Of course the Democrats will be going to Houston to find and interview voters who were laid off , to ask them what their expectations of the new administration were and how they feel they are doing at the moment. And posting here and everywhere. Right ?
On Fox Business this morning, Chevron Chair and CEO Mike Wirth discusses all of the records that the company has broken last year.

"Record" production, record distributions to shareholders, etc...

Yet they're laying off 15%-20% of their workforce.

Vile.

I'm hearing now that *every* technologist CFPB hired to investigate Big Tech was fired this evening. That's somewhere between 70-100 people.

Doge is auditing NASA today.

This is absurd. The owner of Space X should not be auditing NASA.

It’s a massive conflict of interest.

When you solve for the wrong problem, not only do you not get the solution, you can cause harm. The President wasted water that was being saved for farmers for a PR stunt.

This was harmful, ludicrous, and solved nothing.

Oh Donald, you’re not anything but their puppet. They’re laughing at you as you fumble fuck around playing golf and saying stupid shit on TV. They gave you billions of crypto money to shut you up. Pathetic.

Jasmine Crockett, after accusing colleagues of castrating their Constitutional duty, said, “My job is to make sure we don’t have any kings or queens in this country, but it seems like you all have decided it’s going to be Mr. King and his queen. And y’all can pick which one is which.”

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

Chaos is the cheapest ingredient in a revolution.

It takes zero effort to destroy things. To sabatoge, throw a temper tantrum, & burn it all down.

Chaos agents are weak & have too vapid of an ideology to build a functional system.

Revolutionaries who come only with chaos, come with nothing.

So the world's richest man spends a fortune backing Trump and is given the go-ahead to...

-Run an "efficiency" agency despite having billions in govt contracts

-Replace civil servants with his own cronies

-Gain access to sensitive Treasury payment systems

See the problem?

In other news: the party that has been using THEIR constitutional right of free speech to lie to you throughout the election has now decided YOU don't have that right.

Nobody could have foreseen that this is what would happen if you elected a fascist. (Except everybody who has read a history book).

Trump has placed our national security at risk. Elon Musk cannot pass a security clearance, was not elected, and heads up a phony "department" that was not a legally formed w/oversight by Congress.

Let me say this clearly. The tariffs are a money grab. Less money in the hands of the American people due to the new 25% tax on goods. More money to distribute to his cronies in the form of tax cuts.

See how it works?
