President Trump has a photo of his mugshot hanging outside the Oval. Love it!
Cyn ~
I think I heard Gutfeld say, there should be a postage stamp made with the photo.
Isn’t that the same photo he had on his Never Surrender t-shirt? It was taken when he surrendered himself to law enforcement in Georgia.
@doh
……and then he surrendered himself to The White House.
Yep! and he just gave up… well, except for that saving taxpayers billions of dollars per day stuff and more than 75 executive orders, memos and proclamations…. so far.
I guess he hung that mug shot photo for inspiration.
That mug shot was just another great photo op.
Trump used it to his advantage.
Trump is the Roadrunner, Democrats are the Coyote…
Every scheme they hatch just blows up in their face.
I simply can’t understand why democrats are against the magnifying glass being applied to government spending. What have they got to worry about?
I also can’t understand why democrats are opposed to deporting illegal drug dealers gang members and violent criminals. What is their motive?
Maybe Congressman Mark DeSaulnier can explain this at his next Town Hall meeting…. and why he supports standing in the way?
Trump fired at least 17 inspectors general. Now there’s no one left to ferret out fraud, abuse and any inside criminal activity by his appointed agency heads or their subordinates.
“…to ferret out fraud, abuse and any inside criminal activity…”;
.
Isn’t that what fired inspectors general,
were supposed to be doing?
.
Why would President Trump keep people, not living up to their job description?
Because they were living up to their job description. Unfortunately that did not cover excusing Eric Adam’s, or Elon’s litigation and that is a problem for the current regime.
Elon Musk is the United States largest defense contractor. Democrats big mad he bought twitter and decided to use lawfare against him for allowing the first amendment on his platform that the previously administration dictated on and controlled. Bill Clinton fired all IGs when he took office. You talk in circles
The 17 IGs obviously were not doing their job ferreting out fraud if this much fraud and waste has happened under their watch. Based on results they deserved to be fired.
Judging by what DOGE has already found it’s apparent that Trump was right (again) …. the IG’s were not doing their jobs in the first place!
What exactly has been found?
A list that does not provide proof is not proof.
Why do you implicitly believe them? Has Trunp or Elon ever been this upfront with their spending? Any aspect of it would be great. I’d be happy to know the accounting of where they spend government money, they refuse.
Musk’s and his DODGE whizkids have no idea of what they were doing: on Thursday, they fired more than 300 workers at the National Nuclear Security Administration, apparently not aware that they were the people who oversee the nation’s nuclear weapons. Today, Peter Alexander and Alexandra Marquez of NBC News reported that officials are now trying to rehire them but can’t figure out how to reach them because the workers lost access to their work email when they were fired.
They have found spending, not fraud. All narratives to the contrary, such as the money spent on condoms in Gaza, are outright lies.
It’s called the Department of Government Efficiency or DOGE for short. Sounds like YOU have no idea what you’re talking about. Why do democrats like yourself have a problem with the government being efficient? It’s a losing position given there are more people who realize now the government just wastes our money. But what about the kickbacks? Stay tuned thats this weeks reveal. 50 million for condoms to Gaza Mozambique, but you already know that don’t you. To think we should send 50 million to gaza for condoms while California just went upside down spending 10 million on illegals medical?
Its WAR
Efficiency? Check out THe State of New Mexico v. Elon Musk.
How can it be efficient if nobody is in charge? I get it. Nobody wants to be held accountable when what they are doing is revealed.
It’s hard to take anything you say seriously when you believe everything that comes out of Trump’s mouth. The “$50 million in condoms for Gaza” has been debunked for weeks. Maybe instead of looking at all news through your biased lens, do some fact checking before repeating lies from this complete embarrassment of an administration. We are all Americans, democrats and republicans and everyone in between. We all want the country and government to run more efficiently. Let’s get focused and stop trying to start a war. And we can start by sharing accurate, fact based information.
MDUSD Teacher,
.
If the NNSA can only contact their former employees through agency email, which employees no longer have access to, then the problems with these government departments, bureaus, and agencies are much worse than we’ve been led to believe. Either this agency has no personal contact information for their employees and former employees or the media is lying about this agency not having any personal contact information for their employees and former employees.
Teacher, to say they have not found fraud is an outright lie.
The Observer,
.
President Trump didn’t fire all Inspectors General, just 17 of 72 selected Inspectors General. Just because someone was in the position of an Inspector General doesn’t mean they were doing their job that was satisfactory to the president. Don’t you remember when President Obama also fired some Inspectors General, or when some Inspectors General were stonewalled and/or threatened by his some in his administration, or when an Inspector General was actively covering up wrongdoing?
No inspectors general left?
“There are now more than 70 statutory inspectors general appointed either by the president or by agency heads”.
“The law also designates that a “first assistant” would automatically replace an inspector general in the event of a vacancy”

