Come on Millennials, we use to be great at bullying. If we push hard enough, we could have a few suicides by the 4th of July. The rest of us can work on Musk. Maybe by labor day we can get thim.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

It's a wake up call to me how much power there is for the wealthy. No other type of person outside of government could have done what he did.
I've said this before and I'll say it again:
Imagine if this was a democrat presidency with a democrat controlled congress.
Understanding the conservative mind means accepting "my group is good. when my group does something, it's good." That's it. Well, that and "whatever is good for me and mine right now is good".
There's no grand underlying theory or unifying thought. They're just assholes
Or so propagandized that they are effectively brain damaged, my grandmother was raised by folks who were progressive Republicans and first voted in the 1800s for Theodore Roosevelt. She is still under the propagandized delusions that the modern Republican party is the same one her grand parents and great grandparents voted for.
"Help they're forcing us to have free healthcare and social safety nets."
Haha. We wish don't we.
Not the point I was making though. I'm saying if dems were doing what maga is doing now, Republicans would be in the streets with their assault rifles or something, the point is they wouldn't stand for this if it were dems, they're hypocrites.
But dems wouldn't be doing anything like this, as we all know.
Why would dems ever do that when they can keep raking in lobbist money and illegally insider trade?
Then literally nothing would change in regards to oligarchy.
Musk has no problem scamming neo-liberals. Just look at spacex and the hyperloop.
Most people inside the government couldn't have either
I hope BigBalls is OK
He is. He can always go back popping pop corn at his dads company.
Because he is good at popping pop corn right? Because it was a meritorious hire. Right?
Right?
Do you think his balls are big because of an infection? Elon can’t urinate, Trump shits himself. What is with these people?
Best news today... A bright spot.
GTFO!! Don't let the door slam on your ass on the way out!!
😂 🤣
Well... here's the thing; once Mush's doggies are out, Trump is gonna put in his own cronies and they'll probably be agenda driven fanatics rather then Techbro fail sons. While I'm not sure, I think that a step worse?
Cabinet heads are hiring back employees who were dismissed during the mass purge
Hopefully they get to keep any redundancy payouts AND come back on higher wages. After all, if they’re being hired back then it shows their role was critical.
From Big Balls to “Ow! My Balls”
Shit. I know shit's bad right now, with all that starving bullshit, and the dust storms, and we are running out of french fries and burrito coverings. But I got a solution...
.... pretending the whole time that they have any balls
How do you work for this bell-end without being tarred and feathered by your peers?
We're doing something wrong.
Time for MAGA to accept that it was entirely a grift.
I might not mind living in interesting times if the people who vote for Republicans would all realize they’ve been duped and choose to join the protests against the GOP politicians. If non-rich Americans could all work together, there’d be no stopping us.
You can't even consistently convince liberals that Kamala is better than this shit. And you think adding a bunch of conservatives will help?
I see your point. A way out of this that doesn’t require their support l would probably be quicker, but it would be far more peaceful and lasting if we get it.
Good! The idea that they were ever allowed in in the first place was kind of crazy.
Some 22 year old kid: "Yeah, I need access to all your employee records."
Correct answer: "GTFO!"
OH NOOOOOOOO
Anyway...
They should've been pushed out even if emotional Musk was present
They shouldn't have been there in the first place. It's like removing a tumor.
While i understand people need to have a job they shouldnt come back. I wouldnt. I hope all of then found something more worthwhile already
That makes DOGE win.
That would just generate more waste. The people who were dismissed already have all the relevant knowledge and skills and won't need to ~~rump~~ ramp up like a new hire.
Edit: Freud
It's not like their boss fired them.
Continuing saga of The Oops We Made A Mistake Party.
Can I see a raise of hands who saw that coming? I know we all did :P
Victory!
They got all the data. They won.
