Trump / Musk (other than DOGE)

Just like always under Trump, you're better off being an enemy than an ally.

Why would he stop lying now? It's worked great for him.

Trump nominates Brevard, NC real estate agent Art Fisher to be the next ambassador to Austria.

So he clearly doesn't understand a mandate and obviously forgot that Reagan started this shit.

Do you think he can define electoral mandate?

Do you think he can specify or define a thing that Reagan did?

Homan in a near-future Trump cabinet meeting: "I know, let's cut Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid and claim that we're going to use the savings to build the border wall and round up all illegals and deport them. We'll kill two birds with one stone, and our base will cheer watching immigrants being deported while we gut their social safety net. Winning!"

I, for one, welcome our new right-wing billionaire plutocrat overlords!

You don't have to compromise when you're the CEO and controlling shareholder and no one tells you no. I think he is in for a rude awakening. Elon is going to figure out the limits of working within our Congressional system.

Maybe their unabashed racist history gave them a leg up in our allegedly more subtle racist future?

All the stories I have found on this so far point to the same source. But I also found stories in 2023 about Republicans criticizing the Biden Administration auctioning off left over wall materials (which they were doing supposedly in accordance with federal excess property disposition regulations).

Joe Biden sold off border wall materials weeks before approving new wall

The government has been auctioning lots of tubing since at least July, with the most recent sales ending just a day before it announced fresh construction.

Exclusive | Biden quietly sells off border wall parts to thwart GOP push to use them

President Biden is quietly selling off millions of dollars’ worth of unused parts from former President Trump’s border wall for peanuts – apparently to stymie pending legislation in Congress…

nypost.com

Biden also had to apply some remaining border wall funds to build more wall in 2023:

So, no clear answer whether the last few auctions are some devious rush before Trump takes office or continuing a process that has been underway for over a year.

I saw your update on this, but can't find it again.

In the end, it was a big, juicy nothing burger because the selling was required by a bill.
