    I can’t express in words how fucking stupid Trump and his ilk are. I just cannot believe these dumb mother fuckers!

    Echoes of late 2022 when Twitter abruptly fired thousands of people, then turned around days later and tried to rehire many of them. I’m sure it’s purely a coincidence that one person is closely tied to both incidents.

      You could also mention the Tesla Supercharger team.

      And you might also draw parallels that this seems more like spite or other personal whim, rather than motivated by the needs of the organization, or applied with any intelligence

      It’s almost as this is done in a manner to distract from the hidden intention and doing it at Twitter was a test that confirmed its effectiveness. What a weird but definitely not happening possibility. Look over there! 👉 It’s a trans immigrant that wants your dogs and women’s gold medals!!

    Considering they were betrayed by their country after years of patriotic service, you can probably find some of them in Beijing, and I don’t blame them.

      That’d be an interesting choice. You could choose any other country and you go with one of the other autocracies? Good lookin foot I have there. Shame if I pulled this trigger.

        I believe some countries don’t have as many nuclear plants to hire engineers and scientists. France is one of the countries heavily invested in nuclear and so is UK. Maybe China does as well? I don’t know about the latter if they have many nuclear plants and I am too lazy to check at the moment.

      It’s scary and sad as fuck. We are in for dark days i feel.

      I’ve been doing my best to stay present with my family and know how to protect them first. Next I’ll find ways to throw sand in the gears of this shit.

    I bet this dumb fuck pays for a terrorist attack to happen, so he can delcare marshal law. Then he gets unlimited powers, and won’t leave the white house. I’m absolutely sure of it. It’s ww2 all over again.

    Looks like the majority of the storage facilities are in Red states. Even though some are near me, I feel like saying screw it, let them stay unmonitored and lets see what blows up. A blunder of that magnitude would shake up even the most die-hard MAGAt.

      No blunder is big enough to shake up MAGA. Literally nothing will threaten their allegiance to their god-king.

        Eh, I can think of some things that might, its just that incompetence isnt one of them. But like, if Trump suddenly came out as trans or something, that might shake them up a bit.

          He’s ancient, eats like shit and takes amphetamines. His cardiovascular system is shot.

          Trump isn’t competent enough to plan any of this. If you watch him at an EO signing, he looks like he’s hearing about the for the first time as they’re being put in front of him. He gets to surround himself with people who tell him he’s a special boy and gets to receive bribes while golfing every week. He’s a stooge who thinks he’s the King.

          Trump isn’t the scary thing. He’s the clown that the scary thing propped up in order to appear foolish and incompetent while implementing the early phases of it’s takeover. By the time Trump has a heart attack, the scary thing’s plans will have been advanced far enough that opinion polls don’t matter because there will be nobody left to oppose it that it doesn’t own.

      you underestimate the power of the hatred that’s been carefully cultivated and spread by the right and far-right the last sixty years.

      they simply won’t give a shit, even if their dick starts glowing green, as long as ‘they’ get it too.
