Elon Musk is “a dick” and a “billionaire asshole,” to borrow a phrase or two from Sen. Tina Smith (D-Minn.).
It is pretty clear that this is a majority opinion. More and more Republican elected officials are facing backlash from their constituents about Musk’s outsized role in the Trump Administration, slashing and burning federal government jobs and poking around in everyone’s most sensitive data with no oversight. “This is not what we voted for,” they say. “We just wanted cheaper eggs!”
The fight for freedom, justice, fairness, and full access to our society has been going on since before our country existed.
As the saying goes, candy is dandy, but liquor is quicker. But liquor is also a lot more expensive than candy and, unlike a handful of Skittles or M&Ms, you can’t consume it as you drive. You really shouldn’t, anyway. And we’re all going to need a little something to get us through 2025. After all, Trump takes office in January and it’s all downhill from there. And not in a, “Oh, this is easier than going uphill” way, but in a “Oh, shit, we’re plummeting! There’s nothing to stop our momentum as we head straight toward the abyss!” way.
