““Rub shoulders” could = “negotiate”

Exactly. Emphasis on Negotiate. Does it ever stop? Rumor has it once you are in you can never get out.

But don’t get me wrong here. On it’s face Trump tries like hell to do what he promises. As long as he sticks to that I love the guy, he was our last chance to break the continuity of our enslavement. I just try to not see him sitting around a board room table with mobsters. I am perfectly fine with letting that be his past as long as he is producing well for us out front. :)

My worry at this point is with those around him he has to rely on to get it done. I’m not sure they can be truly trusted to have Trump’s and our best interests at heart.

“My worry at this point is with those around him .... I’m not sure they can be truly trusted to have Trump’s and our best interests at heart.”

For example, Boris Epshteyn.

Now I have to defend Trump about Operation Warp Speed. He was “advised” into that ordeal. His initial personal thoughts of ignoring it like we did the Swine Flu was correct. Then he was advised different and trusted it for some reason. And I still do not know why he doesn’t understand he was duped in that ordeal by someone he trusted he should not have trusted. That has been one of his fallacies, trusting too much and giving too much benefit of the doubt. Just like we are here right now with Musk...

I trust Trump. I think and feel that at his core he is a good person and cares about doing what is right for the people and the country rather than personal glory or power.

I don’t always trust his judgement. Especially when selecting attorneys!

Please remember Ben’s relationship with women. Many of them in several countries.

I wish most people were as astute as you are. As an aspie it’s been disheartening throughout my life when people have either tried to take advantage of me or attributed manipulation and deceit when there was none. Many of us are misunderstood all of our lives and it causes some to withdraw from society.

“Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.”

There are many variables in cigars. Come are Cuban, Columbian Jamaican, or USA tobacco. The variables are so great that many of them don’t even appear to be a cigar.

I had a client that owned a cigar factory in Columbia. He gave me a very large sample box, including many different Cuban varieties. I gave them all to friends as I don’t smoke, and each one raved about a different cigar.

Kind of like saying that all women are just women! I’m not going there.

I’m usually willing to forget about politics when it comes to seeking favor. ;-)

I wasn’t convinced about Elon at first. I thought he was the greatest con man in history. But, I did some research. I read his history. I listened to him speak in several long form podcast. I continued watching the development of his projects.

Today ? I have no doubt he is “the genius” of our time. He is re-teaching the world what it takes to make progress: hard work. And at the same time, showing us that success is worth it. It’s FUN!

OF COURSE! But he needs to find a some way to walk back his “success” and still save face. Maybe RFK has made him see the the light.

Oh, yeah; he was super perv, especially in France.

And Elon is no slouch, fathering kids with many women.

The real value of X is that it is a place where people can learn that the information they've been fed by the corporate media is a deception. And it is a place that is accessed by billions of people.

At Free Republic, we've been aware of this sinister propaganda effort for decades, but it is not widely known. Musk took one of the most popular sites for misinformation and turned it into a beacon of truth.

I think that you misunderstood that I was not talking about Trump. I was talking about MUSK. He is NOT our leader. He is groupie. A VERY influential groupie.

I can argue that that all the Musk critics are paid, deep state trolls. I could also easily comb thru their posts to find deep state predilections. Then I can issue a statement that all FReepers should be wary of them.

Like many of you, I'm stopping short of hero worship at this time; but Musk is certainly saying all the right things now. We shall see. Meantime, I'm grateful for his contributions. The impact has been enormous; and so far, mostly quite positive.
