About 5 paragraphs in, please find a useful roundup of (polarized!) reactions to yesterday’s White House shitshow.
Whatever it is that allows one to watch that speech and analyze it in any serious way is something I just don’t have.
It’s fun to watch JD Vance stand up every 30 seconds or so and applaud like a trained chimp. He’s not terribly smart, but he is very nimble! But if anyone’s seen Vance’s soul, please report it to the lost’and’found. He needs something to resell after already selling his ass to Trump/Peter Thiel.
I do feel sorry for Elon, though, having to sit through this boring speech. He could be doing something more useful right now, like firing more food safety inspectors or siring more illegitimate children. What a waste.

The Democrats unanimously back an obviously unfair policy opposed by 80 percent of Americans and a majority of their own voters. Why? Because a few super-woke mega-rich “queer” donors and their foundation-funded orgs control the entire joint. They control every Dem Senator.
Color me easily impressed. But I’m surprised Speaker Mike Johnson could speak clearly enough to bounce Rep. Al Green from the chamber with Trump’s cock planted so firmly in his mouth. A talented man!
Would like to dedicate this love song by another Al Green to Mike Johnson and his one true love, Trump’s schwantz:

Disappointing, but not all that surprising that a bunch of Substackers & podcasters who built huge audiences between 2020-24 for being brave anti-establishment truth-tellers can't bring themselves to criticise the establishment now that it's changed hands.
A Canadian politician called on Justin Trudeau to bar comedian Michael Rapaport from entering the country for a few gigs—simply because he supports the existence of a Jewish state. Rapaport responded by offering her front row seats.