I expect some of them are just arguing because this is being done under Republican leadership, that is all, dimwit politics. Some are no doubt arguing because the unions are telling them to. I also expect a small percentage will have their laundering schemes uncovered, like crazie maxine, for one.
In your world there’s not a single member of the GOP running a laundering scheme?
Who ever said the GOP wasn’t involved in stealing from Americans? Nobody, that’s who. It’s called the people against the deep state. Why are you arguing for the deep state?
In the last 12 years you haven’t said one negative word about the MAGA part of the GOP.
You look away from that corruption but quick to type about Dem corruption
This is war. You called us bitter clingers of bibles and guns for not voting for a kenyan communist. You called us racist Nazis for noticing how corrupt the government was. You wanted us to starve and be locked in camps because we wouldn’t play COVID HOAX with you and take an experimental vaccine.
It’s war you started, now we are taking over and/or destroying all your institutional assets.

ITS WAR.
Now that you’re losing you think I’m gonna let up? Not a chance. We will break this thing into a million different pieces before we back off an inch. Get used to it.

This is a starting place to learn the names of the programs in order to facilitate your search.
As to why that must include giving our personal information to any 3rd party, I’d love to know.
My favorite aspect of course, we do not have a fraction of the same information on the President or his advisor. What do they have to worry about? Especially when the bulk of their income is paid by US taxpayers in the form salaries, subsidies, and tax breaks.
As for the deportations, not every single individual being deported is an illegal drug dealer gang member and violent criminal. You can’t even say a majority of them are. If they are so bad, no Democrat would stand in the way of precise action. These sweeping actions cost much more then the money.
It is disingenuous and dishonest to pretend these action are efficient or in the name of efficiency.
Of course they are efficient. The very fact that they are happening is enough to dissuade future illegals from coming. And DOGE is setting the example for what needs to happen at every level of government – we need transparency and accountability – especially in California.
Elon Musk and Donald Trump have the highest security clearance in the United States. But you already know that. Why you try and mislead people is crazy. Democrats are actually filing court papers to stand in the way of accountability. You have nothing but lies and as you well know, nobody cares what you have to say
Did these “families” enter the country illegally?
No response?
No surprise.
They are deporting criminals. They are deporting people who never paid into this system who suck benefits off of taxpayers. I would argue that “hard working families that our country relies on” shouldn’t be draining 10 billion dollars off us. If you guys are such hard working, why does the state have to pay for your existence? Why does the state have to pay for your food? You come here and can’t even afford food and need daddy newsom to give you my tax dollars so you can have a roof. Meanwhile waving mexicos flag begging to not get sent home. Sending all your earnings to mexico while stealing benefits from taxpayers is criminal. It’s called embezzlement, that’s a crime. Using stolen SSN and EIN numbers is a crime. Shouldn’t be a problem to head back home, you’ve taken enough from us gringos.
What you are seeing — about them waving their flag — is the “reconquest”. Guess they all forgot about Spain and Italy.
Some of their money grabbing tactics could also fall under mail and wire fraud. European countries give nothing for free and no one is having a fit about it. Other countries don’t give into the demands of illegal immigrants, yet, the US is seeing as evil for wanting to do the same.
The last time the Democrats got this riled up about a Republican President blocking their source of cheap labor they started a civil war. And just look at how that worked out for them.
Good. California taxpayers are on the hook for 10 BILLION dollars to support these “hard workers”. If they really were hard workers they wouldn’t need support from me to eat and have a roof. They can’t support themselves, they can’t take care of their offspring so maybe they should go home and figure it out. Not my problem
It’s closer to $31 Billion in California alone.
I see some people are dissatisfied with my comment.
I will provide documentation to support my claim.
Here ya go:

