Jasmine Crockett’s Hilarious Backhanded ‘Apology’ To Elon Musk Is Maximum Snark

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) admits she was wrong about the MAGA movement and one of its heroes, Elon Musk.

You probably recall that a main tenant of the MAGA movement spawned by Felon-in-Chief Donald Trump is that immigrants are stealing jobs from hardworking Americans, with some in the MAGA camp even suggesting that all of the new jobs being created in the United States are going to immigrants.

Another key point of Trump’s 2024 campaign, which was bankrolled to the tune of $277 million by Musk, is that the federal government needs to be cut back, even if that means shutting down agencies such as the Department of Education and slashing millions of jobs from the federal workforce.

All of this led Crockett to note there is indeed an immigrant taking jobs away from Americans.

His name, she revealed, is Elon Musk.

“There’s an immigrant taking people’s jobs,” Crockett said in a post on social media. “His name is Elon Musk.”

“He’s snatching farms, government jobs (even those in which they manage our national security), and definitely those whose jobs are to root out fraud (inspector generals), & those that are keeping us safe (FAA), meals on wheels workers, head start, and the list goes on, so I’ll be the bigger person and admit to MAGA that I was wrong when I said immigrants wouldn’t take our jobs. You were 1000 percent correct.”

There’s an immigrant taking people’s jobs… his name is Elon Musk. He’s snatching farms, government jobs (even those in which they manage our national security), and definitely those whose jobs are to root out fraud (inspector generals),

Indeed, Musk and his so-called DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) is wreaking havoc across the nation, with numerous reports that people allied with him are storming into agencies such as the Treasury Department and accessing computer files that control the disbursement of Social Security and tax refund checks. That alone is reason enough to worry, but the fact that an unelected South African-born billionaire appears to now be in control of the United States is also incredibly sobering. Who is actually in control of the federal government? Does anyone know?

None of this will end well, and this nation may lie in ruins when it’s over.

Donald Trump Foreign Policy Vladimir Putin WTF?!

Republican Congressman Says Vladimir Putin Will Never ‘Take Advantage Of Donald Trump’

Although Coward-in-Chief Donald Trump has repeatedly capitulated to Russian dictator Vladimir Putin, a Republican congressman said today that Trump can be trusted to negotiate a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine because “nobody’s going to take advantage of Donald Trump.”

That absurd quote comes from Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX), who was a guest on “Face the Nation,” and was asked by host Margaret Brennan, “Vladimir Putin, it sounds like you would agree, is an accused war criminal. He is a dictator. There is a warrant out for his arrest, as you know.”

“President Trump floated inviting him to the U.S. or even visiting Russia himself,” she added. “Do you think any of that is appropriate?”

“It’s more appropriate than not talking to him for the last two years, which is what President Biden did,” Crenshaw responded.

“Talking is different than inviting him to the United States,” Brennan reminded the congressman.

“You can parse it out however you like,” Crenshaw replied. “But the reality is, is you’re going to have to get him to the table somehow.”

Crenshaw also noted that Trump is “good at flattering people in order to get them to the table.”

“But flattering a very brutal dictator who’s pretty cunning, frankly,” Brennan noted. “You really think that’s a winning strategy?”

“He’s not that cunning,” Crenshaw insisted. “I think let Trump do his campaign promise and play this out. Look, nobody’s going to take advantage of Donald Trump.”

Despite what Congressman Crenshaw says, the facts suggest otherwise when it comes to Trump’s ongoing capitulation to Putin.

Earlier this week, Trump told reporters that Ukraine will have to give up some of the territory Russia has stolen from them since they invaded three years ago.

“Trump said Wednesday that he had talked to Russian President Vladimir Putin, adding it was unlikely that Ukraine would get back territory occupied by Russia or that it would eventually join NATO,” according to NBC News.

“Trump appeared to sympathize with Russia’s perspective, saying it ‘fought for that land’ and ‘lost a lot of soldiers.’  He declined to say, however, whether Ukraine would be an equal partner in any negotiations.”

In other words, Trump has already been taken advantage of and sold out our Ukrainian allies. That was Putin’s plan all along, and now his buddy Donald is ready to give him anything he wants.

Here’s the video from CBS News:

Elon Musk Says Social Security Has To Be Cut To Eliminate ‘Fraud’

Unelected POTUS Elon Musk is trying to justify massive cuts in Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid by claiming there’s widespread “fraud” in the system which provides retirement income and healthcare for seniors and the neediest Americans.

In a post he made on social media, Musk claimed, “At this point, I am 100% certain that the magnitude of the fraud in federal entitlements (Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Welfare, Disability, etc) exceeds the combined sum of every private scam you’ve ever heard by FAR. It’s not even close.”

This isn’t the first time Musk has claimed Social Security is rife with imaginary fraud

He did so on Feb. 8, too.

