Oh, please. Project 2025 doesn’t exist.

Okay, it exists, but dear leader said he doesn’t know anything about it and so we don’t either.

Haha! We knew all along. We gave him this mandate thing.

I think Trump still needs him myself. I am more pessimistic. A mafia boss may loath or even hate a collegue, but they need each other for now, i would argue.

But let us wait and see. I’ll buy you metaphorical flowers if you are right. I want you to be.

Instead of metaphorical flowers, maybe take @Bekloppt as a guest to your dinner with @cynicaloldgit? I would go, but I’m not insane.

Why does Trump need him? He’s not going to be involved in another election whatever happens and X is dead anyway. Whatever Musk has to offer Trump can get from another coked up tech bro. Pacts between narcissists never end well.

I’m off to bed, my friend and I am too tired for any thoughts approaching the level of sophistication I can be comfortable with. I just can’t argue properly now, but I do not think it’s that easy, yet, anyway.
I’ll try to remember the argument tomorrow if you would like a better answer then.

Please do take care and have a good night yourself, whenever you want to hit the bed :slight_smile:

All the best, Magnus

It’s just after lunch and I’m having a coffee.

No worries, just putting my thoughts out there.

Hehe, my girlfriend is already asleep here and I am now about to attempt Mission Impossible: To climb into the bed (I lie closes to the wall and have to kind of cross her) without waking her up.
I was going to bed earlier, but someone mentioned Ukraine the other day and since i hadn’t posted for ages, I curated the most important events since November the 16 to today. Took a while. And now it’s too late. As far as I know, I don’t have work for tomorrow, but there is still the posibillity that they will call me 08:15. So I need a few hours just in case:)

Ich dachte ehrlich gesagt, du wärst in Deutschland und nicht in Amerika.

But maybe you are live over there, enjoying how wunderbar it is:

I get on very well with my reflection, thank you.

And Linda Mcmahon for minister of education. I wonder if she gets a cool entrance song.

That’s her song until the fascists remember they didn’t want a department of education at which point she’ll be sans a job.

She’s also currently being sued for her involvement in the ring boy scandal.

And then there’s this. Not that any of it will actually matter.

Gotta be used to it by now… but this is why I don’t have any time for them anymore. They’ve made reality optional.
