I think he’s genuinely insane
This has been going on for a long time. I remember being in Vancouver, BC on bidness about 15 years ago and had to pass 2 or 3 on location movies sets between my hotel and the office. I was told they get good tax incentives for shooting there so they do.

You have spent years calling everyone under the sun “scum”. Jerry Lewis death thread - you call him scum. OJ’s death thread - you call him scum. Ferguson - scum. JJ Watt - scum. Ty Cobb - scum. Tony Romo - scum. Von Miller - scum. Clemens - scum. Cornelius Bennet - scum.

The only thing I'm panicking about is those freakin' penguins. They're now gonna be screwing us for another 90 days. They've been doing it to us for decades. Enough is enough.

Any conflicts with MAGAs? Ours were minimal but the social media response from them has been a bit overwhelming. Telling that mostly they ask "what were you protesting" as if the complaints weren't written on placards.
I didn't see any conflicts with anyone.
If someone had asked me what I was protesting it would be 2 things.
1. Keep your hands off the VA health care system. They do amazing work taking care of our disabled veterans. If I thought the plan was about doing more with a more streamlined process costing less I'd be for it. Instead, the plan seems to be do less with less as programs are already being cut.
2. The Penguins. Screw the penguins. Those penguins have been screwing us for decades and I'm darn tired of it.

Gorgeous Virginia spring day for a protest. 500 people with signs in a town of 10,000. 5%!!! All kinds of folks. Average Joes and Janes, veterans, hippies, lawyers, doctors, professors, coal miners, gay, straight...you name it. I'd estimate 10 positive horn beeps for every middle finger or taunt and this is a deep red area. One dude in a jacked up pick up kept circling playing his stupid "Dukes of Hazzard" horn. There was a young women behind me that looked a bit like Daisy. So it evened out. Best poster: "Types of Ticks - Deer Tick, Mouse tick , Luna-tik with pictures of the insects and trump. my "obey the constitution" was very tame. It was a good time and somewhat reassuring.
It was a good day with nice weather here too. In the suburbs we had estimates of 1,000 people lining both sides of the street row a half mile or so. I brought my drum and found some percussionists. We had up to 7 people involved. We jammed non stop for about and hour and 15 minutes. Crowd was into it. It was fun.
My favorite signs were the ones with penguins. ***** those penguins. They've been screwing us for decades. It's payback time.

This proves nothing. I went to a protest by a VA Health Clinic to protest cutting the VA from 1:30 to 3:30. At 3:30 everyone including myself left. I saw no money exchange hands. Do you have any proof money is changing hands or just conjecture such as this? What are they supposed to do, stay all night? People got other things to do too.

Anyone remember punch card decks used for computer programming? Those SS systems are so old they're probably still using them. But don't change or modernize anything to some level of technology commonly used in the 21st century because it might risk interrupting the antiquated systems and processes used at the agency.
I remember punch cards. I learned how to program in COBOL and Assembly Language on a mainframe in the late 1970s. After a couple of years they removed the punch card machines and went to terminals using line editors. Full screen editors weren't a thing yet.
The best graffiti in the men's room in the computer center was "COBOL programmers have bigger decks". Do you know why?
A lot of people run parts of their business on older software and platforms because it's expensive to rewrite your large application to do the same thing on the latest a greatest platforms if it's working. SS has never missed a payment so evidently it is working. Not saying improvements couldn't be made and I'm sure there has been but it's not as easy as many think it is.
I'm gonna call BS on the punch card thing unless evidence can be provided to the contrary.

The only reason I can see for them doing this is Trump told them they have to.
Why? President Musk has big bidness dealings with China. He has very loose lips.
Am thinking maybe they will do the equivalent to the fake walkthrough the Eagles did before Super Bowl LII.

The owner of the car that was keyed needs to walk up to this guy & ask him to watch the video and when its done punch him right in the mouth and just walk away ... What a POS !!!!
Granted the keyer is a POS. But doing what you suggest would leave the Tesla owner with a keyed Tesla and charged with assault.
Go to the police and have the keyer charged. Those things have cameras all over them so you got the video evidence. Take them to small claims court or file a claim with your insurance company. They'll find out who it is.
This whole thing is sooooooo dumb. I guess it makes them feel good but They're not hurting President Musk in any way, shape or form. He's already got the money. If it's at a dealership, they're insured so they're not hurt.
And on top of that if you're not captured on a ring camera or some security camera or some other camera, the Tesla itself has cameras on it. Stupid criminals.
On a side note, it is kind of funny that auto correct corrects Tesla to Feels.

