Voters Were Right About the Economy. The Data Was Wrong.

anyway, this is a good example. he thinks Fed workers vote 90% Dem. it's pretty much 50/50.

They both aggregate inaccurate/leftist polls and ignore the polls that don't confirm their lib bias.
Thanks for playing.
Factually incorrect. Why lie?

So it looks like this is the deal with Gaza:
Good cop, bad cop.
Trump knows the US isn't going to simply 'own' Gaza and redevelop it.
But he says that, and stays on it...so he looks like a madman bad cop. The guy who will just walk in and take it all for himself. Which would be very unappealing for a bunch of america hating, christian hating, jew hating muslims.
But trump does the 'we will take gaza' bit anyway...to get more arabs to say 'that trump is cray cray...we'd better go talk to Bibi.'
So suddenly, Bibi is the 'normal' 'moderate' 'pragmatist' who arabs can work with. And trump is the guy to stay away from.
It's all about boosting netanyahu and making him a more appealing partner to arabs
So maybe some sort of a deal can be made.
Not a crazy strategy, I have to say. Trump loves the crazy man strategy.

Reporter: You cited $50 million worth of condoms sent to Gaza as fraud, but fact-checking showed it was actually Gaza and Mozambique for HIV prevention.
Musk: First of all, some of the things I say will be incorrect. Nobody is gonna bat 1000.
(Eric Trump repeated this lie—he claimed it was $100 million—last night on Fox News.)He admits he got incorrect information. He can’t fact check everything himself. He won’t bat 1.000 and I agree with him, and we shouldn’t be sending $50M in condoms to any other country when we have $36T in debt.
Musk is very transparent, he’s far from a slick politician, and I think it’s refreshing. Politicians would make something up and not admit they were incorrect.
This is an odd take, because DOGE was put under the Presidential records act, meaning no Freedom of Information requests will be honored. Whatever Musk is up to will be sealed well into the 2030s. There's zero transparency here. And please...Musk posting a tweet about what he's doing is not transparency. There's no independent verification of any of that. If he wanted to be transparent, he'd say "A bunch of my 20-something employees with no security clearance or vetting are accessing government databases and code."

Associated Press:
Today we were informed by the White House that if AP did not align its editorial standards with President Donald Trump’s executive order renaming the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America, AP would be barred from accessing an event in the Oval Office. This afternoon AP’s reporter was blocked from attending an executive order signing.
Weird that the AP refuses to call it the Gulf of America.

Incorrect!
this is such a lie. Biden deported 1.5 million Trump has deported a few thousand at most.
So technically TRUMP is trailing Biden and will be for months.
You're such a dumba$$

about 30% of the federal workforce is vets. This is always ignored as well. They are firing Vets and they don't care.

Thank you President Trump. It is refreshing to have a President that actually cares about all its citizens, not just those who help him politically like Biden.

Trump is meeting with him right now. Biden could never have done this since his bedtime was hours ago and he refused to work past 4pm.

Can you say with a straight face that the Trump/Musk team is more likely than not trying to make the US government work better and more efficiently?
Yes, I can.
Like I said originally, my opinion will fall on deaf ears. Some are speculating on the intent rather than the actions so far.
I spent too much time in this thread. I wish both sides well.
Firing all IGs is an action.
Firing anyone at the FBI and DOJ who does not answer "yes" to "was the 2020 POTUS election stolen?" is an action. Putting a man in charge of finding "waste and fraud" who benefits from billions of dollars in government contracts is an action.
Sorry, but folks are reacting to actions, not just speculating on intentions.

So to clarify, this is a geographic area with with approximately 300,000 people voting in the Presidential election last year. That represents about 0.13% of the adult population in the United States.
This is the comprehensive data that you want to submit as proof to support his hyperbole?

Just watched that Musk (with his kid on his head and then picking his nose) and Trump oval office presser.
How did we get here? It is surreal.
Musk was high as fucq. Nobody has black as the night pupils that are his whole eyes. And what was that rambling about with the mines? HIs answers to the press questions were cartoonish. He claims he has the most transparency of any agency, ever by putting all his findings on the web site but if you visit the Doge.gov web site it is black with nothing. Trump looked like a 90 year old man that needed to be taken to the bathroom by his bed nurse. And when did he get this new Peachish melon color? I have never seen that color on a human being. Is it jaundice? A new line of mascara?
Help me understand. How does American choose this guy to be our dictator to overthrow democracy?

OMg, how sad it must be for you, every day, all day, same sh=t. While Trump gets prisoners out, hostages out, identifies hundreds of billions of fraud and waste.
