They're casting out anyone who is not white & born American.. In 1930s/40s Germany that was done under the guise "For the Glory of the Reich", today in America it's "For the Glory of the Rich", an 'e' missing doesn't matter, fascism is fascism.. People seem to not realise that all it would take is the removal of DT & Musk to stop ALL OF THIS in an instant (Yes! it could all then be abolished). Get to it!

Helpful animated graphics showing Doge's mistakes and lies.

"debuted a website last month... the list has undergone dizzying changes. New contracts have been added, others deleted. Values have been altered, and altered again...

more than 2,200 contracts listed — or 40% of the total — show a savings value of $0"

Headline and text from article: Headline: See How Elon Musk’s Team Inflated, Deleted and Rewrote Its Savings Claims By Ethan Singer and Emily Badger Published March 13, 2025 Updated March 14, 2025, 10:04 a.m. ET Text: Elon Musk’s cost-cutting team debuted a website last month cataloging the contracts the group says it has canceled to save taxpayers money. Since then, the list has undergone dizzying changes. New contracts have been added, others deleted. Values have been altered, and altered again. The changes tell a story of how the Musk team, known as the Department of Government Efficiency, operates.

It is a given that Sturgeon will always be 'under investigation' and the bulk of the 'British' media will report it as such without question. How long can the 'establishment' keep up this farce? If there was any concern or urgency this would have been investigated and reported competently. However it is clearly in the interests of the state to keep this in the news.

Making DOGE Cuts Permanent Is Easier Said Than Done

Plus: #GOP town halls are scarce these days.
thebulwark.com/p/making-doge-c

"The prospect of ending these far-reaching programs—like #PEPFAR and, on a much larger scale, the foreign aid administered by the #USAID—remains distant. Beyond that, #DOGE ’s haphazard cuts are difficult to codify because they have a weak legal foundation & are hard to explain, let alone justify (hence the repeat un-firings)."

"Where do Elon Musk’s #business interests end & Donald Trump’s #political interests begin? Trick question—they’re one & the same.

How else do you explain the jarring sight of the #POTUS hawking #Teslas on the #WhiteHouse South Lawn?"

Editorial cartoon. The White House is decked out like a used car lot having a sale. There are flailing arm balloon people with "Own the libs" and "Own a Tesla" on them. There are signs saying, "Free Tesla! When you buy a $5,000,000 test drive with the president" and "Free access! To the president when you buy a $5,000,000 Tesla. There are two red Teslas on the front lawn with Trump sitting in one of them and poking his head out the window. The license plate on the Trump car says, "USA 4 Sale". The other car's plate reads, "POTUS 47". On top of the Capitol, the Tesla flag flies above the US flag, and Elon Musk is jumping up and down.

"Yesterday’s #WhiteHouse stunt had all the hallmarks of Trump #corruption, but there was something else, too—an air of desperation. It was a tacit admission that the #protests are working and that #Musk and #Trump are rattled...

These moments make clear that this time, Musk has wagered the only thing he can’t easily buy back—the very #myth he created for himself."

Text from article: Yesterday’s White House stunt had all the hallmarks of Trump corruption, but there was something else, too—an air of desperation. It was a tacit admission that the protests are working and that Musk and Trump are rattled enough by current sentiment that they’re willing to turn the South Lawn into a showroom. Watching Musk clam up on Fox Business or quietly idle next to Trump in front of the White House, it’s even easier than normal to see past Musk’s trademark bullshitting and bluster. These moments make clear that this time, Musk has wagered the only thing he can’t easily buy back—the very myth he created for himself.

Elon Musk Looks Desperate

How to lose $148 billion in less than two months
theatlantic.com/technology/arc

"But you ought not to overlook just how embarrassing the spectacle was for #Musk...

Tesla’s stock price has fallen sharply—almost 50% since its mid-December, post election peak—on the back of terrible sales numbers in #Europe...

And #Tesla isn’t the only Musk venture that’s struggling."

How #Elon love-bombed Trump's #MAGA cult
salon.com/2025/03/12/i-am-the-

"Musk's crashing brand reputation is just the free market in action, something #Republicans used to claim they supported. But... [ #Trump] talks about #Musk not like a valued colleague... Trump's plea resembles that of a lovesick woman angrily defending her worthless boyfriend"
