“Please seek Help”

Prove me wrong.

[dforest]

Instead that Pieces OS Congress is shuttling more money off to the criminals in Ukraine.

We can’t fix this country doing things like this.

Congress is not for the American people.

Talk about a thankless endeavor. I would be thoroughly embittered. In fact, his closing statement is grim:

So, I don't know, we're just going to turn into a, you know, communist hellhole, basically.

[Delta 21]

I figured that the smartest guy in the Universe would have realized that.

The DOGE Dance

USAID, Department of Ed, did you hear what Elon said?
Members of the Pentagon, your reckless spending days are gone.
FAA, NIH, time to end your overreach.
Treasury, CFPB, Elizabeth Warren weeps for thee.
You’re out of style. Out of loot. Donald Trump don’t give a hoot.
Robert, Pam, Peter, too,
Little Marco, we love you.
Patriots with an attitude,
Voters who are in the mood.
Don’t just stand there, let’s get to it.
Time for DOGE, there’s nothing to it.

[SMARTY]

Probably the basis of most anti Trump rancor

[woodbutcher1963]

We have not passed an annual Federal budget since 1997.

They just keep spending and passing CRs.

So, what is to stop them?

[Cold Heart]

Read last paragraph of the excerpt.

[Savage Beast]

In 2016, when President-elect Trump announced, "The party's over; I'm going to clean up Washington," the Corrupt Establishment saw this as a declaration of war against it.

Its lash-out was definitely big-time, including three assassination attempts that we know of.

Musk is right. If you attack corruption and corrupt politicians, they will lash out big time!

We've seen it in action!

[1Old Pro]

So, what is to stop them?

Only themselves, and they have failed us miserably.
