When Bill Clinton was the President he reduced the number of federal employees by nearly 250,000. What, are you kidding me. He was actually the first DOGE.

Who knew? Who remembered? No daily protests back then. Nobody was melting down. So, he was trimming the fat back then and nobody wanted to impeach him or call him a dictator.

There was no X and we had to wait to be programmed on the nightly news with the Tom Brokaw’s of the media.

Fairly sure that was what the celebratory cigar was for.

Maybe, maybe not. It depends on what the definition of what is is.

Could you imagine a tell all book written by President Clinton's secret service detail. It might be a best seller.

Monica should write one.  That would be a best seller too

This was mostly if not all military, right? If so, that's great and most liberals are good w reductions in our fat bloated military. President Musk won't do that though. He's a military contractor himself.

Stop calling him president. You think he took over the government etc.   consider these 

• Supreme Leader
• Generalissimo
• Grand Marshal
• Eternal President
• Chairman
• Dear Leader

PROVE IT!!!

He can't.   He believes that if he says it, it must be fact.   He never substantiates what he says.

Looks like VERY different processes. One worked with congress and did it strategically over time. The other is dictatorial, drastic, and not putting as much thought into it. 

Looks like these weren't necessarily mostly military. I know he cut military though.

Thank you for admitting you were wrong based on the proof you thought would prove you right.   Takes a big man to post that.

Yah, it was still very different. He didn't violate the constitution and he did it methodically and fairly.

Maybe if all of us use your response he will finally get it. Maybe. Have a good reasonable discussion is healthy. Having One Flew Over the Cuckoo Nests Topics 3 times a day is a little crazy.

Clinton was a fiscal conservative.  He also believed in traditional marriage, let's not get into his beliefs in cheating.  No self respecting democrat would vote for him today.  

[Scouts Honor]

im so proud of the first black president 

[RockLobster]

If we had to pick between a 3rd term President in Trump and a migrant President in Musk. Which would you choose?

Both are ineligible due to the Constitution and such. True Patriots wouldn't allow it. Lawyers wouldn't either.

But - that being said - you MAGA idiots, and pathetic January 6thers, would you choose Trump or Musk?

Serious question. You six-fingered banjo players don't enough press around here. Now's your chance. Get 'it.

Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be torn down. Who's gonna do it? You? You, maga idiots? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Laken Riley, and you curse the Democrats and illegals. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know -- that Laken's death, while tragic, makes our country better; and diversity, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, makes our country stronger.

You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want those criminals roaming your country -- you need them roaming your country 

[Scouts Honor]

love me some vance

NICE.  Movie drops (nicely modified here) from A Few Good Men are great.

 

Off topic but a great parody of the A Few Good Men speech (fast forward to :40 to avoid an extensive music prelude)
