What the fuck is Mastodon!

I am deeply offended that Elon Musk showed up at the Whitehouse for the cabinet meeting not wearing a traditional suit and tie. How dare he disrespect the Whitehouse and this honorable presidency.

The United States of America is in collective shock specifically and souly at his attire! There is nothing I care more about than what kind of clothing that man wears when at only and specifically at the Whitehouse.

As an American (or at least a non Japanese native) if my boss came up to me yelling and swearing in my face I would punch him out cold.

Actually if more Japanese did this I think things would improve at the office.

It really is. In the US I mean. I work 6 days a week 9 am till whenever the fuck I'm done. Sometimes at 1pm and some nights I'm not home by 7pm.

Luckily I've negotiated less work orders on Saturday later in the morning so I have some kind of decline of work towards the end of the week. It took six years of constant work to get even that. Otherwise it's 7 work orders a day and I drive around 150 miles a day. (I work in household appliance repair. So I travel from home to home.)

It's a thankless job I get micromanaged in. The only advantage I have is that appliance repair techs are always in high demand because there's so few of us and I'm good at my job so my boss can't really fire me.

Let me spell this out for you even further.

  1. Trump and zielinsky have it out.

  2. Zielinsky leaves the White house by himself. There is even a video on him getting into his car.

  3. Zielinskys staff stay at the White house in hopes of further negotiations.

  4. A measurable amount of time passes.

  5. Trump orders zielinsky's staff to leave the White House.

I don't know what is troubling or confusing about this series of events but you seem to be some kind of idiot.

Wow the confidently incorrect is strong with you.

It literally says that zielinsky left in the motorcade and then Trump ordered his staffers to tell zelinsky staffers to leave the White House.

Zielinsky was never ordered to leave the White House he left on his own accord then his people were ordered to leave after he left.

It even says Trump later ordered his staff to leave.

Your considerable amount of smug is choking the life out of me.

I wanted to comply this data specifically for you. I found the data myself but had GPT formatted for me because I'm lazy. It looks like they're actually more deaths with electric equipment than there is with gas but I'm guessing that's because there's more electric appliances than gas appliances. Even so the data speaks for itself there is no significant safety Factor associated with gas versus electric in terms of explosions or fire hazards. The only significant differences is that gas produces more harmful chemicals when it's burned

Gas and electric appliances both pose fire and explosion risks, though in different ways.

Gas Appliances (Stoves, Furnaces, Water Heaters):

Fire Incidents: 44,210 home fires annually from heating equipment (NFPA).

Explosions: 23 gas-related home explosion deaths in 2023, the deadliest year in two decades (PHMSA).

Health Risks: Emissions of carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides contribute to respiratory and cardiovascular diseases.

Electric Appliances (Stoves, Furnaces, Water Heaters):

Fire Incidents: 51,000 electrical fires yearly, causing ~500 deaths, 1,400 injuries, and $1.3 billion in damages (ESFI).

Recent Recalls:

LG (2025): 500,000 ovens recalled due to fire hazard (28 fires, injuries, pet fatalities).

Samsung (2024): 1 million electric ranges recalled due to fire risk (250 fires, 40 injuries).

Both require proper maintenance and safety precautions, but gas carries additional explosion and health risks, while electric fires are often linked to faulty wiring and design flaws.

Ok. Here's a screenshot of the above synopsis of this article where it says that the Ukrainian president left in his motorcade and then later Trump ordered his officials to leave the White House.

I see nothing in any artical where Zelenskyy was given an express order to leave the White house.
