Summary
Elon Musk, a Republican megadonor and close Trump ally, is reportedly set to have office space in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building near the West Wing.
Musk is expected to head the “Department of Government Efficiency,” aiming to reduce federal spending under Trump.
Critics question Musk’s influence, noting his frequent presence at key Trump meetings and events.
This move, if confirmed, would grant Musk continued access to Trump post-inauguration, sparking debate about the billionaire’s role in the administration despite holding no official government position.
And willingly. I might be unfairly judging because I’m a non-American that has been watching this unfold from the outside. But this has been no master plan. There’s been no deception or trickery. These people have repeatedly and loudly told us all what they’re about. But Donald Trump could say “Hannibal Lector is a fine man” after half an hour of shuffling around onstage to golden oldies and his supporters were like “my hero! 😍”
Long before they were trying to ‘protect the kids’ from trans people, they were trying to ‘protect the kids’ from metal and punk and rap and calling everything satanic. But all along, we all knew that they were raging hypocrites that campaign for things like child marriage while claiming to actually give a shit about children.
The way I see it, not a single person over say 25 has the excuse of not knowing or not remembering. They don’t get to use the “we were tricked” line later on. In fact, no one with the ability to read does. Southern Republican states have a global reputation for being full of kiddie fiddling preachers and politicians, for being run like 3rd world countries and for being incestuous motherfuckers. This is known. And this is why I’m going to press X to doubt wherever anyone tries to tell me that they thought the price of eggs would improve.
Agree 100%
The biggest reason we (the USA) are losing to fascists is because half of Americans are fascists, whether they realize it or not. And it’s been that way for a hundred years (and they were proto fascists, aka Confederates, before that)
