Would it be better or worse if they were all made on the same day?

It is eeally odd that the company, Tesla, is fighting so hard to give away 56 BILLION DOLLARS. That really does not sound like an efficient use of resources. I mean, how much money did they spend just on fighting these legal battles to give away even more money? Seems like the more efficient thing to do would be to accept the first decision that allowed them to keep all of that money.

The person or people pushing for this pay package should never put in a position to evaluate and recommend effeciency of anything. Fortunately, there are only a small handful of people on this planet stupid enough to assign them to such a position. 🙄

The Biden administration has been working since last year with Israel and international mediators, including Qatar and Egypt, on a cease-fire deal that would include release of the hostages.

I’m sure this is just a coincidence and all that was really needed to end the conflict was an old man yelling “Don’t make me come in there”.

After all, Hamas has such a long history of being scared of the US and trying to avoid poking that particular bear. /s

Elon Musk floats buying MSNBC, but he’s not the only billionaire who may be interested

Former President Trump said the “biggest mistake” of his presidency was picking “bad, disloyal people” to join his administration.

That and similar incidents probably played a big part in that decision.

🤔

They forgot to say “and this time we mean it”. How is Russia supposed to take NATO seriously if they don’t include that?

Sen. Roger Marshall of Kansas has spent WAY too much time thinking about genitals.

How does his definition accommodate for intersex and hermaphrodites? With his medical background he surely is aware of these conditions and didn’t ignore them just to accommodate his own personal prejudice, right?

No. He helped to shield the reputation of an accused rapist, pedophile, and sex trafficker.

By nominating Gaetz, Trump gave him an excuse to resign that has nothing to do with the ethics probe against him. After he resigned, the Republican led ethics committee was allowed to withhold the release of the ethics report. Once that was done, Gaetz withdrew from the nomination ensuring that the report also does not come up during confirmation hearings. Thus all of his dark secrets remain hidden in the shadows allowing him to reoffend and / or seek other positions of influence.

Reading the Kelly Loeffler Wikipedia page to see just how unqualified for this position she is.

Loeffler aligned with President Donald Trump in her time in the Senate, touting a “100 percent Trump voting record” during her campaigns.[3][4] After the November 2020 election, Loeffler and Perdue claimed without evidence that there had been unspecified failures in the 2020 U.S. presidential election, and called for the resignation of Georgia secretary of state Brad Raffensperger, who rejected the accusations. She later supported a lawsuit by Trump allies seeking to overturn the election results,[5] and also announced her intention to object to the certification of the Electoral College results in Congress.

Due in part to her stance on the Black Lives Matter movement, and the resulting criticism expressed by many players on the Dream roster and within the league, in February 2021 Loeffler sold her stake in the team.

Loeffler donated portions of her Senate salary to anti-abortion pregnancy centers and an anti-LGBTQ adoption agency.

During the 2024 United States presidential election, Loeffler was a top donor to Donald Trump, having contributed more than $4.9 million to his re-election effort.

And there is so much more in that wiki page.

🤣 OMG! How did I forget about the GAO! That is painfully hilarious.

I think social media provides a good reference to start speculating an answer to your question.

Did they mean his concept of a plan?

Isn’t the Department of Government Efficiency going to have 2 heads? Doesn’t sound very efficient to me.

As predicted:

Trump named Gaetz to cabinet position giving him an excuse to step down as rep, the ethics report can then be withheld since he is no longer a Congressman facing accusations, he then withdrawals from the cabinet position so it doesn’t come up in confirmation hearings.

Good job on protecting pedophiles and sex traffickers!

Is that what they meant by “Drain the swamp”?

Is this because he wants to share a bathroom with Sarah McBride? Feels more than a little pervy on his part.

Whew. At least they didn’t wait until after the election when it would be too late to have any meaningful impact. /s

The problem with statements like this is that they only ever seem to be made by narcissists who thinks work is only those efforts that directly benefit them. The end of my “work day” is when I start my other job of working for myself. I manage my home, I take care of my garden, I put effort into maintaining or improving my physical and mental well being, I foster and build the relationships in my life that I care about, etc. All of that is work, it’s just work that I do for myself and don’t get a paycheck for.
