Democratic Senator Mark Kelly Claps Back At Cowardly Elon Musk For Attacking An Astronaut

Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) joined the fray when unelected president Elon Musk began attacking an astronaut who dared to disagree with the Twitter/Tesla CEO.

Musk was a guest on Sean Hannity’s show recently and claimed the Biden administration left two NASA astronauts on the International Space Station for what he called “political reasons.”

Danish astronaut Andreas Mogensen took issue with Musk’s claim.

“What a lie. And from someone who complains about lack of honesty from the mainstream media,” Mogensen wrote on Twitter.

Rather than engage in an honest debate on the issue, Musk angrily lashed out, posting, “You are fully retarded. SpaceX could have brought them back several months ago. I OFFERED THIS DIRECTLY to the Biden administration and they refused. Return WAS pushed back for political reasons. Idiot.”

American astronaut Scott Kelly defended Mogensen.

“I was the Commander of the @ISS when Andy, @Astro_Andreas flew his first space mission. He is one of the most competent, trustworthy, and honest people I’ve ever met. This rhetoric is beyond the pale but, sadly, not surprising. He does not deserve this kind of disrespect,” Kelly wrote.

As you’d expect, Musk couldn’t leave well enough alone, and he responded to Commander Kelly.

“Yes, he does. He is an idiot who publicly attacked me, despite having no idea what ACTUALLY happened. Btw, your brother claims to be independent, but is just a Dem donor shill,” Musk raged.

That’s when Sen. Kelly, who was an astronaut before he ran for office, laid the final smackdown on Musk.

“Hey @ElonMusk, when you finally get the nerve to climb into a rocket ship, come talk to the three of us.”

Musk has yet to respond to Sen. Kelly, and if he has any common sense (which is doubtful), he’ll take his online lashing and keep his head down.

Donald Trump Social Media The Trump Adminstration WTF?!

Trump Says If He ‘Saves’ The Country He Can ‘Violate’ Any Law He Wants

Perhaps suffering from a guilty conscience as a result of the unconscionable evil he plans to unleash on the United States, Felon-in-Chief Donald Trump is now openly declaring that he can “violate” any law he wants as long as he manages to “save” the country in the process.

In a short posting he made this afternoon on social media, the twice-impeached criminal who currently serves as American head of state told the world, “He who saves his Country does not violate any Law.”

What Trump neglected to add is that he stole the line from one of the worst dictators in world history, Napoleon Bonaparte. And considering the fate that befell Napoleon, he might not be the ideal choice of a leader to emulate.

How terrible was the reign of Napoleon? Consider this fact: It’s estimated that anywhere between 3 and 6.5 million people died under his rule, including 1.3 million residents of France.

Napoleon was also a megalomaniac dictator who ended freedom of the press and freedom of association. Oh, and he also destroyed nearly all of the government reforms that had been won by the French people after the revolution that overthrew King Louis XVI.

And we have Donald Trump invoking the memory of a dictator as he begins his own tyrannical rule of the United States with mass deportations, legal attacks on the LBGTQ community, and attempting to impose religious fundamentalism on the populace at a time when many Americans are growing sick and tired of the bigotry and intolerance Christian extremism is preaching from the pulpit and hoping to make the law of the land.

Trump was also hit with plenty of backlash on social media, where people reminded him that he is and will always be a criminal, no matter what he tries to make us believe.

Matt Gaetz’s Bigoted Attack On Kendrick Lamar Comes Back To Bite Him Right On The A*s

In a country as deeply divided as the United States currently is, it should come as no surprise that reaction to Kendrick Lamar’s halftime performance at this year’s Super Bowl would be so even split between those who called it a brilliant commentary on the state of modern America and those who claimed it was unwatchable or impossible to understand.

The American commentary crowd had plenty of proof to back up their claims that Lamar was letting us all know that we can either move closer to each other or continue to deny the division that separates us and threatens to plunge the country into a second civil war.

“Lamar’s dancers hit the field in monochromatic red, white, and blue outfits. While some saw gang symbolism, others clocked the deeper meaning during ‘HUMBLE.’—when an all-Black group of male dancers formed the American flag with their bodies,” The Grio’s Haniyah Phiolgene notes. “Lamar stood at the center, visibly dividing them, fueling speculation that he was making a statement on the country’s current divisions. Before the moment played out, he told the audience, ‘The revolution is about to be televised. You picked the right time but the wrong guy.'”

Others thought there were jabs at Pervert-in-Chief Donald Trump, who was in attendance but reportedly left before seeing all of the halftime show.

 “Donald Trump is forced to watch Samuel L Jackson, dressed as Uncle Sam, introduce Kendrick Lamar at the super bowl half time show after asking the NFL to not show the ‘End Racism’ In the End Zones is the Headline,” a Twitter user wrote.

Another wrote, “Samuel l jackson as uncle sam, the personification of america, telling kendrick his performance is ‘too ghetto’ and then it cutting to kendrick’s all-black backup dancers arranged as the american flag all while That Man [Trump] is in attendance? kendrick i was not familiar with your game.”

