It's just something to grab the headlines and make people focus on something other than Hegseth and China.

His ego won't let him do that.
If he's not the center of attention for more than a few days he does something stupid or outrageous to get the cameras pointing at him again.
This is just the latest example of that. Everyone's been talking about Hegseth and the Pope so it's the perfect time for him to play "victim" and talk about how the "evil left" is making him feel bad with their words.

Antarctica is even more uninhabited and he could build 10 cities there for the same price as one small Mars colony.
And it's warmer, the air is breathable, and only takes a few hours to get to on a plane instead of months in space.
Anything built to survive the surface of Mars would work on Antarctica for a fraction of the cost.

Musk doesn't want to be surrounded by minorities and liberals, even as Martian slaves, he's got robots for that.

Musk wants Mars populated with his rich white buddies and their families.
The rest of us will be slaves here on earth, with the food and goods we produce shipped to Mars.

The people sent to El Salvador will meet the same fates as those in the German concentration camps.

There's no such thing as a "vaccine skeptic".
Skeptic implies that they could have their opinion swayed if presented with evidence. The fact that they're still "skeptical" despite literal mountains of evidence shows that they only call themselves "skeptics" because it makes them sound reasonable, when in reality if they could have been swayed by reason they would have changed their minds a long time ago.

Especially since he'll probably want an exception for his junk.
125% for everything with the exception of trump branded bullshit, honestly I'm kind of surprised it's not already in the fine print.

Guess we're going to see a flood of cheap Chinese stuff in every other market in the world too soon.

And people in those markets are set to make billions by importing cheep Chinese goods, placing them in packaging made in their country, and exporting to the US with a markup.

I already know it happens because I've done it at a factory here in the United States.
I worked for a plastic injection molding company and we would import cheap Chinese metal tools and parts, for example a garden hose sprayer, then injection mold a plastic handle around it that covered the "made in China" stamp and repackage it in boxes that said "proudly made in the USA"
This was all good and legal because the plastic handle and packaging were indeed made in the USA and our company didn't consider them finished products without the handles.

The old testament in Christianity is just the Torah of the Jewish faith.
With the Mormons they've added a 3rd testament they call the book of Mormon.
I'd argue they're just as separated from Christians as Christians are from Jews.

Hopefully the optics of them kissing Trump's ass will piss the populous off enough that they put pressure on their leaders to not take his shit.

Conservatives seem to think all contrails are "chemtrails"
Florida's tourist economy is going to collapse when no one can fly there unless they're in a prop plane.
I'm happy for them though, they've really earned it.

My OS is on a 512gb M.2 drive, but the main storage on my laptop was a 1TB HDD, it started making noise about 2 weeks ago so I backed everything up onto a 1TB SanDisk USB SSD. This afternoon it got very clicky when I booted it up after work and icons for a few games I had stored on it, like KSP and YUZU, disappeared from the desktop and taskbar.
