The souls, such as they are, of GOP politicians are for sale to the highest bidder.
To pretend they have any interest in or concern for anyone other than themselves is foolishness.

I happen to believe that Lockheed-Martin's billion-dollar contracts with the Canadian government should be torn up. Signed, you say? Apparently signed agreements don't matter to the US President--so, why should they matter here.
Projection. It's always Projection with these fools. Accuse someone of doing a heinous thing? Yeah. Odds are it is the Rs are the ones who are doing it/have done it in the first place.
Wait till all those forced out apply for Unemployment and stop buying, and kids suspend college, and real estate goes down due to foreclosures, and bankruptcy starts! The ripple effect will crush us all eventually. People think they are in silos! And eggs and gas are still costly!

As Defense is our biggest spend & goes to only a handful of companies, we as a nation should have a stake & board seat in those companies as their success is vital to our national security. Especially as many programs go over budget rewarding execs & shareholders.
Also where are all the giants in air traffic control systems that we have been and are currently using? Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, Leidos and others???? Why are they not speaking out against the slanderous comments that are being hurled at our current ATC system????
🙏 I've been talking about the meticulously-maintained, ever-Hamas-loving profit-laundering orgy known as the decades-long Palestinian Holocaust for many years
that bleeds the US taxpayer year after year while they throw us chum in the news..
It's not over yet but does look like it's changing shape. Gaza -a perfect location for one of Trumps ' freedom cities' (charter cities) now it is mostly demolished ,the Ben Gurion canal gets the go ahead, bypassing Suez Canal bottlenecks & connecting trade routes directly to Saudis Neom.
Grift ++
Not forgetting the Tesla industrial plant in Gaza & that Israel was going to be a world beating silicon valley type hub. Israel has blown that, but Infosys Google Palentir etc are already on site- having helped with the holocaust
these people are so miserably ignorant, immature, brazen, and inhumane, this shit is going to blow up in their faces so hard, and I wouldn't be surprised if, no matter how much money they have, they wind up in prison
I have a similar feeling. They grossly overestimate their own ability & vastly underestimate what a quagmire the middle east is likely to be for them. Israel is now the most hated country in the world, America comes 2nd & Trump has a wafer thin mandate to rule (<1.5%majority)
It's a kickback scam. They are embezzling funds through defense contractors who then donate the money back paid through government contracts for the politicians to spend personally as they see fit. Now, THAT is the epitome of corruption. Bet it's been going on a long time.
Right on the money with this one. I don't normally wish anyone dead, but it's cool if they're an old billionaire who runs the most dishonest news program, right?
Elon Musk himself was rewarded with $15 billion in contracts, then went and bought the election for Trump. The hypocrisy is breathtaking but not surprising.
Can somebody who still has an account on X start a rumour that President Elon secretly wants to prevent schools from teaching about the Glorious Confederacy?/s
It's amazing what simple working class people are willing to go to prison for or even kill or die for when the wealthy white elitists who convince them to do so continue to live in the lap of luxury.
Where did you think the trillion dollars in the defense budget went? It goes to republican defense contractors and businesses, then that money gets kicked back to the congressmen who approve it.
I am not one bit surprised. We have a crooked government and Supreme Court. I don't understand how he did this. The GOP let him. They are all to blame. Lying bastards.
Koch Indurates got a $500 million dollar a year kickback in the Trump tax cuts, They have gotten billions in carveouts.
Back in 2010 they spent $980 million on campaigns and hit projects.
ALEC writes 95% of the republican legislation state and federal.

