So President Musk and his convicted felon-in-chief sidekick want to lecture others on efficiency? [1]

Very unelected President Musk, his very unelected band of young incel acolytes, convicted felon, traitor and all-around imbecile Trump, and all of his many, many chickenshit coward enablers in this lawless Administration and the Republican Party as a whole like to think they know all there is to know about “efficiency.” Hell, they even created a nonexistent “Department of Government Efficiency” dedicated to the cause.

Well, funny thing about that. Like so many other things about the abomination of a treasonous administration and its pathetic, spineless supporters, they are the last people on the planet to be lecturing anyone else about efficiency.

Hilariously, of course, it started at the very beginning in November when unelected Musk, and unelected and pathetic lickspittle and toady Vivek Ramaswamy seized this domain as co-heads of the nonexistent DOGE. Because, as Senator Warren pointed out at the time, nothing says efficiency quite like having two people doing the work of one person.

But apart from all the massive inefficiencies that will undoubtedly result from having to belatedly respond and fix the massive fuck ups, delays, and problems that will be caused by these lawless, unelected, corrupt assholes as they aggressively seek to destroy all aspects of the federal government that they don’t like — which is to say, most of it — this Administration is and will be defined in part by his proud embrace of inefficiency.

Here are just a few examples —

Fuel Efficiency Standards — This Administration is working hard to make our cars less fuel efficient. California’s policies, in particular — and its ability to seek a waiver from EPA to make stricter fuel standards than the national level — are coming under attack.

Light Bulbs — Trump has long had a hatred for efficient light bulbs; he wants to bring back incandescent light bulbs. One problem is…. factories don’t even make those anymore.

Dishwashers, showers, and toilets — On Friday, the convicted felon and corrupt sexual assaulter and bankrupter of casinos called for easing water efficiency standards for appliances and fixtures like dishwashers and sinks. This stable genius — otherwise known as an international embarrassment, racist, and traitor — stated, “People buy a house, they turn on the sink and water barely comes out, they take a shower and water barely comes out, and it’s an unnecessary restriction.” He has long complained about low-flow shower heads that he says merely drip water — during the 2020 campaign, he claimed, “You turn on the shower — if you’re like me, you can’t wash your beautiful hair properly,” — as well as toilets which he lies about, allegedly forcing people to flush “10 times, 15 times as opposed to once” Environmental groups, of course, correctly point out that these efficiency rules would save consumers billions of dollars in energy costs and avoid millions of tons in carbon dioxide emissions.

And of course, while it’s not an efficiency issue, don’t get me started on his embrace of plastic straws, again to the significant detriment of our environment.

We are being governed by an incoherent, drooling ape — which, as a wildlife junkie, I apologize to all other apes for.

Seriously, what kind of Neanderthalish idiot is hellbent on making us as inefficient as possible — on all fronts — simultaneously wreaking additionally harm on our environment and planet?

So, when it comes to taking lessons about efficiency from anyone, like the alleged lack of qualifications for “DEI hires” and so many other topics, file this under the category of “Republicans — kindly STFU.”
