... Buttigieg first condemned the president’s speech to a joint session of Congress as “classic Trump” with “a lot of darkness” and “a lot of dazzle” but with “very, very little about the things that most affect our lives.”
Then, the former Democratic presidential candidate predicted Trump will “continue to slide” in popularity if he doesn’t start to deliver on improving the economy and affordability.
“Let’s remember, despite what you heard tonight, [Trump] came in with just under 50% of the vote,” Buttigieg said of November’s vote.
“He won, I’m not disputing that. But the smallest popular vote margin since Nixon,” he added.
Then came the zinger: “I wonder how he feels about something that important being that small in his case?”
Buttigieg let the gag/question ― which clearly targeted Trump’s sensitivities about having the biggest everything (be it crowd sizes, polling results or whatever...) ― hang in the air.
“And he has lost support from there and he will continue to,” Buttigieg added, as the audience applauded.
“To be smaller than Tricky Dick gives one pause, I would say,” host Stephen Colbert quipped in response.
It’s cute how pre-Trump Elon Musk was a hero to liberals for developing electric-powered cars. But now liberals are condemning him and actually vandalizing these same cars.
Whereas my opinion on Musk and electric vehicles has always been the same.

Do you understand that things can change? People can change. Opinions can change. Sometimes for the worst.
If I had a friend that started being a shit bag, my opinion of them would change and I would probably no longer want to associate with them.
Why is this such a difficult concept to understand? I am truly baffled that people cannot grasp this simple concept.
Opinion changing on Musk because of his actions isn't any different from what happens frequently when the "hero" turns out to have feet of clay. The revered minister gets caught diddling the church secretary. Opps. Your stock broker gets caught skimming your earnings. Opps. Musk could still be admired for some of his tech accomplishments and be despised as the creature he's become.

As GoCubsGo and Whack9 link, the point was made and answered yesterday. It’s cute how you and Supplicantsalemgr parrot the same nonsensical Faux Noise talking point.
Liberals aren't vandalizing any cars. Radicals do that.
“Here’s the reason, by the way, that Donald Trump threatens our allies and not people that really deserve threats … because he’s small, he’s scared, he’s a coward, and you can threaten your friends because you know you’re not going to start a war over it, and it makes you look really tough.
“If you tweet in all caps and then you threaten Panama, it makes you look like you’re ready to go to war, and tough. “But he doesn’t say much about Iran, he’s pretty quiet on that, certainly Russia, and China he’s been quiet on lately, because there’s a reality with that.”
