Today's Tiedrich rant: what the fuck is going on?



Link: https://www.jefftiedrich.com/p/what-the-fuck-is-going-on

imagine these are the early days of the Biden presidency. the press is herded into the Oval Office. standing behind Joe is George Soros — and it immediately becomes clear that this is Soros’ presser. he’s the one doing all the talking — Joe just sits behind his desk, not saying a word, eventually nodding off. oh, and there’s some small fucking child wandering around, picking his nose.

you know exactly how the all the usual suspects would have reacted. the wingnut screech-monkeys would have screamed for Biden to be impeached, and for Soros to be arrested. Sean Hannity would have shit a massive brick on live television. James Comer Fudd and Shirt Sleeve Jimmy Jordan would have had a fistfight on the floor of the House over who could be the first to hold hearings.

but that press conference is exactly what happened yesterday, except with Donny Convict and the Space Nazi — and the fidgety little son he actually calls “X” — and everyone shrugged, as if it were just another day in the Extremely Fucked-Up States of America.

what’s the kindest thing you can say about yesterday’s three-ring shit-show? probably that Musk somehow managed to keep himself from sieg heiling — and also that someone in the press actually committed a journalism and called Elon on his bullshit.

Length 1:33 (closed captions available)


reporter: “you said an example of fraud that you have cited was $50 million of condoms was sent to Gaza — but after fact-checking this, apparently it was Gaza in Mozambique, and the program was to protect them against HIV. so can you correct this statement? it wasn’t sent to Hamas, actually. it was sent to Mozambique.”

Elon: “first of all, some of the things I say will be incorrect.”


no fucking shit, Sherlock. that’s the way the big ball bounces when you pull “facts” out of your ass.

2. LOL, "some of the things I say will be incorrect." Now that's an understatement.
