    Whether it was the Russia Hoax that originated from the Hilary Campaign, the Laptop that was totally *not* Hunters, The Document raids, the moving a misdemenor crime that had expired the statute of limitations to a federal charge, by asserting it was done in the aid of a crime (that no one can agree what crime it was done in aid of...) - the fact is, The US Justice department went after a Presidential candidate like no other time in history that I can think of.

    And everyone who went along with it is complicit.

    All those agents had to do was stand on principles and say that it was politically motivated - but they didnt. They did the dirty work to appease their democrat masters - and now those cows are coming home to roost.

    Now the shoe is on the other foot, they are getting the consequences of their actions - and I couldnt be happier.
    Yep the hysteria before the election about what trump would try to do to them. Because they knew a lot of it was politically motivated and not legit. They knew how crazy it was to go down that path and worried it could happen to them.

    Trumps about doing business though and making America great again. He knows that it’s the better option to just let go all those involved in that and start again. Running a big witch-hunt through court system like other lot did is just expensive and time consuming distraction for zero return.

    And the ending of USAID is torpedoing a lot of the previous shenanigans. We thought it was bad Jacinda gave press 50 million to get them inside. Biden gave USA media outlets 50 billion through usaid. One of them mysteriously can’t pay its workers now despite previously appearing as a solid organisation.

    It seems some $27 million dollars went to Politico during the Biden years — and that’s just the subscriptions (not the USAID). Truly, Politico charges as much as $10,000 for a single “Politico Pro” subscription — and so the taxpayers fork out big bucks to pay for politicians “work expenses”, and the money ends up covering the salaries of journalists who are working hard to deceive the hapless taxpayers.

    If any of that is even true, as musk and trump lie to a ridiculous degree (50 million on condoms to the palastinians for example), imagine the wastage, and snouts in the troughs over at the defense department. I wonder if they will look over there since the usaid is less than 1% (which is still a lot) of the us budget, and defense is 13%. Hint, they wont because billionaires be making billions over there.

    The absurdity of a bunch of the poorest people in the US putting the richest people into power thinking they will look after them

    The DEI hire White House press secretary claimed it was fifty million. Trump doubled it to 100 million.

    Meanwhile the latest Time magazine cover is going to cause problems in Paradise. It features Musk seated at the desk of the US President.

    I didnt say that. I said they are getting the consequences of their actions. Big difference.

    Many people pointed out that this was going to be the result.

    Just missing the part where Russia helped win the 2016 election.

    More to that, 8 days ago time was being complimented by cult leader, now it is trash. what could of happened in that time?



    Also, it is jolly nice of musk to give marxism a leg up with the Chinese looking to swoop heroically in and pick up the usaid slack and soft power that comes with it. A big beautiful Chinese new years gift from the nazi one

    Many people, both Left and Right have long been critical of excessive spending in the Military Industrial Complex.

    However - and I think this is worth noting:

    The classic example of the $600 Hammer in the Military (that has been going on since the 80s) - let us run through that:

    The US Military pays a US company for an over-priced hammer, part of which goes to US workers, the rest gets re-invested - either to the company or to the executives in bonuses.

    It is largesse, it is snouts in the trough, it should be sorted.

    However, it is not the same as spending Millions of dollars to fund overseas Leftist activist organizations.

    And this is where a key difference is:

    Military spending is politically neutral. It does not benefit either side. However, what we are seeing with some of the USAID revelations is that there is an awful lot of spending to Left-wing news outlets, an awful lot of spending on overseas DIE programs, an awful lot of spending on overseas Alphabet spending - all of which has a distinct political bent.

    Finding out that there has been a concerted effort by the Government to spend tax revenue on leftist activism is a vindication for a number of people who have been claiming this for years.

    And I will be honest - I did not think it would be that flagrant.

    Remember how the Soviet Union collapsed - they tried to out-spend the USA and lost.

    Just a thought...

    Ahem it might go pay to check the net worth of Democrat party leaders, they are all well up there st that level. Much of a deal is made about insider trading. Do you know it’s only a $200 fine? A lot of financial news channels follow what these people do with their money. Nancy pelosi recently triggered a stock rise when it was revealed what she was buying into.
    Albeit musk is at another level financially but most political people are savvy investors.
    And just what did the democrats do for the poor people in last four years to raise their income or standard of living?
    Rampant illegal immigration dosnt doing anything for wage bargaining power for sure.

    The poor are only poor because the education system doesn’t give them the full picture and instruction on how to get ahead regardless of who is in power and it’s same in nz.

    The defence industry may be in for a shakeup, have a read up on Palantir. Soon AI systems will properly track and account for all spending plus new players are threatening the legacy contractors who have been slow on the uptake of drone and unmanned type system deployments.

    Please note my lack of defining which color ties the pigs gorging from the trough are wearing - they are politicians, so they will pretty much all have their snouts in there.

    With billionaires likely supplying the AI software - does not have me expecting a lot of change, just an extra level of sophistication in the scam.

    So paying for a service now is evidence of corruption? That’s bad news for capitalism going forward.

    The current "scare word" to keep the right leaning voters in line is DEI. Biden's press secretary was said to be DEI, well she was black and an immigrant. The attachment compares her credentials to Trump's press secretary who actually is a DEI hire. Blonde bimbos need an interest.
