You should do this before Elon Musk's people either delete or CHANGE IT. You can download to your computer or get a paper copy mailed.

Looks like Musk-rats in Treasury are NOT “read-only,” but can manipulate data, steal data, and leave back doors. Your privacy gone.


The backdoor was how they got into all the voting machines

PedoGuy has to stick

Nazi PedoGuy

If the quote below is legit I think I'd fight for Canada if Trump attacked them militarily

Quote:
In Canada, the Proud Boys remain a designated terrorist organization, putting it in the same category as ISIS, Daesh, the Taliban, Boko Haram and so on.

Rather than having their financial assets frozen and facing life on a Five Eyes no-fly list, the Canadian group disbanded 96 hours later and surrendered its financial assets to the Minister of Public Safety. Any American Proud Boy who attempts to cross the Canadian border would be subject to arrest as a member of a terrorist entity.

And this is the organization whose leader your (bleep) President just pardoned from a seven year sentence, and that he speculated “could have a place in American politics”.

(bleep) you Donald Trump.

Sincerely, The People of Canada

Another law suit.

Quote:
Public Citizen @Public_Citizen

BREAKING: We are suing @HHSGov for the removal of critical health info and data from websites.

The removal creates a dangerous gap in scientific research and threatens public health.

The Trump executive order that led to this purge puts American lives in danger.


Think about the future law suits against RFK Jr when he takes over and kids start dying because they can't get normal childhood vaccines.

This Trump/BiBi press conference is bonkers. Short version: Trump says all Palestinians should leave and not come back. US is taking over GAZA territory. Will send troops if needed. Will "develop" it into a beautiful community (for someone else, not for Gazans who are not welcome back). (And by "develop" he means to put Trump hotels, casinos and resorts over the razed ruins of the coastline.)

Quote:
Aaron Rupar @atrupar

Trump standing next to Netanyahu: "I also believe that the Gaza Strip, which has been a symbol of death and destruction for so many decades ... it should not go through a process of rebuilding and occupation by the same people."

Trump: "The US will take over the Gaza Strip."

“The U.S. will take over the Gaza Strip…We'll own it and be responsible for dismantling all of the dangerous, unexploded bombs and other weapons on the site. Level the site and get rid of the destroyed buildings”

Trump on sending US troops to Gaza: "If it's necessary, we'll do that. We're gonna take over that piece. And we're gonna develop it."

Trump on sending to troops to Gaza: We'll do what is necessary. If it's necessary, we'll do that. We're going to take over that piece and we're going to develop it, create thousands and thousands of jobs.

REPORTER: You are talking tonight about the US taking over a sovereign territory. What authority would allow you to do that? Are you talking about a permanent occupation?

TRUMP: I do see a long term ownership position

Trump on getting all hostages out of Gaza: "If we don't, it will just make us somewhat more violent, I will tell you that."

Trump: "Gaza is a hellhole right now. It was before the bombing started, frankly. And we're gonna give people a chance to live in a beautiful community that's safe and secure. I think you're gonna find tremendous outflowing of support."

Reporter: You have any plan to change Afghanistan's situation? Are you able to recognize Taliban?

Trump: It’s a beautiful voice and a beautiful accent. The only problem is I can't understand a word you're saying, but. But I just say this. Good luck. Live in peace.

COLLINS: Where exactly are you suggesting Gazans should go? Who do you envision living there?

TRUMP: I envision world people living there. The world's people. I think you'll make that into an international, unbelievable place. “The Riviera of the Middle East”.


He is unbelievably evil and stupid at the same time.

He’s totally lost it. A U.S. invasion of Gaza would lead to the slaughter of thousands of U.S. troops and decades of war in the Middle East. It’s like a bad, sick joke.

Is the plan for U.S. troops to forcibly remove 2 million Palestinians from Gaza while taking fire from Hamas? This plan does not seem like a good idea.

