President Trump: Making America Normal Again

Musk has no power to close down US AID. But he does have the power audit and recommend.

Show your evidence that shutting down USAID, an agency within a much larger Agency, will prevent the USA from doing anything that is appropriate for the USA to be doing.

Question: Do you approve of those cash outlays listed in Post #556?
I just put out an OP called "Garbage Delivery" that answers your question.
 
excalibur 's excellent thread deserves a mention in this one.

 
Also the Democrats are now targeting Elon Musk with accusations of DOGE being a conflict of interest since Musk's companies have received government money.

Tesla along with other EV manufacturers has received billions in tax credits, subsidies etc. almost all under Obama and Biden. In addition Space X partners with NASA and that has involved billions in contracts.

Musk cannot be faulted for taking advantage of what the government throws at him but he is good with ending government subsidies of all kinds for EVs. But he also will step away and not listen in on or participate in any discussions of ending those tax credits, subsidies, or other monetary government benefits for EVs or Space X.

As the only private firm in the world doing space exploration and capable of sending astronauts into space, Space X can do what the U.S. government no longer does. As the USA, shortsightedly perhaps, cut back on its own manned space program, Elon cannot be faulted for being paid when the U.S. needs his rockets and space travel capabilities to do what it no longer does. For instance the USA has no way to retrieve the two astronauts stranded at the Space Station and Space X has been contracted to go get them. Space X cannot be expected to do that without compensation. It is far cheaper for the U.S. to pay Space X for necessary space functions than it is to maintain their own facilities to do that.

Also he is taking no salary as head of DOGE. The man is worth more than 400 billion and is listed as the richest man in the world. How much conflict of interest could he have?

You want to see what absolute leftwing looney insanity looks like? Trump will be in power for four years. But this nutcase permanent sterilizes herself because he is President? (Of course she probably planned to do it anyway and is using that for propaganda purposes, but who knows?)

 
I generally don't post memes in place of other content, but this one was just too good not to post:

Is there any President in our entire history who has a better track record than that?

Credit BrokeLoser for posting this in the Super Bowl ad thread. I commented there that it proportionately probably isn't true, but nevertheless it is brilliant.

Elon Musk is reported to be spending millions of his own money for a DOGE ad listing the corruption and careless/malfeasant spending in the federal government so far.

Knowing that, who among you who will be watching the Super Bowl won't be watching for that ad? :)

In case anybody actually cares, its Philly 24 KC 0 at the half. Taylor Swift was booed by the crowd when she came in, President Trump, the first ever sitting POTUS to attend a Super Bowl game, was cheered by the crowd.

I don't think it a good thing Taylor was booed, but it's a very good thing that the President was cheered.
 
Rasmussen polls are pretty interesting these days:

55% of voters approve of DOGE
"Most voters like President Donald Trump’s decision to put Elon Musk in charge of his cost-cutting Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). And they like the new agency’s mission even more than they like Musk – or Trump, for that matter.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 55% of Likely U.S. Voters approve of Musk being in charge of DOGE, which is assigned to find waste, fraud and abuse in the federal government. That includes 38% who Strongly Approve. Forty-five percent (45%) disapprove of Musk running DOGE, including 37% who Strongly Disapprove. (To see survey question wording, click here.)"

The only difference between Obama's equivalent of DOGE and Trump/Musk DOGE is that Trump intends to actually do something about government inefficiency, ineffectiveness, waste and fraud. In my opinion all Americans should see that as a good thing and not something to disparage.

***********************************

In another poll a smaller percentage wanted to revise the Constitution so Trump could run for a third term. 50% of voters believe he would win a third term if that happened. (A sizable majority did not want us to revise the Constitution to allow that though.)

********************************

"The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Wednesday shows that 53% of Likely U.S. Voters approve of President Trump’s job performance. Forty-six percent (45%) disapprove."

And those numbers have been slowly but steadily increasing as more and more people get past the MSM/legacy media and find out what he is actually getting done.
 
I think the full Senate vote to confirm Kash Patel is today. Fingers cross that it will confirm.

The opposition this morning was overwhelming LOL:
 
So here's a U.S. Senator putting out disinformation on the HUD audit. After months of exceedingly frustrating dealings with HUD and seeing migrants getting subsidized housing while poor and deserving U.S. citizens languish on long waiting lists, I am convinced this agency also needs a thorough audit and housecleaning.

Ben Carson started that process in 2019 but COVID pretty much shut down much of the government in 2020 along with everything else. The Biden Administration gave preference to non citizens over citizens in far too many areas:
 
15th post
And in the interest of making America normal again, Tony Evers, governor of Wisconsin, is backing a bill that would remove all gender based words from the government--no more husband or wife but spouse, no more brother or sister but sibling.

And 'mother' will now be 'inseminated person.'

You can't make up this kind of insanity. God help us all.

According to the Far Right. Normal to them means chaos