Our roads are crumbling, our people are on the streets. We’re not your golden goose. I couldn’t care any less about any of it. You don’t get to take advantage of Americans anymore. Cry more
Again, you seem anti criminal and yet..
You don’t like Americans being taken advantage of but the King of Grifting is who you support. $60 Bibles, meme coins, etc. that’s taking advantage and making him rich and not helping you
The word of God ain’t cheap and the crypto boys are having a great time with meme coins. Trump ain’t made a dime off that. Talk about something you know about. Quit trying to spread lies that don’t even make sense to anyone who knows anything about the world. There are bibles that cost thousands of dollars.
@concord Resident – as long as it isn’t your tax dollars, why do you care?
Don’t bother answering, everyone understands that your TDS has overwhelmed you.
Really?
Someone forced people to buy those things just like I had no choice when the government forced me to provide my tax dollars to support foreign trespassers?
Concord Resident,
.
Nobody is being forced to purchase any products sold by President Trump’s businesses, his customers are doing so by their own choice and free-will. Do you really believe citizens purchasing products from a private business is the same as illegal aliens using and receiving federal, state, and/or local government services and subsidies?
They are doing something that the democrats don’t have the integrity or courage do: Enforce the law.
p.s. There’s ways for immigrants to become legal legitimate US citizens.
The Dems tried to enforce the law on other issues and you cried “weaponization of the DOJ”
Yes there are ways for immigrants to become citizens, marry Trump. They can have a baby here but your party doesn’t like that either.
Haha! My dogs have more ability to think and reason logically than some people who post here!
p.s. what’s my party?
Concord Resident,
.
Why’re you encouraging President Trump to violate the law by engaging in bigamy? If President Trump were to marry several illegal aliens, as you’ve suggested, that act alone wouldn’t then make those illegal aliens, citizens of the United States. If illegal alien females were to give birth while in the United States, that also wouldn’t make them citizens of the United States. Illegal aliens have no right to legalization or citizenship, despite your desire and wishes to the contrary. Your ideas of what it takes for an illegal alien to become a United States citizen is incorrect and overly simplistic.
Well, I guess what it boils down to is that there are some here in the US that still believe in following laws.
“Trump officials fired nuclear staff not realizing they oversee the country’s weapons stockpile.”
It appears Trump is serious about turning Gaza into a casino resort. Given his history of casino management I wonder who he expects to back him.
Still a billion times better that Joe Biden(and the disastrous Kamala!).
Remember the loonie toon who Biden hired to manage nuclear waste?
LoL!
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/nonbinary-biden-official-sam-brinton-accused-grand-larceny-separate-theft-charges
Sam brinton was a drag queen put in charge of nuclear waste. Sam was arrested for stealing luggage at airports. I couldn’t care any less about your opinions about government employees. MAGA will determine who’s running what now
I just read an article about the fired nuclear staff. I know CNN and others are just saying ‘staff’ but when you read Newsweek, Reuters and other more center, unbiased news organization, you get a better look at the truth. Most of the ‘fired staff’ was rescinded and it turns out only ~350 were terminated, primaly administrative and clerical staff that their managmeent could not justify. Hmm … that puts a different light on the topic. I doubt you will understand, as the TDS has full control of you, but to others of us willing to actually read a reliable legitmate new source, we can see what it really means.
California has so many failed projects, you have to wonder if there was ever any real intention of completing them.
Cash flow continues regardless of failure.
Budget, what budget?
Failure is temporary but taxpayer money goes on forever.
This may be changing shortly.
And it all boils to down to one thing: Liberal Democrat government.
It’s nice to get what you voted for. Love watching the old guard be destroyed. We won a long time ago. Democrats will never hold power again.
Here’s the water cooler question: is there a line that Trump and his team can cross where any of you on team MAGA speaks out?
What would you think he is doing that we would speak out about?
But to entertain you, yes there is. If he fails to deport a good solid amount of illegals and implement strong safeguards around employment, lending, welfare and medical I won’t be happy. If he doesn’t root out all the corruption around our tax dollars I won’t be happy. If he’s unable to abolish the IRS and nationalize the FED, I won’t be happy. I voted to gut this government. I voted to liberate Americans from the deep state who stole and squandered our wealth. I voted for democracy not an unelected bureaucracy. I want the lawless, treasonous, criminals who sucked the wealth out of this nation for decades to go to prison. And I want my money back. Anything short of that and I’ll definitely have complaints.
you stayed silent for 4 years while Obama ordered an old man to make an a$$ out of himself while destroying America,now youre whining?who should realy be president..tell us oh constant complainer.
Trump is doing the job he was hired to do. That’s all.
If he crosses the Biden white lines found in the West Wing.
So why are you here ? Start your own discussion board if you don’t like how the vast majority feels and what they post here.

