    I was a big Tulsi fan around the time of these interviews. I'm pretty sure I wrote a message in this forum defending her. Where were you guys?

    My god Musk is an idiot. We go from justice is blind to justice needs an axe to grind. Judge Dredd was a dystopia, the judges with an axe to grind are the bad guys. Even his comic book analogies are moronic. They are a fascist police force, so I guess they are the heroes in Musk's mind.

    Brought to you by the same top minds who buy stickers of The Punisher logo with Trump's bird nest superimposed.

    Do you really believe this?
    He appointed a woman fighting for private for profit schools as the head of the department of education.
    An oil executive as head of EPA.
    The CEO of AccuWeather as the head of NOAA.
    And on and on.
    The corporate takeover of politics might be Trumps most consistent policy.

    I was talking about Gaetz not Trump although I am not too upset with his choices. I am not a huge fan of Rubio for SoS but I will see how it goes.

    No **** and I hold little stock in their report. He was also investigated by the DOJ who could not even charge him let alone convict him.

    LOL at the irony. I'm doing great financially. My interests are covered whoever is in office.
    My guess is you resemble the thousandaire in your comment that thinks somehow aligning yourself with billionaires will trickle down to you.
    I'll also guess that you have no idea how much discretionary spending is in the budget and the departments that take up the largest percentage of that spending.
    Here's a hint. Trump has promised to increase spending for the department that takes up the largest % of discretionary spending. I wonder why that is. It wouldn't be because that money is the easiest to funnel to corporate cronies. Keep dreaming that you'll be in the club someday.
    Here's another hint. Trump is cutting spending at other departments, because they interfere with the ability of his corporate buddies to make even more obscene profits. You'll not see a dime of that money.

    The people who make 700 dollars an hour have convinced the people who make 25 dollars an hour that the people who make 10 dollars an hour are the problem.

    Trump picks Dr. Oz to run Medicare, Medicaid office as CMS administrator

    https://nypost.com/2024/11/19/us-news/trump-picks-dr-oz-to-run-medicare-medicaid-office/

    excerpt:

    President-elect Donald Trump announced Tuesday he was picking Dr. Mehmet Oz to run the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

    Trump said in a statement that Oz, who unsuccessfully ran for the Senate two years ago, would work closely with Health and Human Services Secretary-designate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. “to take on the illness industrial complex, and all the horrible chronic diseases left in its wake.”

    He is a self identified "secular Muslim" with a Christian wife and he raised his children as Christian.

    I hear Mike Lindell could really use a job. Put him in charge of smothering Grandma with My Pillows when she can't afford her care.

    He certainly did his fair share of sucking up.
