Elon is KILLING people

[jmbar2]

This needs to be repeated over and over. Every protest should have signs that spell this out starkly. He is a madman.

1. Real pro-lifer, hu?

[jmbar2]

2. Where are all the Moms for Liberty, street protesters standing up to "Protect the Children"?

The library censors, book banners, bathroom genital inspectors?

[Takket]

13. They are too busy trying to look at kids genitals as they enter the bathroom to care.

[Lovie777]

3. Also the blame circles the republican party......................

the whole lot of them, from shithole musk on down.

[jmbar2]

4. Absolutely

Need pickets around Republican offices.

NYT Opinion / Nicholas Kristof - The World’s Richest Men Take On the World’s Poorest Children (Gift Link)

Opinion



The world’s richest man is boasting about destroying the United States Agency for International Development, which saves the lives of the world’s poorest children, saying he shoved it “into the wood chipper.”

By my calculations, Elon Musk probably has a net worth greater than that of the poorest billion people on Earth. Just since Donald Trump’s election, Musk’s personal net worth has grown by far more than the entire annual budget of U.S.A.I.D., which in any case accounts for less than 1 percent of the federal budget. It’s callous for gleeful billionaires like Musk and President Trump to cut children off from medicine, but, as President John F. Kennedy pointed out when he proposed the creation of the agency in 1961, it’s also myopic.

Cutting aid, Kennedy noted, “would be disastrous and, in the long run, more expensive.” He added: “Our own security would be endangered and our prosperity imperiled.”

Perhaps that’s why Russia has praised Trump’s move.

In contrast with Kennedy, the Trump administration braids together cruelty, ignorance and shortsightedness, and that combination seems particularly evident in its assault on American humanitarian assistance.

6. Thanks Dennis

22. +1

7. Musk is a one-man "immigrant crime wave"

[liberalgunwilltravel]

8. If only

he would kill himself.

[LymphocyteLover]

9. That tweet really understates the problem. Not sure why he doesn't point out that Musk is a KILLER

PEOPLE HAVE DIED BECAUSE OF USAID BEING SHUTDOWN

[ReRe]

10. K&R

It's not just Elon.

It's Republicans! They. Are. Wicked. All of them. In the WH and in the Congress.

Evil does exist and it has swallowed the Republican Party in the United States whole.

This will not stand. There are more good people than bad in this country and they are going to rise up

[MiHale]

11. He's after us now!...

His killing knows no bounds.

[mishi48.59]

12. If he is an unelected bureaucrat

doing things that are illegal, can he be sued? He's essentially ransacking the government and being granted gov. contracts left and right. It's highway robbery.

14. #EvilMusk

USAID is over party at his place.

[GiqueCee]

15. When any mention is made of Musk...

... I am reminded of Vincent D'Onofrio's brilliant portrayal in the movie, Men In Black, of a giant bug in a man suit. Musk is a malevolent cockroach in a man suit. Like Trump, he has no discernible redeeming qualities whatsoever. And now, he shows us all his utter contempt for humanity by deliberately attacking the weakest and neediest of all of us, just like every other cowardly bully that Satan ever shat out. It should be noted that the weakest and neediest are almost always the victims of greedy corporatists who put profits over the lives of others; others who are not deemed worthy of their concern because they're not rich, they're just in the way.
Musk has GOT to be be taken down, if not out, altogether. And ya don't bring a butter knife to a gunfight. These evil fucks are running roughshod over the Rule of Law, and those who could take him down are, instead, beshitting themselves over what the polls might say about them. For once in your sniveling, self-centered lives, do what's best for your fellow Americans, not what's best for your reelection prospects.
Now is when we really need Jack Smith in his white hat to start kicking ass in steel-toed boots, and taking names written in blood.
These psychotic monsters aren't going down without a fight, and it will be bad. If you don't have the stomach for it, get out of the way, and shut the fuck up.

17. If we wait much longer Elon will be given immunity by the SC.

[GiqueCee]

20. That shit-weasel...

... Alito is probably drafting a ruling even as we speak.

[rubbersole]

23. Or Justice Ginni.

[GiqueCee]

25. I read recently that she declined to endorse...

... one of the Court's more divisive opinions germane to our current situation. I'd have to do a deeper dive to establish the facts of that, however. That crew usually moves in lockstep with the senior author of any given opinion, I think.

[rubbersole]

29. Harlan Crow and Leonard Leo must have had some 'concerns'.

[GiqueCee]

30. Those two...

... and all their cronies, might want to visit a tactical tailor for some bullet-proof bloomers. Project 2025 is going to blow up in their faces. Invitations for their next picnic should feature that photo of Il Duce hanging from a gas station sign.

These psychotic creeps would have more money than God even if they paid taxes at a rate commensurate with their income, which they do not. And yet, they just can't resist fucking over people who have no defense against their unmitigated evil, and they do it just for the fun of it. Have any of them ever done anything good? Is there a single Musk charity? A Bezos hospital wing for children? A Zuckerberg bake sale for disadvantaged poodles?

16. Dishonorable Mention...

Let's not forget the countless hardworking Americans who are under the added mental stress and strain of uncertainty as this s**tshow of madness threatens their livelihoods for no other reason than a glorified gamer's sick, twisted fantasy.

18. I was thinking the same this morning

I track labor market trends (hangover from previous life). It has never been harder and more grueling to get a job than it is today. Employers are putting people through a demeaning gauntlet, and people talk about submitting hundreds of resumes with no results.

Even if they do get a job, pay and working conditions have deteriorated significantly. Tech companies are also having a lot of layoffs, making it more miserable.

My heart goes out to all of those civil servants now dumped into this labor market.

[Justice matters.]

21. And don't forget the convicted golfer on the taxpayers' credit card...

who also charges the hundreds of agents to stay at his sh*thole.

That felon needs his bo$$ $WASTiMusKKKA $$$$$$$$ to pay his NY victims soon...

He looked small and totally subservient next to his sick boss in the Oval Office... very small...

[rubbersole]

24. He did.

I felt sorry...for our country.

[MaineNative]

19. I am not sure it's in need of "major" reforms.

I was listening to Rebel HQ this morning. The host played a clip of former USAID Administrator under Shrub Andrew Natsios, and I learned that USAID was ranked third among the best-managed government agencies. USAID doesn't get to decide where the money goes since that is Congress's and the OMBs job.

The current administration is very good at taking the lead to push us back on our heels. We seem to always start from a defensive position. The DNC needs to come out NOW, and SWINGING.

26. MagaPublican Party

Is right there with him. Everyday Mike Johnson - the Speaker of the House representing the MagaPublican Party does not take back the power of the purse -

The MagaPublicans kill people.

[QED]

27. He. Does. Not. Care.

He doesn't see them as worthy of consideration or as humans. They are just collateral damage to his megalomaniacal schemes.

[jmbar2]

28. Need to make him toxic to maga, republicans, and xtian nationalists

No sugarcoating what he's doing.
