I applaud him for having a tougher border policy, and I am not against the idea of trying to streamline government, but doing it right would require a scalpel, not a chain saw.


Translation: You are in favor of all the waste and just want a few meaningless cuts. You do not cut a giant tree with a scalpel.

That mugshot got him something Joe Biden will never have. A second term. It did the exact opposite of what it was supposed to do. Which is what happens with most of the things that Democrats plan.

I'd let Leticia James and Alvin Bragg only do 10 years, if they turn in someone big.

No less than 20 years otherwise.

Elon Musk is as unqualified to give Trump advice on government and what to shut down as much as He is unqualified to do dentistry on SOOPOO'S TEETH. (SOOPOO'S wife being a dentist)

I'm sure Musk could drill holes in the mouth though and leave a lot of problems.

I say that I vote Libertarian and suggest that others do so also.

I am not a Libertarian, per se: I simply think their notions of personal freedom are fairly sound, but I disagree with a lot of what they recommend.

Fact is, I believe in very little, i.e. very little that is touted by a particular political party: I am an independent.

Musk paid a quarter of a billion to Trump for a seat at the table, for a chance to exercise power...and what has he gotten out of it so far?

Him aligning politically with Herr Diktator and turning X into a conservative oracle has ended the love the liberals once felt for he and Tesla: Tesla sales are lower than last year, "the bloom is off the rose" and Tesla stock has completely cratered, costing him..what..a hundred billion or so?

Things look even darker for Tesla given the orange oaf's decision (which I agree with, BTW) not to require all EV's by 2035 and to not fund a network of nationwide charging stations; yes, Donny is right on with "Drill, baby, drill."

Maybe Elon willl make a few bucks with rockets: he's good at that.

I think you are not supposed to do it that way. But I LOVE the point EB is making here!

As far as Musk not being qualified to root out the gobs of government waste he already has rooted out…..


I think he’s about as qualified for such a position as you can be. He didn’t build a company making a few cars into a trillion dollar powerhouse by tolerating what the Democrat Party brings to the table.

As with any HUGE sea change, of course I won’t agree with everything he does. But at least SOMEONE IS TRYING.

NO one is denying the $59 MILLION in FEMA funds used to house illegals in NYC hotels. I’m still waiting for someone to explain to me that FEMA funds were meant for illegal alien housing.

If anything Elon Musk is overqualified. Not only is he an extremely successful businessman most people don't know that he has a degree in economics from the Wharton School which is one of the most prestigious universities in the United states. If he's not qualified to do this then who in the hell would be.

This is because blue states need the federal money from red taxpayers to balance their budgets.

Pretty funny stuff. :)

Classic redistribution of assets from red to blue.


For crazy stuff that's not required to live.

Let them learn the hard way to save and work, etc.


Eventually the blues will have to raise their taxes and the reds can lower their taxes.

It can cause a shift in quality of life.


Let them clean out their own sewers.

"I think [Musk is] also harming the American public in an enormous way," Garcia said. "And what I think is really important and what the American public want is for us to bring actual weapons to this bar fight. This is an actual fight for democracy, for the future of this country."


Where are all the liberals who screamed about "Jan 6" and will they come out against one of their own calling for an insurrection?
