Here in CT, I am thoroughly enjoying seeing Tong, Blumenthal and Murphy squirm uncontrollably. They think they have a fighting chance against DJT, but even a prayer won't help them with that battle.

I was hoping that was a countdown to jumping off the cliff.

But, it triggers the lawsuits that will end up in SCOTUS so we can get a "final" answer. Someone needs to file a lawsuit to challenge birthright citizenship at a lower court favorable to conservatives.
C'mon now...give credit where credit is due...Brandon could wipe his butt and eat ice cream at the same time (as long as Jill held the cone).
The failing NYT, MSNBC reports that there was a rift between Elon musk and Vivek. Just like they said there was a rift between Elon and Trump.
When it was Vivek who made that post on X in defense of Elon.
Most of the blacklash Vivek got is from trolls and bots who keep repeating the same thing. Remember there was a lot of bureaucrats who feel he is their enemy number one and they will sieze at any opportunity.
There is more to the story.
Vivek was the first person who talked about firing federal workers and cutting down agencies 2 years back.
Elon picked up on this 3 months before the election. He wanted to create a agency to cut down waste and conveniently named it DOGE.
Why I say this is because Elon promoted DOGE coin before which had failed and he had a $ 258 BILLION lawsuit that was about to start. But when Elon conveniently named the agency as DOGE and even using the DOGE coin mascot as the symbol. The price of DOGE coin rised up several times over. After which the lawsuit was withdrawn.
Elon has a history on naming things. Like Tesla products
Model S
Model E
Model X
Model Y
Ford owned the the name Model E so he changed to Model Ǝ which is like inverted E.
Also Elon wants a Texas Institute of Technology and Science aka TITS.
While Vivek just wanted to do stuff that he talked about so passionately. From his point of view and his political path. The headline is always ELON DOGE, while the articles do mention Vivek but rarely in any headline or sound bite.
Even in the closed meeting with Congress, house members, they were mainly impressed with Vivek because he is the actual brains behind this but the credit unfortunately always goes mostly to Elon, who was live streaming playing video games from a cottage at Mar-a-lago.
So I see why he wants to exit DOGE, even at DOGE if one believes the reports. The stuff Vivek was asking on Trump admin staff members is a lot. Vivek was not okay with the Omnibus bill and he made it clear on X, even Elon was not happy with the bill but stand down orders came from Trump staff officials and Elon relented. While Vivek was not happy. Trump senior advisor Stephen Miller sent his wife Katie Miller to DOGE and it's all down hill from there.
I think Vivek would have stayed if he had more power and freedom.

I wonder how Biden's handlers left this traitor off their pardon list?

Rachel Vindman – the wife of Alexander Vindman – said she feels betrayed by the Biden administration because her husband did not receive a pardon, like other people who assisted Democrats during the one term of now-former President Joe Biden. On Monday morning during the final hours of his...

Coast Guard commandant terminated over border lapses, recruitment, DEI focus: official
The commandant of the U.S. Coast Guard has been terminated amid border, recruitment concerns, "erosion of trust," a senior DHS official confirmed to Fox News.

Maybe he can hang around like a boat anchor on the democrats, but I don't think he is mentally capable of doing much besides eating ice cream.
“I’m not going anywhere,” Biden told the Sunday congregation.
And just in case there were any doubts about his lucidity, Biden stressed: “I’m not kidding.”

Biden Says 'I'm Not Going Anywhere' on His Final Full Day in Office
The outgoing lame duck president offered a glimpse into his future - and some Democrats may not be very happy with it.

In his mind he isn't going anywhere. His living room in RI looks the same to him as the Oval Office.
Dementia is a funny thing and plays tricks on your mind.
Sad that we've basically had no President for at least the last 2 years
*Don't get me wrong, he's a lying fraud and a piece of shit and his entire career has been a lie, but his current mental state is more likely to be caused by his brain literally melting down

My mom has dementia. It is very sad and it does play tricks on you. I remember my mom, when reminded about something she didn't remember correctly, said "oh no, I'm in trouble" because her brain was effing with her and she realized it at that moment.
Biden was clearly suffering from dementia before he ran for POTUS but his scum handlers covered for him while he "campaigned" from his basement. Most ridiculous and frightening thing to happen to the USA. We still don't know for sure who or which specific group of people were running the country up until 12pm ET yesterday.
And Biden was always a scum bully. His hero must have been LBJ as he reminds me of him.
One less POS calling the shots in the Armed Forces!

People on X are dissecting Elon and Vivek posts on X to establish a timeline, to find out if there was a fall out between them.
For what it's worth.
Elon used to agree and repost or reply to Vivek post on X with "exactly" or "100%" almost daily multiple times a day.
It stopped abruptly on Dec 18, remember people on X can only see Elon or Viveks posts or retweet but not the likes which are private. So they are going by only those two metrics.
The last retweet or reply to Vivek post by Elon was 5 days before Vivek posted that long post about why companies hire foreign workers.
No suprise this was during the passing of the giant spending bill.
Further more Vivek was about gutting the H1B and only wanted to hire H1B or its replacement based purely on merit not the low wages that the companies exploit.
This was again against all the other tech giants which doesn't want H1B program to be touched or downsized.
Vivek also wanted to end chain immigration, where the family of a H1b can bring in their family members.
This along with Vivek potentially going through all the contracts hence forth in DOGE would have meant that Elon, Peter Thiel, Jeff Bezzos etc would have had a negative impact on their respective company revenues and stock prices , they have contracts from Nasa, Pentagon etc.
Elon himself relented to H1B wages and merit only after the back clash.
While Vivek was caught in the cross fire, when he was always against H1b.
Someone also posted that Elon liked a X post which was criticizing Vivek views on H1b, where Vivek wanted to gut the H1b.
Trump later came out in support of H1B. The only Trump pick who was against H1B was Vivek.
So there is definitely something that transpired.
All the hate that was directed against Vivek are people who didn't even understand the substance in his post or his actual position on H1b.
