Elon Musk GOP WTF?!

Marjorie Greene Says She And Elon Musk Will ‘Remove Toilets In Africa’ To Cut Federal Spending

According to Georgia Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, she and Twitter CEO Elon Musk will cut trillions of dollars from the federal budget by using the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to investigate National Public Radio and “toilets in Africa.”

What Greene neglected to mention is that DOGE doesn’t actually have any power to cut a damn thing. That can only be done by Congress with the approval of the president.

Greene was asked by Fox host Maria Bartiromo, “Elon Musk will be leading the newly created Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, under the Trump administration, aimed at cutting at least $2 trillion said to be government waste of taxpayer money.”

“Tell us what you see as the most government waste.”

Greene, who will lead the House DOGE subcommittee, replied, “It’s all over,” Greene insisted. “Every single government department program, grant programs, contracts, it is everywhere.”

“We’ll be looking at everything from government-funded media programs like NPR that spread nothing but Democrat propaganda,” she added. “We’ll be going into grant programs that fund things like sex apps in Malaysia, toilets in Africa, all kinds of programs that don’t help the American people.”

“We’re going to look in every single aspect and we don’t care about people’s feelings.”

Of course, Greene has no feelings because she’s a heartless heap of human excrement who only cares about herself and her savior, Donald Trump. All she wants to do is wreak chaos and havoc everywhere she goes and sleep with whatever troglodytes happen to cross her path. The more the merrier seems to be Margie’s motto in that regard.

Here’s a suggestion: Cut the salaries of everyone in the House and Senate and ban them from accepting campaign contributions. Also, take away their health insurance, pension, and other benefits, all of which are paid for with taxpayer money.

And while we’re at it, let’s make sure that the IRS takes a good long look at Ms. Greene’s tax returns since she joined Congress. Here’s betting she’s already committed income tax fraud and needs to be behind bars.

Here’s How Joe Biden Is ‘Trump-proofing’ His Accomplishments And Legacy

As Donald Trump continues to name members of his cabinet and prepares to take office in less than two months, President Joe Biden and his administration are also actively working to guarantee that the incoming Trump team can’t destroy some of their biggest accomplishments and tarnish the legacy that Biden will be remembered for when history books are written in the coming decades.

The Financial Times reports that the Biden team is working overtime to spend billions of dollars that Congress has already approved to keep Trump from clawing back the money or allocating it to other projects.

One of those is the $39 billion allocated as financial incentives for semiconductor manufacturing plants throughout the U.S., which is part of the CHIPS and Science Act. That funding is expected to create over 115,000 manufacturing jobs in several states.

According to Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo, her agency is working overtime and weekends to spend CHIPS and Science Act funds as soon as possible since Republicans have hinted they may try to cancel the funding as soon as Trump takes the oath of office on January 20, 2025.

“The CHIPS team has announced preliminary agreements with two dozen companies for CHIPS awards, and over the next two months, plans to announce preliminary agreements for all $39 billion of that funding, and is well on its way towards securing final agreements for many of those entities [where] preliminary awards were announced,” a White House official revealed.

There’s also the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), which Earthjustice has hailed as “the largest climate spending bill ever.” It contains $369 billion in clean energy subsidies that Trump has vowed to repeal, even though that may not be as easy as he thinks. Many Republican states are using those funds to start or upgrade clean energy programs and will be reluctant to let go of them.

And then there’s Ukraine.

Biden is trying to get some $7 billion in additional military assistance to Kiev as soon as possible, especially since Trump is known to be buddies with Russian President Vladimir Putin and will likely try to deny Ukraine any further U.S. aid once he takes office.

But perhaps Biden’s most lasting legacy will be on the federal courts, where the White House is urging Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer to push through as many Biden nominees as he possibly can before Trump is sworn in.

A White Hosue official told the Financial Times, “We’ve been working with [Senate Democrats] very, very closely to get as many of the president’s nominees confirmed because he believes that he wants to leave a lasting impact on the judiciary.”

Granted, another four years of Trump as president will likely be chaotic and disastrous, but as he leaves office, President Biden hopes to minimize the damage his successor can do.

Trump Is Furious As He Watches His 2024 Margin Of Victory Continue To Shrink

When he spoke shortly after it became clear that he had won the 2024 presidential election, Donald Trump tried to claim that voters had given him an overwhelming mandate by electing him with a massive victory.

But in the nearly three weeks since he was declared the victor, the disgraced president-elect is growing angrier by the second, according to The New Republic, because it turns out his “landslide” was little more than a squeaker.

Trump and his supporters have been pushing the landslide narrative ever since he defeated Harris. “We had a great election in the U.S.… Amazing what happened, we had tremendous success. The most successful in over 100 years they say,” he told Fox News last week. Trump campaign communications director Steven Cheung claimed that “President Trump won in dominating and historic fashion after the Democrats and the fake news media peddled outright lies and disinformation throughout the campaign.” And Republicans throughout Congress have claimed the same.

Not so fast!

Since Election Day, Trump’s margin of victory has shrunk precipitously.

According to numbers released Friday, Trump only managed to defeat Vice President Kamala Harris by 1.6 percentage points. He also didn’t manage to get more than 50% of the popular vote. In comparison, Hillary Clinton beat Trump by more votes in 2016 than Trump did Harris eight years later.

In other words, Donnie is a two-time loser and only won because the Electoral College math worked in his favor.

