#BREAKING: Psaki: “Now, the origin story of how we got here is very worth remembering because part of the reason Elon Musk’s companies were able to become so successful in the first place, is because they received a ton of government subsidies, investments, and contracts, and that money was especially crucial to Musk’s companies in their earliest days, when their success was far from a sure bet. Without a critical taxpayer funded investment during a very precarious time for Tesla, it may not have survived at all. And likewise, the financing and contracts that SpaceX received from the federal government in its early years, were absolutely VITAL to making it the company it has now become. So the federal government that Musk took his chainsaw to, was the SAME federal government that enabled that guy to become the world’s richest man by the massive margin we see today.” 🤔

There's no coming back from this for the left.

@JWalters314 They’re just confusing “anger” with “disappointment” per usual. 🙄

@atrupar @Timothy_Bellman No, they meant “grift to Americans”.

Posobiec’s line — “The left has no response to this” — is itself part of the propaganda mechanism.

It is not an argument. It is a dominance cue.

The message is:

We have spectacle.
We have the White House.
We have flags, motorcycles, military-adjacent staging, masculine risk, and executive permission.
Therefore we win.

That is why he says “the left has no response.” He is not claiming the left has no policy response. He is claiming that liberal-democratic politics cannot compete emotionally with imperial entertainment.

And in one sense, he is identifying the problem correctly: bureaucratic liberalism often has trouble responding to spectacle because spectacle bypasses reason. You cannot fact-check a motorcycle jump. You cannot rebut an adrenaline ritual with a white paper.

The image is designed to make criticism look weak, joyless, foreign, feminine, bureaucratic, or anti-American.

This is what a declining republic looks like when it mistakes spectacle for strength.

The White House is not supposed to be a Nitro Circus backdrop. It is the People’s House. Turning it into stunt-show propaganda, however, happened during Trump 1.0. It proves that Trumpism can only imagine power as branding, domination, and content.

@JWalters314 “The left has no response to this!”
🙄
Yeah, and what’s MAGA’s response to this:

[Emoluments Clause @Emolclause]

#BREAKING: Struggling MAGA senior voter: I actually have panic attacks. I’ve heard a couple this past week, and I get very emotional over it. I don’t want to work anymore, but I can’t afford to retire…It’s not an overnight thing, but it’s been two years now. You said you’d bring down the grocery prices. Literally I must be the most angry person when I grocery shop because I buy the same things every week, and I see it jump EVERY WEEK, it’s not every couple month, it’s literally every week.” 😢

@nypost 1. Filling them out is a crime.
2. The signature won’t match.
3. They have your address on file if you do 1 & 2.

[BarrelPhilR @BarrelPhilR]

@nypost Filling them out is a federal crime and will fail the signature matching on file.

Good to see @jsolomonReports insisting paying people to register is a crime--how long until he demands that Elon Musk be caged for doing the same thing only on a FAR bigger scale with added legal problems?

[King Clip-on Tie @RichardClip]

LA ELECTION FRAUD UPDATE
Many are citing as proof of this 'massive fraud' the fact that some voters (all Pratt voters, they say) are being officially notified that their mail-in ballots have been rejected due to a lack of signature match & giving these voters the chance to rectify the error so their votes will count.
I've been practicing criminal law for over 40 years. Never once have I heard of someone perpetrating massive fraud notifying the victims of that fraud WHILE IT WAS ONGOING & giving them a chance to avoid the fraud by curing its cause.
If this is fraud, these fraudsters are idiotic amateurs ....

[EU says Elon should not lie abt my blue check @emptywheel]

BREAKING: @USAttyEssayli KEEPS INSISTING that everyone treat Elon as a criminal vote fraudster but does nothing to cage him for doing it.

Either arrest Elon for paying $1M to the do the same, Bill, or stop pretending you're doing anything but wasting taxpayer $$$.
