Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)

Maybe just maybe the progressives will break away from the Democrats and form their own party.  They want to roast Chuck Shumer anyway.  They should find their own identity already.  Go back just 20 years and the Democrats were nowhere near as progressive as of this state of shit show now.  The same could be said about the republican party and let the conservative break away, but that would never happen with the right.  They need all the votes they can get

4 parties is how the shit show is in reality, why not drive fast and take chances.  Own it

Maybe the Democrat progressives can break away from the Democrat party and bring back the Whig party...where all the members would be tyrannies wearing wigs...........I could see this happening ...

I wondered this when Trump got hosed in 2020 and no one went to bat for him.  Is it possible in this modern day era to see a party vanish vs. vanquish.

As it turns our the 2020 hose job was the worst possible for them cause we got both Trump and Slim back with a vengeance

Elon Musk visited the Pentagon on Friday..., a senior defense official told reporters the department was looking to cut between 50,000 to 60,000 civilian jobs—roughly 5% to 8% of the Pentagon’s civilian workforce—through voluntary means.

More Doge cost cutting...

Slim, do you agree there is a new derangement syndrome now with MUSK?

It may be on par with the TDS we know of.  MDS....Musk Derangement Syndrome

@soup-can

Oh there sure is ..and it seems to be more infectious..and it makes people insanely violent..

For example read some of the latest comments in my other DOGE thread ,,,in the Politics Forum..people like that one member is enraged ...of course they obviously were a little off center to begin with..

This is reaaaly great ...

Legal community shaken by a powerful law firm's decision to give in to President Trumps demands..

— On Thursday, the powerful law firm Paul Weiss caved.

It agreed to give Donald Trump’s administration $40 million in free legal work for causes the President supports and, according to a social media post from President Trump, get rid of any internal diversity, equity and inclusion policies..

People better start listening up...or it's going to hurt....

@soup-can

Of course.  We predicted this very thing.  
The issue we talked about was that Trump is done and cannot run again.  
So we predicted they would turn their ire toward Musk and Ramaswamy and Vance.  
Ramaswamy has moved on.  
But Musk has their full attention now.  Vance will get more and more of it if he seems to be the next heir apparent candidate.  

the problem with these crazies and Musk is Musk can't have a secret service protection like JDV can have.  Unless Trump forces it, Musk is just an everyday citizen with no protection for himself or his family. 

As every day goes by, I feel like Rubio would be the better replacement for the next term.  It's still early but Marco has been a champion so far IMHO

Spock, how did you get out in the early release program?  We need you back in here dishing out the food to all of us in shackles

It reminds me of the "I need a detox" days. His threads with 100's of posts sent to the PB just because his name was attached it appeared.

HUD Secretary Scott Turner announced he partnered up with DHS Chief Kristi Noem to end taxpayer-funded housing for illegal aliens.

This partnership will facilitate data sharing and ensure taxpayer-funded housing programs are not used to harbor or benefit illegal aliens,...

Stand by for the inevitable lawsuits by blue state AGs...and blocks by Liberal judges..

@soup-can

Elon Musk is the richest person in the World ,,, with Net Worth:$432 billion..  he can afford to have protection for himself and his family and all his relatives and their next door neighbors and their friends..He doesn't need the Governments SS protection..it would be inferior.

Yeah Elon is still the richest guy but isn’t it kind of funny he has lost somewhere in the region of 60-100 billions in Net worth this year alone (while working for Trump) if he continues at this rate he will be bankrupt before summer next year - I don’t know - I just found that funny and it put things into perspective 

@SarasotaSlim

 very true that the private sector that the billionaires hire are leaps and bounds over the secret service.  

what the post 563 shows is exactly what is wrong with out of touch people in the world.  Not just here in the US and I still doubt this poster is even from the EU like stated.  They are just another burner account that just wants to trash post.  Who laughs at someone who net worth drops say 100 billion?  I worded that a certain way because Elon didn't lose 60 billion cash.  It's all just fake stock monopoly money that will recover in a few years time.  With the way space X is going maybe sooner.  Tesla will recover soon also, all that is bad press and groups of lunatics who think they can turn tesla dealerships into Minneapolis during 2020.  Chuck needs to step aside and let Bernie and AOC and all the other Wacado's burn the party to the ground.  He is on the titanic after hitting the iceberg and its about to split in half  

I don’t know if funny is the right word granted but it is ironic (maybe that is better) that we potentially have a situation where you can go from being the world richest person by a long shot btw to bankrupt within less than 2 years - btw it isn’t like those money disappear into thin air (most of them probably leaves US but who really cares about that) - so if your question is if I think you are a better humanbeing for wanting 400.000 people having a million each - rather than 1 guy having 400 billions - Yes I would prefer that scenario (doesn’t hurt said idiot is Elon)

You should be more upset these two idiots play monopoly with the stock market basically jeopardising every single pension over there - your markets have screamed multiple times for them to stop (through its erratic pricing) and they just keep going - cause they don’t care

Ohh and btw your dollar isn’t backed by anything (many think it is by gold but it isn’t) there are movements around the world of trying to replace the dollar as the world currency after all this shit show that is happening over there - do you know what that means ? If that happens your currency will experience hyperinflation and within a few years (maybe only months) your dollars won’t be worth more than the paper they are printed on

@soup-can...................

There's a foreign terrorist in the house !!!

I don’t have to try destroy you guys - your government is already doing that (and I won’t have any pleasure in being able to say “I told you so” after) - I would rather be wrong and you survived as a nation - but if they continue at this rate you won’t - and the only people that will laugh at the end - sits in Beijing and Moscow

I am not jealous of any immigrant who come here and prospers.  Elon almost bankrupted himself with the space X, if one more rocket fail that was it.  But it worked and the rest is history.  You can hate on businessmen (or women) who use their leverage of existing companies to start new ventures, but that is the building blocks of becoming a billionaire.  It's not luck these people are so wealthy, they weren't all born with a silver spoon like Ricky Schroder.  

the people who usually hate on the wealthy are mostly the poor struggling people.  Name one thing that Elon did to hurt any of you on a personal level.  Not talking about siding with Trump either, that is your hurt ego.  name something Tesla did to keep yourself from earning wealth.  Space X is helping children want to be astronauts.  How is this a bad thing?  All this hate with zero reasoning

@soup-can

     Really good a stuff soup....really good  !!!

By the way soup did you just hear a bath tub fart bubble POP ?

@SarasotaSlim

 clean up on aisle four, someone defecated on the floor again 

Tell me why one guy needs 400 billion dollars - then I will consider going down on your level and discuss this further - I will actually double down on that - tell me why you need even more than 10 billion

Well it is going great over here economically since most of the dollars they lose we earn (together with China) - and boy oh boy are the losing dollars fast man - so I don’t mind more than I already have stated - so if you are fine with them destroying your country don’t mind me 

do I think someone with 400 Billion should send out a thank you card with a few benji's....absolutely but the world doesn't work that way.  This is just a guess but I bet Warren Buffett is a closet hermit hoarder.  He probably has stacks of the wallstreet news from the 80's so he can track his next big move.  

thanks for 'coming down to my level' 

please enlighten us on your knowledge
