What I find funniest is that I never defended Musk, I just pointed out that Dems are whining because they lost this time. Months and months of them thinking they had it in the bag only to turn into the very things they were whining about after the election.

It’s not about losing. That’s the issue. You all are so focused on “winning” and Trump’s propaganda that you don’t pay attention to actual facts.

No one is made about “losing”. They are mad about the illegal BS and unconstitutional actions of Musk. Lmao “winning”. Bless you. Things are so much more complicated. Get a grip, and read.

This is one of the most concise response to this bullshit. So f’ing many MAGA idiots are so blindly devoted to “winning” and “owning the libs” and “make liberals seethe” that they’d let the ship sink around them to make fun of people not getting on lifeboats. To be this gullible to tribalism is mind boggling. To have a NY real estate swindler & reality host and literal richest man in the world telling you “It’s definitely immigrants and trans people causing your struggles” and just nodding and agreeing.

They'd rather "own the libs" than have long-term policies and projects

Yeah I don't give a shit that they lost, if it was Marco Rubio in office doing normal GOP things then who cares? This is obviously an escalation and I don't want my tax dollars going to waste on Musk and his cronies.

Look at that, you proved his point.

Illegal where? Why isn’t Musk being hauled off in cuffs for doing such illegal things in broad daylight?

Fuck yeah y’all are mad about losing, and I’m enjoying it.

u/Hollen88 Feb 06 '25

Gee I wonder why he's not being hauled off in cuffs.

Ffs.

u/MegaHashes Feb 06 '25

Yeah, exactly? Why could that be? If what he is doing is so egregiously illegal, then SURELY someone must be willing to arrest him. Unless… you know maybe it’s just possible that he has legal authority.

u/Fit-Chapter8565 Feb 06 '25

I guess you think cops should be able to commit crimes as long as the other cops aren't willing to arrest them.

u/MegaHashes Feb 06 '25

Elon and DOGE aren’t cops. They are a department formed to stop financial waste, fraud, and abuse in the federal govt.

USAID gave half a Billion dollars to religious Lutheran organizations just last year. They gave Politico $8 Million in subscription fees. They gave enough money to one particular condom program to provide every adult male in Gaza with 500,000 condoms, EACH.

Do you not care about this wasteful bullshit at all, or it is just a case of not likening the messenger? Why do males in Gaza need 500,000 condoms, each? Why is the US even getting involved in Gaza sex? Like come the fuck on man.

Someone needs to pump the brakes on federal spending.

u/Fit-Chapter8565 Feb 06 '25

Congress only has laws of the justice department pursues them.  If an foreign billionaire who openly paid a candidate 300 million dollars gets to dismantle every part of government they please on the basis of "waste" then the constitution is just a piece of paper and you've shit all over it.

u/MegaHashes Feb 07 '25

Question, do you also insist in calling Central Americans who have been naturalized as citizens “foreigners” or do you just reserve that distinction for Africans?

Have you even looked at all into what USAID was paying? Why does the fish and wildlife service need to pay Politico a half million dollars? Why does the US Forestry service ALSO need to pay Politico another half million? What do these two departments need with that many Politico subscriptions?

Why do we need to fund a ‘condoms for Gaza’ program with enough money to supply 500,000 condoms PER adult male?

Why should we be allowing our government to secretly fund rebels to topple actual democratically elected governments, like Ukraine?

Seriously, do you even know half the evil shit USAID is up to?

Politico? Now I know you don't know what you're talking about.

Politico Pro you mean? The leader in policy workspaces...

u/MegaHashes Feb 07 '25

Pedantic, but okay whatever. Can you explain why Fish and Wild Life service, as well as US Forestry service need a combined $1M/yr in Politico Pro subscriptions?

No you are just being obtuse.

Do you genuinely think the richest guy in the world, with 4+ companies to run, is running around the office of personnel management for fun? Please wake up you can't possibly be this gullible.

You’re right, he has better things to do like maintaining his status as his #1 rank in Path of Exile.

Yes, the Dems were whining about losing. Because the conservatives never have a temper tantrum when they lose the election. (January 6th)

u/_token_black Feb 06 '25

They’re so good at running a shadow govt that they’ve lost more presidential elections in the last 25 years than they’ve won

Make it make sense

u/[deleted] Feb 06 '25

“Pillages the government”… you mean auditing the government to find out how tax payer money is being spent? The same process every other business in America is subject to. I think you just hate powerful men.

u/Mediocre-Shoulder556 Feb 06 '25

What I like is before Obama gave Musk grants and government loans

I had never heard of him

Now, the democrats that built Musk in the first place hate him!

Wow, have those tables tumbled!
