Glad they’re the ones saying it.
If I say it then I’m a conspiracy theorist.

The criminal is looking to disarm agencies that regulate his operations, cut govt expenses that benefit people to fund his rocket projects and he’s deceiving maga into believing he’s doing it to save them money.

Maeve7:
WASHINGTON—Twenty one federal employees who had been working with Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency resigned, writing in a letter that they wouldn’t offer their expertise to overhaul the government if it meant undermining essential services.

“We will not use our skills as technologists to compromise core government systems, jeopardize Americans’ sensitive data, or dismantle critical public services,” the former employees wrote on Tuesday in a letter addressed to White House chief of staff Susie Wiles. “We will not lend our expertise to carry out or legitimize DOGE’s actions.”

If I may ask which needful please?I hope you are not talking about impeaching the Hilter wannabe again?
The needful being that they should begin the process of dismantling the U.S. African Command; as it is only Congress that has the power to set up/close a U.S. military base or command

Let them say whatever they want, they are beginning to feel the pain and it has only begun. I knew it would be a sh** show but I didn’t expect Trump to self-destruct this fast.

Which one of their overused phrases did I miss?
Current military lawyers and legal experts told Military.com the administration's firings of the Air Force, Army and Navy's top judge advocates general politicizes and sets an alarming precedent for a crucial job in the military, all as President Donald Trump has mused about using the military in unorthodox and potentially illegal ways.


Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced late Friday evening the firings of the top legal officers for the military services -- those responsible for ensuring the Uniform Code of Military Justice is followed by commanders -- as well as the Joint Chiefs chairman, the Navy's top officer and Air Force vice chief.

As part of the judge advocates general purge, Air Force Lt. Gen. Charles Plummer and Army Lt. Gen. Joseph Berger were fired. Navy Rear Adm. Lia Reynolds remains in the position because she was already performing the duties of the top lawyer for the sea service following the resignation of Vice Adm. Christopher French late last year. French had been in the job as the Navy's top lawyer for just a few months.

Hegseth told reporters Monday that the removals were necessary because he didn't want them to pose any "roadblocks to orders that are given by a commander in chief."

Those senior judge advocates general, or JAGs, of the military branches play the important role of setting each service's legal priorities and interpreting military law for top leaders. Their roles have been historically viewed as apolitical, and they oversee everything from a wide variety of criminal cases involving the rank and file to making sure commanders are aware of international law in combat.



The defense secretary didn't elaborate on what specific orders the military's top lawyers could potentially try to block, but Trump has a history of saying he wants to use troops to enforce federal laws, especially in cities run by Democratic mayors.

It’s obvious they’re trying to create a tiny loophole of technicality that they can use to either disavow him when shyte hits the fan or take credit if it goes according to their plan.

So painfully obvious it’s almost childish they think we can’t tell.

It’s kinda suspicious that many prominent GOP members of Congress are now silent about the USAID revelations… Is it because the agency also funded the International Republican Institute, presently led by Senators Tom Cotton and Joni Ernst?

Anyone telling you, with a straight face, that government waste and corruption only benefited one party within the last 30+ years is either blatantly lying to you, or is extremely naive..

It’s this reveling in people’s anguish that makes you guys ghoulish. There’s a certain level of cruelty that most of you possess (let me not generalize) and you’re willing to die if it means that the people you thought you were hurting with your votes get to suffer .
It’s a common denominator for anyone who’s observant.
I try to wrap my head around it but I can’t cos obviously can’t relate to wanting to see people suffer.

Her tears were delicious. I hope you got your fill?

Wasn't joy Reid making fun of white tears? she was mocking white women with her racist show nobody watches. DEI is DEI, she felt untouched because of the woke nature of her company. Megyn Kelly was fired for supporting someone who wear a costume in a Halloween event, joy Reid is constantly saying n doing racist things n got a pass for it. Now she is fired she said the network is racist 😂

They fired her because of her stance against trump n support for black lives matter 😂😂😂😂😂

The 47th president blaming the 45th president for bad leadership.


