Why? What kind of shit did he start now?

Big Balls (the DOGE kid musk hired) got beat up in DC while supposedly saving a woman from being carjacked or something by 10 people. Somehow that's an adequate reason to take over the city.

We're living in a joke.

He got his ass kicked. That fuck wouldn't pour an ounce of water to save a man dying of thirst.

[–] Aviandelight@mander.xyz 30 points 2 weeks ago

If any of that was actually real I'll eat my hat. I'd be more willing to believe the little shit just got his ass beat but with this rotten admin the whole thing is likely made up.

[–] Whostosay@sh.itjust.works 23 points 2 weeks ago

I actually did witness him doing that, I was right next to him saving an ultra-baby from a super-fire at the mega-charity.

What are ten people going to do with one car?

[–] ProdigalFrog@slrpnk.net 6 points 2 weeks ago

You're right! That gives a clue as to who the perps were...

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Give Big Balls an excuse for why his ass got beat by two 15-year-olds.

This is no joke. This is deadly serious. Fascism is here.

while supposedly saving a woman from being carjacked or something by 10 people

Yeah, sure, that really happened.

Sadly obligatory /s

Epstein smokescreen, but one that brings him closer to his goal of authoritarianism, all because 19 year old Big Balls got attacked by a couple of 15 year olds.

Two 15-year-olds tried to carjack a former doge employee, at least that's the excuse. It's an attention-splitter: either the press raise outrage on the DC takeover, or they raise outrage over the Epstein files. Either way, he's wins.

[–] jacksilver@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

That's what allegedly happened, wouldn't surprise me if that's not the real story.

My money is on drug buying gone wrong. Big balls probably ran out of Aderall to soon this month.
