He's also an unpaid advisor (not an official), doing nothing but telling POTUS where the leaks are, in our spending. Did anybody elect the head of the treasury? Clown.

There you go. Have to resort to name calling. Thanks for playing.


You shouldn't complain about others using euphemistic adjectives to describe you when you are doing the same to the others.

Musk's brownshirts in DOGE believe they have a right to anonymity while setting the US treasury (and economy) on fire. Be a shame if somebody posted all their names on a site like this one for the sake of record-keeping.

What's the practical point you're trying to make here? If a billionaire had paid Biden to just remove bits of the government he didn't like, I doubt you'd be splitting hairs over advisors vs officials.

The only practical difference I can see, between Musk telling Trump what to do vs Musk making the decisions for Trump, is that by not being an official employee Musk doesn't have to divest himself of assets that might create a conflict of interest. That would be a bit annoying, given the conflict of interest is the entire point. So they just decided, alright, he won't work for the government but he'll have full access anyway.

Trump's team helped get the Israel/Gaza cease-fire days before he was even sworn back in.
you were saying this nine days ago
are you keeping to the position that the ceasefire was important
have you seen enough now, can we be on the same side

you guys have been saying for ages that we need to stay out of international stuff and keep the money at home
the president is saying he's going to dump the united states' resources into building an entire country
what happened to not wasting money overseas
please, come here
we need you to help us stop this

Initially I thought the reason the ceasefire went through was because Israel and Palestine were waiting to see who would win the election, because there's no point in agreeing to something if it'll be torn up in a months time. Then Biden's team manage to get Trump's to agree to follow the same basic plan, continuity is assured, and the ceasefire can be agreed.

I am now realising the alternative explanation where Israel agreed because they knew Trump was just going to give them everything they want for the sake of positive headlines. Peace has been achieved, by taking one side and just... putting them somewhere else? Genius. I don't suppose the US is volunteering to take the refugees? Truly there could be no negative consequences of this.

Looking forward to seeing how he plans to end Russia's war on Ukraine on day one.

$1,5M for DEI in Serbian offices. $70k for a DEI musical in Ireland. $47k for a transgender opera in Colombia. Go ahead and tell me how these are made for America, and how they're worth being paid with tax dollars.
I think we've got to the point where we literally don't believe any of these reports, even if true.

Donald cried wolf too many times.

I have watched the press about his Gaza statement.

I have never witnessed a politician speak so much nonsense and garbage in my life.

I laughed entirely at the press conference. What a spectacle and the US is being made as fools all over the world. 🤣🤣🤣

"RIVIERA OF THE MIDDLE EAST" sent me! 🤣🤣🤣

That's the only good part, he can't be elected again. This is his second term and US presidents can only run two terms. Of course he will try to rewrite those rules to change that, but doubtful he can. At least lets hope he cant.

are you genuinely telling me you think he's gonna leave when he was on the campaign saying that next time you won't have to vote, saying that he wants the 22nd amendment removed
22 isn't going to stop him any more than 14 did

Lets hope he can't. I doubt he makes 4 years anyways, with his health and the fact he's making lots of enemies, or even impeachment.

Well, weird things have happened lately. Honestly, there are a lot of events that happened that weren't on my bingo card...

And yet, it's funny how it still not surprising that those events actually happened.

Lol, now after world-wide backlash, including threats of war crimes against Trump, Marco Rubio and press secretary appear to backtrack on president’s proposal to permanently relocate Palestinians in Gaza.
