    Trump sold himself to musk and adelson. He's still not as bad as braindead biden but is getting himself there.

    The least a lot of the pro trump folks should do is call out the hypocrisy. I've defended trump more than once, and have no problem doing so.

    I wish more posters were willing to acknowledge hypocrisy on both sides. I could be better at it too.

    Leftists don't have this problem :D

    In fact many in the liberal DNC consultant class blame leftists for being too harsh on Biden costing the election.

    it was widely reported that this claim about $50 million in condoms going to gaza was a lie. how do you NOT know this?

    he knows because it was widely reported.

    you are aware that the $50 million in condoms to gaza thing was a lie, correct?

    for someone who couldnt be bothered to participate in our democracy you sure do spend a lot of time on here arguing about politics and spreading disinfo.

    This is true, but the problem is in equivalancy, the RIGHT is far far worse.....while the LEFT has some hypocrisy, and should be called out the right is just flat out lying.

    It is like saying stealing a pack of gum and murder are the same because they are both against the law.

    It is far different.

    Called out for lying? I didn't lie about anything. I don't care what you guys think or make up about me. It's hilarious you attack me but leave guys like @astros123 and @DaDakota alone who lie about everything. It's ok because they're on your side You're a hypocrite. You can have the last word. I'm not going to waste anymore time with you. Pointless conversation

    I want @GOATuve to have access free healthcare at the point of service.

    We want racist white people to have civil liberties and not be exploited by capital interests also.

    I don't support Trump. I can't stand him. I didn't vote in this election because both Trump and Harris are garbage. I don't know how many times I have to say that

    Amen, I have lived in the UK, and experienced how much BETTER their healthcare system is, and CHEAPER too...the Average American would save $2000 a year in Healthcare with Universal healthcare.

    It is mind numbing that people are dug in so deep without a proper education or understanding of how things work, they just fall for the Hitler playbook......and it is dangerous....

    There is so much that has to change to get our country back.

    1. Social media needs to be regulated and held accountable for telling the truth, and fact checking
    2. News programs need to label opinion and also held accountable for lying.
    3. Repeal citizens United, companies do not have the same rights as people.
    4. Remove all Lobbying for $$$ - any taking of money for favors is bribery and a criminal offense.
    5. No more Insider trading allowed, Congress follows same rules as everyone else.
    6. Term limits for Congress, Senate and Supreme court

    And that is just getting started.

    ...and you never call out the right wing trolls like @tallanvor @Commodore or @CrixusTheUndefeatedGaul so Ray Charles blind and dead could see you're the actual hypocrite here.

    It's quite telling how liberals are so opposed to transparency in government spending and an audit of the government. Their decades-long corruption and waste is being exposed. Democrats are choosing to attack the auditor (Musk/DOGE) instead of doing what's best for the country and cutting back on waste, fraud, and abuse.

    Cutting government spending is a KEY PART of balancing the budget and ultimately shrinking the debt. It's what's best for the country. Yet Dems are mad because their honey hole just got raided. Typical selfish behavior from the party of waste and corruption - the Democrats.

    Also, Trump's favorables keep rising.. especially amongst the under 30 crowd. They see past the government-funded (USAID) media's lies.

    GOOD DAY

    True transparency would be GOP politicians who have control of both chambers doing this auditing themselves through congressional hearings rather than the world's wealthiest man who has been fined and combative with these regulatory agencies for years telling you at face value that they are "cutting costs". That's like asking a wolf about recommendations to strengthen security of a sheep pen.

    You trust the words of the wealthiest man on the planet to tell you that he's working for you at face value. That's how pathetic you are as a human. That is sad.


    The real issue that the billionaire class has with "government efficiency" is that they don't just flat out own all the tax money themselves. That's it. It's not about saving costs. You'd eliminate the private public contract outsourcing dynamic that is rampant in our federal government that gives contracts to private entities where the goal is to maximize return on investment of the shareholder rather than performing a public good if you sincerely cared about "cutting costs". That's how you get private companies charging 1000 dollars for a clutch disc replacement on DOD vehicles that cost 90 dollars to manufacture.

    What Trump, Elon and friends want to do is maximize that state by privatizing every aspect of the administrative state. USAID for example is a toolkit used by the federal government to expand and maintain US hegemony. People like Trump actually want that influence globally. So cutting cost isn't the goal here. He just wants to replace it with private contracts to entities like Palantir where they will charge inflated costs so people like Peter Theil owns more public tax money to bolster their wealth. That is the goal of this.

    Privatize everything so capital owners own our collection of tax money.
