Every time Musk opens his mouth, I know closing my Twitter account was a great decision

I thought he was a prick BEFORE the Twitter purchase. So far, he's a bigger prick than I imagined. Jumping on the Racist Dilbert Bandwagon, using the cancellations of the comic strip as proof that racism exists in America, but only against whites?

And for whatever it's worth, I DID SEE immediate and odious changes to my account BEFORE I closed it.

Republican content PACKED into my feed...every time I logged in there was a Kevin McCarthy tweet at the top of my feed, and his tweets would be there, near the top, SEVERAL DAYS AFTER HE SENT THEM.

Oh FFS Jeb Bush, NO, DeSantis' Florida "model" is not a good one "for our country."

The Jeb Bush quotes are all here:

I'm not going to share them here because it's too close for comfort with the "no Republican talking points" rule.

But JESUS.

I DON'T KNOW if Trump's gonna make it all the way to the GOP nomination. If he DOESN'T, I don't believe for a SECOND that it will be Nikki Haley or Tim Scott. It'll be DeSantis.

And this whole "RON CAN REPLICATE HIS FLORIDA SUCCESS ON A NATIONAL LEVEL" meme is NUTS.

The United States Of No Woke And Don't Say Gay.

Democrats need to be ready for some really straightforward TRENCH WARFARE. Republicans can't be allowed to sell this garbage to voters without getting ALL OF THE FACTS out in the open.

"President Tim Scott." "President Nikki Haley." I want to feel bad for them but can't stop laughing.

I'm trying to think of a single Republican who could run in 2024 who isn't fully tainted with the stench of MAGA, who HAS "crossover appeal" and could get a majority of votes from Independents AND maybe some Democrats as well.

I'm coming up dry, folks.

Tim SCOTT? Sweet Jesus, NO. A less vocal, less ebullient Trump cheerleader than Lindsey Graham, but STILL tethered to Fat Orange Jesus.

Nikki HALEY? Queen of the flip-floppers. Does she LOVE Trump or does she think it's time to move on? YES.

We're shaping up for a GOP Primary bloodbath like the one we had in 2016, with Trump getting the nomination.

And I don't believe for a minute that DeSantis' "woke / don't say gay" clown show bullshit will play on a NATIONAL level.

Jen Psaki on MSNBC, Sundays @ Noon ET? Give her Alex Wagner's T-F 9 PM ET time slot instead.

Ever since landing the T-F Maddow time slot, Wagner has CONSISTENTLY aired FAR TOO MANY Tucker Carlson clips.

I question the importance of keeping her audience up-to-date with Carlson's latest gas passings, but airing clips really isn't MSNBC fare.

She's NOT AS BAD as Chuck Todd or Andrea Mitchell, but she ALSO does NOT belong in Maddow's time slot.

JFC, he actually USED OHIO to PIMP "Trump Spring Water."

Nothing makes victims of a toxic train derailment feel better than a rant about 2020 being stolen.

Nikki Haley's very Trumpian response to big bad sexist ageist meanie Don Lemon's remarks

Nikki Haley Now Selling ‘Past My Prime’ Beer Koozies After Don Lemon’s Remark

I'll repeat myself here...I do not like her. It's not because of her gender. It's not because of her age. It's not because of her ethnicity. It's because of the words that come out when she opens her mouth. It's because she thinks DeSantis' woke / don't say gay sideshow antics "don't go far enough." It's because she's flip flopped relentlessly on Trump, from being one of his most enthusiastic ass kissers to a lukewarm "critic."

I'm also not a fan of Don Lemon. I don't get the appeal. I also don't understand why CNN ended Brianna Keilar's show to make room for Lemon and his two female co-hosts, because there is NO chemistry, and all three of them look like they'd rather be anywhere but in a room all together.

And yeah, I do think Lemon's remarks about Haley WERE stupid and ageist and sexist, but I haven't set the bar very high for him. When you expect VERY little out of someone, it's hard to be disappointed when they put their foot in their mouth. And Don somehow managed to go into stupid, insensitive, sexist, ageist overdrive.

BUT NONE OF THAT MADE ME "LIKE" HALEY, for the reasons I listed above.

Her decision to cash in on it and plaster the meme on beer koozies only amplified what I felt about her.

I'll save my sympathy / empathy for someone who deserves it, not a craven and crass Trumpy Republican.

"Why Not ME?" Nikki Haley serves up a non-answer word salad justifying her "candidacy."

I don't think a single word of the "BOMBSHELL" reporting on Fox will matter to their viewers

I could be wrong.

My sister is someone who "gets her news" from Fox. She doesn't "trust" any other channel.

I'm seeing headline after headline about their "lies," but I'm struggling to see how any of this will matter to the people ol' Rupe has already successfully brainwashed.

Also, it's another "too big to fail" mess...no one's gonna "take them down." There's too much at stake.

Am I missing something? If so, please tell me, because I'm seeing a whole lot of noise about something their viewers won't believe.

SS & Medicare Crusader Trump in 2019: Cuts could be a "fun second term project"

I'm NOT defending Haley...far from it...but Trump is attacking her for backing Paul Ryan's proposal to cut "entitlements," and in 2019, HE SAID GUTTING MEDICARE COULD BE A FUN “SECOND-TERM PROJECT”

I have seen a LOT OF COVERAGE of Trump admonishing Republicans in this area. It is RARELY accompanied by his own 2019 marks and great enthusiasm for slicing and dicing.