https://www.avma.org/news/mexico-screwworm-case-triggers-us-emergency-response
Get ready America. Screwworms are coming your way.
Let me explain –
Screwworms, to the uninformed, are flies that burrow into animal flesh via wound or orifice (that means your eyes, or a tiny bug bite) and lay eggs, which then… **eat you alive** (myiasis). You can die within 6-8 days from an infection, and it has *major* consequences on livestock industries.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has worked *collaboratively* with US states and central and south american countries (meaning, **funding them**) to eradicate screwworms using sterile male flies to create a “barrier”. This has been an ongoing project since the 50s. The fly was pushed as far south as Panama.
However, Trump has been making all these decisions about “funding other countries” like it doesn’t impact the USA. What if he cuts these programs? Screwworms have already been detected since 2023 in Costa Rica.
#And guess what, it was detected in Mexico as of November 2024.
For example, the recent South Africa cut – What about how that funding helped study and control HIV, Malaria, Yellow Fever, Dengue, West Nile Virus? What about using other preventive vaccines, like polio, to reduce its spread?
#The US is not a closed system. What happens in other parts of the world **will** affect it.
Screw worms are a common parasite. They are killed with Ivermectin.
The hysteria about bird flu, screw worms, etc are scare tactics used to justify food shortages and livestock slaughters. Stop.
Hmm, ? ? ? ?

Wow you spent all that time to tell us you have TDS which arguably is a much more deadly disease then your hypothetical screwworms. We don’t run on hypothetical nonsense.
Ken,

If screwworms were pushed as far south as Panama, but were found in Costa Rica in 2023 and Mexico in 2024, wouldn’t President Biden be to blame, and not President Trump?

Another change I would like to see is having English be the official language. No more excuses about why people can’t learn English. No more “Press 1 for Spanish and 2 for English”. It is time to have people adapt to living here, it should not be them dictating how we are supposed to live. Take a look at how our area has changed, but not for the better.
I agree.
Nobody should be allowed to immigrate to the USA unless they already speak English & plan to assimilate and become a citizen.

