If only it was gonna hurt them… stay safe out there.

I like to think he had the video and text queued up from a while back and accidentally hit send at the worst time.

Which companies??

You’re vastly underestimating the damage done in his first term. Everything he did then set the foundation for what he is now.

Social media companies just doing the bidding of their owners.

Elon is just the tip of the spear that is impaling the heart of our country. There are tons of people enabling this too. Start with your representatives. Find out where they stand with DOGE.

Hear that? If you’re gonna go to jail, might as well go big.

I’d hardly call it a conspiracy theory that both the Democrats and Republicans serve the wealthy.

Nope, it’s deadly serious.

COVID, or the response to COVID, broke a lot of people’s brains.

We’re all domestic terrorists, remember?

You’re the first one here and you’re complaining everyone is late.

CBS realized if they gave in, Trump had no plans of stopping attacks whatsoever. So if you’re gonna get attacked anyways, you might as well fight back .

Just making it easier to commit fraud. Normal criminal president stuff.

This is the welfare queen argument applied to all of governance and it was a lie then. None of the fraud is adding up and none of this will absolutely help the poor. It’s all gonna go to making billionaires a slightly higher billionaire.

The idea of what they consider to be wasteful and what I consider to be wasteful are very different things. And I don’t want to feed into that narrative. They weren’t worried about government waste till they wanted to give themselves bigger tax cuts. If they cared about actual waste, they wouldn’t remove people in charge of oversight. NIH research isn’t wasteful, CFPB isn’t wasteful. USAID isn’t wasteful. These things pay huge dividends to society. Removing contracts already lined up for other companies and giving it to yourself is the definition of wasteful. Removing the organizations that were investigating your labor practices is cronyism.

So no I don’t agree. So if you wanna talk about helping the average person, maybe point to some changes that have happened that’ll in some way actually help people and not just make the obscenely wealthly a little richer. But you’re unlikely to find any.

All these fuckers talk about is deficit reduction. We gotta cut social services and stuff people rely on to save money cuz the deficit. But they aren’t trying to save money. They’re trying to give themselves the biggest tax break imaginable and add to the deficit. They just want us to pay for it.

It’s the biggest fucking scam in the world And your representatives are lying to you so they can get rich.

No wonder he’s gonna force the government to buy a bunch of them.

Plenty of moral people work for immoral companies all the time. This isn’t some big gatcha as much as it is a complete dismissal akin to the way a C-Suite exec might completely dismiss your opinion.
