The timing of the tariffs was a distraction

[dlk]

Specifically designed to divert everyone’s attention away from Musk’s takeover of the government payment system, as well as government databases, and websites.

Musk is in control now.

15. This was posted on Bluesky

The engineers are Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran. These are the dogeboys. They are the ones helping Musk get into the government systems. They accessed the Social Security payment system.

19. They have posted pics of these techies

On Bluesky, I’d post them for you, but I’m not sure how. If anyone else is on bluesky, they should be easy to find.

2. It's a distraction from a whole lot of shit.

Everything from the last two weeks.

Now he's starting on Panama

10. Don't be shocked

If the invasion is very soon.
But it's been a paranoid kind of day.

11. When the recession starts an invasion will be a priority.

20. Which invasion?

3. If so, it isn't going to work. I also doubt that is the case. This is what the sociopath campaigned on, and his

Treasury Secretary is a full on trade war advocate.

This isn't a distraction, this is what they are.

4. No, it's not a distraction, unless you consider every outrageous act

to be a distraction from every other outrageous act.

7. This one tops the list in my book

5. tsf is a distraction.

The nazi think tank funders have planned this for decades. It's working.

6. A trade war that jeopardizes our economy is not just a distraction

That you may not care about it is your personal view, not a factual statement that it doesn't matter.

[dlk]

8. I'm not minimizing the damage the tariffs will cause

Saying I don’t care is incorrect. Please don’t put words in my mouth. I happen to think the potential for damage with Musk’s control of the treasury’s payment system and other government databases is more serious at this point.

The tariffs could be rescinded tomorrow or next week. When do you think Musk will be removed from the treasury payment system and all the other government databases?

[iemanja]

9. That's a fair point

but that doesn't make the tariffs a distraction. I strongly disagree with that assertion.

12. Yep, if Trump backs down in weeks you know the bigger issue is Enron Musk

[Buddyzbuddy]

13. If you think it's a distraction now,

just wait until the market opens tomorrow. Or worse yet, closes tomorrow. Not wishful thinking just stating the obvious.

14. And there are still some big appointees' confirmations pending...

[jojog]

16. Agreed, but

It is also a grift. Watch to see which industry he backs off on.

[SayItLoud]

17. And we sit and tweet and post and sit.

Some call their reps but the division remains. Dems complain, Repukes are in control. And still we sit in out seats, tweeting, posting and sitting....We need a leadership to get us into the streets! The deep State that the slob screamed was once again projection.

18. Trump's national sales tax

Tariffs against our biggest partners are also idiot's attempt to create a national sales tax and outlaw corporate and income taxes.

I can't even guess how many laws Musk broke with his takeovers. Computer fraud, etc. Trump will likely pardon him and his little minions.
