I'm sure these billionaires have the best interest of the working class in mind, and won't use their positions to enact policies that increase their wealth at the expense of the American people, right?

These horrible billionaires are doing a pretty good job of exposing how taxpayer money has been laundered for enriching Uniparty big shots and for subverting legitimate elections in foreign countries that we profess to be help8ng.
That must be upsetting to both wings of the Uniparty.
The Uniparty’s new mantra is ‘We Must Protect This Waste.’

Biden admin has planted the bombs by which slight changes in economic conditions may cause a huge correction in the stock market.
After starting quickly to put our economy in a precarious spot, he accelerated the madness in 2024.
Typically, government spending (a common tactic used in a flaccid economy), printing of each dollar of new money creates corresponding GDP growth of one dollar.
Biden, 8n 2024, had govt spending of ~$3 for every ~$1 of GDP.
This was whacked out madness, but accomplished the political bjective - kept the economy’s bubble from being burst before the election.
Uniparty partisans are either too economically ignorant to understand that this kind of spending is unsustainable -or- so sociopathic that rejoicing at the collapse of the economy when their political ‘enemy’ can be speciously be blamed is worth the misery that befalls normal Americans.

But please - continue on with your boring, overplayed Marxist-like trope of how the rich hate the proletariat. While you are at it - be sure to tell us how things are much better when we have a bunch of committed DC swamp politicos, DEI hires, and life-long academics running our Government...

I agree with you, but the point that some are making is that Trump isn't really worried about the common man and the things that he will do will lean towards helping the wealthy. Trickle down.

on TNet. I don't know what's in Trump's heart or his head but if nothing else he is taking a baseball bat to the conventional DC establishment wisdom. So far so good and we will see how his non-conventional DC approach works.
What I do know is that the credentialed elites and professional political class have had decades of complete control of the DC Swamp Ecosystem. Just about everything the DC Swamp does is in their own interests and the wealthy donors that feed that Ecosystem. Sure - they pretend to care about the common man but the reality is they don't give a ratsazz about the common folk because us commoners don't fill their campaign coffers.
The expression - "poor people don't create jobs" is very true. Like it or not - we need the people that have money (i.e. the "rich") to invest their money in businesses and business ventures in order to provide the fuel for economic growth. Call me a cold-hearted Reagonite if you wish but a reasonable amount of trickle down policies are absolutely required if we want our economy grow in a manner that benefits everyone.

chamber. My Christian beliefs have certainly not been attacked and the policies the working class folk I know are all very happy with the way things are going so far. The military vet community and active duty folks I know are all ecstatic with the ripping up of DEI and the focus towards reestablishing the warrior ethos and warfighting as the top DoD imperative.
As far as nominating "unqalified" people... We've seen what the "qualified" DC credentialed/expert class has gotten us. Take for example Alejandro Mayorkas who by every DC Swamp measure is considered a perfectly experienced, qualified person to run DHS. He was a former US Attorney, the USCIS Director and a former Deputy Secretary of DHS. He met all the DC Swamp checks for service in Government. Yet all that DC Swamp preferred experience yielded the most disastrously run DHS and border enforcement we have had in the modern age. Credentialed elites, DC Swamp politicos, and the academic "expert" class have been in charge for decades and given us a Government that is wasteful, bloated, incompetently run, and is spending us into oblivion.
"Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results". Nominating and installing the same old recycled Republican and Democratic DC Swamp creatures preferred by the DC Ecosystem is the very epitome of that quote. I for one will give Trump's cabinet of outsiders that the DC Swamp and their sycophants abhor and consider "unqualified" a chance because they sure as he.ll can't do any worse than those DC "qualified experts" over the last 30 years.

How you can say in the same sentence that you're ecstatic for "ripping up DEI" when that's exactly what just happened with Pete Hegseth's nomination and confirmation is next level. The whole complaint with DEI is that it puts people who aren't qualified or deserving (over those who are) in places of power which is exactly what happened with Pete. Even you can't deny that there are other more qualified and deserving people for that job and that he only got the nomination for "external" reasons.
It's absurd, but it's expected. Do me a favor and ask how your military "community" likes the news that Hegseth is now going after General Milley. I'd be interested to see just how far down the rabbit hole the propaganda goes. I'm expecting it goes pretty deep.
The fact you don't think the people Trump is instilling are any different than the so-called "swamp" or that they can't do worse shows just how unserious you and the other MAGAs are. Just look at the freeze on federal spending that is causing chaos (and concerns about people getting their Medicaid/food stamps/stopping aid to veteran programs), or how Trump's frozen NIH research for reviews causing cancer research to be delayed, or how the chaos over the incompetently written DEI reviews caused the Tuskegee airmen history to be removed from training at the Air Force. You can go on and on with the incompetency in which his term has started. Surprisingly, egg prices are currently at their highest ever but hey, who cares when Trump's going after things that really matter like DEI.
And he hasn't been President for a month yet, so yeah things can (and will) get worse and to believe they won't or can't, is insane.

