Thank you David for your

opening essay.

I've said it before and will

continue to say it: Elon Musk

is a dangerous man. There

better be some way he can

controlled with his gov't

contracts! He's not the

brains, he's the money man

behind all his projects.

I have voted BLUE up and

down ballot in my deep red

state.

Blue up and down. If you were ever Republican or ever voted for trump, you helped get us to where we are.

I'm a Democrat living in a red state/AR. I have never voted

for a republican and never will.

Even when - not if! - he loses the election we are a long way from ridding ourselves of the orange cancer, as we all expect more wrangling, law suits, countless TV appearances, social-media exhortations to his supporters to "Fight! Fight! Fight!", and other trauma-inducing acts all the way to Inauguration Day, and probably beyond.

And there is the matter of tRump's pending, oft-delayed trials, which would engender more outbreaks of outrage from the man, probably through 2026, assuming even more indictments don't come his way.

Honestly, only death itself will at last shut him up and remove his galling, vexatious presence from our lives, an occurrence I've longed for since he road down the trashy, gold-plated escalator nearly ten years ago.

One lives in hope.

So, the "comedian" did run his set by the Trump folks? I thought they didn't know what he was going to say.

And regarding Bezos, didn't he have a meeting with Trump right before the Post made the decision to not back any candidate? My thinking is he made a deal re his space travel business that would get his foot into the door of government contracts.

Yesterday Hinchcliffe discovered that the nickels he brings in fees to WME don't matter against the $$$$ fellow WME client Bad Bunny brings in. Didn't take five minutes for him to be fired, and after being fired 5 years ago for being a talentless racist asswipe by another agency, good luck with getting that "agent" whose "office" is the payphone outside Lucy's El Adobe on Melrose to pick him up. The technical Hollywood term for this is Your. Career. Is. Now. Fucked.

I believe that only Blue Origin execs were present, and tRump sought them out, just to rub it in to Bezos that both parties were "transacting business", wink-wink, nudge-nudge.
