Anyone notice Musk looks like Officer Barbrady these days?

Big surprise, Elon backed out of the interview with Stewart. He pussed out a fight with Zuckerberg and now he is afraid of talking with Jon Stewart. He tried to say Stewart was too political. Despite him sucking off Tucker Carlson not too long ago.

We "paused" support for Ukraine. I think this war has been framed as woke vs unwoke, which is beyond stupid. Ukraine was never a bastion of left-wing cultural values. Amazing how Americans put their own politics on wars that have nothing to do with them.

Tariffs for Canada and Mexico. Trumps excuse for Canada makes no sense. Canada willing to hit back. Ontario threatens to cut off power supply to American states. Quebec will probably do so as well.

China tariffs increased by 15%. China to tariff us return. Be prepared to subsidize American farmers again and watch Brazilain farmers sell more soy and beef to China.

lol, the subsidies to farmers cost us more than maintaining the Dept of State last time. It also cost us more than NASA's budget. And it was 4x what we give scientists via the NSF. It also cost us more than a lot of important programs for Americans

After complaining about California not paying attention to water enough, Trump fires a bunch of people at the Bureau of Reclamation, which manages dams and water-delivery infrastructure in California.

For an actual win, TSMC says it will invest 100 billion to expand its current 65 billion dollar chip factory in AZ. Trump claims it is because of the tariffs, China's threat to take over Taiwan might better explain it, and Biden probably wants credit for this as well through the support he gave through the CHIPS Act

Good explainer on the tariffs and the auto industry. My thought (not in the video), fucking over the American auto supply chain benefits Musk. There are already 100% tariffs on BYD, which Musk begged Biden for because Tesla cannot compete and fucking up Ford and other American companies' supply chain would benefit Tesla as well, especially since the Canadian plants were electric investments.


And a good explainer on the small trade deficit America has with Canada

Elon pulls out of everything — making ventilators, saving kids in caves, a fight with Zuck, an interview.

In fact, the only thing he doesn’t pull out of is women he dupes.

[brycickle]

I thought it was funny that his stipulation for an interview with Stewart was that it had to be unedited. Elon, the last thing you want is an unedited interview of Jon Stewart tearing you to pieces.

He thought he had an “Ah-Ha” moment to use in an argument that Dems cheat via editing.

Less he forget that Trump and Vance were the ones who pulled out because they didn’t want live fact-checking, also that 60 mins willingly gave over the Kamala transcript only for them to learn her interview was edited for time, not content.

He doesn't even do that:

I knew it was never gonna happen, but I was damn hungry for that interview... this "administration" is catching plenty of smoke and you can bet they aren't gonna stoke the flames anymore than they need to

In the first hour after the inauguration, he made more money than like 87% of Americans would in the year.

Ending bit of the Address to Congress almost had me convinced, but then I remembered it’s the same shit over and over and over again

[Freelancevagrant]

Let’s talk shoplifting, fraud, waste, and abuse.

Liberal protests in pink aren’t going to do shit.

Shoplifting is a great way to get you and your community the goods it desperately needs, without spending any hard earned money! Make a false bottom tote bag and go shopping! Vary your locations and appearance frequently and never hit the same spot twice in one month.

Need emergency healthcare? Go to the ER, give them a fake ssn, a fake name, and a fake address. You’ll get the care you need without dealing with pesky medical debt.

Steal as much as humanly possible from your job, including time!

Also if you’re ever arrested, don’t say anything except you are experiencing chest pain. They will release you into the custody of the ER, city and county jails can not accept anyone that has urgent medical needs and it saves the cops from having to do paper work, it is a win for everybody.


Also if you haven’t yet, buy yourself a 3d printer and check this out.

Fuck every cop, fuck every politician, and fuck every bootlicker.

I know of multiple people who have done it multiple times. I also know for a fact health care workers don’t mind as long as you know your medical history and what medications you take (to avoid potentially harmful interactions).

Also, you can use getting out of getting bagged to get your healthcare needs. 2 for 1 deal.

Most people don't know their history though, or the names of the meds they take. This results in a delay of care if they are truly having a medical emergency. On that note, if you have a true medical emergency, you'll likely be admitted, which makes your little ruse a bit more difficult to keep up.

As to your telling the cops you're having chest pain, also an idiotic idea. The cops will likely have your real information, and a chest pain workup ain't cheap at all. Then of course there's the fact that you can remain under arrest until medically cleared, then taken to jail. So, big bill and you still go to jail.

Maybe rethink some of these bullshit knee-jerk ideas.

America is back. USA USA USA.

The GOP sure does love virtue signaling their love for the military, but absolutely hates actually doing anything for them.

Or could it just be that I'm an actual medical professional who cares about helping patients?

[skippersoldballs]

Could be true, at the end of the day we’re all just strangers on the computer.

 For what it’s worth I have no first hand experience with the United States medical system. But I’ve heard from friends in the US who’ve done essentially the same thing described above. All anecdote obviously, but if anyone is jerking the knee you drew first blood

[brycickle]

Nobody was talking to you in the first place.

Hope those of you guys in Veterans Affairs are ok. This is crazy.

My homies who are Nurses/Nurse Practitioners all say there's a lot of tension and apprehension in the VA hospital they're at. Like there's something amiss and they're all walking on egg shells.

It's all bullshit posturing. He screams and bullies out loud about tariffs, then when a country rebuffs his shit, he silently cowers.
