Musk better have damn good security. Some serious feathers are being ruffled...

I have said from day one that Trump needs to form a tactical team of the best and most trustworthy special ops guys in the business, and take out any of these secret rogue entities that try to do anything to anyone of Trump's people or Trump himself, no questions asked.

This is hilarious...Obama's actually created the IT office that Trump used as a shell to give DOGE it's authority!  The irony is beautiful!

We knew there was a swamp, but didn't realize the sludge might be a 1000 feet deep.  I don't think there are enough prisons to house every single person who might be complicit/ guilty of Sedition

Ya, they bought half a million dollars of Politico subscriptions. It is how they launder money to their friends and attack their enemies. All with your taxpayer money.

No wonder a lot of the legacy media is surviving.  Our Taxpayer dollars are subsidizing it.

It freaking figures... can't have a BBC show without the same leftist crapola being constantly recycled ... women's vote/rights, abortion/birth control, fair wages, classism, bigotry/racism, war is bad, with a good-guy communist deep-thinker being misunderstood.

Protection Racket Media Update: USAID Funded NY Times, BBC Too

Well, well, well. So much for the value of an "independent press." It turns out that even the most vaunted organizations within that industry covertly sucked at the taxpayer teat while supposedly reporting without fear or favor on the bureaucratic state that supports them. And they did that while the bureaucratic state targeted debate and dissent everywhere else.

Which in the end was a stupid strategic move because they are all permanently cut off and are no longer able to agitate their leftist bilge. They tie everything into the money stream till they are all crack addicts, and you just cut them off.
