Trump's Second Term

Musk called naming the names illegal. That simply was not true. You were wrong.

People keep saying this, but nobody has shown the entire tweet Musk responded to. It might be true, but without the entire tweet, I can't confirm that. Have you seen the entire original tweet? Or only the screen shot with the truncated tweet?

ACLU (@aclu.org)

Donald Trump is trying to block trillions of dollars in federal funds to Meals on Wheels, Medicaid, and other critical programs that keep us safe and healthy. If allowed to go into effect, this would wreak havoc across the country. Tell Congress: Trump cannot be allowed to defund our...

Let them defund these programs. Things will not improve until the MAGAts lose their assistance and benefits. Then they'll start screaming when they're going hungry and can't pay rent and medical bills. They'll be screaming when they or their parents get tossed out of senior living and nursing homes because Medicaid isn't there anymore to pay the bills. Let them start dying. It won't get better until it gets a lot worse.

If there's one thing Musk is known for, it's an aversion to new technology.

Do you even listen to yourself?

His job and plan is to slash the funding away from the military.

He has already said future wars will be fought with cheap drones and manned aircraft are history along with armoured vehicles.
He wants an entire military made with drones that are controlled by satellite.

Sadly, this doesn't just affect the nazis. There are plenty of people that depend on these programs who didn't vote for the nazi party.

I am again reminded of the tweet "Elon Musk sounds like a genius until he talks about a topic you understand."

Yeah, I thought he was weird, but didn't realize he was an idiot until I heard him say that the theory of "Induced Demand" was nonsense with regards to increasing automobile traffic capacity. "If that was true, you could reduce traffic by reducing the number of roads!"

@realDonald Trump

I will be signing an Executive Order next week ending the ridiculous Biden push for Paper Straws, which don't work. BACK TO PLASTIC!
 
COLLINS: Are you planning to fire the FBI agents involved in the J6 investigations?

TRUMP: No but I'll fire some of them

Even then, he convincingly represents to others that he's really playing five-dimensional chess and that your expertise is so paltry that you can't understand that his ineptitude is really a long-game strategy that's far superior to yours.

That's why I consider his otherwise trivial debacle with Path of Exile 2 to be so demonstrative. He ventured into territory that he simply could not bluff his way around and got his head appropriately handed to him by people with undisputed expertise who could bring receipts. And Musk's behavior to try to squirm free from it is entirely exemplary of a deluded narcissist. It's one thing when barely cognizant tech fans are drooling over SpaceX. At least the non-Musk parts of that are credible. But when high-ranking national leaders are justifying his illegal meddling by saying he's just that smart, that's when it becomes dangerous.

Trump on DOGE obtaining Americans' personal information, including social security numbers and bank numbers: "They get it very easily. We don't have very good security in our country."


REPORTER: "But should DOGE—an unelected private entity—have access to that kind of sensitive data?"
TRUMP: "Well, somebody’s gotta have it. Would you rather it be China? You think China doesn’t already have it? Please. At least DOGE is American. Very strong company. Very good people."

REPORTER: "But isn’t this a massive privacy violation?"
TRUMP: "People love privacy, I love privacy. But, you know, it’s funny—whenever I needed something, they told me I couldn’t have it. Now everybody’s worried about privacy? Where was that when I needed my Twitter back?"

REPORTER: "Are you saying DOGE having this data is a good thing?"
TRUMP: "I’m saying we’ll see what happens. But let’s be honest—most people don’t even know what’s in their bank account. DOGE probably knows better than they do! Maybe it helps. Maybe it doesn’t. But it’s very interesting. People are talking about it."

REPORTER: "So to be clear, you’re fine with DOGE collecting Americans' private financial data?"
TRUMP: "Look, if DOGE didn’t do it, somebody else would. That’s the way it works, folks."

That'll lower the price of . . . absolutely nothing.

He is such an idiot; if he's ever convicted of anything again, part of his sentence should be picking up plastic ◊◊◊◊ on the side of the road or an a beach, preferably one in the middle of nowhere.

Absolute utter ◊◊◊◊◊◊◊ nonsense! "Well, if I didn't shoot JFK, somebody else would have!"
 
"One of the things we're looking at with President Zelensky is having the security of their assets. They have assets underground. Rare earth and other things. But primarily rare earth. Really, we want security, because as you know, Europe is putting up much less money than us."
