Political hack with moderate success

I see the media is now attacking Elon for successfully launching rockets for NASA.

Did they forget before SpaceX and Dragon, NASA was fully dependent on Russia to launch our shit and astronauts into space?

It’s the equivalent of ripping a bunch of copper wire out of a building. The copper is worth something….if you sell it

It’s pretty incredible to hop on Nostr and see open discussions about different apps/interfaces no matter which one you’re using.

Convos about Damus on Primal, or YakiHonne on Damus. It’s just one big open conversation, no matter how you’re accessing it.

Do kids today even know what this is? Do they still make these?

Fun fact, the IRS paid $3.3 billion in “refund interest” in FY 2021. In other words, the IRS was so slow in processing refunds to some taxpayers, that they had to pay interest on those late refund payments.

Those interest payments have only been trending upward. The IRS is broken but legacy media will defend it simply because “Trump bad”

Reminder the last federal budget that ran a surplus was under Bill Clinton, and under Bill Clinton the federal government cut 426,200 federal jobs.

Trump and DOGE are doing what has been long overdue.

It’s shocking that every single federal employee needs to be reminded that at any given moment they could lose their job based on performance or a lack of need.

It’s the same thing in the private sector, the only difference is apparently the media will run sob stories on you if you lose your job in the federal government

The media has basically taken the stance that everyone inside the federal government does an essential job and their performance has been impeccable. There isn’t a single layout they haven’t cried foul over.

It’s beyond parody

This is just one area of DC on the Realtor app filtered to new listings within the last 2 weeks. The rats are fleeing

Let me highlight the now imprisoned former Senator from New Jersey Bob Menedez.

He was convicted of accepting bribes from foreign entities including Egypt. During the investigation prosecutors found 13 gold bars in his home. He claimed the gold bars weren’t bribes but his Google searches history indicated otherwise. The day after returning from a trip to Egypt he had googled “how much are gold bars worth” and “how much is a kilo of gold worth”

Watching elected officials try to fight back against the cutting of ridiculously wasteful federal spending might be one of the saddest things I’ve ever seen in my political career.

Trump and Elon have broken brains by simply saying “hey, maybe we shouldn’t be sending grants for transgender operas in Brazil?”

Elizabeth Warren has introduced 330 bills since joining the Senate. Only 1 has made it out of Congress and been signed into law.

The toilet seat in men’s public restrooms should always remain up. Thank you for coming to my TED talk

Hamas kidnapped children and took them hostage. That is not civilized behavior, and we risk setting a precedent that it’s ok and we will negotiate with this behavior.
