Can we all agree now that showboat "billionaires," (trust fund brats) and "reality TV celebrities" might not make the best civil administrators?

It's funny. Musk is a drug addict working in an environment where his employees must remain drug-free. And attendees of the National Rifle Association events can't bring weapons. Same with the Republican national convention. So, in typical Republican fashion, believe the rules only apply to others.

It'd be interesting to get a visualization of the start and stop dates for those entering Trump's orbit before being ejected to become a rogue planet. Links please if anyone has seen something like this.

Thanks in advance.

Trump's on a mission from Satan.

As a former government employee, what I saw in Musk was a complete ignorance of the functions of government agencies, cutting randomly, without the knowledge to preserve critical functions

In other words, high as a kite on ketamine, et al, brandishing his chain saw wildly, destroying Federal government agencies, and the lives of those cut out destroyed

Are you willing to provide the recipe you use for dog food?

It turns out that Musk takes so much ketamine that he can no longer control his bladder. I guess that he and Trump have something in common besides fascism.

Where is the laser red pen that someone used on a photo of his orange face on a govt building banner. Devil ears, goatee and tail need to be added to the mafia boss photo. The $$$crypto/grift/corruption/find-me-a-crown & throne mission (all of which will fit nicely in the flying palace plane) is for... that person.

So the great Federalist-who probably did brag about owning judges, which Trump doesn't believe is true because he believes that he owns them – is finding out what EVERY single person discovers about Trump once they've worked with him. Once you've helped him and he's gotten everything he needs from you, you're history. You're not exempt from the nasty diatribe he'll focus on any single person because, whether it be via his Truth Social rants or X, or in front of the cameras, he doesn't care, and he can.

He truly doesn't care about any single person but himself. You would think people would not think quite so highly of their own importance when the facts and his behavior are there to consistently affirm these two simple truths. You're not important, he is.

The thing that amazes me still is that many of these people have the resources and influence to strike back at Trump, but they don't. Somehow they believe that after he's gone everything will return to normal.

Trump and Co are destroying the country, the people's faith in their country, the reputations of the very people helping him do what he needs/wants. There isn't any going back anymore.

How short-sighted, greedy and despicable so many around Trump are.... and still he destroys them all. He has no loyalty even to his own "kind".

One wonders when Steve Miller will wear out his welcome? I hope it's very very soon, because the country's reputation is taking the biggest hits due to Trump's tariffs and Miller's immigrations policies. The world can accept that Trump is an idiot and that we don't support his

tariffs, but getting to be known as intolerant White Christian Nationalists, who kick out all of the brown people in favor of protecting white people from South Africa who don't like the fact that Apartheid is gone. And our Supreme Court just told him that it's okay to do that.

Sitting at my computer, disgusted and shaking my head as well, Mark Rodin. What is worse to me is that every time I hear Trump open his mouth-which isn't often because... ugh! But when I do because I think there might be something revelatory, I can feel brain cells dying. This man has nothing to offer, and knows even less.

I'm sitting at my computer shaking my head. No wonder our President's niece, Mary Trump, became a psychologist. I am reminded not only of the Roman Emperor Caligula, but of Nero as well. Too much for this former political reporter who covered campaign appearances in 1980 by former Presidents First Bush, Carter. and Reagan to swallow. The on a mission photo is over the top. "If I only had a brain." Oy!

How is it that the CPS has not stepped in to make sure Musk's kids are not in danger - especially little X?

Musk’s drug use is well known among very few. He may even have a physician similar to the one who drugged Michel Jackson to death. But in the meantime, here is an article about ketamine bladder syndrome. NOT fun to have that. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4544340/
