Liberals screeching "pedo protector" at Trump voters while Democrats literally invented the term "Minor Attracted Person" (MAP) to rebrand child rapists as a protected identity group. Your party turned grooming into academia and pride flags into rainbow shields for predators, you absolute clowns.

Gavin Newsom is doing the thing corrupt politicians always do when the spotlight finally turns back on them. He's pretending the investigation is the scandal. It's not. The scandal is that this man has spent his entire public life inside the gap between power and accountability, and he STILL acts stunned when somebody decides to take a peek behind the curtain. Gavin is a product of the California lobby machine, the one that trades names and makes sure their guys win. His whole business career was bankrolled by the billionaire Getty family. But you'll never hear Gavin rage about Getty money. He saves that for Elon. This is a man whose entire political career is a pattern: overreach, scandal, fines for "irregular" accounting. Over and over. He had an affair with his own appointments secretary, who happened to be the wife of his campaign manager and best friend. Btw; she got a $10,154 city payout. Supposedly no wrongdoing. Why are taxpayers paying for Gavin's adultery? He believes he's above the law. That if it's for the "right reasons," the law is made to be broken. That's what every dictator tells himself. 2004, he issued marriage licenses against state law. Courts voided them. French Laundry, November 2020. He's got the whole state locked in their homes. He went after Elon for keeping Tesla open, told him to comply or get out of California, played hard-ass enforcer on national TV. Then he drove up to Napa and threw a $400 plate dinner for lobbyists. Like cmon dude, at least pretend to believe the stuff you say on TV. (oh and btw, multiple businesses he owns got PPP relief during covid. just saying.) Beyond that, I don't get how anyone thinks this man is a great governor, let alone honest. Under his nose, $20B in unemployment fraud, $800M of it mailed to people in prison cells. Has spent $24B on homelessness yet no auditor or taxpayer can tell what happened with the money or if anything changed. The high speed rail is a running joke, $33B to $100B. No one's buying innocent OR competent. And then there's his wife. Her nonprofit paid her $1.8M over the years and routed another $2.1M to her OWN production company. Then the $20M state diaper program, run through a different nonprofit she co-founded, whose co-CEO sits on her board. Why is his wife the only person suitable for all these deals? That's family dealing, plain and simple, and it's the exact thread federal investigators are pulling on right now. Her finances. Her taxes. Her nonprofits. So let's add it up, Gavin. Your best friend resigned over your affair. Your chief of staff just pleaded guilty to federal fraud. You've got two ethics fines in two years and the state's own enforcer calling it a "pattern of repeated violations." Your wife is pulling millions out of nonprofits and landing state contracts. $20B in fraud walked out the door. $24B on homelessness that vanished. A bullet train that's a national punchline. And your pitch is that the only reason anyone's asking questions is that Trump doesn't like you? And to be clear, some of these investigations started under the Biden Administration. Come on, dude. This is the disease with these people. Decades inside the machine, public money in, private benefit out, no consequences, and the second anyone investigates they wrap themselves in democracy and scream persecution. But Gavin Newsom thinks scrutiny happens BENEATH him.

I thought the @ufc event at the White House was great. Very different and very entertaining. Congrats @danawhite @realDonaldTrump 👏 And to my liberal friends shrieking in faux outrage about it, I say this: pick your battles with Trump, this ain’t a hill to hysterically die on.

This is all so insane. We found this when we got back to our room. And then someone even sent cupcakes to our room. I genuinely don’t understand how it got to this point. We’re just normal World Cup tourists.😭😭

@HillaryClinton Ma’am, I was the Air Force Lt. Colonel who carried the nuclear football for your husband inside that “people’s house” you’re suddenly so precious about. I saw it all up close for two years. While Bill was getting blow jobs in the Oval Office from an intern and groping female Air Force enlisted crew on Air Force One, you and your staff treated the military with open disdain, like we were the help, not the men and women sworn to protect this nation. The disrespect for anything non-Clinton was palpable. You lecture about “respect for the institution” while your husband lost the nuclear codes and shrugged it off. And when you finally slinked out in 2001? You and your crew trashed the place—vandalism, theft, glue in drawers, obscene messages, stolen property, and filth left behind for the next administration. The GAO confirmed it. Classy exit from the “people’s house.” The White House belongs to the American people, not your grifting dynasty. They just elected a fighter who actually respects the military and the office. Keep ripping off poor kids in Haiti, selling your merch and clutching pearls. Sit down, bitch. The adults are back in charge.
Hillary Clinton@HillaryClinton

Remember, during today's literal cage match on the White House grounds: No matter what, it's not his house. It's our house. Get a hat, coaster, or sticker to support groups and candidates who will respect the form AND the function of the people's house. shop.onwardtogether.org/collections/ou…

