basilico:
Elon Musk to form a new party.
I believe that's a good thing. A single congressman or Senator can block a bill , or arm twist the administration to include illogical demands.
By Elon Musk reasoning, the slim majorities in congress and Senate forces the govt to give in , resulting in porky bills.
Analysts had predicted a fallout way back in January between Musk and Trump.
Both want the same thing at the end , one is not in politics however.
Bad move from Elon which will only hand over power permanently to the democrats

He should read about Ross Perot in 1992

Now, MAGA is calling out their own fake American propaganda posters.
But where was all this concern when these same people who didn't live in the US were previously pushing their MAGA propaganda?
Reminds me of this thread. A lot of people who've never stepped foot in the US, posting propaganda.
Seems to be a large contingent of MAGA conservatives.

But, let the MAGA infighting begin.
And swearing by it

Basil will swear he knows what’s happening in my neighborhood and my children’s school more than I know. Imagine the ludicrousness grin

True about Ross Perot and his giant sucking sound quote which proved prophetic.
In 2024 only 4 out of 435 house members lost in their primaries. At elections only 11 incumbents lost their seats . Reasons are many upto and including election fundraising, gerry mandering , DNC and RNC backing and traditional low primary turnouts.
Elon's idea is to get 2 or 3 seats in congress and Senate. Voters want theiir presidential candidate to win house seats majority ,they have to vote for their party despite hating incumbents.
Someone like unmarried Lindsey Graham's ( senator since 2003) badly timed abortion bills seek to infuriate democrat Karens into voting out Republicans. Lindsey Graham:

2013: Introduced the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, proposing a federal ban on abortions after 20 weeks.

2015: Sponsored the same 20-week abortion ban bill in the Senate.

2017, 2019, 2021: Reintroduced versions of the 20-week abortion ban bill in each of these Congresses.

2022: Introduced the Protecting Pain-Capable Unborn Children from Late-Term Abortions Act, proposing a nationwide ban on abortions after 15 weeks, with exceptions for rape, incest, or risks to the mother’s life. This was a shift from his previous 20-week proposals

He’s absolutely right. Democrats need to stop worrying about looking like the bad guys and call a thing what it is. Trump and Elon killed 51 (and still counting) Texans yesterday.
In a scathing social media post, Seth Abramson, biographer of President Donald Trump, directly blamed Trump and tech billionaire Elon Musk for the deaths of more than 50 Texans in recent catastrophic flooding — arguing their politically driven decisions led to avoidable tragedy.

“I have no difficulty saying that Trump and Musk caused some of the 50+ flood deaths in Texas,” Abramson wrote in a widely shared thread on the social platform X.

“And here's why: these two men with no expertise in disaster preparedness were told not to cut the positions they cut, and were told people would die if they did. And then people died," he said.

Abramson’s remarks come amid growing scrutiny over public service cuts made in Republican-led states, where disaster readiness programs have been downsized or gutted.

In Texas, where flash floods have left at least 50 people dead, analysts and former emergency managers have raised concerns that early warning systems, regional FEMA coordination, and infrastructure resilience have been compromised due to staffing and budget reductions.

Abramson urged Democratic leaders to take a more forceful stance over the tragedy. “Democrats are never going to start winning elections again until they're willing to call a thing just what it is,” he wrote. “Texas Democrats should be clear and persistent in saying that public service cuts overseen by non-experts desperate for billionaire tax cuts killed people.”

He preemptively addressed Republican rebuttals accusing Democrats of politicizing tragedy. “And if Republicans respond by saying that Democrats are politicizing these deaths,” Abramson added, “the Democrats should respond: THAT'S BECAUSE THE DEATHS ARE POLITICAL. POLITICIANS CAUSED THEM.”

Abramson, who has written extensively on Trump’s business and political life, framed the Texas disaster as a warning of worse to come.

“A key reason we need to start having this conversation now—and why cowardly Democratic politicians need to get over their aversion to having this conversation—is because the number of dead attributable to Trump and Musk this year will be in the thousands or tens of thousands,"

It must be a terrible life living as a maga cultic fellow. I wonder where these people kept their sense and sensibility.

So is basilico just going to accept what the FBI says that there's no longer an Epstein list? And we will just let him continue his ridiculousness here without consequences?

How do I accept that there was no list.
Ghislaine Maxwell was jailed for trafficking minors to Epstein. They only included girls she procured on behalf of him.
Witness testimony in her case said she sent girls to his friends .
This coming from Bongino and Kash Patel is unbelievable.
Maybe he didn't have a list which FBI could point out. But girls were definitely trafficked to his paedo friends.

Musk has enough problems with his shareholders.
An investor was meant to go public in Arizona, but has suspended the deal as a result of the party formed.

Between Trump, Elon-DOGE and RFK, the number of easily preventable deaths of Americans in the coming years is going to be astronomical. Find out how you can protect your family and children from these bumbling buffoons (especially that RFK guy).

I think the American association of pediatricians are coming up with their own vaccine schedule and recommendations guidelines. Basically what has always been in place (just in case). So, talk to your pediatrician about what your children need. Don’t go by the current CDC guidelines because your fascist president and his lackeys think they get to decide what is science and what is real based on nothing but their own personal opinion. No qualifications whatsoever.

After this ediocy of a regime is over, it might take a while but things will eventually go back to normal. In the meantime you don’t want to lose a child because ego-driven imběciles think they are above the science.

And even if you support these idiots, your children don’t deserve to die preventable deaths or get permanently disabled because of your own stupidity. After all the NL back and forth, pls log off and go find reliable sources of information on how to prevent diseases and protect your children. Pls don’t be stupid. Thank you.

While with a competent president the response to Texas flood has been swift and immediate unlike with Biden and Carolina flood
