Elon Musk will finally achieve his dream of people liking him, after President Trump made it a criminal offence not to, in an executive order signed today.

In what is believed to be a quid pro quo for over US$270 million in campaign donations, the executive order will also require Americans to laugh at Elon Musk’s jokes, a harsh stipulation which some experts say may contravene human rights.

Man do I wish Jeb Bush, from a family of political oligarchy, was what we had to deal with these days instead this shit.

I grew up in Florida. I remember Jeb Bush as governor. When the GOP rolled out their clown car of candidates that year, I hoped they picked Jeb.

It is arguably getting pretty hard to figure out which news articles are true and which not (if it wasn’t filed under The Onion. I guess that is probably not a good sign.

The other day I saw posts from The Onion and Not The Onion right next to each other in my feed. Guess which one sounded more far fetched?

I'm friends with Tom already, I don't need Elon in my life.

The reason I knew this wasn't true is because it said Elon Musk, not Trump.
