• On the post: The Elon DOGE Emperor Has No Clothes

  Yes, we get it, you just hate free speech, are willing to say any dumsh!t to pretend free speech is bad.

  Again, you can't help it with the self-defeating irony. Just yelling over and over "you just hate free speech!" is dumb and incredibly simplistic. It's literally all you can come up with because the actual situation is probably giving even you the shits. You just can't admit how wrong you've been about Musk and everything he touches.

  ...they’ve already saved several billion dollars.

  Genuine question: Are you stupid enough to believe this despite no evidence being presented, or do you actually think we're stupid enough to believe you?

  ...the anti-Trump-ers are the ones approaching their breaking point.

  And you think that's going to work out good for you?!

  Obvious troll is obvious.

  The free speech, transparency, you hates it, it burns.

  This is an especially ironic claim in an article specifically referencing The Emperor's New Clothes. Musk's claims of free speech and transparency are the invisible clothes and just you're one of the sycophants saying how beautiful they are. We're not that stupid though, we can pretty clearly see what's really happening.

  As if the last president hadn’t accepted $20 mil in bribes and then pardoned basically his entirely family to make investigation into that impossible.

  Every attempt to prove this nonsense failed spectacularly before any pardons were given. It was always only about winding up suckers like you.

  But there’s a lot to do and little time to do it, so we’re going to move fast and break things, instead.

  They're not "things" you sociopath, they're people.

  A little pushback on AP WhiteHouse access privileges is perfectly legal.

  CNN demonstrated that is not actually the case.

  AP is also notorious for politically biased language in its news reporting.

  Even if that were true, so what? Fox, OAN and Newsmax are also notorious for politically biased language in their news reporting. I doubt you have any concerns about them.

  But he did follow the proper procedure...

  You're like a toddler trying to convince a parent something happened while standing right in front of the proof that it didn't.

  They’re not breaking the law. You want to pretend they are breaking the law to be anti-democratic

  So you think all those Republican-appointed judges are also pretending they are breaking the law to be anti-democratic?

  You seem to be looking for complicated ways to pretend he didn’t win the popular vote.

  Nobody is doing that. On the contrary Trumpists seem to be looking for complicated ways to pretend he had a landslide victory and has a mandate to implement every kooky idea in Project 2025.

  Let me rephrase my simplistic statement. Voters who didn't turn out were the deciding factor in Trump's victory. Anybody who didn't vote shares a part of the blame for the current situation. "Deserving pain" is admittedly harsh and some are far less deserving than others, but it's hard to be sympathetic when it was so fucking obvious what was going to happen.

  Considering that they’re all computer geniuses, they’re amongst the most qualified individuals in the nation for this.

  Cut the obvious BS, you know absolutely nothing about these clowns that you didn't just read from one of Musk's X posts.

  And Musk has explicitly threatened to pay to “primary” any congressperson who steps out of line.

  Wow, who would've thought Citizens United would be abused in such an anti-democratic way...

  you’re looking for a loophole to blunt the results of an election, that’s anti-democratic...

  Getting elected doesn't bestow the winner the right to break the law. Regardless of who it is, looking for ways to push back against illegal activity is not only not anti-democratic, it's the only appropriate response in a functioning democracy.

  It's very notable that not a single person celebrating the CFPB's demise can put up any serious argument against.

  Do you believe the other 69%, who either voted for a different candidate or didn’t vote at all, deserve the pain that Trump will inevitably cause them?

  The first group, no. The second group, abso-fucking-lutely.

  The DoD should've been first on that list, but assuming it even happens you know Musk is going to be very selective about what he considers to be fraud, waste and abuse. He will do anything to avoid hurting his cash cow.
