WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK??????????

Post by BoSoxGal »

Is everybody else mind blown over what is happening every fucking day since this puke got re-elected????

Is this place so quiet because you, like me, are walking around in a state of shell shock?


Here's the skinny on what happened - voter suppression, of course: https://www.gregpalast.com/trump-lost-v ... ssion-won/



I can't even begin to freak out because there is so much to freak out about. I guess that's the point, to dump so much on us that we just crawl into our shells and give up.

First thing this morning I called and emailed my Representative and Senators (all Ds) and told them GET MUSK OUT OF GOVT OFFICES and that at an absolute minimum they should block every Trump nomination, thwart every initiative and bring all non-essential Congressional business to a halt until Musk is removed and investigations are launched into who got access to what government databases and how much was compromised.
GAH!

Thanks for that link to Greg Palast's story on voter suppression in 2024. I don't always believe everything Palast writers but he's pretty good; and on first reading his allegations at that link, they make sense.

Isn't Musk one of those unelected bureaucrats we were taught to fear?

Musk posts on X:
USAID is a criminal organization.

Time for it to die.
I hope every person who works at USAID sues the fucker for libel. He accuses them, without evidence, of working for a criminal organization. USAID has 10,000 employees. He could give them $1,000,000 each and he would be down to his last $390 billion.

AND in the past sixteen days since taking office, he's spent four of those days playing golf at a Trump golf property.   The shithead is picking right up where he left off.

Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?

This is a good piece by former UK PM Gordon Brown about the ramifications of eviscerating USAID.
