Mitch McConnell on his NO vote on Tulsi Gabbard “The nation should not have to worry that the intelligence assessments the President receives are tainted by a Director of National Intelligence with a history of alarming lapses in judgment. … Entrusting the coordination of the intelligence community to someone who struggles to acknowledge these facts is an unnecessary risk.”

Trump Humiliated in the ‘Most Powerless Image Ever’ of a U.S. President: O’Donnell​


'PRESIDENTIAL SUBSERVIENCE'

Trump has always craved the attention of the “truly rich,” and now he finally has it, MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell said.​

Elon Musk humiliated President Donald Trump during Tuesday’s joint press conference in the Oval Office, which left Trump looking like the “most powerless” U.S. president ever caught on camera, MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell said on The Last Word.

During a press conference in the Oval Office in which they claimed—without providing a single piece of evidence—to have uncovered billions of dollars of government waste and fraud, Musk spoke 3,666 words to Trump’s 2,487, O’Donnell said.

Musk brought his 4-year-old son X to the press conference, wore a T-shirt and baseball cap, and even interrupted Trump.

He stood over Trump while the president sat behind the Resolute Desk, “delivering a picture of presidential subservience the likes of which we have never seen—the most powerless image of a president of the United States ever created by a camera,” O’Donnell said.

“[Former Vice President] Mike Pence never had a day like that in the Oval Office with Donald Trump. [Vice President] JD Vance will never a day like that in the Oval Office with Donald Trump, because Donald Trump is the boss of JD Vance,” he said.

Trump, he continued, has always craved the attention of the “truly rich, virtually all of whom ignored Donald Trump as phony rich and vulgar rich.”

Now he has the attention of the world’s richest man, who can literally bail him out of the $82.5 million he currently owes writer E. Jean Carroll, who successfully sued Trump for defamation, and the $500 million judgment levied against him in a civil fraud case in New York.

“We have no idea how dependent Donald Trump is on Elon Musk. There will probably never be a way of knowing,” he said.

During Tuesday’s press conference the pair proved their “comfort with public lying,” he added, since they accused the government of billions of dollars of waste, fraud and abuse without producing a single fraudulent contract or recipient of abusive spending.

“As soon as they can show us that waste, fraud and abuse and prove it, I will congratulate them,” he said. “But so far they have found absolutely nothing, because they have produced no evidence.”

By the way, I understand the logic of allowing the tech sector to control our destiny.

American leadership effectively feels we're behind China (we are) and that we need to be competitive
on the world stage (we do).

and several others aren't just there for show, they're literally advising Washington and
helping to guide domestic and international policy.

The moves being made, make sense when you understand it's a direct reaction to China's aggressive growth
and what's going on with BRICs. G7 countries have failing/weakening economies, several countries are moving away
from the petrodollar and we're (America is) not the most technically advanced country on the planet anymore.





We're in the middle of a moderrn cold war and Elon musk is someone put in charge of "steering the ship" to so speak.
Tariffs.
Restricting Chips.
The push for Stargate, the military funding, the social pivot to the right all make sense as the general public has to brace for measures of
austerity.

No this is my account and I’m far from ignorant. I don’t necessarily like Elon but the exposure of corruption I like a lot. A whole lot.
You seem at least semi intelligent... let me ask you. You're all about ending corruption, right? Cool.

Does it even make you bat an eye that damn near every policy that Elon is pushing forward, or moving forward with benefits him solely? Does that seem logical to you?

Crazy because I'm not glazing them.

Maybe if you actually read what I stated and watched the videos, you'd understand what's happening geopolitically.

I don't agree with this very public takeover of our government but many of you are so busy trying to get off
"gotchas" that you just come off as dummies who don't read.

Under Biden America outperformed China. We didn’t need to pivot, we just needed to keep doing what we were doing. Under Trump China’s potential to outpace us as the world’s hegemony increases in probability.

You’re a closeted Trump supporter so you default to Biden = bad.
