Pretty wild that Elon’s debut as president elect was to strip funding for pediatric cancer research from the spending bill, only to watch the Senate have to pass it as a standalone bill. His first move was to fuck over kids with cancer.

I don't know what you should call a future president who bought his way into office, but "president elect" doesn't really fit, since nobody voted for him.
As he carries his kid around like a human shield. He doesn’t care about his own child? Why would he care about sick children? He needs to get the hell out of our politics. This country doesn’t want him. Nor, does Germany. He’s a dummkoff!
Let’s be logical. They control the media & wealth, then parade a few toothless buffoons to claim it’s what “everyone wants.” It’s not. This is a small group of oligarchs dictating the narrative, with their minority screaming loud enough to seem like a majority. This isn’t democracy it’s a takeover.
The delusion and the depths which they sink is just... fkn incredible to be honest. Even watching the GOP blame this on democrats when we all saw that they agreed to this bill in its entirety before this overreach. It's amazing how low they think of their viewers and voters.
Though they are justified in believing half the country is utterly incapable of critical thought. Most of the present media ‘personalities’ must congratulate themselves daily on how easy their jobs as ‘liars for hire’ have become over the last four years.
Ugh ya! Not because they absolutely supported it and wanted to keep it, but because they got publicly called out on DEFUNDING IT. And people started to see them for the monsters they truly are.
8:14 p.m. Senator Kaine spoke about healthcare and the CR. He then received consent for the Senate to pass H.R. 3391, Gabriella Miller Kids First Research Act 2.0, by voice vote.
I think it was a bundle of three bills. The Miller bill passed the House a few months ago and just got senate approval today but it appears the other two bills are still stripped out.
President Musk & Trump scuttled the 1st spending bill to shield Musk's investments in China & protect profits of UnitedHealth Group, the 2nd largest pharmacy benefit manager. The outbound investment feature & support for lower prescription drug cost were dropped in the new bill.
Why is everyone meekly tolerating this clown? Nobody voted for him! Stop giving him attention and referring to him as though he’s anything but an oligarch! Wow!
These people are disgusting that they steal from Children's Cancer Charity and take funding away from them. Children are innocent and they just want a chance at life. Why doesn't Elon donate some of that billion dollars he has? Maybe that would soften his heart. 🤷♂️
They usually won't grow to be fans of systems that leave most pepole without proper health care and without any safety nets. So it is easier to get rid off them when they're stil young and can't use themselves as examples for arguments against Musk ideology
/sarcasm
This bill was passed through the house as a stand alone bill and was never put on the floor by senate leader Schumer. Was done last March by the Republican majority house. At least be honest about it.
Yes, he is a terrorist cuz he is even messing with elections in Italy, Germany and Europe! This guy is the scum of immigrants! Revoke his green card and deport him
But, as Rep. Crockett pointed out, while pulling out the $190 million for childhood cancer that affe ts many people, $90 million for one person's inauguration wasn't touched.
Elon is Putin's puppet, and Putin keeps bombing children's cancer centres in Ukraine so the fact that Elon wants to stop funding children's cancer research is completely consistent with his boss's evil mentality
And then got b#### slapped as a result. So 45 can now see how ineffectual his protege is and how much trouble he stirred up for 45. All they got for their trouble was embarrassment, pushback, and hopefully a new found sense of purpose and confidence for those pushing back. #muskillegal
He promised us pain. These are the little sacrifices we have to make so he can get even richer. Pretty sure oligarchs are so consumed with their position as superior beings that kids with cancer aren't even on their radar.
I wish one of his kids gets cancer - I know it is a cold blooded thing to wish for BUT people like Musk will only feel pain when one closest to their heart gets it back in boomerang.
As a German who knows first hand what Nazi rule meant for the population, your comment makes me want to vomit. Yes, they kept the trains running, filled up with Jews, Gypsies, gay people and everyone who dared to oppose, destination Auschwitz. Or troops to the east. Returning empty. 1. think 2. post
Or playing the longer game Elon has shown that he can destroy any partisan agreement on a personal whim and no-one in the leadership of the GOP will even try to stand up to him - especially not his Vice President Donald Trump.
When you’re the richest man in the world you can buy anything including cancer treatment for a child. He does not care about anyone but himself. He is using Trump for his own gain.
Both parties are claiming that keeping the country running is a win. But I can't consider it successful when success requires removing funding for pediatric cancer research.
FAFO Elon Musk. We, as a country, need to show him that he can try to f**k with us, but we’re not going to just lay down like the oathbreakers in Congress
Elon doesn’t care, he is heartless and has zero empathy. This relationship with Trumpty is all about him…his cars, his tech, his permits, his spaceships…his toys, his ego.
Children fighting cancer doesn’t fit his list of priorities or narrative.
He's learning the hard way that he is not as smart as he thinks he is. If he'd left this to relatively seasoned hacks like Johnson the Rs would not have had the cancer headlines. This will be the first headline that cuts through to the wider public about "his" administration. Trump will not be happy
If so, he's lost his touch. If he blames Musky for him following Muskys lead it makes him look even weaker. I don't think he'll want to show weakness. He'd have to be completely demented to get that far out of character. Oh wait...
DT will continue to use Musk to threaten those voting against his wishes by paying for candidates in future primaries. Musk has an inexhaustible amount of $ neither DT nor any politician can overlook. Musk getting gored a bit on this one works just fine for DT. DT thrives in chaos & divisiveness.
1. Maybe. It didn't work this time though. If it doesn't work next time tfg may switch tactics. He is an idiot but also an excellent politician. 2. Strong disagree. Trump likes chaos but hates negative coverage. This makes him look weak. He followed Elon, ordered a shutdown, failed. He'll be mad af
Can't help but wonder how many families with members fighting their own battles with cancer, children & and adults, who voted for Trump. Don't tell me they didn't see this coming. They voted for a shit storm & a shit storm is what they got. Everybody loses.
Elon still got what he wanted in a way, b/c it’s not the full $190 million, but $60 million. Any amount of money most definitely helps, that goes w/out saying, just can’t believe Elon would go so far as to deny children cancer research zero funding. How evil can you get?
