This is getting too funny not to laugh. Through the pain.

Here's a quote from The Guardian:

"Susan Collins, the moderate Republican senator of Maine told reporters she was “shocked” by the Matt Gaetz nomination.

“I was shocked by the announcement — that shows why the advise-and-consent process is so important,” Collins said. “I’m sure that there will be a lot of questions raised at his hearing.”

Yeah, right, Susan. Just as you did with Kaveman for the SCOTUS.

Here's a headline from the same journal:

"Trump nominates former Democratic congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard for top intelligence post"

Top intelligence, indeed.

I love Snickers, but I don't think I'll still be alive come 2029, and anyway ... I have no doubt that you'd win that bet hands down. I see a dark and rocky road ahead, Clay.

The world has gone insane: "Matt Gaetz Is Trump’s Pick for Attorney General It’s a stunning and provocative move that puts a fierce partisan in position to execute President-elect Donald Trump’s vow to exact retribution on officials who prosecuted him." The good thing is that the R majority is getting even lower!

I suggest you show how two egos like Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy are going to jointly manage anything.

They won't. They'll just take the money and run.

If you didn't see Pedro Molina's cartoon on Billionaires a couple weeks ago, I suggest you take a look.

BTW, any of you read the comic strip "The Phantom"?

There's been a story running for several weeks about a failed lunar mission from a company owned by "Ian Mollusk." Worth the look. It's getting juicier...

The thing is, there's so many conflicts of interest in this viper pit, most of their time will be spent fighting each other in between giving stuff to Putin and Bibi.

Musk wants ALL the launches. And he wants to cut Bezos and the rest out of that. Several of these nuts want to do away with NASA. No NASA no launches. Hmmm, a problem has arisen.

This business of "I'll just do all recess appointments, Senate go home now" - ah, really? Either he's delusional (well, yeah, but even MORE than usual) or he means for his R majority Senate to go home. Say what? He already knows his stuff will have problems with the R's? Really?

A bed of roses this will not be. That's already evident.
