      He should buddy up with Polish president Duda, not only they are both cringy fools but Duda was also not even given a chair when he signed various vassal pledges:

      Also, "first buddy" sounds more like a official palace dog title

    You know, this world has always, with some exceptions (do we not have a heads of communism emoji?) been ruled by ravenous ghouls but I feel like they had more gravitas before?

    Idk, like Trump, Musk, Milei, Fetterman, Bolsonaro, Zelensky, etc these guys all kinda feel like clowns or something? Like they're cosplaying? Is it just the infantilization of the human race via the modern internet leaking into politics? Or maybe older figures were just as embarrassing but didn't have constant exposure like modern politicians (also due to the internet I guess)?

      I’ve maintained for a while now that imperialism has reached the Habsburg chin stage of imperial decline. We’re ruled by the failsons of failsons, assisted by a caste of spiritual and intellectual eunuchs

      I think that's the kid where the rest of the name is a ligature and a string of numbers

    I feel sorry for that kid. It might actually be one of the cases where Musk is a better father when he's being a deadbeat.

    I still remember when Trump was first elected and this guy clutched his pearls over being Trumps advisor and tried to still sooth the libs and progressives that he is what he had managed to portray he is previously. The mask has truly fallen.

      I hope they're actually working on inner peace and not reading drivel like this. The shit that's happening now just keeps my heartburn churning.

          maybe someone will eventually get physical messages smuggled to them from his safe house and we can post screenshots of them like 3 weeks out of date with hand drawn emojis

    American nationalism's death drive has taken the unique form of producing the most embarrassing spectacle possible to see who's still so insane as to think any of this reflects a funtional political system.

    Musk is the most annoying person on the planet. Trump will not be able to resist making him fuck off, no matter how useful he is with the money and the twitter.

        Critical support for Trump making Elon ambassador to some tiny pacific island with no internet service.

      Musk may have learned from his briefly held economy or whatever role during the first Trump admin, even subconsciously, that you stick around by just not leaving the room. He's there to get bailed out, not that he won't fuck it up again.

      Trump, literally, has gotten everything he might need from Musk.
