This is just The Southern Strategy in its final phase: cutting all social programs ostensibly to save money, but in actuality to hurt marginalized people. That these programs save lives is the exact reason why they’re getting cut.
Guess who's going to swoop right in and fill the void that Nazilon and Trump have created worldwide? China. Trump has been the biggest gift to them in our nation's history--as he destroys our influence across the globe so they can step in.
Check today's headlines. I couldn't read the article behind a paywall.
And exactly why do I pay taxes if Gates has to step in and do what I was willing to pay for?
Amazing how we want to cut aid to programs that are saving lives, but we want to jack up our military budget, so we can kill more people. Remind me how MAGA is pro life again.
This is Musk’s revenge for the elimination of Apartheid in South Africa. Musk & his family are angry they lost their superiority over blacks in their adopted home of South Africa. It’s about racism.
and why is "killing" in quotation marks? Despite his lies, he knows children are dying and they are dying at his hand. I call that murder.
The courts have demanded reinstatement of the funding, but that hasn't happened. Even if it had, kids are staying dead.
Facts.
That’s this administrations whole thing: they succeed by undoing bad things they’ve done.
“I saved lives!”
“From what sir?”
*runs away*
“FROM WHAT SIR”
The fucking up of things is the point here, it's the administration's mission, and they sent in child soldiers who have no idea why people do any of the things they do.
KUDOS to Bill Gates, a true Role Model for the Wealthy, whereas Musk & so many other Billionaires, i.e., Bezos, Zuckerberg, & those who shower our Right Wing SCOTUS Justices with
very generous gifts to obtain decisions on cases before SCOTUS that benefit them.
I'm 1000% with you. How can Musk appoint anyone to anything? How can repubs congress obliterate & abdicate any sense of power that WE ELECTED THEM TO DO? REPUB CONGRESS should be reprimanded & fired. Joint chiefs, Military & Senate Dem leaders take over- cause this is a hot ass mess we're in rn!
That they could unilaterally do this without consequence is very telling. It will be very disappointing for these guys not to face consequences for these unlawful actions no matter how long it takes. They should pay.
The Schumer effect, this notion of bipartisanship was all well and good in the beforetimes but now it's life or death, literally, a reach across the aisle is just a reacharound now.
Yep! R’s claim to be pro-life but they are the exact opposite. Because of their reckless disregard for life, Republicans are starving children and killing them with preventable diseases by withholding medicines and vaccines. Trump, Rubio and Musk are doing this and every R in congress is complicit!
These fucking cyber criminals must face charges in The Hague for crimes against humanity. And worthless, spineless, feckless Rubio better step up and take charge of the State Department if he is really the Secretary of State.
has anyone ever figured out what musk's official role in the govt is supposed to be? I don't think "unitary executive" should extend to the president's billionaire donors, but I guess that's up to scotus.
Can Dems introduce a bill that permanently removes any President’s ability to hand out pardons? Or at least limit the number of pardons granted per term to a fixed number, like 50?
The DOGE boys, Kristi Noems, Pam Bondis, etc. might start behaving differently if Trump can’t pardon them.
Because everything is done on computers, and DOGE took control of the computers. It is that ridiculous.
They have no authority, only the ability. No one with the authority to stop them seems to be willing or able.
It is probably as simple as the fact that most of the aid recipients aren't white. (and he only tolerates most white people as workers. Tech bros should rule the world.)
As an Afrikaner with their history? Yeah, but that's like, where he grew up. this seems personal. personal enuf to leave detailed instructions for his goons.
I thought he spent most of his childhood in Canada. But yes, the racism was embedded in South Africa.
I guess I don't see it all as deeply personal. He wants money and no regulations so he can personally colonize Mars and he is quite sure he is better than everyone and his minions above the rest.
the illustration is quite poignant/clever as a summary. It cuts through the thin veneer of procedural cost saving to what this really is, a malevolent game to them.
Repub congress will barely speak to the Dems! It seems clearly they are in dereliction of their duties! How can you just decide not to do the job you're paid to do? I pray the world remember what the repubs did in this time & space. They're killing people worldwide.
When a baby starves, Mom is not going to blame Musk. She knows where that stuff came from and where it is not coming from.
We, the US, will pay for this for decades, maybe forever.

We need to get through the " controversial proposal" part of this before we hit the campaign season.

These 2 maniacs need to be stopped. This is desk murder.
Nazi style, hands off mechanized, tidy spreadsheet mass murder.
But, he won't and I wonder why??!!

I've had many supervisors enter situations they had no experience in and fuck everything up more than if they left it alone.
Even the FAA is in shambles. Look at EWR.

Congress did not create a new Department. The did not fund one.
I hate that this is being tolerated let alone enforced.
More will continue to die.
🤢
No, there aren't.
It's *incredible* how loathsome Musk and his army of squeaking ratboys running around the Capitol touching things are.
"Why are we paying to medevac someone in another country when I have to pay $6k for an ambulance ride?"

I hope he's investigated.
The DOGE boys, Kristi Noems, Pam Bondis, etc. might start behaving differently if Trump can’t pardon them.
The fish always rots from the head first.
And he’ll be the first one on Fox lying that he tried to stop it.
Like the others, Rubio sold his soul to Trump and Musk.
Despicable human being.

Seems more personal than "liberal rubbish"

IT IS OUR OUTREACH - not ELON & his DOGE boys! 🖕🏻🤬
