Lmao "Era of Peace" consisting of War with China and Iran. Totally peaceful.

[–] Rojo27@hexbear.net 32 points 8 months ago

And this is being posted by someone that once said "we can coup whoever we want". Yeah, I totally believe he cares about peacevery-normal

If the richest man in the planet becomes an open QAnon nut… honestly, I don’t fucking know anymore.

[–] porous_grey_matter@lemmy.ml 39 points 8 months ago

Seeing as he knows trump personally it's obviously just an act. The question is what is he trying to get out of it? My guess is he's beefing a little with trump over attention and wants to try to convert them to being his followers.

[–] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 14 points 8 months ago

He's really scraping the lowest common denominator of his target vannity circle jerk.

[–] ElChapoDeChapo@hexbear.net 9 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

It's entirely cynical on his part and this just reinforces my belief that QAnon was always an op to distract everyone from the very real Epstein case which of course Musk has connections to

On the other hand, fuck John Bolton. heartbreaking

[–] BashfulBob@hexbear.net 24 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Except, there is zero ideological space between John Bolton and Pete Hegseth.

[–] someone@hexbear.net 21 points 8 months ago (1 children)

True. But Bolton is one of those terrifying PNAC ghouls who has the personal connections to make his insane visions a reality. I'm not sure this Hegseth guy is capable of not saying the quiet parts out loud.

[–] BashfulBob@hexbear.net 19 points 8 months ago

Bolton had these connections in the first Trump term and squandered them. He's burned. Hegseth gets to be the fresh dweey-eyed face of fascism, without the stink of loserdom and defeat hanging over his head. Past that, saying the quiet part out loud is how he got where he is today.

Now, is he capable of doing competent administration? Probably not. But neither was Bolton. Hegseth's mostly just a tie-back to the right-wing media establishment, though. He'll juice public approval for the next four years of wars in a way a mummy like Bolton can't manage anymore. Doing the talking head circuit Dick Cheney style to slap a pile of Top Secret documents and NYT Op-Eds while insisting Bolivia has WMDs and Radical Islamic Terrorism will be his job. And he'll excel at that.

Oh this is so amazing, I love this truly and unironically. This man is gonna fall so hard, I'm absolutely giddy to see what happens when Trump throws him under the bus.

[–] BashfulBob@hexbear.net 16 points 8 months ago

He'll become an MSNBC talking head.

[–] JustSo@hexbear.net 14 points 8 months ago

I expect to see someone do something hilarious to him within my lifetime.

[–] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 38 points 8 months ago

He's posting QAnon stuff now? Not that I'm really surprised.

Pax Americana will destroy the deep state, surely copium

[–] Comrade_Mushroom@hexbear.net 26 points 8 months ago

You know what? I do wish I wasn't able to perceive a better world. All it gets me is feeling like shit, 100% of the time.

[–] Aabbcc@lemm.ee 17 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (2 children)

Anyone know what wwg1 w6a is?

I googled it, it's the qanon friendship chant "where we go one we go all"

[–] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 18 points 8 months ago

Yeah, and they got the phrase from a random box office bomb called White Squall.

[–] Jenniferrr@hexbear.net 14 points 8 months ago

"Where we go one we go all" it's some qanon stuff

[–] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 16 points 8 months ago

Tbf litterally the first thing was Nexstar media "HOW GABBARD PICK yadda yadda bolton " Plastered all over every local news station. So there is a point in digging on the establishment freaking out over it. Still the fren Qanon zone is cringe really guy?

What to know about Tulsi Gabbard: From Bernie backer to Trump intel nominee

RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA

As if they didn't just go through a campaign of smearing each other Red in some form or the other. I will absolutely dunk on Bolton. Easy to do.

cap-think But then again from Musk's perspective how do you do it without drawing too much attention to McDaddy being a bought stooge from the first term and totally not also bought his 2nd term? Silly Musk Melon melon-musk we wouldn't be in half this mess right now if it wasn't for Trump doing whatever Bolton and Renaissance Technologies (major bribers) wanted the first round.

Want to twist their arm a bit while dunking on Bolton?

did-someone not get his vanity Super Pac refilled this year?

Awwww whitte Johnny B only got $260k in his tiny bank grift account this round instead of the $4 Million he got in Trump's first term.