And then there was a truly moronic reaction from disgraced former Florida Republican Congressman Matt Gaetz, who seemed to think Lamar’s performance was a direct reaction to Trump’s win in the 2024 presidential election.

“The halftime show you just watched is clearly the regime’s response to Trump’s historic gains with black men,” Gaetz tweeted.

No, Matt. It wasn’t. The show was planned months before the election.

But perhaps the best thing that came out of Gaetz’s comment is that he was instantly reminded that he’d been suspected of paying underage girls to have sex with him, which ironically mirrors criticism rap star Drake has received, which made it’s way into Lamar’s song “Not Like Us.”

In the song, Lamar says, “Say, Drake, I hear you like ’em young” and “tryna strike a chord and it’s probably A minor.”

That was all it took to send social media into spasms of delight as they hit back at Gaetz.

Liz Cheney Claps Back At Elon Musk After He Posts Hateful Online Criticism Of Her

When he’s not storming into federal government offices and doing God only knows what with sensitive data contained in agency computers, Twitter/Tesla CEO Elon Musk still finds time to engage in online trolling.

But Musk met his match when he attempted to aim a hateful criticism at former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY). who was more than equal to his snarky post.

Specifically, Musk reposted a slap at Cheney that was originally seen online back in December from Mike Benz, executive director of Foundation For Freedom Online. Here’s the post, along with an updated comment from Benz:

Musk shared Benz’s post, along with a single word of commentary: “Interesting.”

Cheney fired a shot back at Musk and Benz.

“Damn right, @Elon. I’m proud of what America did to win the Cold War, defeat Soviet communism, and defend democracy. Our nation stood for freedom. You may be unfamiliar with that part of our history since you weren’t yet an American citizen.”

The Musk-Cheney exchange comes as an executive order from Arsonist-in-Chief Donald Trump has shut down USAID’s bipartisan mission to deliver humanitarian aid to other countries.

It seems more than a bit ironic that the world’s richest man thinks it’s necessary to weigh in on an agency that he’s hellbent on destroying. If he’s certain that he’s in the right, why does he feel a need to attack those who disagree with him? Could it be that he knows he’s deliberately violating the law and subverting the will of Congress, which appropriates money for various programs?

Or could it be that Musk is letting us all know he’s the one currently serving as president? After all, he’s the one who bought a second term for Trump, and he’s also the one who’s trying to bring the United States to a crashing end.

Here’s a suggesetion for Elon Musk: Take your sorry ass back to South Africa and leave the United States alone. We’ve survived for nearly 250 years without you and we’re sick of your meddling.

JD Vance Told To ‘Check Out Schoolhouse Rock’ After Posting BS Defense Of Elon Musk’s Actions

Vice Criminal JD Vance thought he’d weigh in on the national debate taking place regarding the firing of officials from USAID (the United States Agency for International Development), the U.S. Treasury Department, Office of Personnel Management (OPM), and the General Services Administration (GSA) by people working under the direction of Twitter CEO Elon Musk and only succeeded in proving his ignorance of the Constitution.

Here’s what Vance posted on social media: “Career bureaucrats don’t get to violate lawful orders from the President of the United States. They answer to the president, and he answers to the people. Really not that complicated.”

Considering that Vance graduated from Yale Law School, you’d think he’d know how the government works, but apparently he offloaded whatever knowledge he once possessed the minute he became Donald Trump’s chief ass-licker.

Unelected South African emigres like Musk aren’t the president, even if they contribute over $250 million to help a president get elected and like to believe they’re the smartest person on the planet.

Also, money appropriated by Congress for a specific purpose has to be spent for that purpose. No president is allowed to pick and choose what to fund after Congress has already made that decision.

So if anyone needs a lesson in basic civics, it’s Vance, who is far too busy being a good Nazi to comment on the issue in any manner that provides the least bit of clarity.

Vance was quickly taken to school online.

Eric Chenoweth, the Director of the Institute for Democracy in Eastern Europe (IDEE), remarked, “Note well @JDVance’s false understanding of the Constitution. Indeed, it appears that when they sloganeered ‘we’re a republic, not a democracy,’ they didn’t mean a constitutional republic. BTW, orders to shut down Congressionally mandated programs & agencies are *not* lawful.”

Steven Horrell of the Transatlantic Defense and Security Program at the Center for European Policy Analysis (CEPA) reminded Vance, “Government employees swear an oath to the Constitution, not the President.”

“Civil servants & service members swear an oath to faithfully uphold the Constitution & carry out the laws, as you have. That means not following unlawful orders, like shutting down agencies without an act of Congress or taking down public data Congress mandated be disclosed,” Alexander Howard, the founder of Civic Texts noted.

But the best clapback came from celebrity chef Tom Colicchio.

“If the Money has already been appropriated then yes they do. There is a budget process. You may want to check out Schoolhouse rock.”

Or perhaps Vance needs to stay off social media altogether until he actually reads (and understands) the document that lays out how our representative democracy works.
