And Here I Thought He Was Smart

 

    Well, the idiot savant of the tech world, Elon Musk, has decided to form the “America Party” in protest against Donald Trump and the Republicans.

      His much-publicized feud with Trump stems in large part with his dissatisfaction over the recently-passed “Big, Beautiful Bill.”  Ever since he first made known his displeasure over what he calls a spending disaster, the split appears to be irrevocable.  Musk has apparently taken his electric ball and gone home.  All the while launching cheap hits on X (Twitter, whatever).

    Trump, of course, is being Trump.  I doubt anyone is surprised at Orange Jesus’ behavior.

    Musk, on the other hand, is acting like a butthurt teenage girl.  Not a good look for either of these two.  I’ve always thought Mr. X (Twitter, whatever) was a bit of an oddball.  This, though?  This is Rainman territory.

Unsure of his opinion about K-Mart, though.

    I’m sure the Democratic Party is over the moon with joy.

"We can still be batshit crazy, because the Tesla guy is worse!"

    This is not meant to be a full-throated endorsement or examination of the BBB.  We’ll leave that for another time.  Suffice to say that I am overall in favor of legislation which admittedly has its share of flaws.  Anything that every single Democrat categorically rejects has my endorsement, though.

    So, there’s that.

    No, I’m writing this to state my dismay at this idiotic move to unseat Republicans.  How Musk can possibly think this will do anything except return the Democrats, a party which can’t even define a woman, to power is mind-blowing.

    I would rather that he work within the GOP to change it.  Thank the Lord, Donald Trump will be gone in less than four years*.  By working with The Donald’s successors, the whiz kid of Space-X could effect real change.  If he’s being sincere, and not some weirdo with an ax to grind, that is.  The course he’s on, though, promises to bring the circus back to town in Washington.

One of the clowns

    I realize he’s from South Africa, but surely he (or his advisors) HAS to know what happened the last time butt-hurt people sought to split the Republican vote.

    1912:  Theodore Roosevelt courted those unhappy with William Howard Taft.  We got Woodrow Wilson.

    1992:  H. Ross Perot offered a possible alternative to Geoge H.W. “Read My Lips” Bush.  We got Bill Clinton.  Not as bad as the racist Wilson but…

"Depends on your point of view."

    In summary, if Elon Musk insists on this foolish poke-in-the-eye to establishment Republicans, I hope the “America Party” is as successful as the “Pat Paulsen Campaign.” 

This was during a simpler time.
We didn't think women should have penises, either.

        

 *Unless Orange tries for a third erm.  THAT would be a disaster of unimaginable consequence.  Surely, only his brain-dead zombies would be in favor of that.  He’d lose everyone else.  Please, Lord…
