And to me it appears like this has nothing to do with social security fraud, unless he’s getting 400k checks every month. That’s your run of the mill identity theft case.

The US hasn’t properly declared war since 1942, despite being at war pretty much constantly since. If Trump decides to open the gates at Thule airbase and little green men take over Greenland, who’s going to do anything about it (domestically or abroad)?

Yeah, I was actually wondering if it’s still necessary if every toothpaste already has fluoride in it. It’s probably still better to keep adding it just in case, since there’s no real downside to doing it. But I guess we’ll see in a generation what the long term effect is.

If Trump is smart, he’ll let Musk do all the unpopular project 2025 stuff, then throw him in prison at the end and escape the blame personally. This way he gets to keep popularity with his base while telling his donors they got everything they asked for. It’s what all dictators do, really.

They’re not going to use Java, it’s going to be typescript.

Yeah, there’s almost 100 years of law, case law and agency regulations built into how this software works. And they fired all the people that knew anything about it.

Yeah, this is going to end in disaster.

I mean, in a Trump administration that’s basically a given. We saw that during the pandemic.

I guess even r/whitepeopletwitter wasn’t white enough for Musk.

Finally someone’s doing something about the cost of living crisis.

The random number they generated is 53.

Yeah, I’m sure we’ll find out which other Jeffrey in his contacts was actually supposed to be in the chat.

IIRC, there’s no actual punishment and those laws were basically designed to give Congress a way to impeach.

I’ll log in and just block /u/spez on all his posts.

Definitely showing her whole anti war schtick was always bullshit. JD Vance was the only one pushing back in that thread, and not for the right reasons.

That’s been how ICE had been doing things for decades. Only they’re now doing it to white people too, and they always take it a bit further during Republican administrations.

Wasn’t he badmouthing Boeing like a week ago because they couldn’t get the new air force one built on time?

They probably think that tracing it will be easier than cash, but obviously there’s a few issues with that:

• we don’t use stablecoins in our day to day lives in western cities with ubiquitous internet and reliable power, it’s probably easier to work it out here first before exporting it to areas that don’t have those things
• a big part of USAID’s raison d’être actually is corruption. It supports opposition news outlets in adversary countries, and projects like free trade/enterprise zones in poorer countries. The actual ‘good’ aid it provides is more of a cover for those projects. If you make all transactions traceable on a blockchain, those countries will know exactly what’s being funded and they’ll have an easy time shutting it down, or have a harder time staying in power if people knew what concessions they’re trading their aid for. I still don’t really know if Trump/Musk just don’t know this and think USAID is doing what it does purely out of altruism, or if they just don’t believe in the concept of soft power.

He does have a weird obsession with Cats and other musicals, so I bet he’s genuine about wanting those shows.

None of those people voted for anyone.