Though good to know the most prominent language of the country, English is a bit of a clunky mongrel language. There are lots of words that don’t spell very well coming from old English so not surprised that people make spelling errors or you tell your hands to type something and it acts like it’s got it’s own AI mind and types something different.:D
.
Back in the days when I changed high schools the most popular second language was German because it was easy for English speakers to learn. Spanish was next because in a farming area there were always friends who were from Mexico. But I wound up in French class because the other two were filled up. Problem with learning that language was the teachers were into the culture and looking forward to spending summer vacation yearly in France. They couldn’t teach a language worth a damn.
.
Well, I did wind up in France for awhile in the 1970s but often when I tried to speak French to the locals they would just say “just speak English, we get a lot of English tourists here.” 😉
Captain Bebops,
.
That’s true about German being easier to learn, as English is a Germanic language.
Since its inception into the union, California has been a bilingual state. The state Constitution and other government documents were written in both Spanish and English.
Back in 1848 the Spanish speakers still had an excuse… not anymore.
Speak English.
Yeah, that will happen where there will be no more Spanish in the state or country.
Good luck with that one…
MDUSD Teacher,
.
For about 30 years, then the Spanish was eliminated.
Yea, it sure appears there is no more Spanish being utilized in the state, and services are only provided in English…. Oh wait…
Right because it’s too much to expect people who pretend to want to be Americans to learn our language or culture. That’s because the want to take California and make it mexico. Some truly believe California was stolen from mexico and they are engaged in a war to take it back. That what La Raza is. Literally means “The Race”. I blame MDUSD teachers for teaching woke history and encouraging poor assimilation by supporting clubs within the schools with names such as Latinos Unidos. What day you teach? Do you think it’s appropriate for Latricia unidos and la raza to have “clubs” promoting racism in schools?
I teach state standards as required by law. The teaching “woke history” is a trigger word that many people use to disparage educators.
Latricia Unidos? Hmmm, I do not even know what that is… Students run student clubs and have staff serve as a meeting space
“…staff serve as a meeting space.”
Are you saying that minor-age Students use facilities during non teaching time, with no more than perhaps a janitor on hand, somewhere down the hall, to lock/unlock doors? And that they DO NOT have a District Counselor, a School Official, a Teacher Advisor…etc etc in the meeting instructing, advising, clarifying issues — at all times?
Or worse yet (in my opinion) are you saying these students get to use part of their “instructional” time during the day to hold their Racially Partisan meetings, in lieu of, perhaps, an American Civics Class?
If I’m wrong on all points…. PLEASE clarify.
Latinos Unidos
Latinos Unidos is a club that celebrates Latino culture and community involvement. The club is found at many schools and universities, including high schools, colleges, and universities.
But you already know that
La Raza” is a Spanish phrase that translates to “the people” or “the race”. It has been used to describe people of Latin American descent in Mexico and the United States. The term has complicated roots and has been used in both positive and controversial ways
La Raza clubs are student organizations that promote Latino culture and community service. They are found at various schools and colleges, including Jesuit High School, San Joaquin Delta College, and San Francisco State University.
Purpose
Examples
Term “La Raza”
The term “La Raza” comes from Latin American literature and translates to “the people” or “the Hispanic people of the New World”.
But you already know this
Now imagine for a second, a club called “The Race” consisting of white kids. With or without shaved heads. A group of blue eyed kids meeting on campus every week to discuss advancement of their race of people and promoting their culture.
Please let me know if you also support this.
You know exactly what woke history is
Your comparison overlooks key historical and structural differences between groups formed around racial identity. Organizations like Black student unions or Latino groups have allies as members and exist in response to centuries of systemic oppression and exclusion ]where communities can discuss their shared experiences and advocate for equity.
Historically, white identity-based groups in the U.S. have often been tied to exclusionary or supremacist ideologies, whereas organizations formed by people of color are typically about empowerment, representation, and community support. A group of blue-eyed kids meeting to “advance their race” would carry a very different historical and social weight than a group of marginalized students working to uplift themselves in a society that has historically denied them equal opportunities.
If the goal is genuine cultural appreciation and education, then spaces that celebrate heritage and foster cross-cultural understanding can be positive for everyone. However, framing this discussion as a false equivalency ignores the real power imbalances and historical contexts at play.
As for “woke history,” if that means acknowledging the complexities of history—including discrimination, systemic inequalities, and the resilience of marginalized communities—then that’s simply accurate history, not an agenda.
@MDUSD Teacher – that’s a great attempt to explain away your racist attitudes and behavior.
Now mexicans are oppressed and marginalized per the MDUSD.
You would not be in favor of blue eyed white kids having a club to meet about advancing their race and celebrating their culture. That by definition makes you a racist. Your attempt of argument is that because some people believe systemic inequality was perpetrated by some other people in the past, it now would be appropriate for white kids to not discuss advancing their lives or celebrating their culture. You believe their culture is oppressive therefore white kids grouping up is a threat.
.
You are a complete racist. Your entire premise is based on flawed assumptions and manipulative grifters. You teach children your racist indoctrination. Better figure it out.
MDUSD Teacher,