Hundreds of billions of dollars are being dispersed to people without a Social Security card? You don’t even exist in the United States without a Social Security number, so that pretty much eviscerates Musk’s claim.

As for people at the Treasury giving Musk an estimate of the annual fraud in the system, how about he gives us the names of those officials so we can contact them and verify they spoke with him? Otherwise, it’s just a bullshit line that anyone can utter.

Musk’s online rantings drew immediate pushback, Newsweek notes.

Max Richtman, president and CEO of the National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare, remarked. “Social Security beneficiaries and their families have every reason to be alarmed by Elon Musk’s takeover of the U.S. Department of Treasury’s payment system, which is responsible for paying Social Security benefits.

“Seniors, their families, and people with disabilities most certainly cannot trust Trump and Musk with their crucial federal benefits – or their personal data.  We hope that the courts will halt this effort to hijack the Treasury Department’s payment system for blatantly political purposes.”

And Martin O’Malley, former Commissioner of the Social Security Administration warned:

“This is not about efficiency. This is about two things. This is about stealing the personal data of Americans. And it is about taking a lifetime of earned benefits, your Social Security benefits, and turning it into a bitcoin bank!”

Elon Musk has no right to mess with anyone’s benefits. If he does, he should be arrested, put on trial, and placed in prison.

Donald Trump Social Media The Trump Adminstration WTF?!

Trump Says If He ‘Saves’ The Country He Can ‘Violate’ Any Law He Wants

Perhaps suffering from a guilty conscience as a result of the unconscionable evil he plans to unleash on the United States, Felon-in-Chief Donald Trump is now openly declaring that he can “violate” any law he wants as long as he manages to “save” the country in the process.

In a short posting he made this afternoon on social media, the twice-impeached criminal who currently serves as American head of state told the world, “He who saves his Country does not violate any Law.”

What Trump neglected to add is that he stole the line from one of the worst dictators in world history, Napoleon Bonaparte. And considering the fate that befell Napoleon, he might not be the ideal choice of a leader to emulate.

How terrible was the reign of Napoleon? Consider this fact: It’s estimated that anywhere between 3 and 6.5 million people died under his rule, including 1.3 million residents of France.

Napoleon was also a megalomaniac dictator who ended freedom of the press and freedom of association. Oh, and he also destroyed nearly all of the government reforms that had been won by the French people after the revolution that overthrew King Louis XVI.

And we have Donald Trump invoking the memory of a dictator as he begins his own tyrannical rule of the United States with mass deportations, legal attacks on the LBGTQ community, and attempting to impose religious fundamentalism on the populace at a time when many Americans are growing sick and tired of the bigotry and intolerance Christian extremism is preaching from the pulpit and hoping to make the law of the land.

Trump was also hit with plenty of backlash on social media, where people reminded him that he is and will always be a criminal, no matter what he tries to make us believe.

Trump And Musk Whine To Sean Hannity: The Big Bad Media Is Trying To ‘Drive Us Apart’

Fascist-in-Chief Donald Trump and unelected POTUS Elon Musk are upset because they say the media is attempting to drive them apart at a time when their mutual admiration for each other is at its zenith.

The two grifters sat down with Sean Hannity of Fox “News” and went on an extended whine-a-thon when the host asked them, “You’re both aware, you have to be keenly aware that the media and the punditry class – I think you’ve proven they have no power anymore because they threw everything they had at you and they didn’t win. And that was, you know, The New York Times, Washington Post, three networks, every late-night comedy show to cable channels.”

“They just, they threw everything. Lawfare, weaponization. And now I see They want you two – they want a divorce. They want you two to start hating each other. And they try. Oh, President Elon Musk, for example. You do know that they’re doing that to you?”

“I see it all the time. They tried it. Then they stopped. They have many different things of hatred,” Trump complained. “Actually, Elon called me. He said, you know, they’re trying to drive us apart. I said, absolutely. No, they said, We have breaking news. Donald Trump has ceded control of the presidency to Elon Musk. President Musk will be attending a cabinet meeting tonight at eight o’clock. And I say, it’s just so obvious. There’s so bad at it. I used to think they were good at it. They’re actually bad at it because if they were good at it, I’d never be president.”

“Because I think nobody in history has ever gotten more bad publicity than me. I could do the greatest things. I get 98% bad publicity I could do outside of you. Few of your very good friends, Right? It’s like the craziest thing. But you know what I have learned, Elon? The people are smart. They get it.”

“Yeah, they do, actually,” Musk agreed.

Trump: “They get it.”

Musk: “Yeah.”

“They really see what’s happening,” according to Trump, which prompted Musk to again concur, “Yeah.”

There’s an old saying attributed to former president Harry Truman that Trump and Musk should consider before they start whining again: If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.

Donald and Elon should get the hell out of Washington, DC and go back to doing what they do best: Being assholes and grifters.
