It’s not real you know, but it is amusing that it’s so hard to separate fact from fiction when it comes to the insanity of American life.

FTFY

43 monkeys escape South Carolina research facility; police warn residents to...

And so it begins…

[MrKettle]

Would be an improvement on the upcoming administration.

Trump to appoint Fox news reader as secretary of state for defence, he used to be in the national guard dontcha know!

@BobC

That must be a worry for Trump. Surely the guy’s experience will have blinkered him so he can’t see the value of new ways of working ?

Trump’s two best mates, Putin and Kim, have found a way to interchange troops. Perhaps Trump was hoping that he could slim down the US forces and cover, if trouble should rear its head, by borrowing a few lads from Moscow or Pyongyang ? I can’t see that going down well with someone who’s already got used to having the calibre of his gun measured in inches.

[thebiglebowski]

Either Trump knows or has been told that domestically nobody gives a shit about foreign policy and foreign news stories are rarely covered in any detail on the news channels.

He’s just saying fuck the world and fuck immigrants etc.

So Mark Francois wirh fake tan.

I think Israel is the only foreign policy area anyone in the USA cares about.

How many hands?

[stu]

Looking forward to numerous of them being sacked or walking in the first twelve months

[Ruprecht]

Musky will be firing at will. I’m lookinmg forward to the leaks from the intelligence comunity.

@Ruprecht

Musky will be firing at will

He can do what he likes with no consequences.
Fire 70% of employees in a Gov’t dept, watch it crash and burn and walk away blaming those that are left as they didn’t manage his policy properly.
It will never be his fault.

[Ruprecht]

He’s the richest man in the world how can he be wrong? (said murcan man)

[Kevin]

True, that is how everything is measured!

[Ruprecht]

The shit end of caplitalisms stick stinks.

[Valvebloke]

It’s the flip side of knowing the cost of everything and the value of nothing.

@Ruprecht

He’s the richest man in the world how can he be wrong?

Isn’t that eventually going to get under Trump’s skin ? And as for all those normal-sized hands on the defence guy …

[malbec]

@Valvebloke

Isn’t that eventually going to get under Trump’s scales?

[hermit]

Asking Musk, of all people, to head a department tasked with significantly reducing government expenditure is beyond cruel. The world’s richest man-child is going to be making a lot of government workers redundant. No doubt, he will also be terminating countless projects and schemes designed to help the poorest in society.

Presumably the Project 2025 crowd intend to use the savings to fund more tax cuts for the super rich. That’s democracy in action.
