Because Musk did such a good job with that at Twitter… “I don’t understand what it is you do, you’re fired.”

    Claiming to be able to make massive cuts without cutting national defense, Social Security/Medicare, or loads of basic government stuff (like the U.S. Mint, patent office, passport services, etc.) is how you know this will never happen.

    Every conservative comes to Washington ready to cut whole departments and then learns the Department of Energy manages the nuclear weapons stockpile and the entire National Park system is a rounding error on a B-2 bomber order.

      Ah yes. But now the National Park System is squarely in the cross hairs of real estate and tourism developers. And we all know private ownership is far more efficient. They surely won’t do anything to mar the natural beauty of our land.

    Trump just doesn’t realize everyone hates the assholes he’s trying to trot out as a positive to his shitty campaign. They really need to stop letting him make his own decisions.

    Has Musk actually worked a day in his life? He obviously hasn’t been working for some years now, spending all of his time shitposting and propagandizing on Twitter instead of running the multiple companies he is somehow CEO of.

    Elon is a drug addict who is high on ketamine all day long and has never worked a day in his worthless life. No wonder he and Donnie get along.

    6 months ago I made a ridiculous joke about Trump giving Musk Texas.

    This is literally worse than I could possibly imagine.

    Maybe he’ll run the government to the ground like he’s doing to X.

    The type to vote Trump would probably get wet at the idea.

          I recently watched a small-time documentary by a YouTube person on life in the ruralest parts of Appalachia. Deep red places. He talked with multiple locals who estimated that something like 50% of them got by on “checks”, which is their euphemism for welfare when they’re the ones receiving it (mostly SSDI).

          It was sad but interesting.

            You don’t understand, they’re against the lazy ones getting welfare not the ones who are hard workers but haven’t been able to find work for ten years.

      MBFC claiming CNN is Left-Center, when it is owned by conservative billionaire John Malone. This is an example of MBFC’s intentional distortion of the political spectrum by falsely representing it as dominated by a left-wing bias.

      An example of CNN’s actual right-wing bias is when they put an obvious Trump Supporter on their recent panel of ‘undecided voters’. According to Parker Molloy from The New Republic, this isn’t “an isolated case of questionable representation in CNN’s voter panels. In fact, it appears to be part of a troubling pattern stretching back years.” She suggests it could be “a potential willingness to mislead viewers for the sake of compelling television.” - media ownership and their profit motive, and complicity of the media elite are sources of bias that MBFC does not adequately account for.
