ELON NUKES TRUMP, TRUMP TURN ON ELON, PEDO ALLEGATIONS FLY
Elon Musk and Donald Trump’s fragile alliance has imploded into a full-blown public feud. Musk accused Trump of being named in the Epstein files and threatened to pull SpaceX projects in response to Trump’s threats to cancel government contracts and subsidies. Trump retaliated by attacking Musk’s character, downplaying electric vehicles, and claiming he was always planning to cut ties. The clash now marks an all-out MAGA civil war with no signs of resolution.
MAGA CIVIL WAR HAS BEGUN
The Trump–Musk feud has escalated into a full-blown MAGA civil war, with Republican figures and influencers publicly taking sides. Steve Bannon is calling for the government to seize SpaceX, while members of Congress are split, with some backing Trump and others aligning with Musk, exposing a deeper power struggle within the right. This isn’t about ideology—it’s about ego, clout, and control, and it signals serious cracks in the MAGA coalition that the left may be able to exploit.
From yesterday’s show:
Trump just got his marching orders from Vladimir Putin
Donald Trump deleted a Truth Social post in which he bragged about a 75-minute phone call with Vladimir Putin, during which he appeared to align with Putin’s narrative on Ukraine and suggested joint coordination on Iran's nuclear program. The post was widely criticized as an embarrassing display of subservience, with Trump echoing Putin's threats of retaliation and positioning Russia as a potential mediator.
From yesterday’s show:
MAGA TURNING on Trump over tech bro citizen database
Donald Trump is facing backlash from MAGA supporters over a planned citizen surveillance database built by Peter Thiel’s Palantir. The system would compile personal data like taxes, medical records, and political activity into centralized profiles. Even Trump loyalists are calling it a betrayal and warning of authoritarian overreach.

The 22 Year Old New Terrorist Zsar --- Doesn't Even know How to Dial a Rotary Phone.
But. He Knows How to Mow the WH Lawn ! I Feel soooo Safe Now ! Howdy Doody is in Charge of Our Safety !
With a Supreme Court bought and paid for all of the protection the Constitution guarantees the people of the United States is literally handed over to the most corrupt administration in our history. The blatantly obvious problem for the Republicans is that while they are ass-kissing the 1%, the freedoms they are destroying for the 99%, they are destroying for themselves.
Today, Governor Newsome finally said what I have been hoping for, "California pays alot of the federal governments bills, (so if FUCKUP TRUMP cuts off funds and grants) California will cut off the $80 billion dollars we send to Washington and we will take care of our own.
Red States will suffer because while California overpays, States like Texas get 70% of their funds from Washington.
Let's see if FUCKUP lives up to his weak-kneed character and TACO's once more(Trump Chickens Out Again).
