The Huffpost headline read, “Partners in slime: DeSantis to Launch with Elon Musk Assist.”
Partners in slime?
Try as I may, I can’t find where either man eulogized an Imperial Cyclops of the KKK, calling him a mentor. Google just can’t seem to point to any grandchildren, born to a stripper, they refuse to acknowledge. I’m exhausted trying to find a quote where they said that all black people all think alike, while the Latino community offers diversified thought.
I’m pretty sure there are no photos of either of these men’s children smoking crack and/or having sex with hookers. Haven’t seen any evidence of them selling access to their offices to enemies of America. Can’t find where either man opposed integrating schools because doing so would lead to their kids growing up in a “racial jungle.”
I tried DuckDuckGo to find where either of them insulted America’s Indian community, making a joke about them working at Dunkin’ Donuts. No luck. I’m vexed looking for a time when one of them pinpointed the place where a loved one died — and missed by 6,900 miles. There seems to be a void in whether either man claimed to have been in attendance at an historic event like the civil rights marches, when they weren’t.
I searched endlessly for a time when one of these two men stated something as stupid as that “printing money will help reduce inflation.” I did find where both men have fired people, but it seems it didn’t result in over 100,000+ employees being left to the mercy of a ruthless, murderous, religious cult. And, darn it, I can’t find where either man made an error so egregious, it shut down the world’s economy.
Thanks to Governor Ron DeSantis’ policies, Florida is the fastest growing state in the Union. Is this because all those transplants decided they wanted a governor best described as “slimy?” Or might it be because the state offered sane Covid policies? Perhaps low taxes drew them? Maybe it’s because governor DeSantis won’t back down from the lunatics in the left-wing Cult O’ Wokebags™?

Elon Musk was a darling of the left for his development of electric vehicles. SpaceX has been a rockstar company everyone agrees is awesome. He also parked a Starlink satellite over Ukraine, free of charge. Musk was a guy both sides admired.
Then … the slimy bastard bought Twitter, and fired all the useless, lazy dead weight. And even Marine infantrymen were horrified to see employees sleeping on an inflatable mattress in a climate control building within easy reach of Uber Eats. Oh, the humanity!
Next, Musk had the nerve to announce Twitter would be a free speech platform, no longer taking orders from the FBI or Democrat politicians. The Left raged that Twitter would become a platform for hate speech and racism … a place where even someone like Joe Biden could insult people of color.
One lefty journalist, James Clayton of the BBC, bravely jumped on the grenade, and confronted one of the smartest man on the planet. Surely his keen BA in journalism would carry the day!
Here’s how that went down …
Clayton: We’ve spoken to people very recently who were involved in moderation. And they just say there’s not enough people to police this stuff. Particularly around – particularly around hate speech in the company. Is that something that you-
Musk: What hate speech are you talking about? I mean, you use Twitter?
Clayton: Right.
Musk: Do you see a rise in hate speech? Just your personal anecdote, like what … do you? I don’t.
Clayton: Personally, my ‘For You,’ I would say I get more of that kind of content. Yeah. Personally. But I’m not going to talk for the rest of Twitter.
Musk: You see more hate speech personally?
Clayton: I would say see more hateful content in that.
Musk: Content you don’t like, or hateful. What do you mean? Describe a hateful thing?
Clayton: Yeah, I mean, you know, just content that will solicit a reaction. Something that may include something that is slightly racist or slightly sexist. Those kinds of things.
Musk: So you think if it’s something is slightly sexist it should be banned? IS that what you’re saying?
Clayton: No, I’m not saying anything. I’m saying-
Musk: I’m just curious. I’m trying to understand what you mean by “hateful content.” And I’m asking for specific examples. And you just said that if something is slightly sexist, that’s hateful content. Does that mean that it should be banned?
Clayton: Well, you’ve asked me whether my feed, whether it’s got less or more – and I’d say it’s got slightly more.
Musk: That’s why I’m asking for examples. Can you name one example?
Clayton: I honestly don’t… honestly, I …
Musk: You can’t name a single example?
