Tuesday Cartoons: Stabbed in the back.

Morning. I am so sick of that fucking orange turd, and he hasn’t even been president a month yet.

Did you see the latest?

Elon what’s to see the gold in Fort Knox:

'It's gone': Elon Musk suggests without evidence that gold was 'stolen' from Fort Knoxwww.rawstory.com/fort-knox/

You know, James Bond had to fight Goldfinger and Oddjob to keep them out of our gold deposits. Who the fuck is going to fight Elon and Trump?

Here’s some news updates:

Last week, Elon Musk appeared alongside Trump in the Oval to defend the work of DOGE. Looking directly at Musk, Trump asked; “Could you mention some of the things *your team* has found?” Tonight, the government claimed that Musk isn’t in charge of DOGE & isn’t a DOGE employee.

Trump Admin fired all of the US Attorneys appointed by Biden, informed them by email, and sent the messages to the wrong email addresses. Not just classless, but incompetent, too.

They're not even trying to hide it. This DOJ is going to investigate people for imaginary crimes in revenge for Trump being prosecuted for his very real crimes against the country. And they're proud of it.

“The Trump administration has begun firing hundreds of employees at the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), including some who maintain critical air traffic control infrastructure, despite four deadly crashes since inauguration day.”www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025…

Elon Musk's DOGE team of misfits have fired everybody at the Federal Aviation Administration ✈️ who is a probationary employeeThinking they have got rid of all the new hiresIt turns out many of these were experienced technicians, recently promoted and were on probation for their new senior role

IRS reportedly preparing to give Musk’s Doge agency access to taxpayer data

— The Guardian (@theguardian.com) 2025-02-17T17:18:36Z

Elon musk is the richest man in the world, he could be funding hospitals, medical research and universities. He could be solving the climate crisis. He could be feeding, hungry children. Instead, he’s trying to make sure that your grandmother doesn’t get an extra dollar of Social Security.

    What kind of ego does a person have to have to think they know everything. We’re in the grips of several, hundreds, millions? even, (two in particular) massively stupid men who know nothing who in all likelihood never matured beyond grade school levels on an emotional level.

    I knew this was going to be chaos but not at this level right out of the gate. I’m holding out hope we can survive and go into a course correction before too many more people die.

      I am trying to be so careful. Eventually, the creeps with the crosses will come out to spoil Mardi Gras. I just hope the Proud Boys stay home but they’ve been coming the last few years to mess with our GLBTQ community and any one that lets them.

    Hundreds of asylum seekers from around the globe are being trapped by the US in a Panama hotel where they’ll eventually be sent to a camp in the jungle. One Chinese man said “I thought: America is a free country with respect for human rights. I had no idea it was like a dictatorship.”
