I like him less as a result of this episode. Presumably he had the same information/speculation about Trump before the election as after, but he wasn't principled enough to share it until now. Instead he did the exact opposite. He pushed it deep down inside and did everything in his power to get Trump elected.

Now what do you think?

You do here: What you claim you do not do here:

Why would I need to admit he never said regret when I never said he said regret? This really is not the "aha" you were planning was it? But as long as we are parsing words, the definition of regret is - feel sad, repentant, or disappointed over (something that has happened or been done, especially a loss or missed opportunity). In his CBS Morning News interview Musk said he was disappointed with the budget bill and that it undermined his work at DOGE. So stop with the he never said... And yes, I think someone who uses "just can't stand it anymore", "massive", "outrageous", "pork-filled", "disgusting", "abomination", "shame", and "wrong" in a three sentence message is expressing his disappointment and regret. Then to follow it up with "In November next year, we will fire all politicians who betrayed the American people" drives that message home. Those are not the words of someone who is happy with his time spent among politicians. And forget about your hypothetical. I do not hate Elon Musk. Just because I do not fawn over him, you and others jump to an incorrect conclusion (or as you like to call it the hypothetical in your brain). I am, however, very wary of Elon Musk, along with Peter Thiel, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, Alex Karp (especially Alex Karp), the US government (check out the deal they are doing with Palantir), the Chinese government, the Russian government, and everyone else trying to monopolize personally identifiable data to weaponize it against me (or even just to sell me crap). It is the reason that I do not have Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, or log into Google, or turn on my location on my phone any more than I need to, etc.

you must annoy the shiiit out of your wife

Yes, I agree that what I originally said was accurate and your comment was a non sequitur.

k is a thousand

Yeah, that is how it typically works. While he was there he began to regret his choice. He began to express that before he left and did so with much greater force and harsher criticism after he left. Several of his quotes I used were from prior to his departure.

It is easy. He left and the second he left he referred to Trump's "arguably the most significant piece of Legislation that will ever be signed in the History of our Country" as a "disgusting abomination". He even said he can't stand it anymore. “I’m sorry, but I just can’t stand it anymore. This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination. Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it.” More Musk quotes on the way out the door, "I was disappointed to see the massive spending bill, frankly, which increases the deficit, not just decreases it, and undermines the work that the DOGE team is doing." Meanwhile, he has been chastened by Tesla investors for taking his eye off the ball at the company that is his checking account. At the same time he says he is pulling back "a lot" on his previously promised campaign funding. In November he said he would play a significant role in the primaries, and now he says he has done enough. Now you may argue that he never used the word regret, but if you want to argue that does not sound like a man with regrets, then I do not know what to say to you.

Now he has regrets? Thanks for nothing.

I am virtually certain it is him. The only other two wrestlers I could find who redhshirted in 2016, started in 2017 and ended in 2022 (with an AA finish) were Logan Massa and Myles Amine. Neither of them fit the pattern above (med shirt year), only Kemerer.

2 billion isn't the issue. 113 billion is the issue. As storms become more intense and more frequent more people are building more expensive, under-insured homes in disaster zones. The free federal insurance from FEMA promotes moral hazard. I am uninterested in providing hundreds of millions of free insurance. Homeowners building, and rebuilding, in known disaster prone areas should pay for their own insurance. If they paid true market prices for insurance they would stop building where they should not build.

He doesn't have time to end the war in Ukraine. He is still working on the Epstein files. We should get A to S any day now.

careful, Defender of Dumb, you are going to upset your protégé with these childish insults.

Well if it isn't Jimmy Speaks, defender of dumb wherever it may occur. There are a lot of words too complicated for his simple mind. Take the word too. He does not seem to be able to handle that one. Or the word synonym. That escapes him too. Maybe you guys can look them up in your thesauruses.

What word was too complicated for your simple mind?

A thesaurus won't do you any good. Try a dictionary. And while you are there look up thesaurus.

You are all over the place on this one. First you thought I was too uneducated to comprehend (no spell check needed) what you were saying. Then you thought I was too intellectual. Meanwhile, spell check doesn't have the first clue what you are unsuccessfully trying to spell, so it throws up its arms and guesses compression and otherwise. That education of yours is working out wonderfully. Still don't know what a malaprop is, do you?

Are your feeings hurt? How cute given that you came here to insult. You started this thread to insult. I didn't say I was an intellectual. I did say it is funny that a person who struggles with vocabulary finds the need to get on a high horse about other people's education.

Otherwise? You get dumber with every post and right now you are posting like it is the middle of next week. I say keep going. There is nothing funnier than a guy who starts a thread to complain about other people's education and then cannot go a post without messing up his vocabulary.

Your inability to find the right word is no mystery, Mr. 96%. You not knowing what a malaprop is, is even less of a mystery.

Yes, a compression issue, Mrs. Malaprop. Look it up.
