USA didn't vote for a female president for the first time but at least you now have a male first lady for the first time.

They all look so happy, like kids having a birthday party in a giant ball pit.

It's a shame no one ever gave Elon Musk the "You're good enough I guess, please stop calling your ex-wife, move on." talk to end his midlife crisis...

Musk actually has the most punchable of faces.

Imagine having $300 billion and 12 kids and this is how you choose to spend the limited time you have.

You think his children would want to hang out with him?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

They want to hang for sure. Maybe him.

My guess is that these guys saw someone like Bernie coming down the line at some point, a populist left wing politician who would have basically ended the billionaires free-for-all in america, and they said 'well we gotta take over the entire government to stop this', and people fell for it.

Pretty much, I hope that by doing so they've escalated the end of Corporate America...

Why is Musk's hands so damn big?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago

Usually what causes this is hgh, but of course I don't want to suggest that some rich assholes take drugs to look "better"

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 hours ago

Because his husband has tiny hands.

He comes from a colonist family of emerald thieves...bigger the hands more emeralds they could steal

Wow, I can say with confidence that this is the first time I've ever wished for a plane to crash. Just one patriotic pilot is all it would take.

I really don't like that these shitstains make me feel such vitriol...

Not shown: perfectly normal JD Vance humping the backrest from behind Trump while violently stuffing his face with a cold cheeseburger.

In fairness to him, he looks genuinely uncomfortable just holding it for this paid publicity shot. Not enough raw bear meat in it for him.

Boycott McDonalds, sponsors of Fascism 2025.

A real meeting of the mindless.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (3 children)

Elon's far from mindless. He's just a self-serving prick who would burn a country down to increase his stan- oh wait.

Yeah. Fuck.

He's potentially the most dangerous person at that table. He doesn't want power in the limelight - though he uses the limelight when he needs to, yes - he wants power behind the scenes. And he's very good at getting what he wants. That much should be unambiguously clear.

And if gaining that power means helping a fascist fucking prick fuck gain dictatorial powers, well I don't think he'd think twice.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Agreed that he's not mindless, but he's a far cry from "genius". He's just a lucky dipshit narcissist.

Junior is posing with an empty box of fries like he never learned how to pose to capture a memory, only to sell a product.

It's been so odd seeing Trump cabinet picks come in because it feels like he is just picking conservative celebrities, rather then actual politicians. Like it's still kinda crazy that fucking Elon Musk is gonna be in government.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's looking more and more like this term will be "Celebrity Apprentice: Washington".

Which, as sad as that is, is still preferable to the alternative where he has a small inner circle of actually smart far right strategists, who he trusts completely and follows their recommendations to the last detail.

I don't know that it holds true across the board, but for Trump at least, it appears that in the right wing you get smarts or charisma/a following...but not both.

Trump is a flashy moron who appeals to the GOP base, which is comprised largely of morons. They need a moron at the top of the ticket to speak the language of their base, but in the process they're stuck with a moron at the top when they win.

They'll still do damage, no doubt, but I feel like the biggest check on Trump's power is that he's too stupid to wield it to maximum effect.

What a proud moment for the USA

This reminds me of so many comments from Americans saying how embarrassing Biden is as a president and that no one takes 🇺🇸'Murica🦅 seriously anymore under the Democrats. It was weird to read as a foreigner because I loosely remember what Trump was like. And now here we are again. Hope Americans are proud.

The White House has one of the best chefs and kitchens in the world, and this dumbass will be ordering McD's and KFC for 4 years.

Musk being best buds with the President of the USA is legit friggin' scary, speaking as a foreigner.

Then you remember that Trump, and it becomes terrifying.

Am I the only one that thinks this looks like a family gathering with Mike Johnson smiling proudly over the family 'kids table'?

Like, exact same vibes as a bunch of random kids all shuffled away to a single kid's table, and then the one adult (and boy is that stretching the definition) watching over them, and all of them trying to smile for the picture some random auntie none of them have met before is taking.
