@vmstan On my best days I’m Steve Buscemi in “Armageddon” with the best seat in the house for the end of the world. Other days I’m just Delmar in “Oh Brother Where Art Thou.”

@aaron.rupar His whataboutism says Elon is guilty and needs to be stopped. Nationalize his businesses - America should take the monopoly on space.

Trump isn't making random announcements without a plan. Every fascist starts expansionist wars.
Gaining control of strategic targets is a preparatory step towards war.
