Let's talk about Elon Musk

[Stupid Fitz]

Guys, I for one am shocked that charts from "DataRepublican" who's bio touts retweets from Elon and Charlie Kirk might be a bit misleading.

[sonofdaxjones]

I'm shocked that #blueanon is super embarrassed, scrambling hard and calling everything they don't like misinformation/disinformation.

We've just never seen that before . . . provided you've only been alive for a minute and thirty seven seconds.

the fact that dax thinks this is some king of gotcha is dorbs

It's no gotcha . . . the fact that we have funds flowing out like this just affirms that it needs to be reigned in substantially.

The pants sharting by #blueanon over all of this only affirms that it's nothing but a massive money laundering operation.

Why does an entity operating under the umbrella of a G7 economy and government need charity from the United States?

Insert video of AfricCom commander in Congressional chambers by and large admitting that we're coup'ing the eff out of African countries here .  . .

[michigancat]

honestly most of the USAid stuff being "revealed" sounds like better investments for national security than like, a missile

[sonofdaxjones]

So how does overthrowing governements and creating multi year/decades long civil wars help US National Security, cRusty?

I know #neocongE isn't very smart, but a lot of radicalized people know who is behind most of this stuff, they're not stupid.

I'm just glad dax and I agree that one person who should not be able to access the treasury payment system is elon musk. On its face it's an obvious common ground issue and I'm glad dax has confirmed that

[sonofdaxjones]

I am just glad that mocat is out there fighting hard for all the #blueanon grifters and unaccountable wonks cutting checks and filtering them through non-profits, NGO's and dubious charities (among many many things)

[wELLsculptedbrows]

Any #blueanon/#blueanongE talking about "misinformation" at this point in history needs to be  at with zeal and verve

You were part of the 4 largest disinformation/misinformation campaigns in US political history

... the 4 biggest disinformation campaigns in modern US political history:

1. Trump-Russia COLUSION
2. Hunters laptop was a Russian intelligence operation
3. The border is secure
4. The sock puppet former president was of sound mind

I sincerely appreciate you giving us your (modern) political disinformation/misinformation campaign power rankings, but I still don't get why there are four. 

Was there a bracket or something? Surely you have a fifth.

[sonofdaxjones]

I think a good 5th would be: USAID and NED are benevolent charity supporters who want to spread Democracy across the world via non violent/benign means . . . never mind that they funnel money to people that once upon a time #blueanon wanted tried for war crimes (one example).

[wELLsculptedbrows]

Oh, good one.

I just figured you're were letting WMDs cross the aisle.

[cfbandyman]

The amount of more desperate tesla selling emails tells me things are going well.

[sonofdaxjones]

Oh, good one.

I just figured you're were letting WMDs cross the aisle.

That certainly ranks up there, but the difference is that Iraq at one time actually had WMD's and used them, and Saddam's regime had been purposefully evasive on the topic . . . likely because they viewed that as a possible hedge against regime change.  But it all gets watered down dramatically with the bi-partisan support of the war.

What is a good candidate for Top 4 - is the attempt to tie Saddam's regime to AQ.

[mocat]

i am being completely serious: does anyone have the power to stop elon musk from tampering with united states treasury payments?

[sonofdaxjones]

mo . . . is this an instance when the whirlwind has been unleashed and #blueanon doesn't know what hit it?

[bucket]

mo . . . is this an instance when the whirlwind has been unleashed and #blueanon doesn't know what hit it?

I agree

[sonofdaxjones]

Yesterday looked like a bank run at USAID offices . . . maybe because it was??   

[Stupid Fitz]

I think he might be "stopped" at some point, but it's probably too late already. Now even if he is stopped, the cult will blame Obama for stopping it because The deep state or something made up is hiding something.

Also, I know reading the above made your pants move, but Dax, I'm cool with this crap being audited. Some sort of audit or review should have been done a long time ago. I just personally would prefer it be done through congress. Preferably maybe a bipartisan committee appointed by congress and with any contractors used being vetted and given appropriate clearance. I'm not on board with Elon and his unvetted minions getting access to anything they want via a giant crayon signed document that people slid in front of grandpa to sign during big boy camera time. You and the rest of the cult would have been losing your freaking minds if anything like what is happening now was going on in the previous administration.

[mocat]

It's actually unfathomable to me

[CNS]

It doesn’t matter. He knows it. Absolute worst case scenario his whole crew gets pardons.

[wetwillie]

I suppose Republican Congress members have the ability to stop him

[BIG APPLE CAT]

I have to give credit where it’s due, I figured in this quest to remove all the guardrails they were going to trip on their dicks at some point but god damn if they aren’t speed running this thang

yeah, I didn't think we would get a quote from a republican saying "sure its unconstitutional, but whatevs". I knew crap was going to hit the fan, but I kinda figured the constitution was still a backstop.

[wetwillie]

What does the constitution say about access to the treasury payment system exactly?

messing with funds that have been allocated by congress is a pretty big one
