If you accept that Trump is Putin's Poodle and also Bibi's Bitch, the hierarchy is a little clearer. If you change the focus a bit to include crimes against humanity, it's easy to bump up Kegsbreath. I'd deal with Elon Skum separately.
Wait…what happened? There are still wars going on? But I thought our illustrious, powerful art-of-the-deal genius promised that the war in Ukraine would end within 24 hours and claimed that the “not-a-war” in Iran was over at least 32 times!?!?! But both have gotten significantly worse?!?!? I’m STUNNED!
Actually, I’m horrified. The demented deviant lunatic madman, convicted felon and sexual predator who is occupying OUR White House, is in full-throttle panic mode, and that makes him EXCEEDINGLY DANGEROUS!
Yes to all. Plus add all of Project 2025 writers and Heritage Foundation members, all trump cultist sycophants in congress and those walking amongst us. I am not a violent person. Never have been. Yet I hear them speak and I want to punch them. Now, of course I'm not serious about punching anyone. What a dream though 🫣🤭 I watch too many movies 🎬
This is why technology like Starlink and SpaceX should not be controlled by one man or small group. It gives them way too much power over country's national sovereignty.
I think that all contracts with Starlink and SpaceX should not be renewed and cancelled if possible without penalty. Musk runs these companies like they are his personal fiefdom, meanwhile he's making billions of dollars. Why should he get the charity he denies to the rest of humanity? Make him pay for his own junk instead of taxpayers.
I think considering the immense power he wields as a force for evil cancel the contracts, penalty or no penalty. The faster the world moves away from the US and all it represents the better.
I still am wondering (although, not really wondering) why Trump had Starlink installed in the White House complex. Who would need to use it beyond the free and secure communications already available, except someone who wants to communicate with others (like, maybe, another head of state cough cough Putin) completely unmonitored and undocumented.
A guy I've known for 50 years and have always considered a friend voted trump. Absolutely breaks my heart for a variety of reasons. Most recently because I told of an incident where someone used the last part of the R word, which is also a slur. My child, his child, are both mentally disabled. Hearing people use fuck**rd or lib**rd makes my skin crawl, but also makes me wonder wtf is wrong with them that they slur so easily. I complained to him, thinking he'd understand. He did not. He changed the subject, saying how he had starlink at his house in Virginia and....I interrupted, saying I wouldn't be caught dead having starlink. His reply back? Laughing, he said, I knew you'd say that. I haven't spoken to him since. I wonder what he thinks now. Or does he defend. Again. 50 years and trump trashed a friendship. I don't know my friend anymore. He absolutely wasn't like this 12 years ago. And so I'm sad and so incredibly disappointed 😔
At risk of being labeled a "socialist" (if not worse), I have to say that I don't think that ANY public communication systems or public utilities should be completely for-profit, privately owned enterprises. Yes, we have to allow for some incentive for investment and discovery, but too much of our modern world, our economies, not to mention now national defense, depends upon infrastructure vulnerable to Musk-style manipulation or impedance.
Yes and please donate 10$ to help feed a family of four for a month. 10$ we can’t feed our children for breakfast for 10$ they are feeding a family of 4 for the whole month. Also if you can afford to donate the medical kit that soldiers need to help them if injured. They also se those same kits to help injured civilians. So please consider donating for these great organizations to help Ukraine in their efforts to survive. They deserve to live in a sovereign nation but Trump loves Putin and his is doing everything he can for Russia and so is musk-rat. He is not a US citizen and yet he’s working for the government, anything he did with DOGE should have been illegal. He needs to be deported back to South Africa and so should all the South Africa people that were allowed in the USA
Since he falsely obtained a student visa, never attended a US school, and stayed after it expired, he qualifies (according to the Trump admin) for denaturalization. How he got citizenship .... well, probably bought it. He still holds SA citizenship, I believe.
Musk is --technically-- a U.S. citizen, despite his efforts working against our Constitution, government and citizens; although he WAS here illegally after losing the job that his visa was connected to, making him immediately (in the eyes of the Republican cult) an "illegal."
While neither he nor his brother were prosecuted for their "illegal"-ness, they DID later become naturalized citizens, which is one of the things PedoPINO and his cult are working to reverse with their attack on the 14th Amendment (no, not the part about "no insurrectionists in elected office"; the OTHER part about about birthright citizenship and naturalization.)
I wonder if PedoPINO and his cult will send Musk, Melania, Rubio, and Cruz back to their own countries, since they are not "American" according to Republican cult doctrine? 🤔
So is Ilhan Omar. That's not stopping trump and his regime. What's stopping trump from going after musk? The millions donated to trump sycophants running for congress.
"Countries everywhere are now asking whether buying Starlink means handing Trump and Musk a kill switch. I think the answer should be obvious by now." Cut Starlink now. Cut Musk's balls off. Nationalize Starlink 2028. Period.
Its a good time to remind Americans that Elon Musk is same psychopath who in 2024 spent hundreds of millions and violated election laws to support Trump, in 2025 unleashed a bunch of his fanboys to reek havoc on the federal government and destroy USAID. Now he is helping Putin attack Ukraine.
If you have Starlink, cancel it. If you’re considering an electric vehicle, buy it from anyone but Tesla. And tell your congressional representatives to nationalize SpaceEx and Starlink. Elon has proven himself to be a threat to democracy at home and abroad.
He is threatening Delta Airlines because they did not sign up for Starlink wi-fi and will be using Amazon "Leo" instead. I would rather communicate by morse code, smoke signals and two tin cans with string than ever use anything from that demented lunatic war criminal. I hope he ODs.
Iran gives oil to Russia for missiles and intel. Russia refines the oil and makes diesel. We are going to buy that diesel from Russia. That is aiding and abetting the enemy which is TREASON.
All indications point to victories in the midterms. We don’t know how many seats or where they will land, but we do know that a Democratic Congress without a super majority cannot overrule a veto. What happens after January 3rd will rest mainly on deterrence and obstruction, making it necessary to set priorities. As this election season plays out one issue, one construct, one Supreme Court decision, stand out as particularly heinous, Citizens United.
In 2010 when the Supreme Court issued its ruling on Citizens United, opening the floodgates to unfettered money from corporations and outside groups into the subterranean sphere of campaign financing, Super PAC’s, it was common sense that this was a bad call. Money is not speech, but what it grants, is the vast power of the purse, if, as intended in Congress, or as abducted, by Trump or as granted by the Supreme Court, in private hands. Dark money is dark by design and pollutes the integrity of those running for office as well as those operatives who supply the cash, nefarious actions spurned on by the arrogance of wealth in the pursuit of power.
Short term solutions now rendered meaningless by Trump’s disdain for the rule of law and the intrusion of Musk’s predatory use of his money. A Constitutional amendment is a pipe dream and the only remedy lies within the Supreme Court, whose current configuration prohibits even the thought of reform. The process of reconfiguring the court, for more than just this reason, is both foundational and vital to moving forward to begin to remedy the damage committed against the American people.
Jesus fucking Christ he has completely lost it. Cared for my father with dementia. Holy shit someone needs to take the reins of this batshit individual who is ruining so many lives. I’m quite familiar with going to court and obtaining a guardianship. Just wow.
I’m surprised that Trump didn’t make himself look like a warrior of some sort instead of the fat ass that he really is. He’s either comfortable being the slovenly porker that he really is or Natalie harpie isn’t doing her job right. If Biden did this shit, maga would be up in arms but I’m so glad that democrats are held to a MUCH higher standard!
Republicans are now blaming Trump for the expected loss of the House. They should also be blaming themselves for their spinelessness. Have they learned nothing? Not holding my breath for them to get a clue.
So Musk saw his bot traffic drop and just hit a switch that turns Ukraine to sitting ducks... and the EU is asking QUESTIONS about whether or not to continue to use Starlink?
This order had to have come from the administration (though even if it didn't and it was "just" Musk it's an act of war). Someone needs to find out, and we need treason charges filed immediately, because this is the definition of aiding and abetting the enemy. We are at war with Iran, with service members in theatre; Russia is arming Iran against the United States and this administration is giving succor and aid to Russia.
And I'm so angry right now I'm shaking as I type this.
And I'm sure Nicole, many of us are shaking even when reading it: as reports just seem to get worse and worse. Is there not one single moral soul in the Congress that can stop the lunacy and maniacal delusions of this Pres., his cabinet and family of evil gangsters.
I'm at the stage now ...for "light" entertainment, I watch "The Sopranos" 🙄
I can't believe Zelensky didn't see this coming. Any time you are beholden to Musk and it's a choice between you and Russia. Musk is going to go with Russia every time. By relying on Startlink for your battlefield communications. you laid yourself open for the betrayal. And the same thing can happen to us because we have allowed our systems from air traffic control, to space operations to banking to become deeply entrenched with all things Elon. He can cut us off any time he wants.
Not if he and his staff are yanked out of office, held incommunicado, and Starlink is nationalized as a resource vital to National Security. Should not be a problem, as this path is invoked often enough by tRump and the MAGAs, no?
I am ready for this election cycle to conclude. I determined several months ago that; Ken Paxton, Greg Abbott and Dan Patrick were crooks. I know that the election board in Tarrant County. TX removed polling places to make it more difficult for people to vote. I know Greg Abbott gave the entire voter roll data to the feds under the cover of darkness. He did not even ask the citizens of TX if that was ok(it is not). All this to say the crooks in TX are just as bad as Don Snorleone is in Washington.
I have seen the slop that comes from Agent Orange. He is not right. He is a demented, possibly insane person. How is he even the President?? He needs a rubber room or a jail cell. BTW his band of goons are evil and demented as well. They also need jail cells.
I don't know which war criminal I hate more? Elon? Trump? Putin? Hegseth? Bibi?
That's a tough call.
I'm soooooo incredibly angry and sad! 😔
Especially with how they have betrayed Ukraine!
Yes, this! 😭
All equally bad. All should be held/tried/inprisioned in The Hague.
Yes, then face the firing squad.
True, blood is on their hands.
If you accept that Trump is Putin's Poodle and also Bibi's Bitch, the hierarchy is a little clearer. If you change the focus a bit to include crimes against humanity, it's easy to bump up Kegsbreath. I'd deal with Elon Skum separately.

