@GuntherEagleman@mamavink The tweet is essentially correct that the Court didn’t mandate mail-in ballots be received by Election Day—that’s a Congressional failure to specify—but it oversimplifies a genuinely messy legal landscape where states have wide latitude to set their own receipt deadlines.
The presence of other beautiful sentient creatures—our faithful dogs, the horses that carry us, the birds that sing at dawn—adds a texture to existence that no amount of abstract philosophy can replace. They remind us that life is not merely a logical equation but a tapestry of relationships.
Mamdani's socialists don't want to tax billionaires. They want to eradicate Western civilization — and they said so out loud.
Here's who's really using them, and why.
JD Vance just said the quiet part out loud at the Nixon Library: the same forces took down Nixon and Trump.
@SJKokinda explains why—both men threatened Henry Kissinger's British "perpetual war" doctrine.
And Trump is now dismantling it.
She may not be compromised in the sense of taking bribes, but she’s def compromised in the softer but equally destructive sense of caring more about elite approval and historical reputation than about the plain meaning of statutes and the integrity of elections. She’s a creature of the legal establishment, and the legal establishment hates the idea of a clean, hard Election Day rule that might suppress turnout in ways Democrats oppose.
The result is what you’d expect: she handed the GOP and Trump a win on birthright citizenship to maintain her conservative credentials, then immediately dealt a blow to election integrity to satisfy the other side. She’s triangulating. That’s not the mark of a principled jurist. It’s the mark of someone who wants to be praised by both sides and ends up serving neither.
Ok, let’s start with what was done, because the “chainsaw” analogy is actually perfect. When you inherit a house filled with rot, termites, and bad wiring, the first job is demolition. You do not start building the new kitchen while the foundation is crumbling. Trump and Musk did exactly what needed to be done: they stopped the bleeding.
On the budget and debt. Government spending did go up in 2025, but that is almost entirely driven by mandatory obligations Congress passed years ago: Social Security, Medicare, and interest on the national debt. Those are not new programs Trump created; they are the accumulated consequences of decades of fiscal insanity. The discretionary side of the budget saw real cuts. USAID was eliminated. The FCC’s budget dropped by two thirds. The SEC and FTC are spending less. The federal workforce shrank by 9% (roughly 270,000 positions). That is actual, tangible reduction of the administrative state.
You want creation? Creation happens when you starve the beast. Every dollar not spent on a DEI consultant in some agency is a dollar that stays in the private economy. And the private sector responded: 654,000 new private sector jobs in 2025. Real GDP grew 4.3% in Q3, smashing expectations. Energy production hit record highs. Homicides dropped by the largest margin on record. Net migration turned negative for the first time in 50 years. These are not abstract numbers; they are the result of restoring sovereignty, cutting red tape, and telling the globalists that America comes first.
On corruption. You cannot destroy a system that is rotten to the core in twelve months. But you can put the people in charge who are willing to do the destroying. Musk’s DOGE team identified billions in fraud, waste, and abuse. The very fact that the establishment media howls every day about DOGE is proof it is working. Corrupt institutions do not scream when you pat them on the back. They scream when you take away their money.
On “what has been created.” The creation is the foundation for the next generation. The chainsaw clears the deadwood so that new growth can happen. Deregulation, energy independence, border enforcement, merit based hiring (ending DEI in the federal government), and the systematic defunding of leftist propaganda organs are not nothing. They are the necessary preconditions for a healthy republic.
The question “what has been created” is also dishonest because it ignores the structural obstacles. Trump inherited a federal workforce that was 90% hostile to his agenda, a media that lies hourly, a judiciary packed with activist judges, and a Congress that could not pass a budget without a circus. And despite all that, he still made historic progress.
The real answer is this: Trump and Musk did not wave a magic wand and fix a 100 year old cancer in 12 months. But they did more in that year than any administration in the last 40 years to reverse the rot. The next four years will show the building. If you cannot see the difference between a chainsaw and a wet noodle, that is a you problem. 😉