WTF. That flabby bitch is not an American IDGAF if citizenship was bestowed upon IT when IT did not come here thru *ahem* ‘legal’ means. This ILLEGAL f’er has ZERO say throw IT out NOW.
I'm beginning to think their astonishing stupidity may actually be our guardian angel. They quite simply don't have the knowledge or the skills to enact the things they want.
#ElonMusk has gone from scum to inhuman spewed inept gases. Hes a vial scum that doubled his #wealth over the #election, his 250 million bought him a seat in our govt b/c #Trump doesn't have a clue. Elon is taller, richer, just as ugly inside, and won't last in our country go bk #SouthAfriKKKaner.
I think he is more like a 1st lady trying to influence policy. Many 1st ladies have been influential, but for the greater good, not for self-serving desserts. Elonia is Trump's first lady. The last one is not playing this time. She is staying in NY.
Off the wall question here. With Trump allowing Musk to act as lead in interfering with the house votes, could Trump face charges of dereliction of duty? I'm not a legal person, so I am just wondering.
As a supposed rabid pro lifer and a doomer around the birth rates, you'd think he'd care about keeping kids with cancer alive. I guess if they're poor kids, he doesn't care...
I certainly do not wish to meet them in real life. I take your word for it. Who in their right minds would want to meet born again Nazis. They should have been consigned to history! :(
How is it conservative to continue to give Elon Musk government subsidies by the BILLIONS ...
but bitch about Kamala suggesting tax incentives for American first time home buyers?
or Tax incentives for American small business start up ?
or Student loan forgiveness?
or Money to build more housing?
I sincerely do not get it ..we slather the wealthy with more and more swag ..what are they doing for US ???
Elon could be building houses. He could be helping with clean water..he could be building schools and hospitals in rural areas ..
I have no desire to go to Mars ..or have a driverless car.
No Elon could be STRIPPED of his Ponzi scheme. Ppl he buys stocks in his own companies to inflate and then sells at high and drives down price only to do it again. This is why the stock market is so hi. The wealthy r driving up stocks and transferring ever more wealth to themselves
Conservative? Here I was thinking that the Trump/Musk government was all about fascism, hate, division and, most of all, absolute corruption and a transition to totalitarianism for the purpose of personally controlling all resources and people on earth.
Another thing we need is good public transit, but Musk hates trains because viable transit competes with his car company, and unlike his vehicles, electric trains are meaningfully better than ICE's for the environment.
Electric vehicles are meaningfully better than ICE's for the environment, and work in more rural areas where trains will never be practical. Both are appropriate technologies. I don't think Musk is too concerned with the current 300 million cars in the US being replaced by rail anytime soon.
They're *marginally* better, they're still cars. Half the carbon emissions of a vehicle come just from production. They're heavier and cause more road wear (road maintenance has emissions), they still have tires (tire pollution is horrendous).
The "weight" argument is a red herring, when you compare similar vehicles there is often no difference at all. Tesla Model 3 weighs the same as BMW 3 series for example, and the vast majority of road wear is from construction vehicles, garbage trucks, buses, etc, because the weight is far greater.
The slathering is done by temporarily inconvenienced would-be billionaires who by voting for and supporting the interests of oligarchs, are advertising what they would do were they given the same power and resources. Thoughts of fantasy hegemony and sadism give them comfort.
Mars colonisation is Musk/MAGA BS, he knows it’s impossible at this point in human technology.
It’s a pipe dream he sells/flogs to MAGA illiterates who eat it up like the “dimestore” comics they’re able to understand from the pictures.
Elon is a narcissistic sociopath like tRump, just smarter and more dangerous. He only cares about getting richer. i can't empathize either, but that is who he is... 🤷♂️
We have to give billions to Musk and other Muskettes and giant rich corporations so it will 𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘬𝘭𝘦 𝘥𝘰𝘸𝘯. Yes, I know that's never actually happened before, but maybe this time it will. And maybe the sun will set in the east tonight, too!
Currently, conservatism means moving all power and wealth away from the people and to the oligarchs. The progressive programs you detail empower the general populace which counters conservative goals.
The rich and powerful don’t care much for the Constitution unless they can manipulate parts of it to gain more power. They misused the 14th amendment to win Citizens United, but don’t like it so much for reproductive rights, marriage equality, or birthright citizenship.
When I heard Elon talk about his Trans child (I have a T child too) it was completely awful. He is a bottom of the basement person. I don’t care how rich he is. The entire event was all about him and not the pain or challenges of his child. Ugh. Go back to your cave.
He saw that someone got shot for denying too much healthcare and got lots of news coverage, and couldnt stand not being the center of attention for a little while
190 million for cancer research. Musk is worth >400 BILLION. He could donate the whole 190 and not even notice. I'd say he can even claim a deduction, but he already doesn't pay taxes. Musk contributes nothing, has invented nothing; he is a life force vampire.
In one fell swoop he proved that a) He was dead wrong about being able to make major cuts just by trimming bureaucratic “fat” and b) He’s just as evil a piece of shit as we suspected.
The prediction, then is? Hate will be setting policy? No doubt, the American citizen will need to take action because politics represents wealth and greed, not reason and civilization.
Fuck over kids with cancer at Christmastime no less. Fuck the nepo-baby, rubber faced ketamine addled President Musk. Just a disgrace to humanity in every possible way.
He blocked that bill because it contained restrictions on what tech companies could take to China, and it would have ruined the deal he was working on with the Chinese gov. Everything else was just incidental to him.
What a heartless monster. He might have a couple of bucks in his pocket but tryna strip funding for pediatric cancer research is rock bottom. He is a poor man.
Cicero in Paradoxa, VI, 1, 44.
Animus hominis dives, non arca appellari solet. Quamvis illa sit
plena, dum te inanem videbo, divitem non putabo.”
“It is a man’s mind and not his money chest which is called rich.Though your coffers be full, while I see you empty, I shall neverconsider you wealthy.”
On the account of true Human Wealth he is a pauper, he is bereft of wealth no matter how many material things he has.

