 election.”

          • The Haley campaign “We will neither confirm nor deny Haley’s associations with Glyphosate vulnerability, but we’d like to note that you will likely find historical Haley’s statements at different times both support and condemn Glyphosate, so which every statement you need to produce a positive piece of journalism we can provide it. Just ask. Please. We need some positive press. So, like, if you’ve got any ideas, we’re all ears over here. Really! Keep in mind, it has to resonate with our largely racist and misogynistic base to pass the primary.”

          • The Christie campaign “What the f*$# are you talking about? How the hell did you get this phone number?”

          • The Desantis campaign did not respond. Phone calls to one phone number at the campaign just went to Voice Mail. We left voice mails that went unanswered. Another number phone number at the campaign office was answered, by a gentleman claiming no knowledge of the Desantis campaign reporting he recently got the phone number but could offer us “$60 for an eighth”. Attempting to get a response we went to a total of three different listed campaign offices. Two of them were newly minted Spirit Halloween stores, while the third appeared to be a homeless encampment with the residents burning “Desantis for President” signs and Tshirts for light and warmth.

      This. Musk doesn’t know how to run a professional event. He fires everyone so Vivek should have seen disaster coming.

      I thought the last event ended his chances for president.

    I’d guess that this was the most informative and intelligent moment of the entire discussion. If I was forced to choose between listening to these fascists chuds talk for an hour or a 60 minute compilation of Ramaswamy peeing, I’d probably take the latter.

    Way to prove you are a “free speech absolutist” Elon. The sound of a fascist man-child pissing is the real “truth” the media has been hiding from us. Go fuck yourself.
