If we really want to fuck with Trump, we need to address Musk as "President Musk" and Trump as "Vice President". This will cause Trump's brain to explode. The sooner we break up this bromance, the better. Musk is everything you said he is, and he grifts off our government more than anyone else. Maga is so stupid they actually believe he's smart. Great article, Tom.

that actually strikes me as a terrific idea.

This chaos is exactly what tffg wants and needs to declare himself king. He never had any interest in learning how government works or even figure out what the oath of office even means. Who can shut him down now?? The supremes, DOJ, Biden, Harris ?? Or do we just sleepwalk into HELL?

Thanks for the good laughs, Tom, it makes me forget (for a short time) the misery yet to come.

As I read your column I was thinking "yes", uh-huh, ok, etc. Maybe just let them swing in the wind for awhile. I really like that idea. Of course, I don't live SS check to SS check so I'll be ok. It's the poor schlubs that voted for Orange Julius that I pity. Thoughts and prayers.

Clear picture of what happens when the inmates run the asylum.

I had a dream last night that General Don Quixote and the People’s Calvary rode into Washington on Inauguration Day moments before Nazi SC Injustice Roberts administered the oath of office and arrested President-elect Elmo Muck, VP Donald Trump, Federal Animal Control Officer J.D. Vance, certain members of the SCOTUS including Roberts, and a large number of congress members and charged them with treason. They then installed Elizabeth Warren as acting president just so there was at least one sane adult left standing on the podium. Then, suddenly, I woke up as my beautiful actress friend Emma informed me I was having a wet dream and laughing hysterically in my sleep…

Serious note - just spent several days in Philadelphia reveling in the country’s history. Made me all the madder and sadder about what’s happening. TEMU says it all.

You’re giving Felon34 - great label - too much credit, when you leave out that he had less than half the popular vote.

I know you are a screen writer Tom, but in all seriousness you couldn’t make this up, no one in a million years would fund such a story. The maggots in all of their brilliance are creating the world they want to live in, we’ll see how well that works, my guess is not too well. 💥🤷‍♂️🙏

Imagination definitely cannot keep up with these people.

Hilarious and spot on Tom. It’s time to put Starlink under receivership to protect an essential service from an unstable owner. It will be interesting to see what Trump does once he realizes he can’t control Musk.

And that, if fact, Trump is controlled by Muck. Yeah...I wonder when the the bloated Orange will wake up and realize he's backed himself into a worse pantsload than a crappy diaper.

Whoa! Vlad has to be green-eyed with jealousy now that Elmo has control of TFG's neuralink brain chip/toddler size. How long will Putin wait before he reasserts himself as the handler in chief? Or is Elmo just his guy in the regional field office?

Joe and Jill are probably whistling while they work packing up their socks and staplers so they can head to the seaside, or maybe even Canada where they are probably beloved.

Just a note. The best accounting of how much Elonia spent to assist Trump is somewhat near or north of $277 Million.

Of course, TSLA stock is up almost 100% so he is probably $180B up since November 5, so it was a great ROI.

Expand full comment

He's actually up $200+ billion. :-(

Expand full comment

So, $277M to net $200B in gains. That is a fucking impressive ROI.

Makes the bonfire of money that is Twitter seem like a wise investment

That is a Cleaver! Thank you, tcinla. I feel good.

Excellent Tom, as are the

memes. The TEMU

especially.

Definitely start calling Muck

Mr. President. See how long

he lasts with Trump.

I see you’ve weighed in on the Bond. villian or Batman villain controversy. Does seem to be a bit of Hugo Drax there.
