Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News

After Musk called U.S. Sen. Mark Kelly a traitor for supporting Ukraine, Kelly said this: "Traitor? Elon, if you don't understand that defending freedom is a basic tenet of what makes America great and keeps us safe, maybe you should leave it to those of us who do."

Trump's allies are all so grotesquely twisted. The South African oligarch in Trump's orbit knows absolutely nothing about American patriotism and proper allegiances. Sen. Mark Kelly is deeply beloved and honored in this country -- whereas Elon Musk is wholly despised. SLAVA UKRAINI FOREVER.

Herr Musk must mean that Kelly is a traitor to he and Trump; the Fascist cause.

Musk is autistic, and has admitted as much.

"Growing up, "the social cues were not intuitive," Musk said when asked about it on stage at the TED2022 conference in Vancouver, Canada.

"I would just tend to take things very literally ... but then that turned out to be wrong " [people were not] simply saying exactly what they mean, there's all sorts of other things that are meant, and [it] took me a while to figure that out," he recalled."

We see it in the way he treats people who disagree with him.... and we see it when he sends 20 year olds with no Auditing experience to prove that all the Myths about Soc Sec are true.

But then, so is Bill Gates, and he doesn't think he's a Space Nazi.

Wait. Is Leon saying he doesn't mean what he says, or doesn't understand what he is saying? Here's a quote to provide some guidance:

"Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt"
--Abraham Lincoln

When republicans say TRAITOR, they mean TRAITOR TO THE KING.

When democrats say TRAITOR, they mean TRAITOR TO THE CONSTITUTION.

He certainly looked like an imbecile when he tried to explain how SS is a Ponzi scheme to Joe Rogan.

And pissing on Verizon's system, when it wasn't Verizon's system, is peak Doge-bag.

That was really stupid. Almost as stupid was hsi charaterization of undocumented workers and social security:

"The waste and fraud in entitlement spending ... that's the big one to eliminate, that's the sort of half trillion, maybe six or seven hundred billion a year..."
"That is also a mechanism by which the Democrats attract and retain illegal immigrants, by essentially paying them to come here, and they're turning them into voters. This is why the Democrats are so upset about the situation," he added, unsubtly echoing a white nationalist, Great Replacement theory talking point while Larry Kudlow nodded along. "If we turn off this gigantic money magnet for illegal immigrants, then they will leave. And they will lose voters."

Anyone that has a clue knows the undocumented worker pay in and will never get anything out of Social Security.

Is Mark Kelly a senator for Ukraine?
We have a State Department to handle foreign affairs.
These random US officials traveling abroad on quasi-official junkets are out of place. They should be investigated to see if they are working deals behind our back, peddling influence to foreigners.

Itchy has no idea what Senators do.

He is a Senator on 5 committees, including Intelligence and Armed Services. He knows a -------- more about Ukraine than you ever will.

sure, but these committees can interface with the state dept, and the state dept can handle the foreigners.

The Department of State is responsible for managing relationships with foreign nations, overseeing diplomacy and foreign policy for the U.S.

Oh for a second I thought you were expressing concern for foreign influence, while ignoring that the entire republican party is a russian propaganda arm.

So, he really has some grade-a influence to sell. Is he going to report to State when he returns, like "Hold the presses, guys! I made a breakthrough!"? No. Whatever deals he makes will be opaque and outside channels.

Itchy - you lost this battle, now you're just a torso on the ground with no arms or legs trying to be taken seriously. It isn't happening.

Mark Kelly is an American hero, a patriot in the true sense of the word.
