kscarbel2 Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 The Department of Government Efficiency website. (Check it daily) https://doge.gov/ “In fact, our actions… we post our actions to the DOGE Handle on X and to the Doge website. So all of our actions are maximally transparent. In fact, I don’t think there’s been, I don’t know of a case where an organization has been more transparent than the DOGE organization.” Elon Musk 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74730-best-of-trump/page/32/#findComment-569323 Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is what you get as a result of industrial agriculture on a commodity-based system rather than subsistence agriculture or farms operating on a direct-to-consumer model. Prices for that stuff will never come down under the current arrangement. Big ag is no joke. The entire industry (row cropping) is a monopoly controlled by about 5 or 6 entities. JD, Archer Daniels Midland, Bayer, Dow Cargill & most importantly the US Govt. The meat side of it is no better. Vertically integrated into oblivion. Owned by 3 or 4 corporations. Farming in this country has been made into a disaster IMO.

Popular Post 67RModel Posted February 14 Popular Post Share Posted February 14 (edited) I know Trump, for the most part, actually does what he says he is going to do. I think sometime in December he mentioned DOGE, but had probably been preemptively planning it for a while in case he won the election. But here it is on a website you can somewhat follow along on. It almost seems fake. Like this stuff I'm reading the department is flagging for elimination is bat$hit bizarre. Like a $25,000 debit for "empowering LGTBQIA+ refugees in Greece". Like who is authorizing this garbage. Its almost like it isn't real. Assuming it is real the transparency is insane. Like this department is literally opening these crooked books for everyone to see. I can't ever recall a time where anything like this has happened before. Maybe that is why it almost seems fake....The level of transparency and bluntness is nothing you would ever get from an establishment politician.

Popular Post tjc transport Posted February 14 Popular Post Share Posted February 14 4 hours ago, kscarbel2 said: On Thursday, Washington DC Biden-appointed Judge Amir Ali ordered that funds for hundreds of foreign aid contracts be reinstated, saying the decision to suspend funding for 90 days while conducting a thorough review of each contract and its validity has not been justified or rationalized. Elon Musk immediately hit out at the ruling. "Lawfare has gotten out of control. They have been planning the lawfare against the Trump administration for 2 years. They have 800 lawyers and 280 civil service organizations. They were pre-interviewing plaintiffs in November of 2024. That is not me saying this. That is the New York Times saying this." "This constitutional crisis narrative has been planned in advance and is being executed because they have hundreds of lawsuits planned." Elon Musk that judge should be fire immediately and have his federal security clearance revoked. he is clearly part of the swamy and benefiting from the graft he is permitting to proceed being handed out. 3 Quote when you are up to your armpits in alligators, it is hard to remember you only came in to drain the swamp..

67RModel Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 (edited) I know there is concerns with the "legality" or involvement of Musk in the administration. I've heard him called a "co president" as well as the same unelected bureaucrat he seeks to eliminate. I personally have zero issue with the man. I just wish he would not use his privately owned X platform as the basis for DOGE's website. I don't know how X makes money. I'm guessing from advertising throughout peoples' feeds. Obviously Musk doesn't need the money and I don't believe he is doing this for profit but using X as a quasi government website is a blatant conflict of interest and low lying fruit for the opposition. Hopefully there is something in the works that doesn't involve X. That however is a catch 22. Creating a new government website to post government waste and inefficiencies on is indeed wasteful and inefficient 😁 Edited February 14 by 67RModel 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74730-best-of-trump/page/32/#findComment-569343 Share on other sites More sharing options...

kscarbel2 Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 President Trump said on Friday that he planned to move forward with tariffs on foreign cars on April 2. He did not specify how much the tariffs would be or which nations could be targeted. The President has complained particularly about European tariffs on American cars. The European Union charges a 10 percent tariff on the American vehicles it imports, while the United States charges a tariff of only 2.5 percent on European cars (Lyndon Johnson's chicken tax, a holdover from 1964, does apply a 25 percent tariff on imported European light trucks).
