    Elon gettin' his money's worth outta Trump.

    Oh, and from that article:

    After reports circulated Wednesday night of the State Department's intent
    to purchase Tesla vehicles, the document was edited, at 9:12 p.m., and now
    says the federal contract is for $400 million worth of "armored electric
    vehicles," but the word "Tesla" was removed.

    Wotta surprise.

    It doesn't seem plausible to me that there is the kind of God who watches
    over human affairs, listens to prayers, and tries to guide people to follow
    His precepts -- there is just too much misery and cruelty for that. On the other hand, I respect and envy the people who get inspiration from their religions.

    Suddenly you're against EVs.

    They were talking about this on the local stations yesterday.

    Apparently any convicted Republican crook across the country has a get
    out of jail free card, they don't even have to wait until the final
    days of Trump's term.

    What did polls show, at least 80% of the country opposed to pardoning
    the Jan. 6 rioters.

    The White House wants to recruit corporate sponsors to contribute to its
    Easter Egg Roll next month, raising ethical and legal concerns that
    President Trump is allowing companies to profit from the 147-year-old
    tradition by turning it into a showcase for their brands.

    The financial backers of the April 21 event would be able to choose from
    three options that cost between $75,000 and $200,000, according to a
    nine-page guide for potential sponsors that was reviewed by The New York
    Times.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teapot_Dome_scandal

    Before the Watergate scandal, Teapot Dome was regarded as the "greatest and
    most sensational scandal in the history of American politics". It
    permanently damaged the reputation of the Harding administration, already
    hurt by its handling of the Great Railroad Strike of 1922 and Harding's
    1922 veto of the Bonus Bill.

    Congress subsequently passed permanent legislation granting itself subpoena
    power over tax records of any U.S. citizen, regardless of position.
    These laws are also considered to have empowered Congress generally.

    | Even seasoned practitioners of Washington pay-to-play have
    | been startled by the new rules for buying influence. In
    | December, a seat at a group dinner at Mar-a-Lago could be
    | had for a million-dollar contribution to MAGA Inc., a super
    | PAC that serves as a war chest for the midterms. More
    | recently, one-on-one conversations with the President have
    | become available for five million. The return on investment
    | is uncertain, a government-affairs executive told me: "What
    | if he's in a bad mood? You have no clue where the money is
    | eventually going." Another lobbying veteran described the
    | frank exchange as "outer-borough Mafia shit."
    | ...
    | Trump has sold influence so briskly that the political
    | machinery cannot keep up. After he was offered a
    | four-hundred-million-dollar gift from the government of
    | Qatar--an airplane so opulent that it was dubbed the
    | "palace in the sky"--Dan Pfeiffer, a former White House
    | communications director, called it "the most brazenly
    | corrupt move by any President in U.S. history, and it's not
    | close." Less than a day later, a crypto venture owned by
    | the Trump family auctioned off a dinner with the President
    | at one of his golf clubs. The family profited from the
    | crypto auction twice over: from fees, which have so far
    | netted them and their partners three hundred and twenty