REPUBLICANS IN CONGRESS, “if you’re listening”…
Republicans in Congress are not listening...their heads are buried too far down in the sand.
Up Trump's shitty asshole too.
All of these despicable shitweasels are like five peas in pod who will hope will eventually be sweating bullets in a Hague courtroom.
decisions decisions....
We’re gonna need a much bigger prison for the criminally insane!
You actually don't need a prison for this type of treason, which is covered by 18 USC 2381. All you need is a solid wall.
Joanne, I would say Trump his regime, Elon, Hegseth, Bidi and Putin all are war criminals; they have all become despicable individuals.
I think they were all born despicable, Dennis 😒
Every single one of them. Hell is waiting for them
Yes to all. Plus add all of Project 2025 writers and Heritage Foundation members, all trump cultist sycophants in congress and those walking amongst us. I am not a violent person. Never have been. Yet I hear them speak and I want to punch them. Now, of course I'm not serious about punching anyone. What a dream though 🫣🤭 I watch too many movies 🎬
💯💯☝🏼☝🏼
When you think the stupids have gone as low as they can go, they get even stupider! The Trump Party is the worst of us.
I'm going with Putin, but it was a tight race.
It's really difficult to choose.
It is. They all suck.
This is why technology like Starlink and SpaceX should not be controlled by one man or small group. It gives them way too much power over country's national sovereignty.
Musk is a narcissistic, lunatic, madman, just like trump. And he has essentially weaponized Starlink against Ukraine!
“Ukrainian officers warn Starlink slowdown ‘comparable to a nuclear strike against us’”
https://www.politico.eu/article/ukraine-starlink-restrictions-disrupt-drone-strikes/
And also the U S, he used starlink to manipulate the election of 2024 and is doing same in 2026.
I think that all contracts with Starlink and SpaceX should not be renewed and cancelled if possible without penalty. Musk runs these companies like they are his personal fiefdom, meanwhile he's making billions of dollars. Why should he get the charity he denies to the rest of humanity? Make him pay for his own junk instead of taxpayers.
I think considering the immense power he wields as a force for evil cancel the contracts, penalty or no penalty. The faster the world moves away from the US and all it represents the better.
I still am wondering (although, not really wondering) why Trump had Starlink installed in the White House complex. Who would need to use it beyond the free and secure communications already available, except someone who wants to communicate with others (like, maybe, another head of state cough cough Putin) completely unmonitored and undocumented.
My immediate thought going essay back when this was first publicized

