Re: Elon's reported "exit" from the 47 regime: I don't buy it.

[pat_k]

So, 47 reportedly sez Elon will be exiting real soon now? I call bullshit. None of the Anti-American, racist, Christian nationalist, xenophobic, women-hating, dictator-loving billionaires hellbent on capturing every institution of our constitutional democracy are going anywhere (short of impeachment and removal of 47 and Theil's pet Vance after the midterms -- something we must be building toward now). Sure, the regime will try to keep him out of the public eye, but Elon, et al. will continue their path of destruction at warp speed; they will continue to serve as the enforcers threatening any Republican that exhibits a micron of humanity.

Sure, focusing the public's anger on Elon served a purpose. But all we've done is force them to move the guy's role to the background. Now we have to work as hard to direct that anger at 47 and Vance as the true leaders of their war on the American people.

1. Musk will have a very difficult time remaining in the background.

2. This cost him too much to leave now. nt

3. When they take all his little embedded moles out

And imprison them for looting out data and nation … maybe then, I will believe it

4. I'm not buying it either.

All he's going to do is lay low from the media for a while. He'll still continue the damage he has been doing, but without all of the media stunts.

5. Me neither

Leon is not going anywhere. Pud’s handlers are going to try and keep him quiet, but fortunately for America, that won’t work. He’s a drug addled power freak, and he won’t be able to keep his mouth shut or his fingers still. He bought and owns Pud.

6. "he brought coffee and cokes

to keep us hydrated. Hell, I never even knew his name"

IMO the excuse they'll toss out there

7. It's all public image stagecraft.

aka propaganda

8. Don't listen to what they say, Watch what they do...nt

9. Musk is not leaving yet.

10. Just one problem with your argument . . .

Lone Skum will never ever move to the background. His whiny, galactic, drug-sodden ego will never permit it.

When he goes, it'll be like Reince Preibus being abandoned on the tarmac at Joint Base Andrews, while Wee Donnie Dollhands runs far, far away.

11. I like the the analogy! And probably spot on.
