Historian: Elon Musk Will Soon Be ‘Casually Discarded’ By Egotistical Trump

Even though he donated untold millions of dollars to get Donald Trump elected for the second time, Twitter CEO Elon Musk is about to be unceremoniously thrown overboard by the incoming president, according to a historian, because Trump is not about to share the spotlight with anyone. His massive ego won’t him.

In an article published by the New York Times, David Nasaw predicts Musk’s shelflife as an influencer to the Trump administration will be brief.

“Mr. Trump may be mercurial, but in this situation he is highly unlikely to break historical precedent,” Nassaw notes. “I predict that you will probably join the long list of genius businessmen donors who were casually discarded after they had served their purpose.”

Another reason for Musk’s fading influence is that his promise of cutting trillions from the federal budget would cause an economic meltdown and likely throw the United States into a second Great Depression. That would be political suicide for Trump and the GOP.

“I’m not sure what you were thinking — or if you were thinking — when you clambered on that Madison Square Garden stage and claimed that as chief of the Department of Government Efficiency… you would cut at least $2 trillion of government spending,” Nasaw writes. “The results of such a gutting would, even conservative think-tank analysts predicted, be catastrophic. It is nearly impossible to imagine a majority of Republican lawmakers endorsing your plans to slash a third of all federal spending. To do so would be political suicide.”

So what exactly does Musk get out of his alliance with Trump? More money, of course, as Nasaw predicts his investments — especially Twitter/X — will increase in value, adding to his already massive fortune.

Then again, maybe that was Musk’s plan all along.

Enraged Trump Supporter Claims Schools Are Putting ‘Litter Boxes In The Bathrooms’

According to a supporter of failed former president Donald Trump, children are now “terrified” of going to school because there are “litter boxes in the bathrooms.

Before a Trump campaign rally in Flint, Michigan, Titus Smith of Right Side Broadcasting Network spoke with a woman who said she will vote for Trump so he can be “the voice for our children.”

“You can’t even protect them at school,” the woman claimed. “These kids are terrified.”

“They have put into litter boxes in the bathrooms and everything else, instead of teaching our kids,” she added. “It’s scary what’s happening.”

The Trump acolyte also said her kids are afraid to vote for Trump “because they’re so afraid of what people are going to think of them.”

“They are afraid of politics, completely afraid, because they don’t want to upset anybody,” she continued. “They want to vilify you and make you feel if you say something, what you believe to be true, what you know to be true, that you are the problem.”

The lie about litter boxes in schools began making the rounds among right-wing politicians who asserted that schools were installing litter boxes to accommodate students who identify as cats instead of human beings.

But as Harvard University research director Joan Donovan notes, “What’s most provocative about this hoax is how it turns on two key wedge issues for conservatives: educational accommodations and gender nonconformity.”

In other words, it’s bullshit created to suggest there’s a problem that doesn’t even exist. Then again, the GOP has become the party of conspiracy theories and lies, so it fits right into their bizarre strategy for getting the votes of gullible simpletons.

Washed-Up Actor Kirk Cameron: Public Schools Turn Kids Into ‘Atheists, Drag Queens, And Strippers’

You probably remember washed-up actor and right-wing blowhard Kirk Cameron from the TV series “Growing Pains,” which was the last time he had a steady gig.

Since leaving television, Cameron has become an evangelist, starred in a string of pathetic B-movies, and is also a fanatical advocate for home-schooling.

Why should parents teach their children from home? According to Cameron, it’s because letting them attend public schools will result in them becoming “atheists, drag queens, and strippers.

Cameron made that ludicrous assertion to podcaster Elizabeth Johnston, telling her that kids should never be exposed to curriculum and teachers who aren’t far-right extremists and Christian wackjobs like him.

“If we outsource our parenting because it’s easier or we believe the lie that we’re not qualified experts to educate our kids so we have to subcontract our parenting and discipleship out to the government, we’re gonna have little kids that come back as little Marxists, little statists, little atheists, drag queens, strippers, drug dealers, and you name it.”

Wow! That’s one hell of a list, isn’t it? Seeing as how I’m a proud graduate of public schools, I was shocked to learn that I’m also a communist who dresses in women’s clothes, earns extra cash on the side by stripping, and also finds time in my busy day to sell drugs. All of this so I can support my family and wreak mayhem on my otherwise peaceful neighborhood in the hope of bringing honor to Lucifer.

Is it any wonder that Kirk can’t get a decent gig in Hollywood? He probably couldn’t get a job at McDonald’s even if a blood relative was the manager.

Fortunately, Cameron’s ridiculous bullshit rant was countered with some heavy internet karma.


Here’s a suggestion for Kirk Cameron: You teach your kids the way you want and stay the hell out of my business. Deal?

Trump Shares Meme On Social Media That Threatens Black Poll Workers

Disgraced former president Donald Trump reposted a meme Monday on his financially strapped Truth Social site that many are saying is clearly meant as a threat to black poll workers who will help count ballots in the upcoming 2024 election.

The meme shows two black poll workers sitting at a table, both of whom are wearing protective masks that read “Biden/Harris 2020.”

The photo is accompanied by this message: “Start arresting the poll workers and watch how fast they tell you who told them to cheat.”

As you might expect, that set off a torrent of discussion on Twitter.

VIRAL VIDEO: Woman Flips Off Ranting Far-Right Oklahoma School Superintendent

An Oklahoma woman has gone viral thanks to her reaction at a school board meeting as the state’s education superintendent spoke angrily about “woke” policies and spewed anti-trans hatred.

According to HuffPost, Oklahoma School Superintendent Ryan Walters is about as far to the right as one can get politically short of changing his name to Atilla the Hun, and his rant was so over the top that one person in the audience couldn’t contain her disgust.

Walters tried to get in all the right-wing trigger words as he slammed a “radical, woke, activist judge” who he said is “pressuring” school districts to change birth certificates of trans students to match their gender identity.

“We see a lot of this coming from the Biden administration trying to force dictates onto our states and onto our individual schools,” Walters said.

As she listened to Walters, the woman shook her head and was visibly disgusted by what he was spewing. Finally, she could no longer contain her anger and flipped off the superintendent in clear view of the camera.

Social media users shared their delight with the woman’s reaction and disgust for Walters .
