Somebody needs to tell Elon we're not a democracy.

Also, how does someone making a couple hundred thousand per year become millionaires over time? Where are they acquiring their wealth?


Where have I heard that before, hmmm? We’ve been asking that for years over here, hopefully he gets it into the mainstream. A simple question

I'm sure our founders didn't envision our treasury, directed by lifelong bureaucrats, paying billions to support terrorists hell bent on our demise. But what do the rest of us know SFP?

Nice deflection, but I'm certain you're surely aware of the difference between "democracy" and "a democracy" depending upon context.

What does that have to do with my comment?

That we're not a democracy, but we're also not intended to be the bastardized republic that we are now. The bloated bureaucracy must be deflated.

Sticking by my assessment of Musk that he’s a below-the-curve Rumble poster.

I’ll just copy/paste my post from the Soros thread:

“He can barely get the words out (Soros speaking at Davos), but what he’s trying to say is that democracy is a mistake and dangerous.

Some of these major think tanks have been signaling this for a while ( Brookings Institution - is democracy in decline?). Spoiler alert for the uninformed, the whole government has not believed in democracy since at least 1933, but they developed ways in which to control it in an acceptable manner while having rule by experts in the bureaucracy.

Some of our guys, like JD Vance, have admitted to being influenced by right wing reactionaries like Curtis Yarvin that outright reject democracy.

So if both parties are moving this direction, we need to make sure we are the ones in power when the shoe drops. I wish I could say I’m joking about all of this.”

Cutting at the pleasure of our President and our taxpayers. Not adding to the rot and bloat.

Incorrect. The funding was not allocated to commit Fraud. Which is what is occurring. Corruption and Fraud will not be tolerated anymore. You will start to see more Luigi's

It’s also ironic that youre on here touting cutting spending, when the politics are such that it’s impossible, but now that Trump and Elon are putting in the effort and reveal, your TDS is trying so hard to make light of it.
