Obnoxious Manchildren

 

Anyway, the South African-born acting president of the United States changed his name on the site formerly and mostly currently known as "X" to the delightfully childish "Harry Bōlz" which is a call-back from 2023 and seems less like the act of a 53-year-old with an important government job and more like the stunt of a 13-year-old with 40 years' experience with "Big Balls" envy.  (Very young, and already a special little piece of work.)

You know, you could be tempted to believe that maybe, Elon Musk isn't really a person you can treat as particularly responsible. He seems to be "eccentric", which is the culturally acceptable term for very wealthy people we suspect of being a bit batshit. (I think it's wild that he carries his frankly adorable toddler son about in a way that in my darkest imagination looks like "ready-made Greg Stillson event horizon.") 

I know. I go under the "obviously not given by any parents" handle "Vixen Strangely" and my blog is (thinking it all over) very bitchy and irreverent at times. Yet, I also have no White House approved discretion over any sensitive federal information and power over billions or trillions of government money. Even though I have made it to my 50s and somehow learned what Inspector Generals and congressional oversight committees actually do.

I can't help create obvious fuck-ups like the waste of half a billion in food aid (while there are starving people all over the globe!) and then fire the guy who quite responsibly reported on fraud and waste and performed government transparency--in a way that made Elon look bad.

I might be a little bit of a middle-aged Generation X slacker, but for fuck's sake! I'm not trying to impress young men half my age that I AM SO hip or a brilliant gamer or not a podgy aging dork to fill an endless aching void of neediness no amount of money could fill and taking out my sense of victimization on old and disabled people for a fucking tax cut. 

I'm kind of unloading on Musk, but frankly, we have a whole epidemic of aging immature manchildren in government right now. Every time I see Sen. John Kennedy bust out his "Hee Haw" character assholery, I am reminded that there hasn't been any new "Hee Haw" in over 30 years, the last time Kennedy was anywhere near young. 

And what can we even make of Republican Rep. Buddy Carter's filing some pure butt-kissing bill to dub Greenland as "Redwhiteandblueland"? 

It's rightly viewed across the Atlantic as childish, insulting, and absurd. But it's quite a fitting tribute to the childish, insulting and absurd toddler in chief this juvenile, this puerile nation has unbelievably re-elected. 

Because? It triggers the libs.

It's all just bra-snapping and mean mash notes and "hur-dur". The above screen capped muppet used to work in the Reagan White House and was sort of a public intellectual. And he's a happy little bottom-feeding internet troll. 

Is the Right even still making men? They all look like such fingerpainting thumbsuckers and whiny PABs. 

These are not serious adult people.
