This Idea Sounds Trivial, But I Think It Is Important

We need to keep saying President Musk. (it is true) When Musk ran the show yesterday in the Oval Office several media outlets inferred that Musk was the president and TSF was baby sitting Musk's son.

If we want to cause friction between Musk and Trump, this is the way to do it. Even his base is upset with Musk.

A feud between the two top Magats would be glorious, especially since Musk will win, Musk was a huge reason that Trump "won." Trump owes his presidency to Musk.

This is the pecking order;

Putin
Musk
Trump

....and Trump knows it.

I evaluate someone's mental stability by asking myself, would I want that person to be my next-door neighbor?

No way would I want Musk for a neighbor, there are definitely some screws loose somewhere.

The other day I heard a reporter from a country I can't recall say "Uh lawn" Musk, emphasis on "lawn." Maybe an ESL* speaker or someone who is an expert troll. Either way it was hilarious.

Ridicule in any form works for me. Lashing out can make some of us feel better. Not everyone appreciates that style, though. It's only one tool in our toolbox that we need full of options. I'll try anything once.

Thanks for sharing this, gab13by13.

*ESL is the acronym for English as a Second Language.
