About those two lies told during the cabinet meeting. Do they matter?

Convenient. Anyone that says something you don’t like is “untrustworthy”.

You live in a bubble.

How does Musk know the funding wasn’t an issue? Did he communicate with anyone doing the work?
Everyone on the left have proven themselves to be untrustworthy. I suppose to you, only Republicans are untrustworthy, yet you don't like it when it is applied to you.

Why don't you ask Musk if the funding wasn't an issue?
 
Actually, he did. This........“So we restored the Ebola prevention immediately. And there was no interruption.”........is a lie.

But I sincerely do appreciate that you made a serious attempt to address the subject. Well done.
There was no interruption as far as Musk is concerned. The funding was restored by the waiver issued by Trump. That's all Musk and DOGE control. They do not control US Aid and their contractors. So if US Aid dismantled their contractors and their contractors refused to go back to work because they did not want to accept the funding, that is not in his control.

Your inability to discern people who know what they’re talking about from people who are “just saying shit” is a problem. Very common problem on the right.

The next most common problem is just not caring.

“The full spectrum — the investments in disease surveillance, the investments in what we mobilize … moving commodities, supporting lab workers — that capacity is now a tenth of what it was,” Bouri said.
Other current and former USAID officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal operations, agreed with Bouri’s assessment.
“There was a waiver for Ebola, but USAID funds have never been back online,” said a current official. “USAID has been frozen: \staff and money.”
“If there was a need to respond to Ebola, it would be a disaster assistance response team, or DART,” said one former official. “There is no longer a capability to send a DART or support one from Washington. Many of those people are contractors who were let go at the very beginning.”
 
Lie #1 came from Elon who said, while explaining mistakes will be made, the aid cut for Ebola prevention was immediately restored.

Musk claims DOGE ‘restored’ Ebola prevention effort. Officials disagree.​

Elon Musk on Wednesday acknowledged that the U.S. DOGE Service “accidentally canceled” efforts by the U.S. Agency for International Development to prevent the spread of Ebola — but the billionaire entrepreneur insisted that the initiative was quickly restored.

“We will make mistakes. We won’t be perfect. But when we make a mistake, we’ll fix it very quickly,” Musk said at a meeting of President Donald Trump’s Cabinet officials, defending his group’s fast-moving approach to canceling federal programs in a bid for cost savings. “So we restored the Ebola prevention immediately. And there was no interruption.”

Yet current and former USAID officials said that Musk was wrong: USAID’s Ebola prevention efforts have been largely halted since Musk and his DOGE allies moved last month to gut the global-assistance agency and freeze its outgoing payments, they said. The teams and contractors that would be deployed to fight an Ebola outbreak have been dismantled, they added. While the Trump administration issued a waiver to allow USAID to respond to an Ebola outbreak in Uganda last month, partner organizations were not promptly paid for their work, and USAID’s own efforts were sharply curtailed compared to past efforts to fight Ebola outbreaks.


Lie #2 came from RFK Jr. He said the 20 patients hospitalized with the measles, while downplaying the outbreak as routine, were there for the purposes of being quarantined.

First measles death reported in Texas as Kennedy downplays the outbreak

Dr. Lara Johnson, a pediatrician and the chief medical officer at Covenant Children’s Hospital in Lubbock, said during a news conference Wednesday afternoon that the patients who were hospitalized were admitted because they were having trouble breathing and needed supportive care such as supplemental oxygen.

"We don’t hospitalize patients for quarantine purposes," Johnson said.

She added that her team has cared for “around 20” kids with measles so far. Several of those patients required intensive care. None of the hospitalized had been vaccinated against measles.


It should be noted that as a special government employee, Musk has no authority to issue directives. He is not only limited to being only in an advisory role, on top of that........."criminal law prevents SGEs (as well as federal workers) from participating in any government matter that could impact their finances. When a conflict arises, SGEs can either recuse themselves from the matter or divest from the relevant financial interest."

In order to get around the law, which is clearly being broken, the WH is pretending someone besides Elon is running the show.

My guess is the lies won't matter until they do. Until RFK and Musk's incompetence break through the onslaught of reporting on the constant chaos being created by this admin every single day. So much so as to render the HHS secretary and co-prez SGE being terrible at their jobs a fact trump supporters just don't give a damn about.
More tantrum please.

trumpworld has created a construct only allowing what they want to believe to be accepted as truth. Everything else is simply dismissed. It's the definition of brainwashing.
 
Stop taking their word for everything. They are lying to you.


The president, with billionaire Elon Musk at his side, asserted that Musk’s U.S. DOGE Service had already identified “tens of billions” of “waste, fraud and abuse.” He suggested it could be as much as $500 billion and “when you get down to it, it’s going to be probably close to a trillion dollars. It could be close to a trillion dollars that we’re going to find.”

The president’s numbers do not come anywhere close to matching figures posted on the DOGE account on X, Musk’s social media site. (DOGE stands for Department of Government Efficiency, though it is not a Cabinet-level agency.) We added up all the figures posted, taking most of them at face value, though virtually no documentation was presented. The numbers add up to about $6 billion a year, though $4 billion comes from a proposed cap on National Institutes of Health research overhead payments to universities, medical centers and other grant recipients. A judge has blocked that for now.

and what makes you think your not being lied to?....

You are stuck in the matrix

Oh, you mean the same officials that DOGE busted who have been lying, cheating and stealing from us?

First measles death reported in Texas as Kennedy downplays the outbreak
Oh, you mean the same Health and Human Services secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who said, “we have measles outbreaks every year"?

"criminal law prevents SGEs (as well as federal workers) from participating in any government matter that could impact their finances.
But half the democrats in Washington do that including the Bidens, the Obummas, the Clintons and the Pelosis, among a thousand others.

My guess is the lies won't matter until they do.
TRANSLATION: Trump is kicking leftist heinie.
 
Oh, you mean the same Health and Human Services secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who said, “we have measles outbreaks every year"?
The same RFK Jr that doesn’t seem to understand that outbreaks are linked to low vaccination rates.

Because he’s that fucking stupid.

More people are learning every day to ignore your lies.
 
and what makes you think your not being lied to?....
The factual record. Like the examples I gave. RFK lied when he said those 20 patients are being quarantined. Musk lied when he said Ebola prevention aid was uninterrupted. Those are the facts.

the factual record?...democrats dont lie to us?....they lied about biden for at least the last year or so....is that factual?....
 
Interesting that so many in politics, the media and the country at large are more upset with the man finding the waste, fraud and abuse in these agencies than the waste, fraud and abuse it’s self. The reactions show who is actually concerned about it and who just gives it lip service when it’s politically convenient for them to do so.
 
An honest answer please. If two Biden cabinet members told overt lies on health issues during a meeting would it be worthy of attention?
Fer Christ sake, everyone that came withing 20 feet of Biden lied about health issues, especially Biden's health issues.
