Exactly this. Elon grows richer by the minute and sqwauks out another infant. He is like the Welfare King with all his government contracts.

Elon is the ultimate Welfare King. He has become rich from our tax payments.

Who will be left at State to administer these programs? You think some random person is just going to flip on a computer and this all gets done?

Don’t worry, the 19-year old DOGE idiot savant is on it!

Is he the same one who fired all the people safeguarding our nuclear weapons and then couldn't hire them back because they didn't have contact info for them??

If someone wrote a novel with this plot, no one would believe it

Truth.

If you write out a narrative of what Trump has done so far, it sounds totally insane and no one would believe it could happen...

We simply don’t and can’t know. There’s so much slinging of doomerism and triumphalism. It’s too soon to tell.

Go talk to a neighbor. Go to Church and pray. Bake cookies. Cut expenses. Do a puzzle. Read a book.

But I beg of you, limit your internet time. It’s how we all got here.

All of these things have consequences. Life has been hard for all of humanity until the last 100 years and we have chosen to go back in time.

So tell me where you would cut $2 Trillion from? How do you suggest we get to a good budget situation? I don’t think you realize that we can’t continue on this trajectory.

First, I would follow the law.

Thank you.

For example, I don't have a problem with getting rid of the penny. I do however have a major problem with doing so via a toilet seat tweet by the President.

The penny is minted in a small county in Tennessee. They are begging Trump to reconsider because the loss would financially cripple the county. The county voted overwhelmingly for Trump. https://www.newsweek.com/end-pennies-may-cost-jobs-trump-supporting-county-2029309

He's also crazy. For example, no one can speak of his dead dog, who he pretends is alive.

The opposition are working on impeaching him. I guess they have bigger ballz there.

No, you had to use the bureaucratic state to push left-wing ideology on the country in ways that were unquestionably illegal. Remember when you guys got military members fired for not taking the vaccine? (“No one elected Elon!” Interesting, now what about Fauci?)

So I don’t really care that you’re going to have to sell your Arlington home and go back to whatever LCOL town you’re originally from and try to start a new career at age 51. Sorry, not sorry.

You’re pure trash babe. That military comment sounds like you’re a military pop ‘em babies alone spouse suckling at the teat of welfare. Italy my a$$.

PS: I’ve commented here before but I just got another job for 35K more than my six figure salary, love, 30 f-ing 5 K more because I’m done working for ingrates like the American public, you included.

You want to talk about useless entitlement? Military who retire at 45 and get gold plated healthcare and benefits for the rest of their life. Guess what? Elon is coming for you too.

This exactly. And so many of them want to be thanked for their service for just existing. A massive number of armed services jobs involve virtually 0 risk of ever being within 500 miles of a combat zone. But they get a golden early retirement for doing an office job in a uniform.

I find theres an inverse relationship between members of the military (and their spouses.. oh boy their spouses can be over the top) and how dangerous their job was with how much they look for gratitude. It’s usually the paper pushers who are first to tell you they’re a vet. I know one family whose military member, and father of the family, tragically died. The term “in the line of duty” is used… he died of a cardiovascular event in an office building in Arlington. That same family are huge MAGA and hate the federal civil service workforce with a passion.

The uncertainty around tariffs, government contracts, increase in Russian influence, Middle East chaos, and interest rates is certainly having a chilling effect on corporate America that will be felt in ‘25.

The amount of resources going into managing the tariff announcement of the day alone are costing MNCs money and causing a tightening of the belt. You’re already hearing CEO concerns in the first quarter earnings call.

Don't care about them, they wanted to overthrow our system of government.

What's really funny though is that this move will cost us money. A nickel costs 14 cents to produce.

How can they not see that he is a foreign interloper who is a bigger grifter than the orange man?

You’ve heard of “The Emperor’s New Clothes.” People would rather ignore the evidence of their own eyes than admit they’ve been so badly fooled. They’re the emperor, who even after being revealed as being naked, walks proudly down the street.

I'm sorry about whatever made you so gullible to believe these lies, and for whatever happened to you to make you so angry that you want to tear down your own house. Godspeed, and wake up and smell the coffee, although then you'd be WOKE!

Here’s the famous excerpt from the letter a mother wrote to FDR during the sulfanilamide disaster:

"The first time I ever had occasion to call in a doctor for [Joan] and she was given Elixir of Sulfanilamide. All that is left to us is the caring for her little grave. Even the memory of her is mixed with sorrow for we can see her little body tossing to and fro and hear that little voice screaming with pain and it seems as though it would drive me insane. ... It is my plea that you will take steps to prevent such sales of drugs that will take little lives and leave such suffering behind and such a bleak outlook on the future as I have tonight."

Do we really have to repeat this history all over again? Imagine being a parent and giving your small child medicine only to have to listen to them scream in agony for hours while they slowly die because their medicine was contaminated, and there’s nothing you can do about it. People never learn. They want us to return to the year of 1876 level of regs. This is where we are. Scared yet? Then you’re not paying attention.
