From the start of this cluster, I have wondered how he handles it if/when the big boy serious investors notice that what got them to the table, Tesla, has become a boring side-line after-thought to the child genius, while he dreams up ways for the bird app to stop bleeding cash.

The justices made justices targets.
When you give reassurances to various Senators that you will not do a thing, then you do that thing, one cannot be surprised that people conclude you’re a gonadless partisan hack.

He doesn’t do “disaster casual” worth a damn. Either play dress up well or don’t play dress up at all.

That debate last night between Greg Abbott and Joe Biden was a really good one!
Wait, you’re saying the debate wasn’t against Biden? That’s weird because Abbott never stopped talking about him.
