Elon Musk and Trump are giving us a blockbuster movie ending.

You know, like Ocean Eleven and the Sting when you think it's all over you think the bad guys are going to prevail and suddenly at the very end something changes to flip everything in favor of true justice.

Musk's use of Twitter to battle Trump, escalating at every minute as he trashes Trump is only going to give us that kind of ending.

By this time tomorrow Congress might have to start talking about an investigation to find out how much of it is true.

That tweet about the election was a confession.
Let the subpoenas fly.

8-10 Senators, 35-50 House.

Until then, it's pointless.

I still gotta think the majority stick with Trump, but all it would take would be a few to step off the curb.

From Scarface, the scene where Tony Montana is talking to Alejandro Sosa on the phone after he kills Sosa's hit man in NYC. Like a cleaner, 21st century version of that phone call.

Got a feeling Leon once told the Convicted Felon "don't you ever fcuk me" much like Sosa told Montana when they first met.
