Silly fools firebombing Tesla vehicles. Don’t like Tesla or Musk don’t buy 1. Simple.

Musk crying with outrage is hilarious. Only tears for himself. Zero sympathy.
SpaceX is more valuable than Tesla now. But like Tesla needs govt subsidies. I have no doubt when Trump and the Republicans are gone Musk just might struggle to continue to receive huge govt subsidies.

Well, the Ukrainians were talking to PooMan from 2014 up until 2022,there were a number of agreements.ALL of which Russia broke.

Why negotiate with a DICKtator who murders your people, destroys your villages, towns and has no respect for international law.A person who is classified as a war criminal, eliminates all political opposition and doesnt recognise Ukraine as a sovereign nation.

I don't know who Rogan endorses. I don't really care. I'm just listening to the episode with Woody Harrelson. He's a legend and I was actually thinking about him recently. I don't see him acting much recently but I love his work. I noticed this episode and started listening, let's see what he has to say.

Dont worry i don't think many people really know who Rogan has endorsed over time, but here's his history of political endorsement

Before:

He voted Democrats and openly endorsed

Bernie Sanders
Obama
Tulsi
RFK (also independent)
Elon(Democrat voter)

Now

This election voted Republican and endorsing

Trump
Tulsi
RFK
Elon (Republican employee)

But as you would know, he has people on his show from all political background's and walks of life and most guest and eposodes aren't about politics.

You know that, i know that, but some others dont know that.

Grifters eventually realise it’s easier to
grift on the right, where the free market, money and corruption are much more tolerated.
A Federal Judge has just ruled that Musk is the leader of DOGE , and is therefore not allowed
to
make all the decisions that he has made, because he wasn’t confirmed by the senate and is therefore unconstitutional.
Hopefully all his axing may be reversed.

This is interesting and good to see Trump sticking to another promise, but i doubt it will give all the answers people want though.

"Trump reveals 'big secrets' concerning JFK assassination; releases 80,000 page document

US President Donald Trump released material related to the 1963 assassination of former President John F. Kennedy on March 19, seeking to honor his campaign promise to provide more transparency about the shock event in Texas. An initial tranche of electronic copies of papers flooded into the National Archives website, opens new tab in the evening with a total of more than 80,000 expected to be published after Justice Department lawyers spent hours scouring them.

The digital documents, including PDFs of previously classified memos, offers a window into the climate of fear at the time surrounding U.S. relations with the Soviet Union shortly after the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962 nearly led to a nuclear war.

The release is nonetheless likely to intrigue people who have long been fascinated with a dramatic period in history, with the assassination and with Kennedy himself."

They were actually Jewish people protesting against the fascist regime of Trump,

Hmm interesting, good point, you have to be skeptical these days, it could be AI.

But it could be real, if DOGE was overseen by some unknown and not under Trump, im sure people would be praising it.

There should be some independent non political body in Australia that does the same at every level federal, state, council's.

DOGE and Musk are an unaccountable entity,
allowed to function as part of the Federal Government , without any oversight ,
This isn’t reform its technological autocracy.
And has been found unconstitutional by a
Federal judge.
If DOGE has nothing to hide, then why not make the data public?
DOGE isn’t about controlling information,
it’s about dismantling oversight.
