Wow! Yesterday, Trump saved 119 million Americans (who were apparently sharing 22 million fentanyl pills). Today, he's up to 258 million...

He's had a busy day!

Keeping up with geometry...

He filch... flinched.

Oh, I get it...

This is a competition between Musk and Trump to determine the world's worst businessman!

Makes total sense now.

In fairness, they needed an audience of his intellectual peers.

"... whoever screams the most is the one stealing..."

Howard Lutnick is doing an awful lot of screaming about how "fraudsters" are the only ones who would be screaming.

Yup... Lutnick told the truth. He's screaming loudest, and he is a fraudster.

If DOGE is really finding fraud and waste, where is the money? Smaller government means lower cost to the taxpayers, doesn't it?

Where are the prosecutions? Fraud is illegal, isn't it?

47 is in court a lot, but none of his filings are to recover the money. Why not?

Ask better questions.
March 5, 2025 at 12:03 PM
Stop debating whether 47 is lying about Social Security and Medicaid fraud. He is.

It's time to start asking why he's lying and where the money DOGE is allegedly finding goes. Who benefits?

Follow the money.

Dems walking out before he does. Nice move.

Stop evaluating children for Autism. Diagnosed cases will decline and you can claim to have cured Autism.

Props to anyone trying to fact-check this speech. My fingers never typed that quickly.

While going bankrupt??

"The days of being ruled by unelected bureaucrats are over"

Except.... Musk?
March 5, 2025 at 2:54 AM
I wonder... does this feeble minded fool really believe the garbage that comes out of his mouth?
March 5, 2025 at 2:48 AM
Imaginary grievance is clearly the topic of this speech.
March 5, 2025 at 2:40 AM
Does he really think we are all that stupid? Does he think we believe his lies?
March 5, 2025 at 2:33 AM
His greatest accomplishment is twisting the truth into a pretzel and getting his sycophants to eat it.

GOP lap dogs gonna rise every time they can.

"America is back" ?? 🤣 🤣

I'm betting Blusterfuck (my new name for him) will claim that they cried "uncle" by assessing tariffs on our products. He'll play it as if he's the winner.

$3.4 trillion in value wiped out in 2 days.Such a moron.

He's such a loser, and he'll never be otherwise.

When you're tanking the economy but need to make people believe it's booming despite what they're feeling, just change the macroeconomic calculation for GDP ...

The Trump administration may exclude government spending from GDP, obscuring the impact of DOGE cuts
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick says he could take government spending out of his agency's reports on gross domestic product.

No one disagrees with cutting waste and fraud in government spending. But the current plan isn't stopping there.

Senator James Lankford (R - Ok) on Meet the Press this morning stated there is $100B in Medicaid expenses that are wasteful, overpayments, fraud, etc.

The only reason anyone would cheer Trump's isolationist agenda is because they don't know how much other countries have contributed to our safety and security.

Now, they won't trust any Intel we bring to them or trust us with any sensitive Intel they might be able to provide to us.
March 2, 2025 at 3:35 PM
Imagine that. The guy who said, "If we stop testing, we'd have fewer cases [of Covid]" back in 2020, sent his DOGE douche to gut NOAA.

I guess if we don't track weather patterns, climate change goes away.
