The wealthy in the US are so detached from the rest of us that they seem to feel resentment having to pay taxes at all. Is it because they assume ALL taxes paid in get spent only on subsidies for poor? Leave it up to the middle class to do that. The rich need $ to make more $

Musk the magician proudly lists all the "obscure waste" he has found.The MAGA crowd goes wild. Behind the curtain however, farmers, destitute countries and US poor and sick. Sleight of hand to cover up his own agenda and investigations into his businesses

Remember when we had a House and Senate? Where ideas and conversations evolved into bills and those bills were negotiated and turned into law? The biggest waste of taxpayers money is now paying Congress for doing nothing.

The Verge reports email from Elon Musk to Twitter staff re: "barely breaking even". Banks are selling debt from funds given to Musk to buy Twitter. SpaceX propped up by gov contracts. Tesla is a trillion-dollar pump & dump. HOW will he make US gov more efficient? World's most prolific welfare queen.

And Trump expects everyone to believe HE’S the one who’s been unfairly targeted—MAGA actually believes him. This is spot on!

This! Is! Pathetic! X is a disinformation dumpster fire—so why would anyone use it as a model for fact-checking? Oh wait… 🚨 Meta is ditching its fact-checking program for a ‘community notes’ system like X. Because who needs truth when you can crowdsource chaos?

The American flag has been lowered by the death of President Carter. When it rises again, a striking metaphor will be complete. Lowered in respect for morals, selflessness and principles and raised again for immorality, selfish interests, corruption. God fearing to Godlessness.

Musk has been CONTROLLING freedom of speech since he bought X. Owning Spacelink, he CONTROLS communications. By government contracts he CONTROLS the future of war weaponry. CONTROLS Space exploration. He has no loyalty to one Country. He wants to CONTROL them all

🔥 @nashvillescene.com’s @betsyphillips.bsky.social calls out Sen Bo Watson for attacking trans people on Christmas—invoking ‘Frankenstein’ to say we shouldn’t mess with God’s handiwork while wearing glasses, being a physical therapist (!), possibly circumcised😬 www.nashvillescene.com/news/pithint...

Trump/MAGA want migrants deported. The people who come here, work for cheap and do the jobs that Americans don't want to do. Musk wants to import Indians to work for cheap wages doing jobs that millions of Americans are trained to do and WANT to do. DOUBLE STANDARD

Republican Senators are now targeting social security. With Billionaires in charge, MAGA loses the focus of lowering prices for everyone and targets the poorest people on SNAP. They turn the ire of the middle class to the poor instead of the rich Corps who set prices and Trump tarriffs

Have you ever seen the movie, "Being there" with Peter Sellers and Shirley McClain? It came to mind as I read some of Musk's posts today.

I’m good with this! Republicans will try but they can’t say shit on this without hypocrisy. Trump is a felon and so are several of his close advisors. 🚨President Joe Biden has decided to pardon his son Hunter and is expected to announce it Sunday night.

From my earliest days in Congress, I’ve made it a mission to fight the scourges of HIV/AIDS and anti-LGBTQ discrimination. On World Aids Day, we recommit to the work to save our health care, expand treatment and achieve our shared dream of an AIDS-free generation. - Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi

President Biden pardons his son: “No reasonable person can reach any other conclusion than Hunter was singled out only because he is my son - and that is wrong.”

I’m happy for the Biden family. This has been a long and undeserved nightmare. May they find peace these holidays.

Merrick Garland dragged his feet on prosecuting Donald Trump because he likely didn’t want to appear political. Garland also went full speed ahead prosecuting Hunter because he likely wanted to be considered impartial and not appear political. Just didn’t want any of that to be forgotten!

They say Elon Musk doesn’t have original ideas; he just copies other people’s ideas and puts money behind them to make them better, while he stiffs the original creators.
