Trump / Musk (other than DOGE)

It’s just fucking insane that the POTUS is releasing public statements wherein he says things like “Crooked Joe Biden.”

Also, that “Crooked Joe Biden” showed up to your inauguration, something you were too petulant to do when he was inaugurated.

And in the same statement he demonstrates more ignorance by basically claiming that wasteful incandescent bulbs make sense in comparison to LEDs.

We had a chance, Pubs. Russia has never been weaker. China is facing enormous demographic and economic challenges. We could have led the world for the next 100 years. But you guys just couldn’t handle the thought of sharing a bathroom with a biological woman.

Wait, we were going to lead the world with Kamala as president? Are you saying you believe she is smart enough, experienced enough, respected enough, and tough enough to be the world’s leader? She would out smart and out maneuver Putin and Xi? Is that correct or did I put words in your mouth?

Trump officials fired nuclear staff not realizing they oversee the country’s weapons stockpile, sources say​

“Trump administration officials fired more than 300 staffers Thursday night at the National Nuclear Security Administration — the agency tasked with managing the nation’s nuclear stockpile — as part of broader Energy Department layoffs, according to four people with knowledge of the matter.

Sources told CNN the officials did not seem to know this agency oversees America’s nuclear weapons.

… The agency began rescinding the terminations Friday morning.

Some of the fired employees included NNSA staff who are on the ground at facilities where nuclear weapons are built. These staff oversee the contractors who build nuclear weapons, and they inspect these weapons.

It also included employees at NNSA headquarters who write requirements and guidelines for contractors who build nuclear weapons.

A source told CNN they believe these individuals were fired because “no one has taken anytime to understand what we do and the importance of our work to the nation’s national security.”

… Members of Congress made their concerns about the NNSA firings known to the Energy Department, a Hill staffer told CNN. A person with knowledge of the matter told CNN that senators visited Energy Sec. Chris Wright to express concern about the NNSA cuts.

“Congress is freaking out because it appears DOE didn’t really realize NNSA oversees the nuclear stockpile,” one source said.

“The nuclear deterrent is the backbone of American security and stability – period. For there to be any even very small holes poked even in the maintenance of that deterrent should be extremely frightening to people.” …”

Yep. Just about anyone could have done it, really. Anyone who didn’t think of him or herself as an ideological ally of Putin. You guys didn’t just make a mistake. You made the dumbest mistake possible.

I mean, the US stayed the unquestioned world superpower with W as president. That’s proof positive a mere idiot could’ve maintained US hegemony.

The way you outmaneuver Putin is to keep supplying Ukraine. Russia has over half their economy supporting the war. The longer they stay mired down in Ukraine the worse it gets. They have a demographic problem that is made worse by the war. China is trickier, supporting domestic production of strategic goods is the best option we have. That’s why Biden’s Chips act was so important. We desperately needed chip production capacity at home with the Taiwan situation. You can tariff China and it will hurt them, but it’s like giving someone a head butt. It’s going to hurt yourself as well. Putting tariffs on our allies is nonsensical.

It is no overstatement that you and those like you have destabilized the entire planet and likely done harm that will outlive even your grandchildren.

I think thats what was being said.

VP Kamala Harris was a former prosecutor. She would have done well on the world stage.

Yes. Compared to Trump and his cabinet of amateurs and traitors, it’s no contest.

She couldn’t even get her own party to vote for her
She had 1 job as VP and she failed spectacularly at it
She can’t even conduct an interview in a coherent way

But she was going to outsmart Putin and Xi? Ok. You guys are convinced she was the world leader in waiting and the one to put China and Russia in their place so not going to argue with you.

 

[Callatoroy]

Yes. Compared to Trump and his cabinet of amateurs and traitors, it’s no contest.

There was 4 previous years of trump to judge his effectiveness against Xi and Putin and then 4 years of Biden / Harris. So I’m sure you guys won’t say trump was more effective but events that took place kind of tell the story.

Gross overstatement but that kind of rhetoric is popular here so kudos to you for the creativity and dramatic flair.

Do you think Russia has been pleased with the White House over the past couple weeks?

I said previously I agreed with you on Russia as it relates to the war in Ukraine.

 

[Callatoroy]

Do you think Russia has been pleased with the White House over the past couple weeks?

Don’t know if they have or not. I think they want to end the war but didn’t know how and now they see trump as a way to do that so I’m sure they are happy to possibly have a way out and save face.

 

[Callatoroy]

Yep. Just about anyone could have done it, really. Anyone who didn’t think of him or herself as an ideological ally of Putin. You guys didn’t just make a mistake. You made the dumbest mistake possible.

Just about anyone? I don’t think Biden did. Do you disagree?
