these people truly believe political gravity no longer exists

Musk and Ramaswamy have already identified $516B dollars in government savings — it includes cutting all of Veteran’s Affairs health care, eliminating the NIH, and ending funding for federal prisons. @morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social

Don't need to worry about the Veteran vote if you can eliminate elections altogether!

whimsicalsquirrel.bsky.social•88 days ago

I mean. TBD.

charlesgallup.bsky.social•88 days ago

But don't worry guys, we'll all get a 'tax cut' that makes up for these losses. More money in our pockets!

You might have enough for your Costco membership

chrishockman.bsky.social•87 days ago

I mean I'll be getting a massive tax cut - since if you're making $0 you're not paying taxes.

Well I’m glad that I just signed a four year contract for a Pell grant, and that the veteran I was closest to just died I guess.

annieruby.bsky.social•88 days ago

I mean it hasn't for awhile, but they're really testing how far that can stretch

tigerinspace.bsky.social•88 days ago

Not to be petty, but I'm thinking of all the "Veterans for Trump" signs I'd seen around my area during the election. Hope they see this! 🙃

chrishockman.bsky.social•87 days ago

Guess I've got to get my resume ready.

chrishockman.bsky.social•87 days ago

Does it? Look at everything Trump did and he STILL won.

dennycarter.bsky.social•87 days ago

All I know is that if Democrats created a fake government agency that immediately recommended the end of healthcare benefits from military veterans, my TV would be filled with ads calling Democrats troop haters or whatever.

There's political opportunity here.

lilbird9702.bsky.social•87 days ago

They could do that, but Biden and Pelosi will just repeat how America needs a strong Republican Party instead.

beantown123.bsky.social•87 days ago

However you think Pelosi and Biden do their job,they are way more on your side than the GOP. The GOP tried to reinstall itself after losing an election. They should be outlawed. Do not think for 1 minute that both parties are trying to fuck you. It is not the case, only 1 party is..........the GOP

Remember death panels?

billbuchman.bsky.social•87 days ago

I agree there's political opportunity in protecting key federal programs, and also agree with Max Frost that this is largely attention seeking for show and intended to troll. Sometimes it's ok to not take the bait.

dennycarter.bsky.social•87 days ago

it's definitely trolling but people truly believe DOGE will have unchecked control over the federal government come january 20. that's ... incorrect.

chrishockman.bsky.social•87 days ago

And the Democrats wont use it because they're incompetent.

lablawz.bsky.social•87 days ago

Political opportunities require someone seize the bull by the horns. I fear the opposition party has no spine

zjsimmons.bsky.social•87 days ago

Yeah having the world's richest man as head cheerleader for this shit seems like a pretty compelling argument for eating the rich

mrshankly.bsky.social•87 days ago

Pretty bold move to recommend gutting healthcare benefits in light of recent events

michaelsalfino.bsky.social•88 days ago

Denny it was a landslide the public has spoken!

dennycarter.bsky.social•88 days ago

1 percent landslide, hate to see it

michaelsalfino.bsky.social•88 days ago

There has never been a POTUS with less than 50% of the vote who had more of a mandate. Be fair.

jonesy2x4.bsky.social•88 days ago

cutting veteran funding used to be a political death sentence

thx4sharingjerk.bsky.social•88 days ago

The only way they’re right is if there are no more elections
