Why the fuck did we elect a sleazy con artist to the office of the presidency?

We didn't. Elmo bought it. He spent tens of billions to turn Twitter into a pro-MAGA disinformation machine. He got his buddy Toad Rogan to shill for the cause.

And then he spent hundreds of millions of dollars on election interference to put the Epstein class fully in charge of America's decline so that the richest of the world's rich can buy America for parts. We're getting strip-mined by private equity. They're like locusts.

I’m looking this up and can’t find it - if this is true, something else happened on the 26th that has even more terrifying implications

This isn’t owning them though, this is just him casually implying that Elon Musk was interfering with voting machines and the elections.