President Donald Trump slammed the 2020 trade deal called the 'US-Mexico-Canada Agreement' for putting unfair financial burdens on American citizens. During a press conference on Monday, the 78-year-old claimed that Canada and Mexico took advantage of the US on manufacturing due to USMCA and wondered who would sign such a deal. Turns out, it was Trump himself who signed the 2020 USMCA during his first term.
At the press conference, the president added that tariffs on Canadian and Mexican imports will go forward as scheduled.
Blunder after blunder. He doesn’t even stop to think. Just open mouth waah. So embarrassing
He continued, “I look at some of these agreements, I’d read them at night, and I’d say, ‘Who would ever sign a thing like this ?’ So the tariffs will go forward, yes, and we’re gonna make up a lot of territory. All we want is reciprocal. We want reciprocity.”

Trump praised the USMCA in 2020 as the “best agreement we’ve ever made” and lauded it for replacing the “nightmare” North American Free Trade Agreement ratified under former President Bill Clinton, calling it the “worst trade deal ever made.”
Pic below of him holding the treaty after it was signed.

Now in 2025 “who would ever sign such a thing”.

I bet he signs whatever comes his way without reading because he obviously can’t read. That’s why he’s firing essential federal workers without even knowing what he’s doing. Then scrambling to hire them back.

LordAdam16, remember this?

Ibime:
5 years ago he replaced NAFTA with USMCA which is the trade deal with Canada and Mexico. 5 years later he is complaining that Canada and Mexico are flogging Yankee with trade deficits. If his deal was so good, why is he complaining about the fruits produced by the deal 5 years later?

Na only low IQ mumu go buy all that deal talk.

I get so irritated that they don’t fact check him on the spot. I would embarrass him by pointing out that he was the one who signed the so called terrible deal. Even if that’s the last act of journalism I get to do.

A lot of their lies and propaganda fly because journalists just sit there, listen and report on what he says. Knowing that the people who support him will never bother to know the truth especially when it doesn’t fit their narrative.

Expose the lie on live Immediately he tells it. By the time 20 or 30 of them have done that, he might actually consider understanding what he’s saying before he says it. You can clearly tell he just talks. No underlying comprehension at all

If someone digs a hole for you, then falls into it and you turn around and say “see why I told you to stop digging that hole? Because I knew it would affect you as much as you want it to affect me”, it’s not the same as wishing something bad happens to someone and rejoicing when it does.

We voted because we want the best for everyone including the groups that you guys hate.
You people voted because you were promised that these groups you hate would be punished by the authorities as soon as they get in power.

We’re hearing of young white boys buying ICE jackets off Amazon to go to construction stores and enjoy seeing the immigrants scrambling around in fear. That type of cruelty is what I’m talking about. But that’s a small example.

I’m not going to validate this false equivalence you’re trying to make. Doesn’t matter how it’s painted it’s not the same at all. And that’s all imma say about it.

Musk hasn't found waste nor widespread corruption.

The problem is that they may disagree on some of these programs but it is what they voted for and most of them understand that it is effective.

We're playing a dangerous game. Allowing twitter mobs who aren't familiar with how US power works or don't have a coherent view of how it's derived to dictate these things.

I keep thinking of all the US money and military power that went into the Panama canal. No one would argue it hasn't been immensely profitable for the US. Would we be able to do anything like that now?

Dems don't celebrate the suffering of Trump supporters. That's in fact their problem.

They believe in lifting everyone up. So they fund farm subsidies, Medicare, highways, telecom, wifi etc.

Big cities generally subsidize rural America which are generally Republicans.

I read the post/poem about Sue the republican and nothing could be truer. They enjoy everything democrats advocate for and then turn around to vote against it (to their own detriment too) because they want to see people who aren’t like them suffering.

We could have all the good things other first world countries have but conservatives would rather die of thirst than have free flowing water for everyone.
