But at least queer/trans people can’t call themselves they/them anymore. That’s got to be worth more than any lives saved by WHO’s support in Africa. You know? Priorities ✌🏾

Guess what It needs an executive order to name only two genders . That was long in coming , it seems the spawn of the devil had almost succeeded in corrupting biology.

Every govt agency should immediately shut down their DEI offices by close of day.

You think I care about the clown show going on here by being either red or blue?

I will call out whatever I know is wrong on both sides.

What I saw was a man who was greeting the crowd and it is as simple as that until political undertones twist it to become something they feel it is.

What I saw was a man thanking his supporters.

Symbolically it's how a really ecstatic person express this
" From the bottom of my heart, I salute you all".
Musk should have blown a kiss to the crowd.When Melania and Trump didn't touch lips on Monday,Oh No, there is a wall between the First couple. The liberals will always look for something to whine on.

Obama knew this was illegal .By your words ,he was lawless too.

Joe Biden supporters claiming an bipartisan immigration bill failed because of Trump's influence
In one day Trump has taken actions that will stop illegal immigration without having to go to congress. Biden deliberately let everyone in. Why would Venezuela for instance spend money on prisons when they can simply banish them to Joe Bidens America.
Mayorkas was not pardoned. It would be very easy to charge him with human trafficking. Just one case and he is found liable.

Pivoting, because you know you have no defense of elon, except for deflecting or hand waving.

Also have you seen me on here defending Biden's health? Biden's arrogance, in refusing to step down and not run for reelection early. Is the the reason Trump won.

Also don't pretend you care about crime carriedout by Presidents, your man is a convicted felon.

Trump executive order I posted earlier deals with weaponization by prosecutors and other legal bodies. I can guarantee you that conviction and every other will be overturned with extreme prejudice

I'm wondering whether you people who supported Joe Biden have any shame at all. For four years they defended his health saying he was sharp and he lied about never pardoning. They said a preemptive pardon was acceptance of guilt.

To distract attention they are capitalizing on an innocent gesture. Make you forget about the crimes Joe family and admin committed. You are just a clown who can't see through the circus.

I've linked to a clip of it, it's right there. The context is he chose to deliberately do the salute twice.
Having aspergers isn't a condition that cames you lose muscle control, that make you do a siege heil involuntarily, elon isn't a man I'd think doesn't know what it means.

OMG OMG He did the Nazi salute twice?
The podium was in the middle of the crowd . He waved to the criwds Infront first them to the ones behind me.
Did the Nazi touch their hearts as a symbol of heartfelt appreciation? Or they simply stretched out their right hand?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VfYjPzj1Xw?si=mHMp4xW_Kl6XgE1h

Now basilico, let's assume your demented premise that Kamala is a Nazi, what is your justification for Elon here, are you saying he's a nazi, but it's ok because Kamala did it?

You seriously think Elon Musk made a Nazi salute ?

Musk joked during the opening monologue of the episode that he guest-hosted.
"I'm actually making history tonight as the first person with Asperger's to host SNL. Or at least the first person to admit it," he said.
Find out what that bolded word means before making a fool of yourself.

I'd seen that clip of Kamala and I chose to ignore the context just like you are ignoring what Musk said. Before saluting the crowd thanking them effusively for electing Trump.
Enemedia and naysayers whose duty is to gaslight are in jubilant mode , now that Musk is being compared to Nazi.

Enemedia went on and correctly explained a photo of St Jesus of Chicago waving a jihadi salute. A conservative would have been deplatformed had he been the one.

This is the order that pardoned criminals by genocide Joe will not escape. Mary McCord, James Comey, Andrew McCabe, John Brennan,etc . You will be questioned at the risk of perjury.You will hire $250 an hour lawyers like Nathan Wade .

(b) The Director of National Intelligence, in consultation with the heads of the appropriate departments and agencies within the Intelligence Community, shall take all appropriate action to review the activities of the Intelligence Community over the last 4 years and identify any instances where the Intelligence Community’s conduct appears to have been contrary to the purposes and policies of this order, and prepare a report to be submitted to the President, through the Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy and the National Security Advisor, with recommendations for appropriate remedial actions to be taken to fulfill the purposes and policies of this order. The term “Intelligence Community” has the meaning given the term in section 3003 of title 50, United States Code.

Gov Newscum. An Executive Order especially tailored for you and your environmentalist's.

January 20, 2025

MEMORANDUM FOR THE SECRETARY OF COMMERCE

THE SECRETARY OF THE INTERIOR

SUBJECT: Putting People over Fish: Stopping Radical

Environmentalism to Provide Water to Southern

California

I hereby direct the Secretary of Commerce and Secretary of the Interior, in consultation with the heads of other departments and agencies of the United States as necessary, to immediately restart the work from my first Administration by the National Marine Fisheries Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Bureau of Reclamation, and other agencies to route more water from the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta to other parts of the state for use by the people there who desperately need a reliable water supply.

During my first term, the State of California, at the direction of its Governor, filed a lawsuit to stop my Administration from implementing improvements to California’s water infrastructure. My Administration’s plan would have allowed enormous amounts of water to flow from the snow melt and rainwater in rivers in Northern California to beneficial use in the Central Valley and Southern California. This catastrophic halt was allegedly in protection of the Delta smelt and other species of fish. Today, this enormous water supply flows wastefully into the Pacific Ocean.

The recent deadly and historically destructive wildfires in Southern California underscore why the State of California needs a reliable water supply and sound vegetation management practices in order to provide water desperately needed there, and why this plan must immediately be reimplemented.

Within 90 days of the date of this memorandum, the Secretary of Commerce and Secretary of the Interior shall report to me regarding the progress made in implementing the policies in this memorandum and provide any recommendations regarding future implementation.

It remains to be seen how well this will be implemented

It'll require a constitutional amendment.

My understanding is that it was set in the constitution to cater for freed African slaves.
There will be lawsuits filed though if noone files suit, the order stays. An Obama judge will block it , will be appealed all the way to SCOTUS.

All 49 living of the 51 former intelligence officers who openly lied about the laptop from hell being Russian propaganda have had their security clearance revoked. Hayden has a firm that does data business with the IC, he should be most affected. Especially singled out was John Bolton too for his book that relied on partly from his security clearance.

Biden pardoned all J6 Committe, their staff and all witness. Michael Byrd who shot Ashley Babbit and later promoted to captain is also pardoned.

Trump defining gender as male and female has liberals rattled. Will be good if they go to court to prove there are at least 50 genders who will be discriminated .
That alone should collapse some EU govts, previously anyone who said that was cancelled by the mob.
There is only one option available to gender transitioners.
The fact that an executive order is needed shows how lunatic liberal policies have been forced upon us.