I can TOTALLY see why those "leftists" refused to vote for Dems because of Gaza now. Trump is definitely the much better option of the two . . .

The Palestinian people of Gaza must be so appreciative of those non-Dem voters' thoughtfulness right now.

If someone had told me to just invent a crazy press conference with Trump talking about Gaza, I probably wouldn't have made it that crazy.

Here's a guarantee: none of this stuff will be played to respond when a bunch of Republicans appear on Sunday talk shows in a few days.

BREAKING NEWS: In a news conference with Israel’s prime minister, President Trump said he wanted the U.S. to take over Gaza in an “ownership position.”


I know I sound like a broken record about the media, but this NY Times headline once again sanewashes the authoritarian (bleep) crazy press conference by merely putting quotes around ownership position.

If the words crazy, bonkers, ridiculous or insane are not in the preface to that sentence, they missed the entire story.

Did they explain he’ll need to take ownership of being responsible for destroying the lives of thousands of people.

Here is a piece that shows some of Edolphs infatuation with usaid

https://jabberwocking.com/heres-how-usaid-ended-up-in-trumps-crosshairs/
Quote:
Whew. But why is Musk so exercised about USAID? This is where things get murky, but it turns out Musk is a big fan of a guy named Mike Benz, a far-right provocateur, white supremacist, and all-around conspiracy crank who has recently reinvented himself as an anti-censorship activist. For unclear reasons, this has led him to become America's premier critic of USAID, which he views as a spider controlling the entire web of America's foreign policy, from the State Department to the Pentagon to the CIA. Benz posts endlessly about this and Musk is an avid follower.

The look on Bibi’s face during that media session was priceless. Like a kid who got in trouble for fighting at school and his dad just showed up to aggressively back him up and blame the nerdy kid he hit.

Looks like John Fetterman is the new Joe Manchin. He's been voting to confirm almost every tRump cabinet nominee. Was the only Democrat to vote Yes on Pam Bondi for AG (Pam Bondi who helped Jeb Bush steal Florida for GWB; same Pam Bondi who dropped suit against fraudulent Trump University after he made a big donation to her campaign; also a 2020 election denier).

These employee’s photos and personal information, including screenshots of social media posts and political donations, are all being shared because they worked on or supported diversity, equity, and inclusion. If you didn’t already have your social media on private, or scrub it from any inclusive content, now’s the time to do so…

Fetterman's stroke destroyed enough of his brain to make him a republican. I hope he gets primaried. This guy is terrible.

Also, we were predicting that Trump was going to develop Gaza and have mar a lago there. Now here he is saying he wants the US to own and develop it. This is worse than when people said we invaded Iraq to steal oil. Now we're going to take over Gaza and turn it into resorts? Strip malls? Condominiums?

I'm still reeling over the fact that he caused a plane crash that killed 70 people and then blamed it on black people. This is not a president that stands for anything american, just greed and himself.

I guess I could be persuaded that you don't want to be the Democratic Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley and literally vote against every Trump nominee. Even though he's spineless and surrendered his dignity to Trump, Marco Rubio is probably qualified to be Secretary of State.

But when it comes to these insane nominations, like Bondi, no Democrat should even entertain the notion of voting for them.

Fetterman should absolutely be primaried.

NOAA is vital for weather forecasting, scientific research & more. Their critical work saves lives.

My team and I are looking into this & we will not stand for it.


Musk/Trump just aiming for mass casualties of Americans now. Maybe they feel a smaller stressed out populace is easier to control.

Or they are just liquidating government to line their pockets and they don't care how many people die as a result.

Dirty water, unclean air, contaminated food, no vaccines, unaffordable medicine. More deaths from extreme climate events, hurricanes, floods, fires. They don't care. They are tearing down modern society.

Those aholes are too stupid to realize that most weather related disasters happen in red states, so they're only killing off their own voters . . . oh . . . wait . . . that's right, he told 'em all they'd never have to vote again . . . they are totally expendable.
