Now that musk is saying he’s doing the DOGE stuff “because the globalists have plotted a Great Replacement in which they use government handouts to buy votes from illegal immigrants and urban blacks” maybe we don’t have to act like this is about deficits or cost cutting anymore

The CFPB has:

-Returned $20B to victims of financial fraud
-Cracked down on junk fees
-Fought against politically-motivated debanking
-Protected veterans from predatory lenders
-Protected consumers' data from corporate abuse

Oligarchs want to reverse all of this.

Wonder if Elon could survive a week on the salary we make. While he burns through $8 million a day, the working class struggles—yet he paints us as the enemy.

This country has seen some bad moments in the 61 years, 5 months, 16 days I’ve been on this Earth. But it has never, ever before come close to the supertoxic level of stupidity, mendacity, narcissism, nihilism, and moral apathy that threaten to destroy it today.

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: He choked.

The market started to tank, and suddenly, he said, “Oh, didn’t you guys already have a plan to deal with the border back in December? I love that—I’ll take that.”

This is Mr. Art of the Deal.

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

That's the autocratic way
It turns out the “free speech” guys want the federal government, or its proxies, to control all major communications platforms

Here's a graphic explaining how the Big Lie was seeded and mobilized into the events of January 6, 2021 through a kind of "participatory disinformation" process. Trump's "war on drugs" refrain could catalyze a similar kind of participatory propaganda and mobilization cycle.

Trump is setting a new “anti-drug” frame for his supporters. Next, we’ll see content creators generate evidence to fit this frame, and news influencers work to amplify that evidence, reinforcing the frame. Soon, we’ll see this political propaganda machine begin to mobilize upon that evidence.
Captain Eighties strikes again.

Great News! Christopher Titus @titusnation.bsky.social has moved to BlueSky!!! Hilarious, informative and sometimes biting commentary. I promise you will thank me later. Give him a follow!
They had access to all the proof they needed about what a lying loser pedo he is, and they voted for him anyway. The faux billionaire, never helped anyone but he’s gonna help the people he said he despises. Do you get how dumb you have to be to vote for that guy? Pathetic
