Summary
Elon Musk, a Republican megadonor and close Trump ally, is reportedly set to have office space in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building near the West Wing.
Musk is expected to head the “Department of Government Efficiency,” aiming to reduce federal spending under Trump.
Critics question Musk’s influence, noting his frequent presence at key Trump meetings and events.
This move, if confirmed, would grant Musk continued access to Trump post-inauguration, sparking debate about the billionaire’s role in the administration despite holding no official government position.
Oligarchy.
We’re no better than Russia.
By design.
We lost the cold war folks.
Gulag for you, comrade.
Maybe the US needs more political prisoners so we can be up to par from the minority parties. The hatred is almost there amongst the loyalists to the billionaire elite. Just check out a fox news comments section, they’d love to shoot some democrats up. They don’t even consider them human anymore.
I can’t believe how mass media is turning people into monsters who cheer for the death of hard working working class families while the billionaires get bigger and bigger handouts from tax dollars.
The Cold War is still going on, the goal is to destroy America from the inside because a frontal assault is impossible.
Yep. I saying we’ve lost.
Not that it isn’t ongoing, we’ve just been position with our pants down, wrists chained to our ankles, bent over a barrel.
Well, that’s how Americans like to take it. Bent over and told everything is fine.
yeah but every four years we vote with or without lube. Looks like everyone got sick of lube this go round and wanted something rougher.
Never heard it said better
Hah! Love it.
2A time
Bringing guns to a drone fight, I see. Brilliant.
Wonder how duck guns do against drones?
There are 10ga shotguns designed to shoot high brass loads to lead and take down fast moving waterfowl. Market hunters back in the day also had what were basically shot cannons they used.
They’d have to be close in from the Ukrainian footage I’ve seen. Some of the drones could have been taken down by shotgun with a good shot.
Higher drones would require flack, I guess.
According to some Russian, all you need is a spear. They even commemorated it.
I’ve seen that video! That shit was fantastic.
Lmao that has to be Pennsic.
Somewhere in Russia is all I’m managing to find

Eh, to have a constitutional convention, think we need things to collapse first :\ unfortunately. The powers that be are too entrenched.
Edit: does that make me an accelerationist? Absolutely yes lol
You think billionaires and their private armies and vast disinformation networks won’t come up with even more control from a constitutional convention or violent revolution? Fucking delusional.
Ok. So you aren’t someone that wants change. Got it. Fucking conservative LMAO. That’s why Trump won. Even if I disagree with a lot of the proposed changes, I think having things shaken up is better than letting the sludge just flow. Dibshit. If it takes increased pressure to burst the pipes so be it
The cold war was against the Soviets. We’re losing to fascists.
Which is much worse (imo)
The Soviets lost to fascists first. Now we’re falling to the Soviet fascists.
And willingly. I might be unfairly judging because I’m a non-American that has been watching this unfold from the outside. But this has been no master plan. There’s been no deception or trickery. These people have repeatedly and loudly told us all what they’re about. But Donald Trump could say “Hannibal Lector is a fine man” after half an hour of shuffling around onstage to golden oldies and his supporters were like “my hero! 😍”
Long before they were trying to ‘protect the kids’ from trans people, they were trying to ‘protect the kids’ from metal and punk and rap and calling everything satanic. But all along, we all knew that they were raging hypocrites that campaign for things like child marriage while claiming to actually give a shit about children.
The way I see it, not a single person over say 25 has the excuse of not knowing or not remembering. They don’t get to use the “we were tricked” line later on. In fact, no one with the ability to read does. Southern Republican states have a global reputation for being full of kiddie fiddling preachers and politicians, for being run like 3rd world countries and for being incestuous motherfuckers. This is known. And this is why I’m going to press X to doubt wherever anyone tries to tell me that they thought the price of eggs would improve.
Agree 100%
The biggest reason we (the USA) are losing to fascists is because half of Americans are fascists, whether they realize it or not. And it’s been that way for a hundred years (and they were proto fascists, aka Confederates, before that)
