Whatever. No sympathy. Everybody who voted for Trump voted for somebody to get hurt. Everybody who voted for him knew he’d do awful things to some people. They just didn’t think they’d be the “some people.”

Future reform: Ban all judges, fed employees, and other officials from owning shares of individual public companies. Ban lawmakers, WH and cabinet officials or their spouses from owning stakes in private companies. Enforce via both criminal and civil penalties so pardons can’t short-circuit.

Now that musk is saying he’s doing the DOGE stuff “because the globalists have plotted a Great Replacement in which they use government handouts to buy votes from illegal immigrants and urban blacks” maybe we don’t have to act like this is about deficits or cost cutting anymore

"People who like to sound tough reflexively back the guys with guns over the guys in jeans with sacks of grain or the guys in suits with papers. But take it from someone who spent nearly 1,500 days downrange over the course of 20 years: USAID is worth every penny."

These dickheads want to think of themselves as gilded age industrialists when in reality they invented some fucking app for short term rentals of birds or some other shit that hemorrhages money every year, will never be profitable, and is kept afloat through constant injections of venture capital.

Hey Elon👋🏽 Every single person in this country deserves to know their rights. That's legal. Maybe you should brush up on our laws given the fact you're breaking them to steal American's sensitive data. PS. This video is manipulated, and I wasn't even at the event shown.

In this Ohio town, it was tradition: Latin mass, sausage at Bob Evans, and then down to the old Treasury Department servers to download every American’s Social Security number. But now the woke mob wants to take all that away.

Just a reminder that Musk couldn’t get a top level security clearance. And he was under investigation for violating the terms of the clearance he did have. Now he has your Social Security number, your tax returns, and is unilaterally deciding who the government does and does not pay.

Black Lives Matter fundamentally broke these people’s brains. They couldn’t bear the idea that they might have to tell a different story about this country and thus tell a different story about themselves. They hated it, and now they are using everything they have to never feel that way again.

Here’s the thing about fascism: it’s actually a spiritual project. That’s why when you say “migration is great for the economy”, fascists don’t care. They think “well, the idea of racial purity is more appealing to my soul than a strong economy, so screw the economy”. That was Hitler’s argument.

It’s remarkable how indistinguishable Thiel’s politics are in this from an entry-level 4chan poster. It isn’t just the “Epstein didn’t kill himself lab leak bioweapon” dur dur dur. It’s the idea that secret answers are stored in the government, and releasing them will end some fictitious “regime.”
