If this jerk really wants money. Why doesn’t he get Musk to give it to him,?

Seems like an odd move to make now, when they’re claiming everything this Admin does, from tariffs to removals to a foreign gulag, involves state secrets and foreign policy.

spike02134.bsky.social•6 days ago

well, it isn't as if this admin believes in democracy so asking them to support it elsewhere is a bit of a stretch.

Well I think Marco Rubio is one big wasteful expense!

Marco will have to borrow his kids school pencils soon.

America elected a convicted felon who should be in prison this very day- but for SCOTUS delaying his trials and Mitch McConnell’s cowardice in failing to impeach him for the insurrection. Of course this piece of shit is trying to destroy democracy as we’ve known it. Strap in- it’s going to get worse

Impeach disgraced trumps! He’s a Terrorist!

Well of course he wants to cut it. He doesn't want anyone else to have say in those decisions but him and his goons.

Putin is happy. What a brilliant investment he made. Future generations will look at the Ukraine invasion the same way we look at Bobby Fischer's queen sacrifice.

Anything to make it look like he is saving tax-payer money but in actuality he is just targeting the poor and underprivileged.

There will be no State Department … Trump is hollowing-out affairs of state. Trump is disassembling government. The dissolution of the United Stares of America will soon follow.

The Supreme Court ordered a U.S. citizen returned from a foreign prison. Trump said no. Bukele mocked the ruling—from inside the Oval Office. The GOP cheered. No one stopped it. This isn’t a crisis. It’s a coup in real time. Read it before they delete it.

On Putin’s orders Trump will dismantle all US influence abroad, weaken our alliances, and saddle us up closer to a murderous communist regime. It is what he has been groomed for these past decades.

Can anyone name something bad Hitler did before 1933, where Trump has not done something similar?

Can anyone name something bad Hitler did in 1933, where Trump is not currently attempting something similar?

Why not 100%?
He could sell immigrants and prisoners to fellow directors as slaves. And nationally, mix in political opposition.
