Thanks Ali for putting a laser on the risks of DOGE's access to govm't databases with troves of personal and corporate data. It doesn't take a lot of imagination to think of things that can be done with this data, especially if it is used collectively - both for the good and for nefarious purposes.

What Musk must have had to pay them to get them to risk spending the majority of their adult life in prison. If Dems are smart they'll prosecute for state charges so tRump can't negate. That should cause others to REALLY think hard when asked to participate in illegal endeavors

Don’t forget to thank Trump too. It’s with his blessing so we need to equate the two, or he gets a pass by some!

Musk is devising a “Digital Dictatorship” (per Harari) Digital Dictatorships require a “Human Figurehead” like Trump. Once the Digital Dictatorship is established it will control the Figurehead too.

ecodesign1.bsky.social•11 days ago

With the Digital Dictatorship in Musk’s control, he can then set up a Family Dynasty placing any of his 12+ children in the place of the Human Figurehead….The youngest of which was displayed on Musk’s shoulders at Trump’s Presidential Desk today.

Worse than that, when the truth about that snot-nosed extreme racist was discovered, Musk called for the journalist to be fired! And creepy Vance chimed in that "journalists shouldn't be rewarded for ruining people's lives." Shameless, demented, fascist remarks.

Right now you might as well be Fox-left. Using phrases that will outrage people, but not providing the depth and perspective to explain the story. There was a time one might expect better of MSNBC. Is that time gone?

JD Vance loves that racist Musk incel. Every Sunday show will have on the known racist Vance, where they'll offer to shine his shoes. https://bsky.app/profile/thetnholler.bsky.social/post/3lhoasolbqs2q

guwonder.bsky.social•14 days ago

Vance is willing to let his own children pay the price for “normalize Indian hate”. Vance sounds more and more like those slave-holding plantation owners who raped their slaves and let their own children get whipped to death.

Vance’s religion is the Cult of Trump, and Trump is his Lord.

It is a vile nasty racist Nazi Regime (Trump's regime). I visited someone last summer who had on NBC's coverage of Trump's Nazi hatefest RNC convention. Savannah Guthrie was so happy for the Trump Nazis. Trump is in the White House because of garbage media and social media in the US.

mjk4mj.bsky.social•15 days ago

CNBC loved to give the vile racist traitor, Musk, free airtime (also his vile Nazi CEO). How many other vile Nazi Linda Yaccarino's are at NBC (NBC gave the racist nitwit, Megyn Kelly, $60 million and made a racist, Trump, a star with "The Apprentice").

That guy also said “normalize Indian hate”. Then when Musk puts up a Twitter poll to hire back the racist schmuck, Vance voices in and says rehire the guy. Note: Vance’s wife and biological kids have Indian origins.

Another dishonorable regime guy. He won’t even stand up for his wife and children.

4-5 years ago in DoD, our personal data (PII) was hacked. The OPM was hacked. The OPM either as mea culpa or by regulation gave every employee affected 3 years of free credit monitoring. THAT is how serious this is. Yet from this A-h*le Vought, he is unlikely to lift a finger to be held accountable.

dudaatam.bsky.social•14 days ago

So the judge said they have to give the info back? You say they will abide because now if they don’t it will be a federal crime. How do you say that with a straight face? Who will charge them? Who will rule in favour in SCOTUS. Come on! Have we not learned a damn thing? There is no “rule of law”

dudaatam.bsky.social•14 days ago

Yes they did.The coverage should be focused not on that they did it, but why. We have to stop looking at the coup one little step at a time, and stand back and look at the big picture. There is a plan. The plan is not chaos. The plot is to collapse the government and become a dictatorship. MSM Focus