Clayton: I’ll tell you why. Because I don’t actually use that ‘For You’ feed anymore. Because I just don’t particularly like it. Actually a lot of people are quite similar. I only look at my following.
Musk: Well, hang on … hang on a second. You said you’ve seen more hateful content, but you can’t name a single example. Not even one.
Clayton: I’m not sure I’ve used that feed for the last three or four weeks. And I honestly couldn’t-
Musk: Then how could you see the hateful content?
Clayton: Because I’ve been using it. I’ve been using Twitter since you’ve taken it over for the last six months.
Musk: Then you must have at some point seen the ‘For You’ hateful content. I’m asking for one example.
Clayton: Right.
Musk: And you can’t give a single one.
Clayton: And I’m saying-
Musk: Then I say, sir, that you don’t know what you’re talking about.
Clayton: Really?
Musk: Yes. Because you can’t give me a single example of hateful content. Not even one tweet. And yet you claimed that the hateful content was high. That’s false.
Clayton: No. What I claimed-
Musk: You just lied.
This is where we are in modern America. Conservatives are openly called “bitter, clinging to their guns and religion.” “Enemies.” “Deplorables. “Slimy.” Not by socialists, but by the people elected to serve all Americans … and by the media that’s supposed to report the news, not express their opinions.
I understand the Left’s hatred of Donald Trump: He embarrassed them. He took the wreckage given to him by President Obama, and turned it around: The economy roared; joblessness among blacks and women were at an all-time low; he sealed the border; he made NATO “allies” begin to pay their share of Europe’s defense; he removed us from trade deals that hurt American companies; he exited the laughable Paris Climate Accords, which give developing countries carte blanche to pollute; he empowered America to reach energy independence; his leadership developed the vaccine the Left so adores.
But, he embarrassed them – all of them – and thus became political enemy number one.
Fine. I get it. I viewed Barack Obama as political enemy number one, and now view Biden as political enemy number one. But that doesn’t mean I consider every Democrat politician to be slimy. Stupid, yes — but not slimy. I don’t know enough about them to call them slimy. Very few people do. Yes, you may view the representatives from your state to be slimy, but at least that’s based on the fact that you’re bombarded by local news about them.

Is AOC slimy? I have no clue. I know she’s an idiot, but corrupt? There’s no evidence of that that I’ve seen. Most members of Congress are ghosts. They have no opinions, never speak up, and get re-elected because the average voter is a moron.
Today, just having an (R) by your name and announcing plans to run for President inspires the media to call you slimy … and obvious analogy for “corrupt.”
But Ron DeSantis? Elon Musk?
None of the Leftists reading these words knows a damn thing about DeSantis’ successes or policies. Their entirety of knowledge is about his battle against sex being taught to children, and the perverts running Disney. That’s it. Everything a Leftist thinks they know was filtered by the media, and translated to a sixth grade level.
And Elon Musk? A darling of the Left for a decade? He’s gone from being a McLiberal to a common-sense centrist – meaning he must now be slandered in every way possible. No thought should be given as to why his beliefs evolved – the fact he no longer thinks in lockstep with the socialists means he’s no better than a common criminal.
In terms of billionaires and politicians, these two appear as close to Boy Scouts as you’re going to find … but the Left believes they must be destroyed, because DeSantis wants to replace a man who literally doesn’t know where he is, and Musk thinks he’d do a good job.
At some point down the road, squeaky-clean Tim Scott will be a serious presidential candidate, and he too will be attacked as some sort of slimy monster. I can’t wait to see the metal gymnastics the Party of Inclusion goes through to slander an earnest, honest black gentleman.

No need to slime DeSantis. Just quote him and his wife. BTW, Will … you slime up your website by including this wannabe William Buckley sophomoric embarrassment as a contributor.
DullSantis is notorious for cooking the books on COVID, crime, and just about everything else to make Florida look better than it is.
He lost a fight with Mickey Mouse, ferchrissakes.
Oh noes, they’re saying mean things about DeSantis! I mean, true things, but, but, they’re mean!
Quick, let’s retreat to a safe space blog where I can have a good cry about it!
You tend to receive a lot of negative comments from sixth graders.
In all fairness, this column is rather like a 6th grader wrote it.
