HARF: What do you say to people who work for the VA who can't man the suicide hotline now bc they've been fired?
JOHNSON: Look, in Elon's defense, there's no playbook for what he's doing. So as he acknowledged, there are gonna be some mishaps & mistakes. But we will do course correction immediately

What, isn't that good enough?
But his bullshittery becomes more normalized with every conversation that fails to question his presence.
C’est la vie!
Evil msn!
So what if you lost limbs, Trump doesn’t want to see that.
It just ruins the photo op of Trump hugging flags
Is he acknowledging that Elon is acting like a senator 🤔
Dialog this Mike Elon, not the boss of them.
You guys lost 63-6 what happened ?
“Yeah we had no playbook, we just went out and winged it, sure we made some mistakes but if you give us a do over it’ll be better… I promise”
It's just ignorance, sociopathy and cruelty.

Okay. So: where is all that saved money going, then?
To pay down the debt?
To fund particular programs?
What, exactly?
Notice they haven’t once declared anything *specific* about the end reason for how these cuts benefit US taxpayers.
Again, my point is:
They have not declared *to the American people* their alleged reasons for these cuts.
Cuts are (usually) made to save $ for some purpose
What purpose?
They need to state their “reasons” on the record.
The money is spent. Maybe even from five or ten years ago. So when you suddenly take millions back, it would go to congress. I’m sure it will never go back to congress.
Point is, they declare things they’ll do, *but give no specific outcome based on the reasons for these cuts*
Yes, it’s all kayfabe; but: #Media should constantly demand: what’s the “official reason” for all this?
"It's ok if people die as long as it's not me!"
Musk wouldn't know this (nor would he care):
❗ >125,000 veterans have died by suicide since 2001
❗about 6,000 veterans take their own lives each year
The things you learn when Republicans are in power.
Efficiency is about finding ways to deliver the same services with less resources. NOT cutting resources.
