A TRIFECTA OF INCOMPETENCE

Make America Twitter Spaces

The Atlanta Journal Constitution wins for their headline describing last night: “Zoom Call Crossed With a Space-X Explosion.”

As has been said often, a picture is worth 10,000 words, but given my joy at getting to kick three morons too stupid to know how stupid they are, high on their own supply, who think that because they're rich it's impossible for them to be incompetent at anything, who completely demonstrate the meaning of the words, “what a bunch of clowns,” you’re going to get the 10,000 words as well as the pictures.

Especially since one of them is the Dumbest Silly Con Valley Bro In Existence.

If anyone had any doubts, last night demonstrated that Elon Muck doesn’t have the brains to swat flies successfully. His “high tech” idea to launch a 21st Century political campaign was to do a radio broadcast that wasn’t up to the standards of 1923?

While DeSatan didn’t lose the 2024 Republican presidential primary last night, his campaign kickoff on Twitter was not only an unmitigated disaster but also has real and potentially lasting effects on his efforts going forward.

The used car salesman from Flori-dumb who would definitely run a bait and switch on you if you walked onto his lot, whose campaign motto is "Make America Florida" can't even be bothered to launch his campaign on home turf? The same turf he holds so dear he wants the rest of the country to reflect it? This was exactly the launch event DeSatan deserved.

Announcing a 21st century run for the presidency on Twitter was supposed to be an edgy, attention-grabbing ploy that would get DeSatan loads of attention while cozying up to the edgelord himself Elon Muck. Instead it was a glitch-filled amateur hour run by two idiots to introduce a third that primarily showcased the limitations of Muck’s toy after a year of his genius at the controls, and that DeSantis is a Not Ready For Prime Time Player.

DeSatan and Muck did a radio broadcast with poor reception. FDR did it better 90 years ago. Of course, the woke mind virus wasn’t around then to infect people trying to communicate.

You only get so many chances in a presidential campaign, and the biggest is your announcement. Done right you get a week’s worth of uncritical press coverage with straight takes quoting your speech and noting how much money you’ve raised.

DeSatan really needed this to work, to prove that despite being in free-fall in the polls, he is still a serious alternative to the Orange Menace. He desperately needed to show competence and readiness, to prove that running for President of the United States wasn’t too big for him. Instead, he proved the exact opposite. Rather than being the start of a new phase of his campaign in which he truly became competitive with Trump, the announcement looked like another data point for his decline. That isn’t going away.

Putting it as simply as possible, DeSatan’s Twitter “launch” was one of the worst unforced errors I (or any other observer) has seen at this level of politics. Just a huge unforced error. It’s a reminder that the reason some things are “traditional” - like the traditional way of announcing for president with a speech in an early-voting state followed by a lot of TV appearances - is because, well, it works. There are some things Silly Con Valley cannot improve on.

What happened last night is what is known as Campaign Malpractice.

Now DeSatan is covered in Muck’s muck. The public has come to see Muck’s no tech genius, and last night was (hopefully!) the nail in the coffin to his self-generated mythology.

Really - last night was great! I love it when the wingnuts completely expose themselves as the morons they are. And I really love Elon Muck revealing himself as the complete tech non-genius he really is. And David Sack demonstrating that the Silly Con Valley Bros are the otherwise incompetent little geeks who should have stayed in mommy's basement they are was wonderful.

Topping it off with Democrats getting to make Marjorie Traitor Goon the object of laugher she should be when she demonstrated her ignorance of the English language once again (“You will act with decorum!”) was the cherry atop a beautiful sundae. I really loved that.

The only thing that could have made last night better would have been if the three morons had been stuffed in one of the Unreconstructed Afrikaner’s toy rockets and fired into the sun. Make the Universe Great Again.

I’m going to go out on a limb here and predict that my birthday present (month after next) will be that DeSatan has become “Ron Who????”