All of this has put Trump and his surrogates on the defensive, with Trump transition team spokeswoman Karoline Leavit lashing out at Politico and the New York Times for daring to report the truth about her twice-impeached boss. Here’s what she posted on Twitter:

“New Fake News Narrative Alert! Here are the ridiculous headlines from @politico and @nytimes this morning. The fake news is trying to minimize President Trump’s massive and historic victory to try to delegitimize his mandate before he even takes the Oath of Office again.”

That post reeks of defensiveness and massive insecurity.

Of course, what Trump fears most is being called an illegitimate president, even though that’s the very same thing he said about former President Barack Obama for eight years. He’s insecure and knows he’ll go down in history as one of the most incompetent fools to inhabit the White House.

But the numbers speak for themselves, and they tell us that the Donald is not exactly a hit with over 74 million American voters. That’s got to sting to an egotistical crybaby like him.

Former Staffer: Some Republicans Already Consider Trump To Be A ‘Lame Duck’ President

A top staffer who briefly worked in the first Trump administration says there are more than a few Republicans in Congress who see Donald as little more than a “lame duck” president who can be challenged on many fronts because he’s weaker than he was during his first term.

Anthony Scaramucci explained that the abrupt withdrawal of Matt Gaetz’s nomination to be attorney general proves that some in the GOP will not bow down to Trump and let him run roughshod over them.

“Obviously, a lot of the things that [former] Rep. Gaetz did was disqualifying, but I think the tide has changed a little bit,” Scaramucci said during an appearance on CNN. “I think there’s been a shapeshift by the Republicans in the Senate. You know, they see Trump as a lame duck. They know there’s one more election that he can have lots of influence on, which is the congressional election in two years, and I think they are fortifying themselves to block some of the things that he’s done in the past, and so the Trump season, you know, this is ‘The Apprentice: White House Edition’ season two. I think the cast members up on Capitol Hill are ready for Donald Trump this time. I don’t think they were as prepared as they are now, and I think the messaging [to Gaetz] was, behind closed doors: ‘You’re not going to make it, don’t embarrass the president and withdraw.'”

Other nominees could face the same disgraceful end as Gaetz, Scaramucci predicted.

“Now, the other questions are, you know, about some of these other candidates,” Scaramucci said. “Well, Pete Hegseth ended up having to do the same thing, and I will predict if there’s more information about Pete that comes out, he’ll be No. 2 to go that way. But I think Pam Bondi, by the way, will do well. Pam Bondi says the things that Donald Trump likes to hear, but she won’t do the things that Donald Trump likes to do, and so I think that’s someone that respects the system, and I think she’ll get it. I think she’ll get through.”

Missing In Action Vance Ridiculed As A Flunky Who ‘Can’t Find Himself A Seat At The Cool Kids’ Table’

Has anyone seen Vice President-elect J.D. Vance recently? Come to think of it, has anyone seen him since Election Day nearly three weeks ago? He’s become as scarce as the infamous Waldo, and no one can find him.

Who has been making public appearances with Donald Trump in Vance’s place? Twitter CEO Elon Musk, which is weird because he hasn’t been elected to anything at all.

What in the hell is going on here? Well, it’s all part of Musk and Trump’s larger plans for who will wield power and influence in the second Trump administration, according to former Republican National Committee chair Michael Steele, who currently works as a host on MSNBC and writes in an opinion piece for the network, “America is witnessing what happens when a private citizen amasses power solely based on their proximity to the president of the United States.”

Musk’s rise comes at Vance’s expense, Steele continues.

“As for Trump’s actual incoming vice president, he just can’t find himself a seat at the cool kids’ table.”

If anyone needed visual proof that Musk is now working as Trump’s unofficial Veep, they wouldn’t have to look any further than a photo that made waves on social media almost a week ago.

“Last weekend, Trump shared a picture of his inner circle on his private plane enjoying McDonald’s,” Steele observes. “Trump was surrounded by Musk; his son Don Jr.; House Speaker Mike Johnson; and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Not pictured: Vance.”

Also consider that Musk has been given one of the most powerful jobs in the incoming administration, one which will potentially allow him to recommend cutting billions of dollars in federal spending.

“The Tesla founder will oversee a wholly made-up ‘Department of Government Efficiency‘ alongside Vivek Ramaswamy. How dumb is that? They are creating an agency to get rid of other agencies.”

Vance, on the other hand, is stuck doing all the shit jobs for Trump, including trying to get his Senate colleagues to vote for Donald’s pathetic appointees, including former Rep. Matt Gaetz, who was supposed to be the next attorney general but had to withdraw his name from consideration as more evidence surfaced suggesting that he allegedly paid dozens of underage girls to sleep with him, which is the only way the Florida Republican can get any non-comatose woman to share an intimate encounter with him.

“Vance was given the thankless task of convincing Senate Republicans to confirm Trump’s menagerie of misfit MAGA sycophants to the Cabinet,” Steele wrote. “While Musk is sitting in on phone calls with Trump, Vance wasted his time trying to convince his fellow Republican senators to back Matt Gaetz, just a day before Gaetz withdrew his nomination for attorney general. That must be the worst assignment for a vice president since President Joe Biden charged Vice President Kamala Harris with solving the root causes of global migration.”

So what will become of VP Vance? Steele suggests that may well be up to Musk in the long run because it’s clear J.D. is not part of Trump’s inner circle.

“Vance is just along for the ride — if only he could get in the car.”
