Elon Musk is laying off 10% of Tesla’s workforce because nobody in their right mind wants to buy an ugly overpriced death trap from a greedy gaslighting fascist mutant.

ProPublica reports that Thomas was in debt, frustrated with his salary, and implying he’d resign from the Supreme Court if his financial situation didn’t change—just before Harlan Crow and other conservatives started lavishing him with expensive gifts and luxury vacations.

In 1937, Langston Hughes declared: “We Negroes in America do not have to be told what fascism is in action. We know. Its theories of Nordic supremacy and economic suppression have long been realities to us.”

So Giuliani has enough to make a 9.99 million dollar down payment on his defamation judgment, then. Better get on that, Rudy.

Of course. He has been moving things offshore for some time. Chapter 11 is 'reorganization,' not liquidation. That's interesting. $500m debts and no income.
I still marvel at the fact that RG was 71 when he dove into MAGA. All he had to do was retire and accept his undeserved legacy. What a chump.

It wasn't Mein Kampf he's supposed to have kept on the night stand, according to Ivana. It was a collection of Hitler's public speech transcripts. He's always wanted to be a dictator.

To commemorate your impeachment vote today, I made a donation to President Biden's re-election campaign. Rest assured I will make further donations to him for every further ludicrous impeachment step you and your filthy, corrupt party make.

My surgery went well, as far as I know. I did get the nerve block, and my doctor recommended that I start taking the pain meds as soon as I was able, so I had the residual anesthesia, the nerve block, and the pain meds all going at the same time.

Yes, I agree. Double-speak and the propaganda will continue. From Brazil to the U.S. and beyond, the world is a very troubling place.

We have an entire evangelical wing of my maternal family that most of us have been no-contact with since the late 90s. Last saw them at my grandma's funeral in 2003.
Checked them out on FB and -- no surprise -- they're all hardcore members of the MAGA cult.

We have a Southern Baptist branch of the family (not sure how that happened). No one in our family has interacted with them in decades.

I said over a year ago that the Kindness Kommittee was going to "live, laugh, love" us into an autocracy. My concerns remain. We need everyone fully in. Not on the condition that you're always called nice or treated as an expert in all spaces. On the understanding that it's past time for this shift.
