Total. Disconnect.

1. Wow, from what planet are they?

[dchill]

9. I'm thinking Koozebane.

[Maninacan]

31. Koozebane

You made me look it up!

[dchill]

32. It's good for you! 😁

[NotHardly]

11. What galaxy... they are not from this one

[chowder66]

2. Just One Giant Clusterfuck.

[RANDYWILDMAN]

3. reality star and a fool with money

What could go wrong...EVERYTHING !

This is our government now. incompetence is the rule not the exception

[2naSalit]

4. JFC.

Won't be long before the pitchfork brigade finds its way to the WH.

[Walleye]

5. MIT where he claims his uncle went, man, he is out there

[multigraincracker]

13. And his father died with onset Alzheimer's. Shared more genes with father than uncle.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

15. He remember best things he learned as a child: "Your uncle went to MIT, maybe you can too." It's senility, like that.nt

[Strelnikov_]

19. If he were my elder . .

I’d be shopping for a memory care unit.

[JHB]

25. Not to mention he talks about his uncle as if it was just genes that got him into MIT...

...and not the hard work to get the grades, and then sitting his ass down in those lecture halls and labs and doing the hard work to get his bachelor's at Brooklyn Collegiate and Polytechnic Institute and master's degree from Columbia Graduate School of Arts and Sciences and finally his Ph.D. at MIT, where John G. Trump stayed for a few decades as a professor.

But it's thanks to sharing some "good genes" with the non-crook side of the family the bloated mango imagines himself to be a "genius."

[Carlitos Brigante]

6. And the morons in this country are still more interested in who is banging who in

Hollywood than the fucking horror show they've unleashed. Until one of their relatives dies due to negligence. Then of course they'll blame the "gubmint". We are really cooked.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

24. It's because boomers took care of them; left them a working country culminating in Biden economy

And the Greatest Generation, who saved democracy and made the ground fertile for boomer politics and economics.

The populace, by and large, take it for granted that the country works.
They don't realize just how good they have it.

They had little civics education about how democracy requires involvement and how important it is. They haven't learned that we protect the rights of others so that our own rights may be protected.

[MineralMan]

7. What is the root source of this?

I don't believe I've heard of "evan loves worf" as a source of news.

Perhaps you can clarify where this came from?

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

8. I'd believe "Evan Loves Worf" more than I'd believe Karoline Leavitt. nt

[MineralMan]

10. Not really an answer to my question

Is it?

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

14. No, but let me offer a different source. Its quality may still be suspect.

https://www.newsweek.com/elon-musks-doge-tried-fire-air-traffic-controllers-report-2041505

[Amaryllis]

12. Ditto.

[dpibel]

17. Here's another suspect source

https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/07/us/politics/trump-musk-doge-power.html

It was very very hard to find that using a search engine.

[MineralMan]

20. That is a real news source.

Not a random post by someone with a screen name that references a fictional Star Trek character.

I asked for a source. The OP didn't bother to respond, so I found something else to do.

Shit is real or it is not.

[dpibel]

22. Thanks for the moment of hilarity

[DarthDem]

29. I Sure Hope That Poster Got What He Needed

Taking oneself so seriously - instead of actually checking the news - is very important.

[PJMcK]

16. Do either Trump or Musk know what air traffic control does?

It is a very complex and far-reaching system that requires training and discipline. And a bit of creativity.

Trump and Musk are idiots.

[clevergrrrl]

18. Yeah, its' every MIT graduate's dream to be a air traffic controller

fusking clowns

[Chemical Bill]

33. And it's not like...

an MIT grad can make a good salary anywhere else.

[calimary]

21. Sooooooooooooooooo fucked-up.

Just so discouraging sometimes. I really have to fight that creeping discouragement hard, these days.

[Martin Eden]

23. It's difficult to decide between Idiocracy, Kakistocray, or Psychopathocracy

I guess Trumpocracy embodies all three.

[FakeNoose]

26. All they need to do is crash one plane and this will all be over

... I'm talking about Air Force One, of course.

[Blasphemer]

27. When Sean Duffy is the voice of reason, you know we're f'ed. nt

[JI7]

28. Doesn't MIT have DEI ?

[patphil]

30. Not geniuses, just very competent people who can correctly process a lot of information very quickly.

You'd be better off with a computer game champion than a MIT genius. Unless the MIT guy also happened to have all the skills of a computer game champion.

[live love laugh]

34. "... people hired under DEI..." is an insane statement.

DEI politicizes are like overall mission statements.

Every employee working for a company with DEI policies is “hired under DEI.”
