Exactly. Doge isn’t doing what it’s doing because “Musk didn’t know better.” Complete picture is Doge is carrying out 2025 project by Russ, main objective being removing career fed workers who would not bend the knee to Trump. Careers workers were a major factor keeping Trump under check before

The US met privately with Russia and (thus far) here’s what come out of it: Russia keeps all territory taken; US takes significant public revenue from Ukrainian state; Ukraine never joins Nato. This is nothing short of a win for Putin, at a time in which going on with the invasion seems too costly

The deal Trump is going for benefits Russia above all, access or no access to Ukraine’s minerals.

Agree with your original point about Ukraine’s rare earth. But Russia is in a weak spot, unable to advance. This is the time to put pressure on Putin, not on Zelenski. And yet Trump is blaming the Ukraine for causing the war? Letting Putin keep all invaded territory as a reward?

Judge Reyes: *points at counsel*
DOJ: OMG, that’s “physical direction of counsel for dramatic effect.”

Just as Trump/Bannon strategy is to hit dems and the media with 3 things a day because they can’t responde to everything and get lost in the fog, Trump should be hit with 3 lawsuits a day or more, up to the point the DOJ is overwhelmed and demoralized in court. Causes of action aplenty

This is interesting. How come they can’t see it? The county went for Trump, but Trump never campaigned on taxing the billionaires; he in fact did the opposite on his first term.

White House explained that Musk will cry conflict of interest whenever he thinks he’s conflicted. That way, Trump will know there’s a conflict and will remove Musk from whatever subject he has a personal stake in. Prob the same goes for Krause. So clever, the president. What a perfect system /s

It’s not about the resume, it’s a power play; it’s about loyalty. The newly appointed is “his” guy now. Prob that’s the best resume Trump could find for a military agreeing to be a yes man. So bad.

If anything, this shows the will of the imperial president is up for sale to the highest bidder. Honestly don’t know if leaders will rush to fight this or hurry to try to be the next company/sector closest to the president. Even criminals can bargain their way out of federal prosecution (Adams)

So tariffs are no longer (just) about tariffs? If Trump finds that there’s been a non-monetary barrier, or that a US business is prevented from operating, he’ll responde with whatever measures he feels like deploying.
Wonder if EU regs - say, of tech bros’ companies - will fit this definition.

Would take probably European leaders realizing nato is compromised under Trump + realizing that Trump unchecked internally may result in nato being crippled long term/indefinitely.

Not a bad idea. The whole of EU should do the same.

So payment of a large sum of money in exchange for a pass on a merger… that’s effectively a bribe.

He can do it because he is doing it. Now, should he be allowed to keep on doing it? Is congress going to do anything about it?
Also: his use of meme coin is very, very suspicious

Now that he implied it was GM, the car company, GM better get into trump’s meme coin. And make that car a reality. Or else.

Wonder how much they bought in trump meme coin. Or melania’s.

Sorry, didn’t mean to imply it isn’t happening. It is. I meant everybody knows what a nazi salute is, even if they come online in support of Musk (saying whatever they are saying), they know what that gesture represents.

Anybody protecting Trump/Musk on grounds of “no proof of subjective intent” shouldn’t be taken seriously. They are literally closing their eyes to reality. Imagine a kid telling their parents they can’t be grounded because no subjective intent has been proven. That’s what these ppl are trying to do

Nobody thinks it wasn’t. And with Germany a few weeks from electing a new government, this absolutely shouldn’t be seen as an isolated ‘gesture’

Whenever someone says Trump will fail attempting something ‘because constitution,’ I have basically the same reaction as historians

Trump won the popular vote ‘massively’, so he claims, yet his inauguration happened behind closed doors, tech billionaires front and center (better seats than his own cabinet). That says a lot about what’s to come.

ESPN regardless, that assumption actually explains Sky’s insistence on keeping Danica Patrick on
