Put a cover over it, turn the pump off and forget it. Top it up once a year. You could leave it unattended for years and the water will still be recoverable.

Elon is a smart cookie, and Vivek is no slug. But the Washington swamp is deep and treacherous.  They need to come up with a plan that is so quick and effective, that the swamp monsters don't have time to react or wreak vengeance. 

Something along the lines of a blitzkrieg attack - a full court press across multiple fronts that prevents the various swamp creatures and TLA agencies from helping to defend each other and bog the two Likely Lads down in litigation.

I have no idea what that might look like. Maybe something as simple as disabling all the access cards and cellphones of a selected  80% of government employees at 02:59 on a Sunday.

Whatever they do, they have to wreak instant havoc in every department to avoid being devoured by the swamp.

And let's face it. If every government department did absolutely nothing for a month, the world would be a much happier place. I think Musk is well aware of this. He would have no issue with government coming to a total standstill.

I agree in principle, but Boris' character is about as deep as a shallow puddle.

Methinks you do an injustice to the Bard. Surely, The Tragedy of King Lear is more appropriate. 

"I am a very foolish fond old man,
Fourscore and upward, not an hour more nor less;
And, to deal plainly,
I fear I am not in my perfect mind."

Credit where credit is due, JT was still actively posting as of Friday, but he may now be feeling a little bit punch-drunk. 

Trump's biggest mistake in 2016 was not clearing out the DOJ and sending Hillary's ass to jail. I hope he overcomes his first term naivety this time around.

I can't take seriously any suggestion to listen to Tucker Carlson! 

 

I am well acquainted with how Trumpists think. You act like you're telling something new to me. Do you imagine I would be persuaded by their idiocy?

 

 

Also you think I only look at left wing sources.

So you haven't noticed that my primary influence on matters Trump is from conservative never Trumper types, now mostly ex republican. 

Your response is so typically paradoxical, I'll retire from the conversation to go and watch Whoopi and Joy Baher on The View. Maybe I need a reality check. 

JT - I do this every day, perhaps you should try it.  For every hour you spend watching/your favoured left wing media sources, spend an equivalent hour watching/reading media sources with opposing views or a different interpretation.

By sourcing information from both sides, some sort of balance is achieved in one's mind. You are better able to understand opposing opinions.

I thoroughly understand your hatred of Trump. The MSM portrayal of him as a rabid Hitlerite has convinced many people for many years that he is in fact Hitler re-incarnate.

Watch at least a few hours of Shapiro, Rubin, Peterson, Carlson, Crowder, Kirk, the Hodge Bros, Brandon Tatum, Anthony Logan, to name a few.

Eventually, even though you will probably not change your political perspective, you may come to realise that what you call "Maga Fascists" actually have opinions equally as valid as those on the left..

You may not realise this - Trump supporters actually think Trump is a bit of an idiot and buffoon, constantly puts his foot in his mouth, is a genuine comedian, but also wants the world to be a genuinely better place, and a bit like everyone's obnoxious uncle - is not afraid to say what he thinks and call a spade a spade.

Anyway, try what I've suggested and suffer through some opposing views on youtube.  Maybe start with Jordan Peterson - he will calm your soul.

Somebody once described trying to define fascism is like trying to nail jelly to a wall, or herd a bunch of cats. Fascism has existed on the left and right. But I think JT is confusing fascism with authoritarianism.

But I'm pretty sure that no definition of fascism or authoritarianism includes; smaller and less powerful government, curtailment of rogue bureaucrats, lower taxes, greater freedom of speech, no wars, opposition to corporate bailouts, religious freedom, and an unbiased legal system.

My lifelong policy is to treat the taxman like a mushroom, and keep them in the dark. I won't be changing my policy - they can come and find me. Catch me if you can. 

MSNBC has Wisconsin as Trump 50.9 and Harris 47.5 with 96% counted. They refuse to call it for Trump. Similar numbers in the other rust belt states.

This is a train wreck for the Left. Perhaps the Dems may have a round table and conclude that their extreme woke anti-human policies are not what the people want. But I doubt it.

Take away all their privileges. All of them. Medical, financial, access. The can all go deliver mail instead.

Actually, I wouldn't trust them to even deliver the mail - the job requires integrity and honesty.

Kamala won DC by 90%.  Now that's the swamp, by definition.

Wonder what she is going to do now. The woman so disliked that being a "black" ( LOL ) woman that isn't Trump wasn't enough to win the election. Not only has she lost the election, she lost the popular vote as well.

 

If she isn't humiliated she has no shame.

McDonald's drive-thru maybe?  I mean I know she doesn't have the qualifications, but I'm sure Trump will put in a good word for her.
