He has no idea what's going on under his nose, but needs to state that he totally is in charge.

[–] __nobodynowhere@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

He shits in his big boy president pants, poses for bill signings, doodles on maps and plays golf. Elon actually runs the government.

This just in: Hitler says generals won't do anything "without our approval."

[–] MothmanDelorian@lemmy.world 20 points 1 month ago

Trump to Musk: "Im the Hitler I won the election!!!"

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 35 points 1 month ago

Nothing without Putin's approval, maybe.

Is the bitchass in chief really trying to use the royal we?

[–] adarza@lemmy.ca 28 points 1 month ago (1 children)

"our" includes old spice, nitwit.

how about approval from congress? or constitutional authority?

[–] jonne@infosec.pub 13 points 1 month ago

Congress has so far done nothing, so they're basically fine with it. And the constitutional authority is decided by the courts, the same ones that ruled that anything a President does is de facto légal.

“...and that approval is for sale, if anyone cares to outbid him.”

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 21 points 1 month ago

So, basically all departments and everyone working in them - serve at the whims of just two guys. Sounds so very democratic.

Why.....it's almost like this is designed by foreign agents to destroy our country....

I wonder if any of the red hatters are waking up? I see reactions online to some of the outcomes from anecdotal red hatters, but....if we have more free and fair elections anymore, are they just going to go right back to pulling the lever for Republicans?

[–] x00z@lemmy.world 18 points 1 month ago

There is still a chance for the American people to get Trump and Musk fighting eachother.

[–] painfulasterisk1@lemmy.ml 14 points 1 month ago

Haaaaa, we all know that President Illegal Elon does whatever he wants without any repercussions. I'm still waiting for the news article where it will disclose that he funneled millions of federal grants to his own company.

Trump is the CEO and the tech oligarchs are the board of directors

[–] TheFogan@programming.dev 9 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Is there a chance this can be half spun... IE lets say he doesn't have any actual ability to do more then send out e-mails and walk up to people and say "You are fired".

In the same way that I can walk into walmart and tell every employee they are fired. Which if I can make myself sound important they may leave... I don't have the authority to fire them, but who's going to stop me. First ammendment says we can yell "you are fired" in a crowded theater.

Am I really high or did he say 100 million spent on condoms for hamas?

[–] SpikesOtherDog@ani.social 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The number keeps getting bigger. Supposedly rhere were some condoms filled with incindiary liquid.

[–] Rekorse@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

Molotov condoms?! Fucking hell!

Shouldn't they support birth control for their enemies?

[–] bitchkat@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It was a different Gaza. In Mozambique maybe?

[–] w3dd1e@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago

This. They said condoms for Gaza but it was the wrong Gaza. The dollar amount keeps changing though.
