Hegseth Routinely Passed Out from Alcohol Abuse Danielle Hegseth Affadavit

This is spot on.... I don't know what the future holds, and maybe it is bleak, but engaging in endless doomerism is a one-way ticket to nowhere.

Not that this is breaking news, but the "actually, that's not what he was doing" and "that wasn't what you think it was" stuff only further normalizes this stuff as well.

For all of the other BS, this is how he got the job.

Have the prices of eggs, gasoline and other consumer goods dropped yet?

Look, I do not think you intended to disparage autistic people with your comments. But, as I've explained, using autism as a possible explanation for Elon doing what he did absolutely can be (and has been) interpreted as insulting by those who are autistic.

And in this context, put in the shoes of someone who is autistic or has Asperger's, tell me how it couldn't possibly be seen as demeaning to have people defend Musk for what he did on those grounds.

This kinda makes my point? You are using autism as a possible explanation for him making that gesture Not that social media is a well representative or sorted group, but I didn't make this up whole cloth either:

You are guessing or assuming that his autism made him make that gesture.

The explanations are terrible. The fact that foreign outlets, including the BBC, Jerusalem Post and a bunch of the German press called it out but everyone domestically just wants to tiptoe around it... Sorry, I'm just not having any of it.

The backfilled explanations for things are just so tedious... But it's the Hallmark of a Trump Administration

1. Clearly, obviously not the same thing. 2. You personally know the friend of the family and he has voiced that to you - you do not personally know Elon Musk and are speculating as to an explanation

You are blaming autism specifically as a potential reason for why Elon made that gesture. It isn't some inherent trait for autistic people to stim a sieg heil or anything remotely close to it.

Yeah, I'm not on board with demeaning the autistic community as a means to defend Elon Musk.

Not sure what you are getting at here, but I've always thought the guy was terrible.

I think this is mostly a distraction at this point, but I know what I saw... and I know who he's been using his status to support worldwide at this point in time. I'll leave it at that.

I have a lot of issues with blaming this on autism, starting with the fact that it isn't inherent for autistic people to make those sorts of hand gestures.

Tell yourself whatever makes you happy, boss.

Is it though?

Umm, the full video of him hitting his heart and then sticking it out is the evidence. Simply posting pictures of people sticking their hands out doesn't prove anything

He's such a moron.... and he sounds wore out.

So, apparently Trump's latest moves to help lower the cost of consumer goods is to *checks notes*.... rename Mount Denali and the Gulf of Mexico.

Probably not a large group, but there probably are even a few that voted for Kamala that are satisfied with the outcome (insofar that they may not have strong feelings one way or another, perhaps)

There are also likely people who are satisfied that he won the election who don't like Donald Trump and chose him as the lesser of two evils. (EDIT: or as you suggest, voted for Kamala even) CBS YouGov (I read the crosstabs yesterday after Holic shared them) conspicuously DID NOT ask a question on favorability, which is what I'm talking about - I suspect that number would be lower. Now, once they go out and take approval polls now that he's in office, we'll have to see how that goes.

They aren't the same question.
