Today's News: It's another edition of "Christ, what an asshole!"

Elon Musk - he will be the gift that keeps on giving, at least until he has bashed Twitter into the ground:

The funniest thing about this is that Elon Musk thinks the issue is that Stephen King is balking at the $20 per month fee. pic.twitter.com/BB5rnmaKKb

One thing they don’t teach you in business school is that product pricing is often determined through live negotiations with Stephen King. https://t.co/5CeDL6Iw9l

Unless he's trying to tank this place on purpose, I've never seen somebody more out of their depth in my life. The dog has caught the car and is now demanding the car pay for gas. https://t.co/Pp5TcaAsIl

Elon's inner 12-year-old is emerging now:

A better term for this project would be "on-demand kiddie porn" because that's EXACTLY what's going to happen. https://t.co/ByO1Odat2j

Everyone is declaring "their stance" about whether they will quit Twitter or not:

Republicans - their reaction to the attack on Paul Pelosi is very telling, isn't it:

"One might think that it would be easy for America... to condemn an attempt to kidnap the woman second in line to the presidency that resulted in the beating of her husband with a hammer... Instead, we have seen the dark heart of the Republican Party," writes @RadioFreeTom https://t.co/mV9O8Kv4Y1

Paul Pelosi isn’t having sex with male prostitutes, you’re getting him confused with Lindsey Graham.

Whether it’s seeking to gut Social Security or cheering on the brutal attempted murder of an elderly man with a hammer, Republicans have remained focused on America's seniors.

And reading the story about what happened, I didn't think San Francisco Police exactly covered themselves with glory, either - when they burst into the Pelosi front hall, they couldn't seem to understand at first that an 82-year-old man was trying to fight off a guy waving around a hammer. 

Ford government - thinking they can use the Notwithstanding clause like an eraser as an easy way just to wipe out their incompetence and stop education workers from going on strike, instead of - like, you know - actually bargaining in good faith and reaching a contract settlement:

The right to strike was never *granted* by government. It was *won* by workers. Labour, it's time to remember our history.#onted#onpoli

Workers have the freedom to strike. It is protected by the Charter.

Using the notwithstanding clause to suspend workers rights is an affront to democracy. pic.twitter.com/N77sQk5xW9

The Premiers are using the Nowithstanding Clause to undermine the Supreme Court’s ability to protect your rights. I wrote this a while ago, but it’s apparently evergreen. https://t.co/KW3OZEW1zZ

Trudeau used the Emergencies Act to help others.

Doug Ford uses the notwithstanding clause to help himself.

FluTruxKlan organizers - testifying this week at the Public Order Emergency Commission hearings:

The level of entitlement at #EmergenciesActInquiry this afternoon is off the charts. Raging at the PM for American and provincial mandates.

Houston Astros - because no matter how much MLB and the media try to play it down, there are millions of fans who will never forgive or forget the 2017 sign-stealing cheating scandal and it will always taint their World Series win that year. 

The Phillies fans were booing Altuve again tonight in Philadelphia because he was one of the players on that cheating team.

The Philly fans are good at yelling "Cheater!" at Altuve, Bregman and Gurriel, who were there in 2017, and just booing the hell out of the rest of the Astros lineup.

— Bill Shaikin (@BillShaikin) November 2, 2022

Oh, I really want to see the Phillies win this series:

The Houston Astros are a perfectly engineered baseball machine of death no one in their right minds would challenge, but the Philadelphia Phillies are “That sign can’t stop me because I can’t read” personified as a baseball team.
