Trump / Musk (other than DOGE)

Can't wait to hear RFK Jr's plan to combat chemtrails.

There will be some lag time as we fall below herd immunity. I don't know how close we are to that.

honestly measles won’t take that long.
Wonder who goes to jail in Texas when an unvaxxed kid causes a pregnant teacher to miscarry

At some point the Elon Trump bromance is going to blow up. And it will be fucking wonderful.

There is no way in Hell these two will coexist for long now that the public adoration phase is over.

Over/under one year?

We'll see. I'm not counting on it happening any time soon; IMO it won't happen unless and until things start to go really wrong. I hope that happens quickly, because the Trump admin quickly and publicly breaking things that work is our best realistic shot out of all of this. But it might not.

unvaxed kid.

GOP loves the unborn. Once born however? Die.

If Kennedy focuses on improving nutrition then it’s fine. The wacko shit on vaccines and all the other conspiracies? No.

Hard to know, but we're talking about two people with the smallest attention span: responsibilities ratio in the history of American politics.

Chances seem high to me that they will just drift apart. DOGE is just a joke anyway, as Elon seems to be admitting when asking for unpaid volunteers to work 80 hour weeks. It's a bunch of performative bullshit; they'll stick with it for a couple of months, and then it will be gone.

Man if he goes after school lunches and doesn’t get the Michelle Obama treatment, then I’ll be sorely disappointed. But of course, he’ll never get the Michelle Obama treatment.

Like the Kolbach election integrity commission?

What, from the last decade of "performative" bullshit by Elon Musk and 40+ years of it from Donald Trump, makes you believe that it will be gone in a couple of months?

 

[sringwal]

Fair enough. But that's why I think this is different. Trump voters can be deceived about a lot of things. If the economy crashes, you can blame Kamala or Soros or whoever. But if there's suddenly a nationwide outbreak of measles, occurring shortly after Trump fucked with the vaccines, I don't think they will need any information to draw the appropriate conclusion.

If only we had a recent example of an republicans making an outbreak worse and successfully pinning it on democrats. Oh, wait. We do. But this time will be different.

I think it happens as soon as Bezos gets an inside track to the graft well. Never forget, Musk has negative social skills, high impulsivity, and a god complex. That’s a combustible mix with ttump’s ignorant, sociopathic narcissism. Bezos looks to share the god complex but replaces the other two characteristics with ruthless cunning.

 

[HeelInTheOzarks]

We are like 3 years after the height of a pandemic that killed over a million Americans and we now have an anti vaxxer leading HHS. That is so disgusting. The unseriousness of these people is so much worse than we ever could put into words.

Not a cabinet position but important:



Also, no matter how many “hereby” and similar words he uses, this is not an official nomination.

He didn’t just say it; he proclaimed it.

 

[HeelInTheOzarks]

This is like watching a basketball team that fouls on every possession and knows the refs can’t call them all. He’s going to nominate so many nutjobs that it’ll be impossible to forcibly oppose them all.

A more normal pick
