Kamala did win CA though. Although few of the people screaming here probably voted for her.
I actually did send something to that email but with another, privacy-based email address.
If I end up Guantanamo Bay, it's been real, fam.
Probably becasue he thinks it makes him sound more like Malcolm X.
Worse. Bitch trying to sell womb space. Musk likely never had pussy since pussy had him. That weirdo beats off into a turkey baster and sends it to his chosen broodmares.
We need a Sirhan Sirhan Jr.
Wake up you cocksuckers and read this post.
Has the profit (piss be upon him) Tariq Allah Nasheed and his message of Mojaura gotten the people reparations?
Anybody caught spreading the blasphemy of Nasheed should be brought to Walter Panovs State Prison and placed in solitary confinement.

It’s starting to look that way
All the reporting from his first term said just that. He spent most of his time watching foxnews.
Elon basically brought an internship.
They're trying to move as fast as possible because they know how unpopular they are and they will probably lose either the House or the Senate at midterms. More than likely the House.
Cant let them make him the fall guy....
We have to make sure the blame all goes to Trump who deserves it.
Old people with bad hearts are on eliquis, plavix, xerelto, etc.
No, Elon controls the apparatus that channels and broadcast dissent.
You are 100% correct with this statement.
Truth is truth#bothsidesthesame
Its their only way to cover Trump
You mean talcum x? That’s a cracka speaking
Advocates: VA Layoffs Could Have Cascading Effects on Care
Feb. 26, 2025Lawmakers and advocates for veterans’ health sound the alarm on the latest round of layoffs

Layoffs directed by the White House continue to roil the Veterans Administration, with some expressing concern over the ability of the Veterans Health Administration to absorb those staff cuts and still provide adequate access to care for the nation’s veterans.
As USA Today’s Cybele Mayes-Osterman and Swapna Venugopal Ramaswamy reported on Feb. 25, “Another round of employee cuts Monday at the U.S Department of Veterans Affairs brought the total number of layoffs to 2,400 in less than a month, the latest reductions by President Donald Trump aimed at radically shrinking the federal workforce. The 1,400 workers laid off on Monday were all ‘bargaining-unit probationary employees’ in ‘non-mission critical roles,’ including ‘DEI-related positions,’ the VA said in a statement.”
Mayes-Osterman and Ramaswamy reported that “Responders with the VA's Veterans Crisis Line are ‘mission critical’ roles, according to the statement. But a Veterans Crisis Line employee with knowledge of the firing said 15 of their coworkers were fired. And a congressional aide familiar with the issue said more workers on the crisis line were fired than during the first wave of layoffs, when around a dozen lost their jobs. The aide spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the issue. A second employee said one of those fired was a social services assistant helping with emergency dispatch for the hotline. Last week, the VA denied that any employees from the crisis line were laid off, even as USA TODAY and other outlets reported that around a dozen were fired. Sen. Tammy Duckworth, D-Ill., a member of the Committee on Veterans Affairs, said at least some of the employees would be rehired after she and other Democratic senators raised the issue to the Department,” they wrote.
A non-bylined report on Tuesday afternoon by the Associated Press quoted Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), the ranking member of the Senate VA Committee, as saying on Tuesday that the dismissals will damage the VA’s ability to recruit and retain doctors and nurses; Blumenthal called on Republicans to help push back against the cuts. In response, VA Secretary Doug Collins stated that “These and other recent personnel decisions are extraordinarily difficult, but VA is focused on allocating its resources to help as many Veterans, families, caregivers, and survivors as possible. These moves will not hurt VA health care, benefits or beneficiaries. In fact, Veterans are going to notice a change for the better. In the coming weeks and months, VA will be announcing plans to put these resources to work helping the department fulfill its core mission: providing the best possible care and benefits to Veterans, their families, caregivers and survivors.”
And the AP quoted Sen. Mark Kelly, a Arizona Democrat, as accusing the Trump administration of "laying off VA staff in the middle of the night."
The AP report went on to quoted Jonathan Kamens, who formerly led cybersecurity for the VA’s flagship website, as saying that actions taken by the Department of Government Efficiency could cause sensitive Veterans Affairs financial and health data to be compromised, warned Jonathan Kamens, who used to lead cybersecurity for the VA’s flagship website. “Given how the government has been functioning for the last month, I don’t think the people at VA ... are going to be able to replace me,” Kamens told The Associated Press. “The security posture of the site is going to degrade. And eventually I think there will be a security incident resulting from the lack of adequate security oversight.” Kamens oversaw cybersecurity for VA.gov and was fired last month. He said he’s concerned DOGE could start “digging around inside private VA databases that contain people’s private information.”
The impacts could be multiple and long-term. As NBC News’s Melissa Chan wrote on Feb. 21, “President Donald Trump’s sweeping efforts to purge the federal workforce have dealt a striking one-two punch to an already largely vulnerable population: America’s veterans. Besides scrambling for a new way to make a living, former service members who lost their government jobs are bracing for the potential impact the mass terminations may have on their personal lives after the Department of Veterans Affairs dismissed more than 1,000 people who help provide services to them.” And she quoted a disabled Army veteran who was let go from her VA job last month, who told her, “I’m worried about wait times. If there’s not enough staff, from the clerks on up to the providers, it delays your time to be able to be seen, whether it’s an emergency or nonemergency.”
In addition, Chan quoted Allison Jaslow, who leads the nonprofit Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America, as saying that the layoffs could have cascading effects on veteran unemployment and put millions of veterans at risk of having their benefits disrupted. “It’s a double whammy to a group of people who researchers say experience mental health issues at disproportionate rates compared with their civilian counterparts and who face unique service-related challenges, including difficulty adjusting to civilian life and employment barriers,” Chan wrote.
And in a report published Wednesday morning, Feb. 26, Newsweek’s Billal Rahman quoted Rep. Mark Takano, D-Calif., ranking member of the House Veterans' Affairs Committee, as saying in a statement that "I am deeply disturbed by Secretary Collins' continued actions that are harming veterans, military spouses, civil servants and their families. To say that these firings will not affect veterans' care and benefits is a lie." Veterans of Foreign Wars said in a statement: "There are bigger ramifications in firing veterans than just faceless workers being let go. The American people are losing technical expertise, training and security clearances already bought and paid for by taxpayers. These veterans are now being told their skills are no longer useful to the government. We're losing people who are genuinely committed to the mission and find a continued sense of purpose in what they do."
It's always been a money grab for him......
Said it from the start, he is only in this to make money, pay of his debt, and help his homies make a shit load of money