Senator Thom Tillis, a Republican, representing North Carolina, has given away his power to the Oligarchs and is aiding in the destruction of DEMOCRACY. He MUST BE VOTED OUT in the MIDTERMS.
vote them out and put a cap on outside donations. they are all bowing down because musk and felon have the purse which is way more than they get from their constituents. they are bought and paid for
Any company that receives a government subsidy, including tax breaks, should be prohibited from making any political donations. If they have enough cash flow to make a donation, they don't need a subsidy. Nor should tax dollars be used for political purposes.
This is for charities and churches. I think some do not realize this. If you have a church that advocates any political party or candidate. Turn them in and they lose their tax exempt. https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/charities-churches-and-politics
The fix is already in. All I see being spammed on threads and reddit is “how can you be mad at the guy saving money and not the people spending it” because they want to imply it’s all the “wrong” people taking money and Elon is saving us despite the total illegality of it all
I used to work for General Dynamics Land Systems and there's also a PAC funded by them. They love Republicans because R loves war, which means contracts &work. With all sincerity fuck the defense industry. It's rampant with radicals for Trump and work closely with soldiers who also are problematic.
I have noticed that Musk et. al. stayed away from talking about the massive military contracts that should have been terminated years ago. The military industrial complex is one of the reasons why our defense budget is several times larger than our nearest ally. Time to fix that…
Well since it’s pretty obvious the current admin is doing everything they can to usher in WWIII seems to me they’re intentionally not “auditing” that department.
One of the biggest scams are the tax breaks for the wealthy who give a small portion back for political donations, and then get to write off the donation. Free money!
How much has the USGovernment paid Elon for TSLA advancement and SpaceX, Starlink, and been repaid with X propaganda and all the current horseshit? I think having the actual numbers on his Govt grants would be beneficial…
I must’ve missed something, because POLITICO seems to be bought out by the Trump administration. Defense contractors donating to Republicans is old news.
It used to be honest and centrist, but since the buyout by Axel Springer (German media billionaire) in 2021, their headlines and articles have been white washing Trump and GOP news. He forces journalists to sign a pledge to follow his views. Does that sound like a free press? Nope.
Calling Musk is 10 pounds of shit in a five pound bag is as safe of a default position as it with Trump. Elmo has reached astonishing levels in untruths. He's completely bonkers.
You’d have to have shit for brains to not see the difference. One is a defense contractor, the other is a news organization getting paid to spew propaganda.
meh. If Dems said they're considering buying missiles from Lockheed... Lockheed would give money to Dems. this isn't a party thing, or a political ideology thing... it's just business. Of course- Eisenhower was right. We are a military industrial complex
Don’t forget about the current governor of Arkansas went to Europe on taxpayer dollars for a vacation, and to try to sell them contracts with Lockheed.
Nothing happened because of the MAGA in government.
Boycott all the tech companies who are now in Trump's pocket: Meta, Amazon, Washington Post, Google, Tesla, X, and Tik Tok. And boycott Paramount for not having the balls to stand up for 60 Minutes in Trump's legal efforts to intimidate the media.
IMO the ☝🏾 thing needs to be done, IF/WHEN SANITY returns(qualified DEMS seated in House, Senate, WH). Impeach many on the SC! Next seat common sense judges! After that dismantle corporations are people too! Finally end any acceptance of gifts,monies, gratuities, end lobbying in Congress! Just a 💭
No, I won’t shut up about Politico selling themselves to the government. They are part of the so-called “Fourth Estate”. Both Lockheed Martin AND Politico are horribly bad. We need the fourth estate to be actual journalists and not in bed with the fascists.
The problem is that there are no effective limits.
The entire campaign funding apparatus provides far too much opportunity for abuse by the wealthy. Needs to be scrapped and replaced with a system that strictly limits how much an individual can give - whether in a group or not.
Republican Party is responsible for trump & his cabinet. They’re in charge seem all democrats fired in every government office. So republicans now following Nazi musk and an insane trump destroying democracy for authoritarianism.
The defense department gets most of the tax dollars, and constantly, our data security is breached. These billionaires create fake businesses that would be considered defense and get billions of subsidized dollars. Yet, we do not have even universal healthcare.
Lockheed Martin got millions of dollars to clean up OAK RIDGE, TN from DOE... that clean up operation hired hundred of people in East TN... As a result OAK RIDGE NATIONAL LABS was created that is researching Green Energy. TN is a RED STATE
