He can't increase space x funding etc. He can only find them not inefficient and leave them alone. Congress has the purse strings. You guys are all Chicken Littles running around saying the sky is falling or gonna fall if Musk is able to identify wasteful and inefficient spending but saves his own funding. I'd say that not a bad bargain. The money will be spent if he does nothing. The money might be saved if he does something. Objectively, which is better? mspart

Just wondering. Did she get disappeared or what? mspart

Yep, this will be investigated I'm sure and there will be firings as there well should be. mspart

Why him? What does he have to offer? mspart

Yeah, I'm not for this one. Just saw it on The Hill. mspart

So how has the office that already exists been doing? Apparently not very well as we are trillions in debt. Maybe a new approach is needed as they seem ineffective. See what I did there? Called them ineffective while Musk is looking for inefficiencies? Your newly found awesome department might be at the top of the list. mspart

So doing nothing is preferable to doing something? I think your issue is with Trump and who he chooses, not with the effort itself. But if it is with the effort itself, it wouldn't matter who is doing this as far as you are concerned. mspart

That doesn't answer the question. Is cutting no fat better than cutting fat? mspart

So what if they identify and eliminate all the waste except for space x and tesla stuff. Is that still bad? mspart

Agreed. mspart

He loves mexican food!! mspart

Why? The fired individual says she is the scapegoat. That this direction came from higher up. This will be investigated I hope. mspart

Perhaps we do. Xeet sounds stupid. Cheap copy. Disclaimer: No on X, was not on Twitter. Not on facebook, tiktok, instagram, you get the picture. mspart

So make fun of the execution with 2 people. But the idea is obviously a good idea. Plus 2 people should be able to identify more than 1 person could in the given time frame. Perhaps it is a good idea to have 2 people working this. mspart

https://thehill.com/homenews/house/4987984-house-senate-republicans-leadership-election/ 27 minutes ago Thune after being elected leader: Senate Republicans 'united behind President Trump's agenda' Thune said he is “extremely honored” to be selected Senate GOP leader. “I am beyond proud of the work we have done to secure our majority and the White House,” he added. “This Republican team is united behind President Trump’s agenda, and our work starts today.” Not sure why this is a deal. Trump gets what he wants. mspart

Agreed. mspart

You just did it again RL. You're a funny crustacean. mspart

But the question is if Fox, AM radio, and Rogan represent mainstream news? That is the proposition RV is putting out there. I agree, Fox is much more viable in this than the others. mspart

What is Xeet? mspart

I believe they work 32 hours and get paid for 40 hours. Nice deal. It won't take long for San Juan Island county to run out of money. I think they did this a year or two ago. The San Juan Islands are pretty cool and a great place to decompress. mspart

It may be funny that it takes 2 people to find inefficiencies. But what if they do? There has never been a serious effort such as this to find wasteful spending and innefficiencies. What if they are successful? Would that be a bad thing? What is the real problem here? mspart

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/house/3226732/jayapal-admits-nuke-filibuster-democrats-controlled-senate/#google_vignette Jayapal admits she only wanted to nuke filibuster when Democrats controlled Senate “Look, I think this is where it goes back to before this election, right? If we had had control of the trifecta and got rid of the filibuster to pass minimum wage, to pass paid sick leave, to pass many of these things that are passing abortion access, that are passing on ballot measures that are so popular, those aren’t going to the state legislatures, either, those are going to the ballot, then I think we would have built some trust with the American people,” she said. “I don’t think it’s in opposition at all. I think, obviously, would I be, am I championing getting rid of the filibuster now, when the Senate has the trifecta?” Jayapal continued. “No, but had we had the trifecta, I would have been because we have to show that government can deliver.” In other words, it is good if it can be done my way. Bad if not. Does she want it now? No. This getting rid of the filibuster is not a principled decision, it is a decision of expediency. The reason it is there is to that the Senate does not turn into the House. The Senate should be more deliberative and they should be able to compromise on topics rather than not. That is why they are there. Give me a break. Pramilla just showed how surpufluous her ideas are. mspart

Great Calendar. Congrats Ionel. mspart

John Kerry? mspart

I think that when identifying mainstream news, it is silly to say Rogan is mainstream because nobody says, it was on Rogan's podcast so it must be correct news. Same with AM radio. Fox may be different but those that are on the left will dismiss anything found on Fox just like some here dismiss anything found on tiktok. Who does everyone in the US think of when you say mainstream media? ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, PBS, MSNBC, CNBC, NYT, WAPO, LATimes. Very few will think of FOX, Rogan, or AM radio. mspart
