Democrats unhinged

Democrats unhinged

Here are just some of the choice comments made by democrats ranting about Elon Musk.

Chuck Schumer (D-NY)

“An unelected shadow government is conducting a hostile takeover of the federal government.DOGE is not a real government agency. DOGE has no authority to make spending decisions. DOGE has no authority to shut programs down or to ignore federal law. DOGE’s conduct cannot be allowed to stand. Congress must take action to restore the rule of law.

Hey Chuck, If this is true then won’t the courts shut them down? You certainly have enough lawsuits going.

Maxine Waters (D-CA)

“We have got to tell Elon Musk that nobody elected your ass. Nobody told you you could get all of our private information. Nobody told you you could be in charge of the payments of this country”.

“We have told you that you’ve made enough money off our government yourself, and now you want to take everybody else’s payroll and make sure that they don’t make the kind of money that you’ve made. Oh, you want to use our money to go to Mars.”

“We’re in a crisis in this country because Trump and Elon Musk and the billionaires have decided they’re going to put us all in our place. They’re going to run this country. They’re going to make sure that they take over everything”.

“Are we going to let them do that? Are we going to let them run this government in the way that they can make even more money and so they won’t stop? It is so brazen every day they’re taking new actions. They’re taking executive actions. Every day they’re doing something,”

BTW, Waters, a millionaire herself, must have ignored the influence wielded by democrat billionaires over the past four years. Forbes reported that 83 billionaires supported democrats in the last election while 52 backed Trump.  Laurene Powell Jobs, Bill Gates, Jonathan Gray, Marc Benioff, Mark Cuban, George and Alex Soros, Reid Hoffman, Crystal Sacca, Jamie Dimon, David Geffen, Jennifer Pritzker, Barry Diller, Stanley and Karen Hubbard, William and John Fisher, Tom Steyer, Craig Newmark, Steven Rales, David Hall, Gordon Getty, George Lucas, Dean Metropoulos, Steven Spielberg, Eric Schmidt, William Ackman, Andres Santo Domingo, Christy Walton, Eli Broad, Jim Simons, Mark Zuckerberg, Michael Bloomberg and David Bonderman are just some of those who we know about. I didn’t hear Mad Max railing about these billionaires. I guess they were just supporting Kamala out of the goodness of their hearts and had no influence whatsoever on Biden and his policies.

Squad Member Ayanna Pressley (D-MA)

“Elon Musk is a Nazi nepo baby, a godless lawless billionaire, who no one elected. Elon, this is the American people. This is not your trashy Cybertruck that you can just dismantle, pick apart, and sell the pieces of. We will see you in the court, in Congress, in the streets.”

Nazi nepo baby? A godless lawless billionaire? Well no one is perfect. I admit the Cybertruck is a bit weird. I don’t think that it is street legal in Europe or China. I have counted four in my neighborhood environs along with two Hummer EVs. They are huge but so is my extended cab, extended bed, diesel F-250.  Is Elon going to make a mini-cyber for Europe and China?

Squad Member Jasmine Crockett (D-TX)

“We are gonna be in your face, we are gonna be on your ass, and we are going to make sure you understand what democracy looks like, and this ain’t it.”

Maxine. Jasmine. What’s this fixation with Musk’s rear end?

Squad Member Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-NJ)

“God damn it shut down the Senate!”  “We will not take this. We will fight back!” “Anytime a person can pay $250 million into a campaign, and they be given full access to the Department of the Treasury of the United States of America, we are at war!”

War? LaMonica? I wonder if her parents read my blog about turning “white” names into “black” ones by adding “La” to them? Didn’t Bill Gates give the Harris campaign $50 million? Didn’t Michael Bloomberg give $47 billion? BTW LaMonica, surely Joe Biden and Kamala Harris weren’t running the last government. George and Alex Soros anyone?