far from making one "qualified" for running a Government department. Just because you and your leftist friends say Hegseth is "unqualified" certainly does not mean it is true.
Secretary Hegseth has more military experience, combat experience, and attained a higher military rank than former SECDEFS Cheney, Aspin, Perry, Cohen, Rumsfeld, Gates, Hagel, and Carter - and that is just since 1989. Admittedly what Hegseth doesn't have as opposed to those former SECDEFs is leadership skills honed by Pentagon group-think careerists, the experience of being a career politician, or a MIC board member whose interests have been to extract as much money out of the taxpayer as possible.
So apparently the "qualified" narrative you are parroting has more to do with years of glad handing and backstabbing through life as a career Government bureaucrat or politico - somehow that is "qaulifying". What utter horseshid. But hey - at least Hegseth as two Ivy League degrees that the DC Swamp seems to love so I imagine he's smart enough to understand the complexities of the DoD bureaucracy.
As opposed to you - I actually served in the same unit with Milley. We were both field grades at the time - Milley was a Lieutenant Colonel and I was a Major. Back then we all held Milley in high regard - he was a knuckle dragging warrior in those days. Apparently the GO club ripped his bawls off because Milley wholeheartedly embraced a DEI woke military culture that he knew to be antithetical to the warrior ethos.
Most of the guys I know look at Milley as just another Senior Leader sellout who ultimately cared more about pleasing the Swamp and cementing his own place in the GO club than looking out for the warriors he was supposed to be leading. So if the SECDEF wants the IG to review his behavior as the ACoS and CJCS - have at it. If Milley served with honor and did nothing wrong then I'm sure the IG will find such and Milley will keep his retired rank.

You literally served with Milley and held him in high regard but because of the nonsense attacks about DEI, you now see him as a sellout and embrace a "no leadership" level Trump sycophant who attacks Milley not because of his DEI stance but because Milley saw his duty to the country over Trump. Sad thing is you can't even see the reality of the hypocrisy and irony because your brain has been so cooked by MAGA propaganda. Our conversations on religion and now this only reconfirms to me the sorrow and danger where even guys like you, who are patriots and intelligent, can be so removed from reality.

Goodness, you are a disgrace to this country. This is the problem with professional military and why our founders were opposed to it. You end up believing your duty and loyalty are to each other (and the occasional would-be dictator) instead of to the civilian government, constitution, and citizens. There is a reason the secretary of defense cannot be in the military and must have left any military service seven years prior (without a congressional waiver). This is a big part of that reason. The founders never wanted a d-bag like Hegseth in that position or its equivalent. They might not have minded the rapes though.

DEI is the philosophy in which a person’s immutable characteristics are (in theory) co-equal to merit based criteria.
The immutable characteristics of a normal white male that has no handicaps such as dwarfism, blindness, deafness, mental retardation, serious psychological disorders, chemical based self-mutilation, surgery based self-mutilation, and undoubtedly a few others does not qualify for DEI advantages.
Pete Hegseth is not a DEI hire.
Lloyd Austin, after going AWOL at least three times as Secretary of Defense, should have been fired for gross misconduct. He was protected by Biden’s handlers either because he is black or a suck-up to his political masters. His immutable characteristic probably saved his job for him.

He exposed CA’s politicians for their terrible decisions to ignore the availability of water is some regions of California so that dryer regions of CA would be better prepared to handle disasters.
Trump’s statements about bringing water from NoCal to SoCal served their purpose. Californians now know that they can’t rely on a US president to save them from their stupid political choices. Instead, the Californians themselves now realize that they themselves must make smarter political decisions. CA’s governor and state Legislators are now on notice.
MAGA mission accomplished.
Nit-picking nuances are pretty much all the TDSers have left.

Actions speak louder than tropes.
Trump is working his rear end off to root out corruption and waste within the government.
This helps the ‘common man’ more than those tired bromides from the Uniparty that got those ‘caring’ guys elected and then just make the waste & corruption worse.
I know, I know, it’s all about the messaging. Messaging is what really matters. Will you be my friend now?