Was die meisten schon wieder vergessen haben: 2021 hat Elon Musk den Vereinten Nationen angeboten, für die Beendigung des Welthungers mit dem Verkauf eines Teils seiner Tesla-Aktien zu zahlen. Die einzige Bedingung: Die Vereinten Nationen legen transparent offen, wie genau dieser Betrag den Welthunger beenden würde und wie die Mittel eingesetzt werden. Natürlich haben die Vereinten Nationen das Angebot nicht angenommen. Sie hätten nämlich erklären müssen, wie es sein kann, dass seit den 1950er Jahren 2 BILLIONEN DOLLAR an „Entwicklungshilfen“ nach Afrika geflossen sind, sich aber in all den Jahren nichts zum Besseren entwickelt hat. Das Problem ist nicht Elon Musk. Das Problem sind korrupte Politiker, die dir sagen, dass Elon Musk das Problem wäre.

Interview with Elon Musk from 2012: " My proceeds from PayPal after tax were about $180M, $100M of that went into SpaceX, $70M into Tesla, and $10M into SolarCity and I literally had to borrow money for rent."

If the socialists had their way, Elon would have had his paypal profits taken and redistributed for the greater good. The world would never have seen Tesla, nor SpaceX. And the world wouldn't know it, because they were uncreated, and thus unseen. Imagine the companies that don't exist, because Washington destroyed them before they were born.

History will remember Elon Musk alongside DaVinci, Gutenberg, Fulton, Pasteur, Edison, Ford and Jobs. History will have no recollection of any kind of Ro Khanna.
Ro Khanna@RoKhanna

Musk is worth more than South Africa’s GDP. @BernieSanders and I proposed a 5% tax on people like him. In one year, it could fund: - free public college & trade school -$10/day childcare - Special-needs education nationwide Wealth inequality is the moral failure of our time.

Je vais partir du principe que tu es de bonne foi, parce que ton raisonnement est intuitif et que 90% des gens le partagent. Mais il repose sur trois erreurs factuelles, et ça vaut le coup de les regarder calmement. Erreur 1 : la fortune d'Elon n'est pas un tas d'argent. C'est de la propriété d'usines, de fusées et de satellites. "Prendre la moitié de sa tune", concrètement, ça veut dire forcer la vente de la moitié de SpaceX et Tesla. L'argent ne sort pas d'un coffre, il sort des entreprises elles-mêmes, qui passent sous contrôle de fonds étrangers ou d'États. Tu ne redistribues pas du cash, tu démantèles un outil de production. C'est la différence entre récolter des pommes et découper le pommier. Erreur 2 : "ça résout énormément de problèmes dans le monde". Cette expérience a déjà été tentée, en vrai. En 2021, le directeur du Programme Alimentaire Mondial de l'ONU a affirmé que 6 milliards de Musk pouvaient "résoudre la faim dans le monde". Réponse d'Elon : décrivez-moi exactement comment, comptabilité publique à l'appui, et je vends mes actions Tesla immédiatement. Le PAM a publié son plan. Verdict : ce n'était pas "résoudre la faim", c'était nourrir 42 millions de personnes pendant un an. Un an. Puis il faut re-payer, pour toujours. Le PAM avait d'ailleurs levé 8,4 milliards l'année précédente, et la faim était toujours là. Les ONG traitent les symptômes en boucle, jamais les causes, parce que leur financement dépend de l'existence du problème. Erreur 3, la plus importante : tu cherches ce qui sort vraiment les gens de la pauvreté. Bonne nouvelle, on a la réponse, et elle est massive. En 1990, 36% de l'humanité vivait dans l'extrême pauvreté. Aujourd'hui, moins de 9%. Plus d'un milliard de personnes sorties de la misère en 30 ans. Par quoi ? Pas par la charité ni par l'aide internationale (plus de 1 000 milliards versés à l'Afrique en 60 ans pour un résultat à peu près nul). Par l'ouverture des marchés, l'industrialisation, le commerce. La Chine seule a sorti 800 millions de personnes de la pauvreté en abandonnant le collectivisme, pas en taxant ses entrepreneurs. Donc fais le calcul complet. Option A : tu confisques 500 milliards, tu finances quelques années de programmes, l'argent est consommé, et tu as détruit la machine qui produisait les fusées, les voitures électriques et l'internet des zones rurales. Option B : tu laisses le meilleur allocateur de capital de sa génération réinvestir 100% de sa fortune dans des industries qui baissent les coûts pour tout le monde et emploient des centaines de milliers de personnes. L'option A soulage ta morale pendant 18 mois. L'option B sort des populations entières de la pauvreté pour toujours. La pauvreté ne se redistribue pas. Elle se résout par la création. C'est contre-intuitif, c'est frustrant, mais c'est ce que disent 200 ans de données.

tu lui prends la moitié de sa tune ça résout énormément de problèmes dans le monde et ça ne change strictement rien à son train de vie
