I really digged Too Much To Dream, great song.

Tash reminds me of Gorillaz, groovy. Her guitar solo, singing and comfort in that studio is magical.

I should cover Nazareth Hair of the Dog using the voice of Colossus.

Once upon a time I represented a seller (Australian) against a manufacturer (Houston). The seller's principal routinely traveled internationally with various tools and equipment. He was often questioned about those items by various customs officials. He admittedly paid small "gratuities" to such officials to get on down the road.
At trial I convinced the judge to exclude that evidence because in those circumstances it's just a fact of life in international business.
That said, I don't get where the Buffoon in going with this.

The leopard that ate your face has set fire to your house and all you have is "This is fine."

"It's not the executive Branch's power to decide where and how much money is spent."
Are you that ------- stupid? The executive branch executes what money the legislative branch gives it.
Dumbass.
Trump is the CEO of the U.S. It's his responsibility that the money isn't wasted.

HE IS A SERVANT TO OUR CONSTITUTION, NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND.

Bypassing it's process and separation of powers is opposite to responsible governance.

Why hasn't he stopped subsidies to oil corporations, pharmaceutical corporations, or the mega-wealthy such as Musk?

Your servitude to their ideals is irresponsibility and not upholding democracy.

Also, Trump does not respect military readiness. Transgender people serve without issue. Sexuality is baked into our complexity, THAT is to our advantage, not punishing diversity such as removing clubs and firing amputees. The separation of language such as 'transgender', 'diversity, equity and inclusion' is blatant oppression. How can you command respect if you cannot demonstrate it?

Corky,
Just listen to the man. Lets look at his proof. If what he says is true, lets get to the bottom of it and save some money.
You know you can audit without reducing benefits of people receiving, don't you?
I would want him to stop the money going places it shouldn't.
You should too.

Oh, I agree that looking at the truth is beneficial.

How much and whom was "saved" by shuttering USAID?

Or by copying our social security information, financial records and medical data and leveraging it?

Paying attention to so much winning can be distracting from the losing.

Send it back to him for his oligarch reveal party. Black smoke means hydrocarbon future, white means metal oxides.

Who protects the wealthy from the poor?

Trump is removing the agency that prevents US citizens from donating to foreign candidates, among other traitorous expenditure restrictions.

Access and power by favor, reciprocation and corruption - all for sale and spreading their oppression globally.

Musks concentrated wealth as it's own government oversight is the decline of democracy, and TrumpCo is dismantling agencies that he feels safeguard it.

At some future point where public desperation overwhelms fear, would you expect those with the most guns or assets sitting on top?

That is what you bank on. Monetary abusers. Societal parasite. Elitist authoritarian sociopath.

Apparently the helicopter was expected to fly itself.

"The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) similarly issued a freeze on disbursement of climate and EV-related funds from the Inflation Reduction Act during Trump's first week in office. Both the EPA and the Justice Department also made moves to shut down their offices of environmental justice this week."

Desperate rewriting and revocation of growth leads to resentment.

This speaks to inclusion and cooperation having no place other than outlined doctrinal practice.

The worrisome power that a transgendered wield against military readiness must be prevented.

Also, the Robotics Club seems too eager to help amputees..

@#12
So, in those emails, at a minimum, seems to have wanted write access to the systems?

I presume installation of a specific organization access identical to PTech is priority.

Plausibly deniable and scientifically unnatural disinterest.

Deliberate and selective, very NASA.

Carefully examine the landscape and it is littered with interesting remnants, imo.

Did a space-faring people colonize multiple worlds, only ours survived some multi-planet "reset" event?

Musk is commandeering Air Traffic Control for "coding".

Back doors installed in every government system.

This person has had no background check and Trump allegedly understands none of these actions.

Allegedly, none of the legislators appear to understand but will secede all power to this project.

They hacked the election, imo.

A trial run.

The actual "authoritarian" rule comes when Trump is no longer able to manipulate successfully.

Imo.

Imo, the election was hacked.

Ieo, Government agencies are hacked.

Will revolt trigger the COG?

REVOLT NOW.

This is utterly insane. Musk sent his minions to get everyone's names, classified data, etc. from USAID. Musk is a traitor and an enemy of the United States, as is our current President.

Bomb threats, change of custody then "winning".
