Let's talk about Elon Musk

[Justwin]

It didn't take long to start unraveling the grift . . . That's why there's so much  from #blueanon. Unfortunately they probably won't get to the DOD or be able to target things like Ukraine. I would fully expect that it's a rabbit hole for the ages . . .

It’s preposterous that they didn’t start with the DOD. Both the DOD and Ukraine should be prioritized way ahead of the couch coins that they’re going after right now.

To me, this implies that the current cutbacks are merely for political effect.

I want to see real action, not just owning the libs.

They are wasting Elon and the doge’s resources by focusing on this crap right now they should be using all available horsepower to analyze the DOD and identify opportunities to cancel contracts and find new vendors who can do it at a fraction of the price. That sort of focus would save exponentially more money than the current app approach.

They're not wasting Musk's resources because this is what Musk wants to focus on.  His goal is to wage his culture war, he doesn't give a crap about the budget.

I absolutely acknowledge that he’s quite amused by the current approach, but I do think he and most of the tech oligarchs want to avoid the national financial distress associated with deficit interest payments exceeding tax revenue.

My HOPE is that the department of defense is a source for much if not most of that savings. Maga boomers and Maga, Gen X should temper some of the entitlements targeting but millennials and Gen Z are undoubtedly mumped.

So I guess I'll ask a third time. Where are you seeing net interest payments are going to exceed tax revenue?

The CBO long-term estimate for 2054 is that net interest payments would be about 1/3 of revenue.

What is the assumed interest rate in that?

Their assumption for 10-year Treasury notes in 2054 is 4.4% and on all debt held by the public they assume a 3.8% in interest rate in 2054.

I have long suspected that the big 2.5 are interested in dividing the world into America/China/Russia segments.

You are correct, and I failed to understand that the projections and predictors I was depending upon were making doom assumptions about implication of BOTH interest rates and debt levels combined.  That’s not to say that they are completely wrong, it’s more about the actual level of risk of their doom scenarios being realized.  I still favor eliminating deficit spending tho.

Not a soul has argued the gig was not a uniparty endeavor.

Remember the anti-Trump neocons were welcomed by #blueanon with open arms.

Why don’t you ever get that? LMAO

I was agreeing with you, FWIW.

What the eff is this attempting to convey? Are these numbers supposed to foot? What do the lines mean? Consortium for Elections paid itself.. something? This is a Charlie Kelly level graphic that looks impressive but explains nothing at all.

They launder money through aggregators - and between NGO's.

This really isn't very hard to understand.

NED for example is absolutely a cutout for the DOD/CIA

NDI is essentially a way to launder money for sweet vacations and trips to top shelf/Wagyu suckling symposiums and conferences.  It's board is a whose-who of the #blueanon grift state.

The Chemonics rabbit hole is substantial, this is just a small part.

They also had a massive data breach.

“USAID has refused to learn, and they are throwing $17 billion of taxpayer money after a failed business model,” said Adeyi.

LOL. The amount of people taking that $2 is really really high though.  You know....morons.

The rich are about to get supercharged rich. I predict a trillionaire will be minted during this term.

You're very upset all of this Lick.

Why? Why is #blueanon fighting government transparency so hard? 

You're in massive deflection mode and frankly, it's very

Jamie Raskin wants to file a class action lawsuit 

The same Jamie Raskin whose wife is a bigger DC grifter than he is?  Parlaying her positions at the FR and Treasury to sit on an advisory board of the only trust at the time granted a master account by the FR. A position that granted her an equity stake that she then sold for a nice tidy little profit.  They also failed to report said transaction for 8 months.

Raskin also likes to attend events revolving around "reunification" in China . . . hosted by entities controlled by the CCP.

Why does #blueanon continue to allow these types of people to hold power?  We've got Schiff out on the circuit making completely unsubstantiated and unbacked claims (as he always does) about Gabbard.  He never backs up a thing with any evidence.
