...but if the shoe was on the other foot, you'd be screaming bloody murder and FOX et al would never stop talking about it...
imagine these are the early days of the Biden presidency. the press is herded into the Oval Office. standing behind Joe is George Soros — and it immediately becomes clear that this is Soros’ presser. he’s the one doing all the talking — Joe just sits behind his desk, not saying a word, eventually nodding off. oh, and there’s some small fucking child wandering around, picking his nose.
you know exactly how the all the usual suspects would have reacted. the wingnut screech-monkeys would have screamed for Biden to be impeached, and for Soros to be arrested. Sean Hannity would have shit a massive brick on live television. James Comer Fudd and Shirt Sleeve Jimmy Jordan would have had a fistfight on the floor of the House over who could be the first to hold hearings.
but that press conference is exactly what happened yesterday, except with Donny Convict and the Space Nazi — and the fidgety little son he actually calls “X” — and everyone shrugged, as if it were just another day in the Extremely Fucked-Up States of America.
what’s the kindest thing you can say about yesterday’s three-ring shit-show? probably that Musk somehow managed to keep from himself sieg heiling — and also that someone in the press actually committed a journalism and called Elon on his bullshit.
reporter: “you said an example of fraud that you have cited was $50 million of condoms was sent to Gaza — but after fact-checking this, apparently it was Gaza in Mozambique, and the program was to protect them against HIV. so can you correct this statement? it wasn’t sent to Hamas, actually. it was sent to Mozambique.”
Elon: “first of all, some of the things I say will be incorrect.”
no fucking shit, Sherlock. that’s the way the big ball bounces when you pull “facts” out of your ass.
is there any question as to who is really running the country right now?
the guy who slept his way through his criminal trial is now sleeping his way through his presidency — and the same media who hounded Biden for months, demanding he prove he had the cognitive acuity to lead a country, can’t be bothered to ask the same of Donny.
in fact what the press did was to declare the whole thing adorable.
while Donny slumbered mightily, Elon droned on about how his legion of flying monkey incels from the Department of Breaking Shit They Don’t Understand are rooting out fraud — mountains of fraud. so much fraud, you wouldn’t believe it. fraud like you’ve never seen.
the thing you need to know is that Elon defines “fraud” as ‘someone who isn’t me got money.’
Musk: “At this point, I am 100% certain that the magnitude of the fraud in federal entitlements (Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Welfare, Disability, etc) exceeds the combined sum of every private scam you’ve ever heard by FAR. It’s not even close.”
what’s Elon’s proof that all this fraud is going on? he doesn’t have any. he doesn’t need any. he’s “100% certain.” what other proof does anyone need? Tiedrich
