-I'm honestly surprised Trump let's Musk stand next to him, makes Trump look like a manlet.

Not only that, Elon's outfitting himself in black as if he's some kind of bad ass no name secret gov't security agent straight out of some 1/2 star B grade spy movie. Just who the fuck is he trying to kid here? All he is is a pencil neck pecker head trying hard to appear what he ain't, exactly what his errand boy standing next to him is doing.

-Yeah, the right has both villainized clean energy and all things adjacent, drill baby drill, but is now in a hard pivot to Tesla good somehow.

Trying to untie that knot is a job for God and God alone.
This isn't the first time conservatives have found themselves on both sides of an issue simultaneously, and it won't be the last. The cruelty is the only point.

Of course, the only way Trump and Elon can be reined in is having their own MAGAts feeling the pain of Trump's efforts to dismantle the gov't that's worse than their disingenuously hyped up desire to sustain Trump's revenge tour.

What with the shutdown looming and Trump's hopes that the Democrats take the bait, it's going to be a tough sell to convince the MAGAts to give up what seems to be their rigged game to punish Trump's tormentors at this moment in time.

Well at first look, all I was seeing were two clowns competing for camera face time against a backdrop of a NAZI inspired/designed car that's leaking battery guts of which they're trying to palm off on some clueless MAGAt . I had to enlarge the screen scaling to realize it really was two clowns imitating each other. Like Laurel and Hardy v2.0 except in drag.

Went to a Tesla Takedown in Devon PA this past Saturday. The person who organized said this was their 4th week. Week 1only had 16 people. We got about 225 people. It grows every week.






Local popo across the street watching us lovers of freedom and Democracy. He did go into the dealership to talk. I suspect he was told nothing they can do because we were careful not to break any laws. It will be interesting the reaction if the crowd keeps growing. Plenty of passing cars honking approval. We did get some middle fingers. Good reaction to bad was around 15-1

I don't know if it's just me but I haven't seen a single rally being held by Trump's MAGAts lately. One would think that with all of the protests going on against President Elon and Fist Lady Trump, there should be a large number of very boisterous hyped up counter-protests being mounted by Elon's and Trump's supporters railing against the liberal's attempts at stopping Trump from fulfilling the promises he made to them.

Where the hell are they? Where's the Proud Boys and the Nazis, the Supremacists and the conservative religious fundies taking to the streets in defense of Trump's efforts to help Putin defeat Ukraine? Where are they when they should all be out helping Elon fire hundreds of thousands of working class folks from their gov't jobs? I mean, that's what they wanted, right?

Why would they hold a rally? There was a contest, Trump won, he's doing what he said he was going to do. I would assume they're all sitting at home watching events unfold.
That said, I'd be willing to bet a quite a few of them are thinking he's going to far to fast.

Most reputable polls are showing Trump consistently losing approval week after week, and the pain hasn’t even started.

I’m inclined to believe this will be a wild summer.

Are any elected Dems showing up at these protests to show solidarity?

Whoever does has a good headstart on 2028.

Trump due to attend NCAA wrestling at the Wells Fargo Center (home of the Flyers and Sixers) this Saturday. That area in south Philadelphia hosts Citizens Bank Park (Phillies) Lincoln Financial Field (Eagles). The area is easily accessible by public transport via Broad Street line. Also, there are very large areas to park if driving.

This area is ripe for a massive Trump/Musk protest. Word is starting to spread.

It was not told to the public an unelected foreigner would be put in charge of DOGE.
It was not told to the public teenagers without proper security clearances would gain access to your social security numbers. One who was fired from a previous job for leaking company secrets.
It was not told to the public Project 2025 would be implemented. They were lied to we would not be using P2025.
It was not told to the public VA workers would get fired.
It was not told to the public workers in charge of our nuclear weapons would be fired and then can't get them back.

I was told Trump isn't racist and he would not purge the works of honored black Americans from the federal records.

These are just some of the reasons I am protesting.


BTW - You still owe us answers on the rights we have lost when you said we didn't lose any.
You still haven't answered if it is plausible Trump raped a 13 year old girl.

I don't owe you any response at all, and I can't imagine why you would think I do. Though I already posted information on why I think the child rape story is a complete fabrication.

Have a nice day.

It sure is telling that you refuse to give any response on those things though. If you had a good justification you would just give it but since you don't but also don't want to admit you fucked up by voting for Trump you ignore it.

It's admirable when someone admits they made a mistake - while it's true that you should have known ahead of time to not vote for a rapist felon who attempted a coup it's not too late.

I'm under the impression many people voted for him based on his claims that he would combat high consumer prices. All indications seem to be that he will in fact be doing the opposite.

“Starting on day one, we will end inflation and make America affordable again, to bring down the prices of all goods.” Trump Rally in Bozeman, MT, (August 9, 2024).
“Under my administration, we will be slashing energy and electricity prices by half within 12 months, at a maximum 18 months”
“Prices will come down. You just watch: They’ll come down, and they’ll come down fast, not only with insurance, with everything.” Trump Rally in North Carolina, (August 14, 2024).
“Starting the day I take the oath of office, I will rapidly drive prices down and we will make America affordable again. We’re going to make it affordable again.”
“We’re going to get your energy prices down. We’re going to get your energy prices down by 50%.” Speaking at Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, (August 17, 2024).
“Energy is going to bring us back. That means we’re going down and getting gasoline below $2 a gallon, bring down the price of everything from electricity rates to groceries, airfares, and housing costs.”
“We will eliminate regulations that drive up housing costs with the goal of cutting the cost of a new home in half. We think we can do that.” Speaking at Economic Club Of New York, (September 5, 2024).
"While working Americans catch up, we’re going to put a temporary cap on credit card interest rates. We can’t let them make 25 and 30%.” Speaking in Uniondale, New York, (September 18, 2024).

...and so on.

It's both sad and interesting that the fact that all of these actions are hugely, colossally illegal and unconstitutional doesn't merit a mention.

Like - not just illegal procedurally but actual crimes.
