Co-President Musk

[CO. Hoosier]

He's amassing power at warp speed.

And he didn't get a single vote. Or face confirmation hearings. Or make financial disclosures. And who's providing the oversight? Trump? Well, that's reassuring.

Only in [our new] America.

No splashy headline, but the last article above might be the most troubling.

You might be a Democrat if you are more concerned about the highly visible individual and his band in whizz kids who are trying to derail the government gravy train than you about the hundreds or maybe thousands of invisible unelected federal bureaucrats who built the tracks and operate the train.

I think most of us have room to be concerned with both.

From Aloha's article:

"Taken together, Musk’s moves represent an unprecedented effort to expand the power of the executive branch with little regard for laws or procedures – an effort Donald Trump foreshadowed during his successful 2024 campaign. Musk, the world’s richest man, has tens of billions of dollars in government contracts, and now, access to the innermost workings of the federal government."

Unelected, unvetted, no financial disclosure requirements, no confirmation hearings and vote, no oversight except, lol, Trump. Are you really okay with this, MAGA? Why?

He has multibillion dollar federal contracts?

MAGA is all for stocking the swamp, apparently. Deeper and slimy-er

TDS Mostly BS

 

[jrbjrb]

Let's start with an easy one, bailey. Members of unelected/unvetted/unconfirmed Musk's DOGE team have been able to access classified information, including intelligence reports, without the requisite security clearance. Aren't you troubled by that? If not, why not?

What is your source for that? probably the DNC

 

[jrbjrb]

My Reuters echo chamber? Yeah, that’s it.

What’s your point? Of course many people voted for this. My point is that “this” is unlike anything I’ve seen before in this country, and never thought I would.

But I understand you got your strongman (or, more accurately, strongmen) regime, and all is well in MAGA land.

Comes from someone who doesn't want to MAGA

 

[jrbjrb]

I presented facts. What did I accuse them of?

facts that's a good one keep them coming

 

[Joe_Hoopsier]

He is doing one heck of a job so far cutting bloated waste. And just think he is just getting started as we are only two weeks in!

You forgot causing EBS, Exploding Bowl Syndrome.

Ok, consider this a Memo team.
We really need to expand on this. This could make Foxworthy's gig seem micro small! Ready, set, GO !