Squad Member Summer Lee (D-PA)

“I don’t believe that we can afford to mince many words. President Trump is conducting an illegal and dangerous power grab, to call it what it is. Elon Musk is stealing from you, the American people, your jobs, your benefits, your data.”

I guess the EPA, the FBI, the IRS, DOJ and the CFPB were not conducting dangerous power grabs over the last four years. The courts will tell us whether what Musk is doing is illegal.

Squad Member Ilhan Omar (D-MN)

“So let me get this straight, he wants contracts for cancer research cancelled but says let’s keep contracts for his company SpaceX to do research. Greedy billionaire trying to ripoff the American people pretending to be altruistic is all I see.”

 Omar is referring to the freeze put on HHS funding initiatives until Robert Kennedy, Jr and his team could review them. That meant long-standing meetings designed to allocate grant money to medical research were canceled without indication they would be rescheduled. One of those meetings concerned cancer research.

Squad Member Rashida Tlaib (D-MI)

“The American people feel very much we’re in a constitutional crisis. They cannot understand, you know, this billionaire. … And to think that he can just walk in, to an agency that I can tell you, for many of my families, from Social Security, Medicare, I mean, it is literally part of how they survive in our country.”

Seems like they are all reading from the same playbook. I want them to take a poll in Tlaib’s district to see how many there think we are in a “constitutional crisis.” Did she think we were in a constitutional crisis when Biden ignored the law and ignored the courts with his actions on illegals and on student debt?

Greg Casar (D-TX), Head of the Congressional Progressive Caucus

“Five inspector generals that were looking into Elon Musk’s companies were fired by the Trump-Musk administration. These inspector generals, who are independent, protected by law, they are the people that find the waste, fraud, and abuse, and found many of the cases of waste, fraud and abuse that have been brought up today — fired because they were looking into Elon Musk. You know what Elon Musk doesn’t seem to be looking into? His own contracts. …  Just last year, Elon Musk was promised $3 billion from close to 100 contracts with the federal government.” 

Greg, If the IGs were doing their job there would be no need for DOGE. But of course, there is no government waste and fraud, right?

Robert Garcia (D-CA)

 “What the American public wants is for us to bring actual weapons to this bar fight. This is an actual fight for democracy.”

Is this a threat? Obviously not since Garcia later said “No reasonable person would view my comments as a threat.” Well what about all those crazy unreasonable people out there, Robert?

Rep. Melanie Stansbury (D-N.M.) 

“While we’re sitting here and Donald Trump and Elon Musk are recklessly and illegally dismantling the federal government, shuttering federal agencies, firing federal workers, withholding funds vital to the safety and well-being of our communities and hacking our sensitive data systems.” 

Thanks Melanie. For a while it looked like only minorities were anti-Musk. But of course you did minor in American Indian studies.

Squad Member Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY)

“This dude is probably one of the most unintelligent billionaires I have ever met or seen or witnessed,”

“This dude is not smart, and the danger in the lack of intelligence and the lack of expertise that Elon has, I mean, this guy is one of the most morally vacant but also just least knowledgeable about these systems that we know of,”

“They don’t do their homework, clearly. Like, they’re putting 19-year-olds in at the Treasury.”

“What Donald Trump has done is that he has completely given up his power and handed a lot of it over to Elon Musk. Elon Musk has appointed some teenagers and some people in their early 20s into essentially trying to raid government systems.”

“I’m not rocking with anybody sympathetic to Nazis”

Hold it! AOC who is not the most erudite person in Congress called Musk dumb? The founder of Tesla and Space X dumb? Did you get rid of your dumb Tesla? Did you see how dumb Musk’s dumb Space X caught that dumb rocket booster descending back to the dumb launch pad at Boca Chica, Texas? What a dumb thing to say.

What is interesting to me is that 82 percent of democrats say that reducing government waste and fraud is important but only 28 percent approve of Musk and DOGE. What I want to hear is how democrats would eliminate waste and fraud because all I hear is caterwauling over Musk. So dems, what would you do? Silence.
