The Afrikaaner needs a new nickname.

Robert Reich calls him Muskrat, but I don't think muskrats deserve to be associated with TSF's handler. So, I decided to rearrange the letters in his name to something more appropriate. From now I will refer to him as Elon Skum. I hope you like it.

He's an English South African, not an Afrikaner.

Elmo Mumps - because he is most appealing to toddlers (in addition to being one himself) and is a virus that was first identified in the 30's, makes everyone miserable, can cause serious complications and long term disability, and we thought we'd largely eliminated except for stupid people!

That's what I call him. I can't even bring myself to spell it right or use the shift or bar keys, he's not worth the effort. Fuck that guy in the face.

Unforgettable quote:

“The more I have gotten to know President Trump, the more I like him. Frankly, I love the guy,” Mr. Musk said in a live audio conversation on X early Monday morning.

When I see eLoon sporting his black leather jacket I expect him to whip out his comb and and start in making sure his ducktails have just the right upswing.