The Spanish version was removed from the California State Constitution about 30 years after it was initially written in English and Spanish.
So Teacher
I am sorry that you are very misinformed. California was bilingual in 1849, at the inception; however, in1872 and all the way till 1967, English was the only language classes were taught in by law. In 1986, Prop 63 was passed making English the official language of California. In 1998 we ended bilingual programs and unfortunately in 2016 we passed prop 58 which allowed us to reestablish the bilingual education programs.
So you are greatly misinformed … hope you dont teach history! And if you do, it helps to explain why California is currently ranked in the bottom half of the education spectrum in the United States cause you only teach the “California Standards”.
Throughout the nations, local schools, which were community schools, were often taught in German, Italian, or whatever language was spoken in the neighborhood. So there is that.
As for California’s ranking, the reasons are multifaceted.
Funding Inequities, high cost of living and teacher shortages, diverse student population, and English Learners – Newcomers must take state English tests. Shall I continue? Or do you want to drop a slight, hoping that is enough. Because we can have a conversation about it,
“Newcomers” shouldn’t be 90% of students. Concord High is 90% immigrants Mt Diablo is roughly the same.
I see you like the MAGA/DOGE approach to data integration into a perspective; you like to make it entirely up to fit your inaccurate point.
No school is 90% newcomers. Concord High student demographics comprise 78% of students who identify as a minority group. There’s nothing about identifying as immigrants, but hey. Keep on keepin’ on…
Do you even hear yourself? 78% minority, leaving a 22% “majority”.
You are backwards and wrong. You better catch on. MAGA ain’t playing your dumb games anymore. What about the 22%? What are they up against in this world of people like you? I would argue systemic as you are part of the system literally pushing racist anti American propaganda on children. I know you’re proud of yourself, but you will see how wrong you actually are.
Just wait until Musk cuts federal funding for schools who push racism. You will sing a different song very soon
A conversation about what?
I showed you the history of the language in California to correct the inaccuracy (fallacy) in your posting. And now you want to defend California’s ranking? Sorry, other states manage to be higher in the ranking with less funding so I do not buy that.
Teacher shortages? Again, others states are pulling it off, why aren’t we? Is it really cost of living or is it the demand we place on our teachers to cater to the lowest common denominator in the classroom as they are not allowed to fail anyone – just by showing up to class some teachers are giving the kid a ‘C’. Teachers are encouraged to allow kids to turn in homework late so that they can pass … or play sports .. Are other states pulling it off because they do not have these demands placed up on them?
Newcomers must take a test in English, well as English is our official language, that seems fair. If I travel to another country I would enroll in a school that spoke English, likely not the local language as I do not speak it.
Sorry, your argument is weak but if you want to discuss, feel free to try.
In the early 1990’s, I was having lunch with a senior financial institution manager. He described a job posting where two final female candidates had equal education, experience, and skill set, so he hired the one with the largest chest.
I had heard of this type of thing, but never directly from a source.
30 years later the Biden Syndicate hijacked the DEI concept and included lifestyle choices.
So two male job candidates with equal education, experience, and skill set. and they hire the one who prefers to be ***** up the ***.
It appears 30 years later we have made zero progress in workplace discrimination.

