FoggyLake's JournalTariffs are the tool of extortion
Jen Psaki recently did a piece about how the tariff "negotiations" are actually a shakedown. Apparently, Trump will reduce or remove tariffs if countries sign up with Starlink. Trump and Musk likely planned this together from the beginning. The corruption is breathtaking.
I can't find the Psaki video online, but here is a brief youtube video explainer:

John Stewart reveals where the cuts should come from
Why are they hurting Americans while giving billions of dollars in subsidies to oil companies (and Musk-owned companies) who already rake in billions in profits?? WHY??? I wish someone would ask this on camera of Trump or Musk or any Rethug rep.
Elon Musk wins new government contract

Concern over Elon Musk's increasing power in Washington, D.C. is growing rapidly now that the Federal Aviation Administration plans to use the billionaire's SpaceXs Starlink to upgrade its networks.
The news comes as Musk's Department of Government Efficiency plans to make staffing cuts at the FAA, which has many observers crying foul. This isn't Musk's first potential conflict of interest, however. There's plenty of government interplay with Musk's other companies, including Tesla, Neuralink, and SpaceX.

But there's no conflict of interest.
This simple cartoon clearly explains Trump's current position on Ukraine.

Trump Quietly Plans To Liquidate Public Lands To Finance His Sovereign Wealth Fund
(snip)
President Donald Trumps executive order to create a sovereign wealth fund requires that the United States come up with heaps of cash quickly, which may make selling out and selling off public lands irresistible.
On February 3, 2025, President Donald Trump signed an executive order to create a sovereign wealth fund (SWF), saying the United States will have one of the largest funds in the world. That requires raising trillions of dollars very quickly. For context, Norways fund is currently worth $1.8 trillion U.S. dollars. Sovereign wealth funds are typically financed with surplus revenue from trade or natural resource development. Given that the United States is roughly $36 trillion in debt, experts question where the money would come from. The Trump administration seems to be signaling that selling out and selling off the nations public lands to the highest bidder might provide the necessary funding.

Oh no. We're in real trouble now.

Donald Trump is a Cuck to Musk (Cusk?).
Musk bought Trump for $300 million~ and Donnie is doing exactly what they planned together (but mostly Musk because Donnie doesn't have the aptitude). Donnie is tasked with saying and doing crazy shit to keep us distracted while Musk dismantles our government.
What's in it for Musk that was worth $300 million? Power via AI. He wants to fire all government workers so that HIS AI algorithm can run our country. He'll be the only one who understands it, so guess who will be in charge? MUSK. And I am confident that it will be set to benefit him and his cronies (including Trump) and to punish their "enemies."
And as Musk's child parroted during an interview with Tucker Carlson: "We quietly do what we want."