Tell us how milli9ns of multi-millionaires who hardly ever worked in either a government job or a NGO made their money?
Guess how much money these blood sucking leeches off Deep State largess pay much income tax?
I’ll help you out: Very little … because their taxable income is minimized in accordance with IRS rules.
All of the truly rich people (from multi-millionaires on up) pay high priced tax lawyers to do their taxes for them. These same tax lawyers get their clients to move their money into tax shelters that the federal government had set up for their rich friends.
Kamala’s ‘raise taxes on the rich’ campaign promise is just that same old tired trope that keeps on fooling the ignoramus social justice warriors.

I know you are completely ignorant, but that’s not an excuse here. You can easily research how much the taxes of the top 1% dropped with Trump’s giveaway in 2017.

So this is the foundation for your belief that Kamala was going to raise taxes on all billionaires?
Kamala was surely going to target those enemies of the Democrat party with attacks by the IRS, I’ll grant you that. But her ‘mark to market’ plan to ‘tax the rich’ was utterly insane. No persona with money other than cash heavy liquid assets would go along with that. Furthermore, since the governmentbwouod have been the arbiter as far as ‘market value’ of non-realized appr3ciated assets, then the Demicrat billionaires would get favorable appraisals in order to minimize their ‘mark to market’ tax burden.
Team Biden Kamala had great expertise in arbitrary application of the law. Even Trump hater Bill Barr had to admit that Biden Harris were already a serious danger to America’s legal system. Yeah, she would have raised taxes mightily on wealthy people who she deemed as not in line with her political objectives.

Kamala said nothing came to mind that she would do differently than Joe. Being a billionaire whether under Trump or Biden has been a good gig.
Taxing unrealized gains even on the uber rich as Joe and Kamala floated is BS, much as are massive tarriffs proposed by Trump. Both are unnecessary and counterproductive.
In the past election, billionaires preferred Harris over Trump in a major way, so all this heat over oligarchs is just more mush from Biden on his way out the door.
Dr Blow is a good one. LOL. Mood stabilizers can be your friend.

No surprises.
He’s deregulating and eliminating substantial portions of the government and in many cases he will hand the keys to one of his donors. This will play out just like the Russian oligarchs that were beneficiaries of “privatization” in the early 90s.
You want an example? Crypto. Deregulate it. Stack the deck in your favor. Own the market.
Trump will be worth hundreds of billions when he leaves office.
Suk on that you maga clowns. He’s not coming to your farm or your shop to help you out. He’s gonna fleece the USA like you’ve never seen before.

You’re right in that most Americans don’t care about color or sex as evidenced by the recent election. But a big chunk seem to not care unless it’s a white while. In that case white man bad bad. That’s what the democrats have fed us relentlessly and now America had rejected them. They better wise up fast because that ship has sailed and they are still standing on the shore screaming wokeness.

No. It's false because it's false. There's no program in America specifically for white males. There's a bazillion for everyone else. White males are the only group of people no one cares about at all. I'm fine with that because I don't care and don't need some group to advocate for me, because I'm not a weak person who finds excuses for everything in my life. It's just funny how people will say "don't speak in generalities because people aren't all the same and then say something like that, generalizing.

I'm sure that's 1000 times better than bartenders and career politicians that are rich off of 165k a year.
They're all rich, is just that these people understand how economies work.

Yet, neither one will have made their money via grifting off of federal government money or via insider trading.
Musk and Trump sell products. The American public can buy what they’re selling, or not.
The ‘I make my money via govt work or NGO work’ crowd, which represents most elected officials, high ranking agency officers, and NGOs that make their money by ‘providing services’ to the federal govt sure as heck don’t make their money via their salaries. There are thousands and thousands of in-government, no-longer-in-government, and NGO executive managers that have made their multi-millions of net worth via grifting ans selling secrets to private entities.
These are the true crooks. The American public is, in effect, are not paying these people of their free will. They’re coerced into paying taxes, a good chunk of which goes to the thieves in / associated-with government employees.
The intensity of your complaints makes me wonder whether you are making a cozy living working either in government, a NGO, a university that gets significant funding via their salaries federal govt, or the public school system (teachers’ Union).

Government subsidies and then tax credits are the reasons behind Tesla’s success. They wouldn’t have survived through the great recession without help.

The government’s subsidies to Elon were done in broad daylight. Full transparency.
The grift that the Uniparty has arranged bia money laundering government organizations has been meticulously concealed.
Now that DOGE has outed how the grifters in the bureaucracy, political ranks,selected media entities, and NGOs have enriched themselves, Elon must be portrayed as the biggest thief EVER by the grifters in their desperate hope that the spotlight on them will be turned off.
Turn out the lights, the party’s over.

Tesla is working hard in efficiencies in both technology and operations.
They plan on having a Tesla model reach the market in ~ 5 years that will cost (in 2025 dollars) about $15,000.
If Ford or GM ever pulled that off, it would be a sign of the Apocalypse.