I hate to mention it but every aerospace company contributes money to the candidates whom they believe are most likely to be elected at the state level and at the federal level. I imagine even Musk shelled out millions to candidates on both sides of the isle to buy favor.
It’s not particularly surprising… but I wonder what Lockheed Martin think about their competitor Musk now having free rein to look over their sensitive gov contract info… you get what you pay for!
This post contains misinformation. In 2024, six of Lockheed Martin’s top 10 contributions were made to democrat candidates and committees. Contributions to Harris were $595K versus $266 for Trump.
As far as I know all the big DoD contractors do this. When I worked at one, I remember a mandatory meeting where they gave us all the benefits of donating to republicans
I'm going to give it another week before the military steps in. I believe the plan was to have Donald win, make him look like an even bigger ass so he gets ousted. Move Vance up and then Move Musk up to VP. I am sure Musk will find a way to get rid of Vance.
Do we fault the small business owners paying the street thugs for “protection”? No! We blame the thugs! This is the fault Donald Trump’s Republican Party!
Hmmm, wonder why Musk can find all sorts of waste in the budgets of relatively small agencies like USAID, yet can't find a dollar of waste in defense contractor spending, when that is 150 times the size of USAID? DOGE is such a fraud.
Never mind the fact that just because Elon Musk says that it’s waste doesn’t mean that it’s actually wasteful. It’s like everyone is just taking this motherfucker at his word because he posted it on his social media platform and has a shit load of money…
…I don’t know why the fuck everyone thinks that because someone has a shit load of money that they are just the most honest, upright character that knows how to get things done, rather than just being an exploitative, greedy piece of shit, screwing everyone else over
I’ve been in the army and seen this. I’ve been in units where we had over a dozen different kinds of batteries for different things. Each one is a separate small production run
He’s not going to “find” any fraud in anything that benefits him, Felon 47, Republicans, red states, etc. Narrative will only tilt towards all the groups MAGA hates. Fact.
We can't be so absolute. They will find at least a shard of fraud or overpayment, RWM will make it the only thing they shrill about for a day, and their mission is accomplished.
Here is how I think this goes. Economy turns down, Trump unpopular, Dems retake House in 2026, find all sorts of evidence of Musk crimes with DOGE, he gets Trump pardon for fed crimes, several blue state AGs file charges on Musk, he flees the country and trolls from where ever he finds to hide out.
Until then I think we can we protest, stop nonessential spending, boycott Trump supporting companies, try to slow down the economy so he lose popularity as soon as possible.
Agreed. I read your earlier post and I believe people are getting angrier by the day…so his popularity will plummet and we may have a chance to retake the House in 2026. Until then, I plan to take steps to resist at every turn.
The American people should demand that the current authoritarian regime resign and be removed immediately! Trump should no longer be able to pardon anyone and the Supreme Court should revoke his immunity from being held accountable for crimes immediately! The American people need to demand justice.
Then musk should be deported to El Salvador to serve out his life sentence. Musk citizenship should be revoked and he should be banned from every country that is an ally of the United States of America.
I hope you’re wrong about him fleeing…he should be imprisoned for treason. All of his money should be distributed to the citizens of the USA. Musk should also have to pay for his crimes of invasion of Americans citizens personal information through the treasury.
If this truly happens hopefully the next president will continue this good work but attack the republicans free spending. We need to control our spending and finally pass an audit. The interest we pay out is getting out of hand.
On both sides of the Atlantic big money political donations are subverting democracy. They must be treated as serious criminal offences, as the corrupt procurement of political influence.
How biased do you have to be to not recognize one is in the business of national defense and keeping you safe and the other just charged $75k for an annual subscription…take that in for a sec. That’s a lot of Netflix subs. And what they did with it was take the $ and then promote the gov.
Couldn’t agree more but look at this just as an example 👇🏼

81% of Republicans approve of Musk/Trumps actions.
If you want to see how Trump/Musk were able to take over and are increasing their popularity: just watch Fox News. Re: Musk’s takeover:
Musk is ridding the government of inefficiency. The young engineers are heroic.

Donations went to both sides, but more to the republican side. Also, no corporate donations were made as it's illegal. It came via an employer PAC.