But of course for those mismanaging California, always out for any chance to get themselves mentioned in a news cycle, they will press on, yet again WASTING precious taxpayer dollars.
But then again, it’s no like their wasting their dollars.
Why is it that whenever there is a Doge story, all I hear are the usual Dem mouthpieces complaining about “Unelected billionaire Elon Musk…..”, and never anything about the billions in wasted taxpayer monies? A veritable rogues gallery of leftys carping about “Big Bolz”, but never a peep about the actual savings to all of us and the criminal spending spree of the deep state.
One would think that the discovery of billions of dollars being burned at the DEI altar would be a good thing to ensure that our money is not just flushed in the future. Instead, the left has nothing to say about the malfeasance but lots to say about the methods used. They would rather smear the messenger than address the problem.
So, who or what are the Dems protecting? If you want to pretend that there’s no problem, then you are probably profiting from it. The left has learned nothing from the last election.
Quickest way to motivate politicians, embarrassment and public ridicule.

Karen Bass claims she was not aware of wind problems prior to the fires.
You know, the wind problems that happen every single year.
She blames the fire chief.
How dare she blame a lesbian, Bass must be a racist.
Now she claims 3-5 years to rebuild.
That’s in order to milk federal funds and force land sales.
Bass and Kamala deserve each other.
And Newsom, he just stands there and smiles.
He won’t be smiling if the IOC pulls the Olympics contract.
Didn’t she tweet about the fire danger BEFORE leaving for Africa?
This was in a post-fire interview.
She’s bonkers.
That same fire has happened in LA several times, during the Santa Anna winds.
They are all incompetent.

On average, the Malibu area has burned due to wildfires and wind, once every three years for the last century. Everyone knew the wind and fires were coming.
Sure they did.
They simply do not care.

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
Nancy Pelosi is an empty suit similar to Biden, being controlled by a puppetmaster. Nancy’s daughter, Christine actually calls the shots in the D. Party. Investigate her. Christine may actually run for Ca governor since the democratic voters in Ca have lost faith in Kamala. When Kamala was 29, she spreaded them for D. Assembly Speaker Willie Brown who was 65, her father’s age. That will forever be in the minds of the Ca voters.
Don’t believe the hype – Musk is not in there cutting costs he’s breaking things so it benefits his companies. This is a man who’s earning $8million a day on federal aid.
Start investigating it yourself, don’t just park it in front of Fox’s propaganda machine.

Siv can only quote lies from DNC propaganda machines.
So you pretend like you know what Elon is doing and you want everyone to reacting to your speculation? Paranoid and delusional.

“he’s breaking things so it benefits his company”

If that’s not just the stupidest, childish explanation of what you think is happening…idk. That statement doesn’t even make any sense.
Next time try to write your post like we’re not drunk teenagers trying to explain politics.
8 million a day on federal aid?? You mean supplying the government with goods and services at a fraction of what NASA did? Get real man
The last thing that Elon needs is more money. He’s already the richest man on the planet and will likely be Earth’s first Trillionaire.
Maybe he needs the cash to pay out child support as he single-handedly repopulates the planet.
Get a job
Siv,
Real question here: Would you be OK with the cuts if someone other than Elon was calling the shots?
If not, then the issue is not Elon but the cuts themselves that you hate. If yes, then who do you propose to make the necessary cuts to our govt’s wasteful spending?
These cuts should be celebrated, not demonized. We are $30 TRILLION in debt and the cost to just service this debt (interest payments only) is greater than our total expensed on defense. Pretty soon there will be no more $ available for whatever program you believe is a priority.
