I welcome you to challenge my premise if you want, but please explain how you would get rid of waste and slash deficit spending.

Do you appreciate the irony?
are fighting against...i.e. the Plutocrats/Oligarchs attempt to dismantle our government so they can become free of any restrictions on their "Divine Right" to control your life.
We want freedom. Smaller government. You people want massive government that controls the flow of public information, criminalizes free speech, crushes the middle class.

I think it would have been interesting to see his approach at scale. But, your party fucked him over, for the same reasons that they are fighting the scrutiny from Elon. Because they are corrupt to the core.
As I've said several times, the greatest side benefit of Trump 2.0 is that liberals are suddenly interested in the constitution. It will take awhile and no one will admit it is happening, but the country will be better for having gone through it.
...btw...Bernie is still a card carrying Democrat...and the party hasn't made a single move to separate him, either. Bernie Sanders competed for the nomination, but Democrats considered some of his other positions, such as Universal Health Care, to be politically untenable...not that they don't see the underlying logic of it.
Personally, I'm going to bookmark his video statement that Conor posted, and share it with fellow Dems. I'd suggest that you bookmark it as well, so you can refer to it as Musk/Trump 2.0 plays out.
And just to set the record clear, I would have voted for 2016 Bernie, I would not vote for this version because he lacks courage of conviction.
I can set aside all kinds of ideological differences if a person has courage of conviction. Tulsi, Elon and RFK Jr all have courage of conviction. Trump doesn't, but at least he has sought out those who do.
There were two candidates. One of them was Donald Trump who has proven that he is a clear and present danger to our nation. See January 6th.
Voting for a 3rd candidate in 2024 was a chickenshit cop out. You want deniability yet you are all in on Trump’s circus and his deliberate attempts to ignore the Constitution and rule of law, which you defend as “out of the box” maneuvering to trim the fat.
Your affection for Musk, Gabbard, and RFK Jr as principled persons who lead by the “courage of their convictions” reflects your horrific judgment in all matters.
Mitt Romney, Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger are people who have exhibited the “courage of their convictions.”
That was your firewall, we're supposed to listen to you and trust your judgement?
"Courage of Conviction"...attached are her 2020 political positions...now here are her CURRENT positions...
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/06/19/tulsi-gabbard-trump-vp-secretary-policy/73968445007/
Then there's RFK Jr's positions that not even Baron supports (e.g. vaccines causing Autism, etc.)...we don't need that kind of "Conviction"
And finally, Elon Musk who, like DJT, has no regard, whatsoever, for the Rule of Law...especially when it comes to authorized investigations of his businesses. Again, this is NOT the sort of Conviction we need.
Circling back to Bernie, his video just recently echoes his positions from 2016...i.e. the Super Wealthy are taking over and making life even harder for the rest of America.
Since you didn't vote for Trump...have the 'Courage of your Conviction' to do all you can to see that he does not succeed in his "Convictions".

To me it's easy to see which person is being authentic and at least believes what they are saying.
is Vladimir Putin...and Elon has access to very sensitive U.S. security information...plus his business actions have been under investigation...you are not being Objective at all about him. Then there's Tulsi's multiple flip-flops, and RFK Jr's bizarre positions on anything...as well as his own abuse of drugs.
And you consider Sen. Schumer a problem?
What do you actually believe in? Not Trump...Not Dems...What?
This is why I asked you if you even remember when you lost all credibility.
the rule of law…that’s called credibility. You on the other hand provide nothing…that is Not credibility.
Not sure what your belief system is, but when it spans Bernie Sanders admiration to defense of Donald Trump, it is definitely “Incredible”.

substituting 'Socialism' for 'Capitalism'...it is folks like you who are wittingly or un-wittingly supporting the removal of Democracy for Autocracy...i.e. the kind of oppression that our nation was formed to rid ourselves of. Wake Up to Reality.
Clinton also wanted a balanced budget aND he also slashed spending.
was no need to do so...and he want's to do this again, ergo the raising of the Debt Limit demand by him.
Every which way he can, DJT is carrying out Vladimir Putin's goal of destroying America...and the rest of the Free World.

the richest man in the world (outside of Putin) with multi-billions in government contracts to be the judge of his performances on those contracts...it's called "Conflict of Interest".
Note that Democrats prosecuted and convicted a Senator from their own party for corruption...clock ticking on whether any GOP notable suffers the same fate...at the hands of Convicted Felon, Donald Trump.

who has a LONG history of committing Fraud and wasting taxpayer money (e.g. SS agents housed in his hotels and paying Premium prices...etc., etc., etc....)
See the attached article for more insight into the relationship between Trump and Inspectors General. ;-)
You're beginning to sound just a lawless as DJT.

I think you would have to believe that in order to circle your wagons around IGs who, in their very job description, are charged with identifying waste, fraud and abuse. It's literally all they are supposed to do.

forget the already begun investigations of his businesses and his security clearances that are being stopped. DO NOT place your trust in Elon Musk.
It doesn't look good, Tyrone.
officials into doing what they'd rather not do...it's actually happening in front of you...is this the America you want?

...and who have a track record of doing just that...and stop lying about USAID spending...
Why do you take the side of a Convicted Fraud with no ethics or morals who built his business on cheating contractors, and still going bankrupt multiple times...never mind his other criminal indictments still pending?
