This will actually work. Theyre both megalomaniacs with fragile egos, putting him in Trumps shadow making it look like he's being used by Trump will drive him crazy
You can see it in his eyes in this picture.
Something about CUCK ARSE on his shirt there?
OCCULT CARS? Maybe a Tesla shirt?
Ooh, kudos for finding wording that both fits the image perfectly and triggers superstitious old republicans.

That's what a K hole looks like.
I thought it was just love.
Love takes a while to mature. This is Love's cousin. The frantic and morally bankrupt Desire.

it's the other way around. mangolini cannot share the spotlight and is already annoyed that elon is always up his ass trying to be co-president. elon however is a massive cuck bitch so he'll probably be regularly humiliated by him and not do anything about it.
I remembered this and googled it. In my mind there was a video, but man. It’s been a crazy 8 years.
"When Elon Musk came to the White House asking me for help on all of his many subsidized projects, whether it's electric cars that don't drive long enough, driverless cars that crash, or rocket ships to nowhere, without which subsidies he'd be worthless," the ever-gracious Trump wrote in 2022, "and telling me how he was a big Trump fan and Republican, I could have said, 'drop to your knees and beg,' and he would have done it…"
Stephen king reports he never said this, but only because he didnt think of it.
Well that image now exists in our heads, so thx for that...
How long before they upgrade Elon to Felon?...
Or Felonia if you like 😂🤣
You have to admit he makes a very handsome woman
Sissy Space-X
Wish I could take credit for coming up with it, but my buddy was real quick on that one.
Lose one (1) election:
"Actually, misgendering is an excellent idea. Also we're removing the pronouns from our bios."
I was hoping to change his name to "Felon" but who knows maybe in another 4 years.
I'm gonna force myself to watch a crappy Stephen King movie because of this. I'll raise a glass to anyone that can get under the skin of this dumb chump.
Why not watch one of the good ones, instead? I'd recommend:
- Carrie
- Shawshank Redemption
- Delores Clayborne
- The Green Mile
- Stand By Me
Gonna tack on The Mist to your list.
At the very least it stars Thomas Jane and Andre Bruagher, which is a win in its own right imo.

Or if you're in for a trashy good time, The Running Man starring Arnold Schwarzenegger!

The Langoliers is one option, a low budget TV-movie adaptation, and it has a few allegorical parallels to today’s events.
Example 1: danger as a function of regression.
For starters, the movie captures the surreal feeling many have re: our corrupted timeline.
The characters’ original timeline continues on without them and they fall further behind the present until the langoliers find them.
With increasing alarm, we’ve watched our timeline fall further and further from the expected path of slow but steady progress, to the point that the darkest chapter of modern history has caught up to us.
Example 2: status quo as a form of paralysis.
The restrained physics of temporal-decay around the airport gives much of the movie its aesthetic of liminal stasis.
Arguably this is not unlike the husk of our former democratic government in slowing the march of progress to a crawl, focusing on conservation of status quo politics. Even now, the government timidly awaits its assimilation by the fascist demagogues, who promise to carve it up and feed it to an endless, insatiable hunger that is eating the planet. (Yeah global elites are the langoliers in this comparison.)
But the allegory fails, because our monsters are weak.
Fascists and their supporters are cowards by definition. Fear and division made them, it is what drives them, and it’s how they drive others. Spreading it is required to maintain their power. So it should come as no surprise that they are most vulnerable to courage and unity. Indeed, wherever these remain, they can only cede ground and lose power.

I saw the thumbnail and was confident itwas was a female version of Elon. I clicked anyway. I have no regrets.
I legit thought that was a picture of Olivia Colman as I scrolled past.
