Musk and Ramaswamy contradictions galore...

[Blkfyre]

So, Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy put out a manifesto on what it is they plan on doing when Trump unleashes them upon us, but, is it me, or is this just BS conservative doubletalk?

"Our nation was founded on the basic idea that the people we elect run the government. That isn't how America functions today. Most legal edicts aren't laws enacted by Congress but "rules and regulations" promulgated by unelected bureaucrats—tens of thousands of them each year...This is antidemocratic and antithetical to the Founders' vision. It imposes massive direct and indirect costs on taxpayers. "

"The entrenched and ever-growing bureaucracy represents an existential threat to our republic, and politicians have abetted it for too long. That's why we're doing things differently. We are entrepreneurs, not politicians. We will serve as outside volunteers, not federal officials or employees."

So, on the one hand you say people who were not elected are making decisions with " "rules and regulations" promulgated by unelected bureaucrats" who "impose massive direct and indirect costs on taxpayers.", all the while tooting your horn that you are "are entrepreneurs, not politicians. who will serve as outside volunteers, not federal officials or employees. "

Did they read this before posting it? Aren't they *exactly* what they are complaining about?

Blkfre, all theses wannabe dictators going against each other, the battle of the egos.  Trump rages at Republicans over Biden's successful judicial confirmations, laughing. 

Those who love America and it's freedom are not going to standby and let the insane trump party get away with it.  More is coming.

The problem with guys like Musk and Ramaswamy is that they're smart guys who aren't smart enough to know what they don't know.

Among the things they don't know is that inefficiency and waste are easy to talk about but hard to identify. After all, they're not the first characters to be charged with rooting out government waste. But they think they know more than anyone who has come before them.

Standard rhetoric is to cut out the "fat" by the new administration. There is fat, however it is all entwined with sinew, never fiber, blood vessels. You can't use a hatchet hacking away. A scalpel with surgical precision is needed. Like I said before, I'm eating popcorn watching the sh*t show.

Thank the Democrats for being stuck with these bozos.  The Democrats sucked so bad that people chose them as the lesser of two evils.

Fair enough. But it also says a lot about the effectiveness of propaganda on a gullible voting public.

What is the point of speculation? Why worry about something that hasn't occurred. Have to wait for Trump to take office again then see what developes. I hope Trump does a better job his second term than his first. Fingers crossed.
