That has to be the absolute best way to spin “Our rocket blew up”. Somehow Elon Musk having his Space X launch yesterday fail spectacularly has turned the subsequent explosion minutes after Launch into a success. Just the way Space X characterized the explosion of it rocket has to make the media persons high school English teacher proud.
This launch failure seems to typify Musk’s track record as of late… $44 billion purchase of Twitter that has now lost nearly half its value and upstart social media platforms gaining more followers every day. Then one of the biggest pokes in the eye for the Twitter faithful, legacy blue checks being summarily taken away and replaced by only those willing to pay the billionaires ransom of $8 or $11 a month for the privilege of putting their content on his platform which he is already monetizing. Good job Elon you just turned what used to be a status symbol into a scarlet letter.
As fun as it is to poke fun at the man who was once the richest man on earth there a lot of other professional rake steppers in the headlines.
Representative MTG was summarily slapped down during a hearing this week for calling Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas a liar. This outburst caused her to be silenced for the rest of the hearing. Greene and her misinformation brigade want to spin the record amounts of fentanyl and high terrorism risk arrests at the border as an impeachable offence.
This is from ABC News.
The seizures include 50.6 million pills laced with the ultra-deadly synthetic opioid and 10,000 pounds of fentanyl powder, the DEA said.
“These seizures – enough deadly doses of fentanyl to kill every American – reflect the DEA’s unwavering commitment to protect Americans and save lives, by tenaciously pursuing those responsible for the trafficking of fentanyl across the United States,” DEA Administrator Anne Milgram said in a statement Friday.
Somehow this is a terrible thing.
The Biden Administration with Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, in 2 years, have stopped more drugs and more dangerous persons at the southern boarder than Trump magic wall did in 4 but that is a negative marks as far as the GOP and Fox are concerned.
Ron DeSantis is one of the leading GOP voices that continues to step on his own dick, signing an afterhours 6-week abortion ban. Then not so quietly threatening to maybe build a state prison close to Disney World. This guy everyone thought was going to be the ayre apparent to the latest Republican dumpster fire is absolutely show the world who he is. Even the ravenous GOP aren’t looking for a book banning, homophobe at least not outwardly.
So, I would have to say the GOP is having a Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly and I couldn’t be happier about it.