Lord I hope Drunkle isn’t considered 6th grade level, otherwise Will might have a point about failing public schools.
FYI– Twitter has lost two-thirds of its former value since Elon Musk took over. Also, he didn’t found Tesla, he just brought into it and then had himself listed as a co-founder. He’s not and never was. But I’m glad to see your vision for the future of the US is to turn it into an ecological disaster, like Ron DeSantis has done to Florida. But I’m oh so very amused at the guy who devours every word he sees and every lie he hears on Fox and then whines about the “liberal media”.
I closed my Twitter account solely based on a Tweet from Elon Musk extending an open arms welcoming to a pathological liar that was permanently banned by Twitter. I think you may know who I’m referring to.
But I found it entertaining as hell to learn of the massive technical glitches that interfered with the Trump/Musk Dog and Pony Show featuring Trump’s announcement.
Frankly, I never understood why a person with such a fragile ego and hates living under a microscope wanted to run for president. I can only guess that one of Trump’s sons wants to be president. Here’s the dialog:
Barron: Father, when I grow up, I want to be President.
Trump: Here. Hold my beer. Watch this!
I am a cisgender (had to look that up in the dictionary) male, but DeSantis has entered into a “pissing contest” with Disney.
PS: Huffington Post is not my news source. Faux News is not my source either.
“Hold my beer. Watch this” is often one’s last words before making an entry into the Darwin Awards website.
You are funny. You call everyone who does not fall for your fake bravado a leftist and stupid. I consider myself a middle-of-the-road average American, but I admit Trump did embarrass me. It embarrassed me that our country would elect a man who was an admitted criminal, narcissist, and pathological liar to the White House. He is the exact type of person our founders feared would obtain the Presidency. And boy, he did live up to my expectations of him. He used his office for personal profit; he directed government employees to stay in his hotels when traveling at taxpayer expense; he used his office to ask favors of foreign leaders for his business interests and his children’s businesses; and he cozied up to murderous dictators and dished our allies, leaving us the most vulnerable we had been in decades to advances by our enemies. But that is not enough. Then he went after the economy. He was the first President since Hoover, to leave office with fewer jobs in the country than when he came into office. He bungled the pandemic by lying about it, until it was too late. He then refused to take responsibility and organize a proper response, leaving each state on its own to address its problems. He pushed through tax cuts for his buddies the country could not afford and ran up the largest non-wartime annual deficits in history. Finally, he ended his Presidency by orchestrating an attempted coup, an attack on our Capitol, and stealing classified government documents, to be used for his political or economic gain. He is then forced the government to prosecute him by refusing to return them when asked to do so.
As for me being stupid, since Trump left office, we have restored all of the jobs he lost and produced more. Manufacturing is returning to the US and leaving China at a record pace. Trump’s annual deficits have been cut in half and are going down. Unemployment is at a FIFTY-YEAR low. Black unemployment is at a FIFTY-YEAR low. Our GDP is over twice what it was at any time during the Trump presidency; NATO is more potent than it has been in decades and Russia is weaker than at any time since the collapse of the Soviet Union. We have passed a badly needed infrastructure bill, and we have passed the Chips Act which is bringing badly needed Computer Chip Manufacturing back to the US. Not to mention there are more sanctions and tariffs against China in place than when Trump was President, and we are building new stronger alliances with the Japanese, the South Koreans, the Philippines, and the Australians to foster more defense spending by those countries to counter China’s aggressive military growth. No one wanted an alliance with us under Trump because we could not be trusted.
So will I ever support a man who bragged about being just like Trump? Hell no. I take him at his word, and I do not want my country to elect another dictator wannabe. Is he sleazy? Well we do have pictures of him partying with high school students, but I don’t need that. If he is just like Trump, that is by definition sleazy; and the fact that he thinks we should not do anything to a man who stole classified information and whose own Justice Department prosecuted people for far less tells me all I need to know about how he regards the rule of law.
DeSantis is doing a damned fine job of sliming himself by getting into a pissing contest wi Disney and banning Anheuser-Busch Busch beer from the state of Florida for their LGBTQ+ spokesperson.
