He says that he wants to give some of this #BloodMoney back to the American citizens. Question: does he really have it? The only thing I see happening is sloppy, cooked books, #corruption, #incompetence, and #grift. Any “perks” returned back to us are mere “chump change”. What fools believe.

Musk and his army of dipshits on Twitter keep pointing to Bill Clinton’s federal worker reduction in the 1990s to defend Trump. The difference? Congress passed a law that Clinton signed, he didn’t just get the nearest billionaire to illegally start dismantling the government based on his whims.

#Trump administration wants the #SupremeCourt to let the #firing of #whistleblower agency head proceed. This could be a breach leading to deeper #ConstitutionalCrisis, if #POTUS is #unbound and #GovernmentWorkers have zero #rights and #protections. #Havoc #Alarm apnews.com/article/supr...

#Google apparently doesn’t believe in #facts or #FreeSpeech, but it’s still the #GulfOfMexico. I agree with #Mexico, #AssociatedPress, #InternationalHydrographicOrganization ( #IHO ), etc. These are the international standards. It’s the history of many centuries. www.bbc.com/news/article...

I agree with #Mexico, the #AP & The #InternationalHydrographicOrganization ( #IHO ) that global standards and history designate it as the #GulfOfMexico. It’s also #Denali mountain & park, as per indigenous history & identify. Get smart, & get it right #Google & #Apple. apnews.com/article/trum...

This is exactly what’s wrong with this country! The fact that Trump tried to place blame on immigrants in disgraceful and down right dirty. It’s time for the uneducated to educate themselves on what’s really going on on our country. ✊🏽💙 #truth #realitymatters #voteblue #dirtymoney

“…alarming… the #Trump administration would punish #AP for its independent #journalism… Limiting our access to the #OvalOffice based on the content of AP’s #speech not only severely impedes the #PublicAccess to independent #news, it plainly violates the #FirstAmendment.” apnews.com/article/trum...
