@DNIGabbard Sad that Comey was foolish enough to post that pic. Quite a fall from grace. The same laws that apply to all of us, apply to him as well. He seems to have forgotten that.
PBS and NPR need to go. Relevant in the 70’s and maybe the 80’s, then became a one-sided political platform. We need the money for more important items, like taking care of our veterans. 🇺🇸
@elonmusk@realDonaldTrump Zelensky is an arrogant piss-ant. You’re not dealing with JoJo the clown anymore.
Man-up, say thank you and take the deal. Otherwise, send us our equipment back, pay our money back and take your chances on your own.
@RBReich The federal government does not “provide” or “make” anything. It only takes our tax money and either mishandles or or steals it. We’re taking back control, so take a walk pal…
@NewYorkStateAG@AGWilliamTong More lies. He does not have access to anyone’s personal information. Define “essential funding” specifically and provide evidence of what you are claiming about Elon Musk. You can’t…you’re just another empty talking head.
.@VDHanson: Sorry, Liberals. DOGE Is 100% Legal. Here’s Why.
Is the Left taking the bait? While many in the legacy media continue to berate Elon Musk for his role in defunding bloated federal programs and agencies, Donald Trump remains largely unscathed. Is this part of a larger strategy by the president, wonders Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”
“He's more legitimate—or he has more statutory legitimacy—than earlier presidential advisors, like Harry Hopkins, who moved into the White House under the FDR administration, or Bernard Baruch, who basically ran two world wars, in terms of domestic production, under Woodrow Wilson and FDR. So, let's just dispel the idea that he's doing anything unusual. ...
“As far as the executive orders that created the DOGE program and eliminated USAID—that was perfectly legal in itself—USAID was created by John F. Kennedy in 1961 by an executive order. There was a statutory direction for the president to disperse foreign aid into a comprehensive body, but it didn't say USAID—he could do whatever he wanted. ...
"And so, Donald Trump has decided to end an autonomous USAID and fold it into the State Department for disaster relief or poverty relief or famine relief. ...
“All Donald Trump is doing is saying, ‘I don't believe the impoundment act is legal. We'll see what the Supreme Court says—but I'm just following the precedent that Joe Biden did.’ But now, the shoe's on the other foot."