Please call your representatives in Congress. Many Republicans may be largely useless, but we need to support the people of Ukraine.
Yes and please donate 10$ to help feed a family of four for a month. 10$ we can’t feed our children for breakfast for 10$ they are feeding a family of 4 for the whole month.

I agree, but think Musk is a citizen. BTW, I am NO fan of Musk.
I support the organization
UnitedHelpUlraine, is based in Maryland.
United 24 is organization that I can recommend supporting, also.
Musk is a citizen but since the U.S. has been embarking on a program of denaturalizing citizens, he should join the queue.
Since he falsely obtained a student visa, never attended a US school, and stayed after it expired, he qualifies (according to the Trump admin) for denaturalization. How he got citizenship .... well, probably bought it. He still holds SA citizenship, I believe.

I wonder if PedoPINO and his cult will send Musk, Melania, Rubio, and Cruz back to their own countries, since they are not "American" according to Republican cult doctrine? 🤔
Unlikely, since the Trump administration continues to import white South Africans and to throw re-settlement money at them.
So is Ilhan Omar. That's not stopping trump and his regime. What's stopping trump from going after musk? The millions donated to trump sycophants running for congress.
Thank you for that information. I donated!

Musk is a total NOBODY. If it weren’t for his money, he’d be a speck of dirt under a pile of 💩.
Iran gives oil to Russia for missiles and intel. Russia refines the oil and makes diesel. We are going to buy that diesel from Russia. That is aiding and abetting the enemy which is TREASON.

We the People Do Not Consent.
We all are talking about midterms and pretending that the U S is a democracy and that winning some seats in the midterms will change things.
We, the U S are now under a “cobal dictatorship “ mostly controlled by Elon Musk with DJT as a front spokesman.
Jesus fucking Christ he has completely lost it. Cared for my father with dementia. Holy shit someone needs to take the reins of this batshit individual who is ruining so many lives. I’m quite familiar with going to court and obtaining a guardianship. Just wow.
He's getting worse by the hour.

I have been rewatching "Breaking Bad"...!
Great series...and the follow up series Better Call Saul. I often say that to the WH gangstas.
Sad to read yesterday the young fellow who played Walter White Jr has died at only 34. A serious youth advocate for disabled representation in film.
Agree 💯, Nicole
It takes the breath away, doesn't it, elliemae? Bon courage, as the French Resistance said xx
I know the feeling, Nicole. 🤬
