Nobody elected anybody in the cabinet. Nobody elected any of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Do you have a point? Elon had found billions in waste and billions more will be found. Liberals hate it because they are living off of it. War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength |

| Tanko Member since: Aug 15, 2019 Threads: 0 Posts: 2470 | Trump and Musk accuse Biden of stalling the return of the astronauts stranded in space for nearly 300 days. https://nypost.com/2025/02/18/us-news/elon-musk-says-stranded-astronauts-were-left-up-there-for-political-reasons-by-biden/ “They were left up there for political reasons, which is not good,” the world’s richest man said while seated next to President Trump in a joint interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity on Tuesday night. 'Musk’s SpaceX in September launched a Crew Dragon capsule to rescue the pair, and it docked at the space station, but NASA opted to stall its return.' Despite the SpaceX Dragon capsule previously returning other crews safely to the earth, NASA refused to allow the capsule to return this crew. The Dragon capsule that could have brought them home safely five months ago, will dock with the space station again on four weeks for the rescue. Six months more than necessary spent in space. Thanks to Biden. “They didn’t have the go-ahead with Biden,” Trump said. “He was going to leave them in space. I think he was going to leave them in space … He didn’t want the publicity.” |

This is baloney. Let the astronauts file a complaint if they're upset. "Trumpsplain (def.) explaining absolute nonsense said by TRUMP. |

BINGO. It’s not up to you (Geno)to oversee Bondi’s work. It’s up to Trump. It’s not up to you (Geno) to DECIDE to implement MUSK’s RECOMMENDATIONS. It’s up to Trump. I’m guessing 90%+ of all the work YOU THINK is done by elected officials is done by the people THEY appoint to work under them. Summary…. Geno thinks all the SPECIFIC examples of WASTED taxpayer dollars are OK, because they were legally done by the Democrats when they were in power. Luckily for us, Geno’s concerns are irrelevant to what’s ACTUALLY happening now. |

There s no waste found by Elon. He's is literally making it all up: https://www.techdirt.com/2025/02/19/its-easy-to-save-billions-in-taxpayer-funds-when-everything-is-made-up/ Well, Biondi was appointed by the President per law and confirmed by the Senate, per the Constitution. What's Elon's role? What's his job title? What laws regarding the Federal workforce or political appointees does he have to follow? Or is this one of those topics where SooPoo is going to start off with "I don't know but..."? And, yes, once again for the cheap seats that SooPoo et al like to occupy: spending according to Congressional law isn't waste per se. And it isn't fraud or abuse. It's a very impressive feat of contortionism, you having your head up both Elon's and Donny's backsides at the exact same time, doc. Otherwise I have no clue what point your word salad to me is supposed to actual get across. |

The astronauts tell a different story than President Elon: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2025/02/18/starliner-astronauts-not-stuck-space-trump-musk-stranded/79057218007/ |

| Evenbob Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 148 Posts: 25978 | I fail to understand what all the fuss is about. Reagan wanted to do this, find out where all the money goes. He couldn't get support in Congress. Then Bill Clinton really wanted to do it and ditto for him, no support. What did these two have in common they were both deep state Outsiders, they were both former governors. Along comes Obama and he hints at doing it and gets shot down immediately and becomes a gravy train recipient. This is because Washington is full of nothing but thieves, and they're not going to let anybody take it away from them. So Trump gets elected, and they tried everything to get rid of him and then even tried to kill him to keep him from being reelected. And now the truth is finally coming out and Washington is coming literally unglued because the gravy train is being exposed. Elon Musk knew it was there and he's the one that told Trump cuz I don't remember this being an issue in Trump's first term. Everybody knows Elon is smart but I don't think anybody knows exactly how smart he really is. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Are you on drugs? There is waste in most things our government does. Elon has just scratched the surface. Just wait and see what else he finds. I remember giving a forensics speech on government waste, back in the 1980s. I got one of those booklets from Citizens Against Government Waste. They had dozens of simple examples, they were outsiders. Know why liberals claim the guy launching our rockets is somehow "not cleared" to audit things? They know how much will be found. War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength |

this is hilarious, every child would understand instantly that they are indeed stranded once they know what that word means. It's the definition. We have to forgive the astronaut for trying to be a team player, but he is not being honest about how he must feel. It's indisputable that this is not good for your health. Just shows how adults can so readily turn to what Orwell was talking about, changing the meaning of words. Auschwitz  I'm Still Standing, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah [it's an old guy chant for me] |

| DoubleGold Member since: Jan 26, 2023 Threads: 34 Posts: 4246 | Communist media. Trump calls it fake news. I call it Mockingbird. It's owned by the descendants of the folks in the Bolshevik revolution. It's an important piece of the puzzle to know before deciding what side you are on. They control the medical and the educational institutions also. Understand what wares you are selling to innocent folks and for whom. If you don't know, ask someone, but certainly don't support Communists unless you're a commie. |
