I think this is the smart move. Most Americans have yet to learn how things work in a police state. This guy's wife got kidnapped by the SS, and you think he should be like, "Fuck Trump!"

No, man, he is hoping that if he continues to suck the dick they won't rape, torture, and murder her - and then come for him.

"Dear God, thank you for Trump, ICE, and Alligator Auschwitz. Please let our reich last a thousand years."

Is anyone still pretending ICE is about immigration? ICE is Trump's SS, and they just got funding beyond any dictator's wildest dreams. Good luck with your totalitarian police state.

Edit: I want to retract my last sentence. It was callous and stupid. My heart aches for the people who fought against this.

This is only true in a world that is mostly full of people with morals. A society built on lying and manipulation inevitably collapses - look at what is happening to the United States. They elected an amoral lying manipulator and in just six months their society is unraveling. They just passed a law that took money away from hungry children and sick people so that their psychopathic leader can better persecute his enemies: that is, anyone who opposes him. ICE just became the best-funded "law" enforcement agency ever created. It is obvious to everyone except a handful of naive idiots that ICE will be used against US citizens to consolidate MAGA's power in an attempt to create a permanent regime. These states always collapse sooner or later, though, because morality is the foundation of law. No one is going to invest in a country where their assets can be seized and they can be imprisoned on the caprice of a senile madman. You can't have trade without trust - all that is left in places like the US are predators and prey.

Same! I gave it way more time than it deserved because so many people raved about the show. For me, it was like a snail-paced soap opera about the least likeable people in the world.

Another face? Wouldn't he just carve his own ugly face over top of the existing ones?

Let's be clear about what is upsetting Musk. He is in favour of the tax cuts to the rich. He just thinks that the poor should SUFFER MORE to make the tax cuts happen. He wants to keep all of the stuff that will benefit him, and cut all the stuff that keeps everyday Americans alive. Please don't spin this as some kind of redemption arc for Musk. If anything, he upset that Trump isn't even shittier.

well put.

Hey man, I downvoted but i wanted to tell you why. My family has multiple alcoholics. I’m not judging you at all, but i a wanted to encourage you to find other coping mechanism. Alcohol is very dangerous, especially when used that way. Be safe, bro.

Good analysis, and good on ya for looking into the data! Thanks.

i share your skepticism and distrust of milei as well. Time will be the true test of his policies. It’s just that i was expecting an unmitigated disaster from day one, and so far …

Yeah, at least the Teslas are new (right now). I haven’t had the same experience with shoddy cabs, but i am in a different part of the world. I can see the appeal of being in a newer, cleaner vehicle.