The social security system, like any other process is not perfect. Every process has an error rate. They've made errors in the past and will likely make them in the future. So you can't take one random example of an error and conclude there's some systemic problem. DOGE won't be perfect either. But that doesn't mean its not effective in rooting out fraud, waste, and abuse. So there's one mistake highlighted. Fix it.
You make a good point about any system not being perfect. And I hope they do fix it. Ned had to spend 2 days on the phone and then go to a SS office and wait in a long line to fix it. And these are 2 things DOGE wants to cut (SS offices and phone support).
My concern is DOGE seems to be making a lot of mistakes such as there are 150,000 people over 150 years old getting SS checks or firing nuclear scientists but not having the contact info to hire them back or saying they saved 8 billion when really it was 8 million or triple counting contract cut or trying to hide the contract #s from the wall of receipts (so much for transparency) and forgetting to take it out of the HTML code. I have a hard time believing them at this point.
And now we find out DOGErs are working 120 hours a week. No one can work that much and be on the top of their game not matter how smart they are or how big their balls are. It's a recipe for mistakes which I see them making a lot of.
Maybe you think you can trust them and it will work out, but I don't trust anyone in government.

Virtue signaling liberals are being forced onto E-bikes. They're going to find riding one of those in bad weather or on an Interstate will be challenging.
I don't think this is true.
Tesla started and gained market share as the only game in town. Not the case nowadays. If one wants to save the planet there are many options.
Rivian
Polestar
Ford Mustang
Cadillac Lyriq
VW Buzz
Leaf
Chevrolet Bolt
...
Everybody has one.
I suspect would be Tesla buyers will just take their money elsewhere and ride comfortably on an interstate in bad weather.

Seems that the social security database culling to remove dead people is not going so great either for "Tech Support". In it's effort to remove dead people it seems they are making some live people dead so as to stop paying them.
Quote“DOGE Has 10 Staffers at Social Security in Hunt for Dead People,” the headlines read this past week.
I found a dead person on Social Security. Right here in Seattle, on Capitol Hill.
Of course the circumstances of Ned Johnson’s death were completely the opposite of what Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency had claimed was rampant.
“You wake up one day and discover you’re dead,” Johnson told me. “It’s been truly surreal.”
That’s the biggest difference — my deceased guy turns out to be very much alive. Musk is contending that hordes of dead people are listed as alive in the Social Security databases, and are fraudulently still drawing benefits (which the Social Security director disputes).
Johnson is 82 and still kicking. Yet sometime last month, someone or something led Social Security to both tag him as dead and start clawing back his benefits.
Johnson’s strange trip through the netherworld began in February, when a letter from his bank arrived addressed to his wife, Pam.
“We recently received notification of LEONARD A. JOHNSON’s passing,” it began. “We offer our sincerest condolences …”
Fortunately Ned was not totally dependent on SS to survive but many are. It could make them homeless by breaking things as President Musk likes to do.

I read this in the paper the other day. I literally LOLed out loud when I read they removed the contract ids from the website to hide it but left it in the HTML code for the page. Anyone could do view source in their web browser and see it. LOL. Just like this cat did.
This is coming from Joe Tech Support and his super geeky young whiz kids. We already know they don't do COBOL. Seems now they don't know much about HTML either.

Will be interesting to see how this works out. Pooty Poot has all the cards. If he really wanted a peaceful end all he has to do is retreat and bring his troops home. Everyone in the world wants it to end except him and he's the only one who can stop it.
I suspect he will hold out until he thinks he can get the most out of everyone else even if then.
President Trump says he can do really bad thing financially with embargoes and tariffs I guess. He nor anyone else has said what that would look like.
I'm hoping for the best.

Why can’t the NFL just admit that the NCAA has figured out the OT thing and implement that.
If the NFL is going to copy another league's overtime rule, got the XFL's from a few years ago before the merger.
2 point conversions. Each team runs one. If both make it or both miss, do it again. When 1 team makes it and the other doesn't, game over. Would be better in regards to player safety which the league is always talking about (but doesn't really care about).

With the myriad of Tesla recalls for technical problems and Twitter getting taken down by a denial of service attack which President Musk incorrectly blamed on Ukraine and President Musk's assertion that people over 150 years old were getting social security checks because him and big balls don't do COBOL seriously makes me question his ability to do "Tech Support".
As someone who has done tech support for a living, if I made as many mistakes as President Musk does, I'd a been out on my a$$.

Record numbers LOL
In 1984 President Reagan won the electoral college 525-13 and the popular vote by 16 million.
Meanwhile President Trump won the electoral college 312-226 and the popular vote by 2 million.
Not even close.