I feel awful for that organization that had tried so hard to get that funding.
Elon should be shamed forever for this.
Ask Mr. Justice Matters where i can file a case to point out Federal Law is being broken to seat fat orange.
Don't you guys read your channel?

so she was only 13, unmarried, but she was so hot.

This is actually worse than the early days of Nazism, because at least Hitler kept the trains running on time.
It's more like Mad Max, or should we call it "Mad Musk!"
Eric had to be forced by Daddy to steal the money from cancer kids, Leon did it all on his own
A lump of coal for anyone who supports that.
Too soon?
Sorry
We don't want him in our country!
Next remove Elon from govt contractoring especially now that he’s co-president pretend. It’s a real serious conflict of interest.
This is who they are. Anyone surprised at this hasn't been paying attention.
Social Security is next in line, and the GOP Senate won't stop it.
Children fighting cancer doesn’t fit his list of priorities or narrative.
If they get rid of kids, fewer votes for the dems, right?
Pigs
But You 🪨Brian!
✌️🩷🇨🇦
Absolutely nothing wrong with any of this.
Nazi Party blames it on immigrants
Leon blames it on Chancellor Scholz
I have no words for this!

80% of the US lives in metro areas, not rural.
It’s a pipe dream he sells/flogs to MAGA illiterates who eat it up like the “dimestore” comics they’re able to understand from the pictures.
*apologies if preaching to the converted*
One in twenty-five persons is a sociopath. Clearly that ratio is significantly higher amongst politicians and preachers.
and likely billionaires.
(that's how they got "wildly successful")
IMO everyone already knew who Trump is & how they feel about him.
Sarah Longwell's post-election Focus Group pods are excruciating, but the voter clips explain a LOT. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXhSiwAB-MM&list=PLJNKzTkCZE9tbZqSKCntLzBTsiWPIHS89
No idea why anyone could stand to watch a moment of Apprentice, let alone entrust him with any power whatsoever.
