Trump Dictatorship and All Things Politics

Who gets to decide what is wasteful spending and what isn't?
Just because musk cuts spending that isn't necessarily a good thing.
What if musk cuts spending for the FAA that leads to more plane crashes and death?
What if he cuts spending on the department of education and it leads to less educated generations?
What if he cuts spending on the FDA and it leads to Americans getting sick or dying from bad food/allergens?
What if he cuts spending to the EPA and it leads to poor quality air, water, soil that causes sickness and death?

Our government has been the envy of other nations for a long long time. We have had an incredible quality of life. I have been to other countries and I'm always happy to be back home. I love America and have always wanted to live here over everywhere else.

But trump thinks he needs to tear everything down and fire everyone and downsize everything and install his very own government and that we will be better off for it?

Agree to disagree.

I didn't think our government was broke. Our voter voting in horrible humans like trump is certainly a problem but the government as a whole has been pretty good to pretty much all of us. We have everything we need and most everything we want. We go on vacations and eat out constantly and go to concerts and gamble out money way etc etc.

Small tweaks is the way to go rather than utter chaos and destruction in the government.

trump got some of you drinking the Kool aid and thinking America sucks like he thinks and that we need to re do everything. That's sad.

I knew better than to look at a post I have on ignore. Such a waste of time. I was doing so well too and never reading the stupid posts. Then I saw someone quoted a post and made a mistake and wasted a bunch of time making points to someone drunk on brainwash Kool aid.

Back to sanity now.

This is a really good post. One of the best I’ve read in a long time. I too would rather see a few tweaks done to America. I don’t want to, “blow things up” either.

I am no left by any means. But extreme left like communism or extreme right like fascism is a big no. So little credit to orange Hitler when he keeps creating authoritarian, personality cult based dictatorship is not going to happen. We see bigger picture and it is scary and not looking good.
 
This is insane!

Why are we giving Musk and his goons our information? Has he been elected? What ethical training has he been given to make sure his team doesn’t use or sell our data against our wishes? What recourse do we have if he abuses this position? Do we really think Musk will allow Bondi to prosecute him? We think this is going to end well? This is shrinking the size of government? Really?

Cuz this oddly looks like an unholy marriage between oligarchs and their useful *** clown president to use and abuse information that they never should have had access to. Some consistency from the right sure would be nice. If you wouldn’t allow George soros to have this type of access then you probably shouldn’t let Musk.

Elon Musk’s Team Now Has Access to Treasury’s Payments System

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent gave Mr. Musk’s representatives at the so-called Department of Government Efficiency a powerful tool to monitor and potentially limit government spending.

Trump forces the military to open damns at multiple reservoirs to get water to LA to fight fires.

“As I’m sure the administration is aware, the rivers into which this water was released do not actually flow into Los Angeles,” Padilla wrote. “Unscheduled water releases require close coordination with local officials and safety personnel, as well as downstream agricultural water users, in order to reduce flood risks to communities and farms. Based on the urgent concerns I have heard from my constituents, as well as recent reporting, it appears that gravely insufficient notification was given, recklessly endangering residents downstream.”

Sen. Adam Schiff (D-California) called the water releases “uncoordinated and unwarranted,” writing on X that it’s “not being directed to LA where the fires are contained. And now, it won’t be available when farmers need it in summer.”


So trump emptied water from reservoirs that people will need later in the year so that it could just be wasted. Probably trying to sabotage california since he didn't get their electoral votes.

Water going from northern California to southern California was never the problem. Most of L.A.'s water comes from the Colorado River anyways. It is the water infrastructure in southern California that Newson has no control over. If the Army Corp's released any water from any reservoirs in northern California it was a waste of water being that the one aqueduct that actually goes from north to south was already running full. Trump is gaslighting that he did some great deed and his rabid followers are lapping it up.

Was there any expectation that any action Trump would take would have any benefit to anyone except his own self-aggrandizement? When the California citrus crop begins to fail this summer because Trump made a show of dumping water being held for those crops, Trump will blame Biden and the Dems.

Releasing farmer's water stores ... 250 miles away from LA on the other side of a mountain range that requires water to pumped over the mountains... represents nothing other than removing the water from farmers. CA is 750 miles from the wetlands up north the drylands down south. This isn't some little state where doing something a few towns over crosses half the state. When food prices go up because farms go dry, remember this photo-op.

It really wouldn’t surprise me if Donald did this. And his slobbering cult following will cheer him on all the way just as they did when he told people to try out kook remedies for Covid and claimed the 2020 election was stolen.

Today My wife got off the phone with a family member who’s on Medicaid and is worried about what Trump’s tariffs are going to do to her medicine and what Musk is going to do to her Medicaid. Sadly, a lot of good people are going to be hurt by this administration. It’s a shame we couldn’t just limit the damage to the morons who voted for Trump. I sure don’t want to be paying 25 percent tariffs on Monday because a bunch of dotards voted for this *** wipe.

Doesn’t sound helpful. But I’m sure Fox News will get some good video clips. It’ll make the teevee president look good. It’s a shame Obama, Biden and the Democrats have never been able to play this game. They’re much better with policy and governing than propaganda. Becoming President seems easy these days. Say a bunch of offensive and stupid things. Get attention from Fox News and dudebro podcasters. Make things worse with your corruption but have right wing media churn out video clips on teevee to make it appear like you’re doing something helpful.

In case your liberal media did not tell you the reason for the tariffs.

Very misleading. Inexcusable. When it was suggested to Trump that it was Americans who will pay for the tariffs, he replied “they will understand”. Excuse me?? We will accept higher prices across the economy? Really? Easy for a billionaire to say…4x more drugs flow from the United States into Canada than from Canada into the United States!
