.Looks like radical dems have a handful of paid "protestors" left, and a comment about the above picture, Valerie Jarrett, Obama's left hand radical woman, was not elected either.

They(dems) are desperate.

For Democrats, Musk has become both an ideal boogeyman and the face of billionaire influence in the Trump administration.

Why do I think this is as designed by Trump and his staff?

[Opinionated Blowhard]

The Dem message is Chuck Schumer and Maxine Waters trying to lead about a dozen protestors in a pathetic “We’re gonna win” chant as CNN takes close-up shots to not show how small the crowd is.

So there you have it. They are taking the position that since Elon Musk was not elected to any office, he is not supposed to be able to investigate the financial situation of the government.

The fact that he is doing so, on behalf of a president who was duly elected, is ignored , as they complain that he is not an elected official.

[dfwgator]

It’s all they’ve got, it’s a Hail Mary pass.

[Sarah Barracuda]

and they really think this is the hill to die on, to go after Musk for weening out CORRUPTION and FRAUD, LOL LOL This is the Dem message “Dont touch our slush fund its how we make our moolah” I guess now we know how these congress members were able to afford million dollar homes on their salary

[Billthedrill]

The Dems, especially the Dem media, are stuck in the “we gotta find an angle” phase of the OODA loop. They’re looking for a lie while Trump is eating their lunch. May they never catch up.

My Translation: "We bitter sore-loser Democrats will continuously oppose literally everything President Trump (and Musk) does for the next 4 years. FU, America. Signed, Democrats"

Rumor has it that Musk bought 5 30 second spots for ads during super bowl revealing the amount being wasted. I’ll need to see the replays.

We’ll see if they’re so stupid as to try to rescue USAID. The “narrative” on that agency is absolutely fatal. We’ll see if this is another 80/20 issue the rats want to get on the wrong side of

[Dilbert San Diego]

Sometimes members of Congress say they are grappling with financial problems. Even though they earn about $180,000 a year, they talk about how it doesn’t go very far. Because Washington is expensive, and many also have a home back in their home state.

I remember Ocasio-Cortez complained when she was first elected,, that she had not yet received a congressional paycheck, and how hard it was to scrape up money to rent an apartment in Washington.

So somehow many become millionaires, when they also say they just are not able to save a lot of money on their congressional salaries.

Democrats' response to getting their aairses whooped in the 2024 Election: "We'll continue stubbornly doing exactly what we've always done, only now we're amping it up a thousand times. At some point, our extreme far-left approach has to eventually work!"

[Secret Agent Man]

Its true, Musk wasn’t a candidate.

But he’s appointed by the guy who was elected.

Really, really bad argument. Just one level up from them cryiing and screaming NOOOOO

[absalom01]

If Musk did not exist, he would have to be invented.

The 'Rats are in KAOS:

That would be awesome. Embarrass the crap out of the corrupt Democrats (and equally corrupt RINOs)!

[RckyRaCoCo]

Nobody elected Soros et al

[Signalman]

Sign says “Nobody Elected Musk”.

Boy these people are dumb. Nobody elected any of Biden’s Cabinet heads either. Because they, like Musk, were “appointed” not “elected” and are responsible to the President who, in turn, is responsible to “the people”.

[webheart]

A Hail Mary pass would be if they had good field position to get a man downfield and protect their quarterback long enough to make the throw. I don’t think they have any of that. It’s a desperate rush play on fourth and 15 yards.
