Meanwhile, Trump has ordered $400m worth of “armored Teslas” for military use.

Definitely no risks or conflicts of interest there.

Wait until DOGE here about this misuse of Government defence spending.

Fascinating how the MAGA mind works. Electric cars are junk for common everyday use but are perfect for the military. And there is no conflict of interest if the grift is done in plain sight.

At the same time we have 6 European countries in the Chinese Belt and Road initiative and a European minister meeting Chinese government officials in Munich yesterday, trying to do a trade deal with China.
It could be argued, we are making China richer, while asking the US to defend us.

Don’t worry y’all, it can’t stay the Gulf of America for long; the US won’t exist by this time next year.

 

[Keef]

What’s your thinking behind that? States leaving the Union, Civil war, just a general collapse in services, schooling and all the other stuff that runs a country

 

[Alan]

Tongue kind of in cheek, but we’re dangerously close to requiring military intervention on Musk specifically. And how will that go? I honestly have no idea. I can only hope that despite the President’s mandate as Commander in Chief, the Oath sworn by the USAF is to the Constitution, not the Presidency. The problem, obviously, is that in the eyes of MAGA, that will be a coup.

We’re holding a lit match over a powder keg. I don’t think people here are grasping just how close to the edge we already are.
