Just here for my daily question of: How the fuck does this man have the authority to "order" fucking anything within my government?
Executive branch controls executive things. Voters elected orange man who likes elon.
Put simple, because people wanted this.
Millions of DNC voters stayed home in the 2024 election and known pro-billionaire convicted felon Donald Trump won the presidency.
Now that still technically doesn't give him the power to create a new office. Instead, they kicked everyone out of the digital services office and changed the sign on the door to DOGE. Now that STILL didn't give him power over other offices and the budget, so they've instead been working alongside traitors in the treasury and fighting the courts over legitimacy of their firings and funding freezes.
I heard republicans canceled many votes tirelessly looking for small mistakes
There absolutely was voter suppression, a voter deregistration campaign, and thrown out votes but sadly it wasn't anywhere near a close enough race for those votes to make a difference. Trump won by millions, and theres a much bigger difference between Harris and Biden 2020's numbers to the tune of 7 Million votes.
That's not fraud or corruption. Thats low turnout.
I thought he won by about 1.5 mil
2.3 Million
Well i can tolerate some things but starving dogs its not one of them
Just because Republicans SHOOT their Puppies and DEFUND Dogs DOESNT mean they HATE Dogs!
Every time I read something about the USA in the last few weeks I think "Wow that's shitty. How can it get worse?"
In short order, the answer to my question is served up. I find it worse when the victims cannot speak or stand up for themselves. Though horrible things are happening to a wide range of victims at least they can protest, take action etc. The dogs cannot. I only hope that the handlers make sure the welfare of these animals is taken care of despite the order. They do not deserve to be pawns in the MAGA game, but then no one does.
The last time a major terrorist attack happened, the government got expansion of powers.
This is preparing for the next 9/11, reichstag-fire style.
And the dems will approve the Enabling Act.
And the dems will approve the Enabling Act.
if the patriot act is any indication, yes.
The one person who voted no to the Patriot Act was voted out next election.
Let that be a lesson to all Americans. The one person who voted to protect the freedoms of America was voted out because it looked bad on paper.
Having dog handlers pay for the dogs they need for work is totally in line with having teachers pay for teaching tools.
Beyond animal cruelty, you NEED bomb sniffing dogs! Holy shit! Do they realize that now potential bombers would have a huge upper hand in carrying explosives into airports? Why don't they say 'well those metal detectors and xray machines are too fancy' and go back to the late 60s when there was a hijacking once every 5.6 DAYS.
That's actually really shocking. I looked it up, and you're correct. Hijackings were extremely common in the 60s and 70s.
This might blow up in his face. In more than one way.
They want chaos to justify the suspension of all civil rights. Ask me how I know.
Sounds like those dogs should start letting bombs through to me.
Musk: The fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy. The empathy exploit. They're exploiting a bug in Western civilization, which is the empathy response. So, I think, you know, empathy is good, but you need to think it through and not just be programmed like a robot.

That’s definitely something a malignant narcissist would say
Fucking psychopath.
quite literally
He's starving dogs!
Yeah Elon Musk is a sick fuck, though lets be real. We all knew he wasn't above something like this, this is just proving what we all knew about him. It's still horrible though.
Oh well I'm sure the cabinet secretary who oversees TSA will get right on that oh wait she loves killing dogs too
This is some unhinged shit. Is it the drugs? Is it the Putin?
Putin. Not even once kids.
Can we please stop blaming ‘drugs’ or ketamine specifically, even when joking. This is seriously hurting its reputation and future use as a therapeutic option. It might not feel like a big deal but every time we say this it normalizes it. Not targeting you specifically just trying to call it out any time I see it - thank you.
Failing to feed and look after animals you are responsible of is animal abuse and illegal.

All that's going to happen is the people who the dogs live with will end up buying them food. As if they would starve a member of their family.
That didn't sound like the best idea ever for someone using jets so often. That could blow up in his face.

I am sure that he doesn't fly on commercial public transport.
There is a certain type of person that gets extra upset when dogs are harmed. Make no mistake, I'm still very pro-feeding dogs. This is a fucked up event, yet events like these always bring a special type of "animal lover" outrage. If dog food budget is the Elon thing making you angriest today, then your priorities are out of whack.
Especially so if you eat cows, chickens and pigs, they're all animals. Just so tired of the selective outrage.
Found the vegan.
I beat ya to it.
But seriously, look at this thread. There are people saying this one is too far, that NOW they are convinced Elon is malicious, that this causes the most harm to US national security. All of those things are true and accurate, but if bomb sniffing dogs was your breaking point instead of mass layoffs of both cyber security and nuclear defense personal, racist interns copying entire database of SSN/Addresses/MedicalHistory and Elons full throated holocaust denilaism, then those people were either wildly misinformed or letting doggy emotions dictate your stance more than reason.
Downvote me, that's fine, but y'all need to get a grip.
I had to, considering the username. I don't think you're entirely wrong, but dog people really love dogs. You're playing with fire here.
Stop feeding Elon...
He has enough body fat to survive until the heat death of the universe anyway.
Yeah he keeps it in his frunk.
