A 19 year old with the online handle "BIG BALLS" is now a DOGE "Senior Advisor"....

 

I Regret to Inform You That a 19-Year-Old DOGE Stooge Named ‘Big Balls’ Is Now Advising the State Department

 

And could you buy him a beer after work. 

 

Maybe they'll transfer him over to SS so he can steal Grandma's pocketbook before pushing her wheelchair off a cliff. 🤑

Elon Musk Targets Social Security and Benefits for Cuts, Claiming Widespread Fraud

 

Called it. ✅

 

Trump said he wouldn't touch Social Security Medicare or Medicaid.

 

"Technically true"

 

HIs African Chainsaw Massacre Moron will cut it. 😳

 

You see, in the twisted ketamine warped mind of a Billionaire who wears t-shirts to cabinet meetings...

 

Grandma is  "waste", "fraud" and "abuse".

 

She's collecting SS, but not doing any work.

 

That old "fraud" is probably just sitting around the house all day doing 17 different drugs.

 

What a "waste" of resources.

 

Did Grandma even thank Musk for the wonderful things he's doing?

 

What an ungrateful "abuse" of government resources.

 

That money should be going into Musk's pockets.

 

Get out of Elon's way, Granny.

 

And get your old, feeble hands off Musk's money.😃

You're lying.  Please stop.  No one believes you.

What do I have to do with Trump money? I am a Swede, who invested largely in crypto currency at a very early stage. Today, I have all my money in crypto and Thai baht.

Are you insane, or does comments like that just float out naturally from your unknowning mouth

Trump said “radical left lunatics” are “illegally and collusively” boycotting Tesla, which the president described as one of the best automakers in the world. This action, Trump said, was meant as an attack on Musk and what he stands for.

 

It is not illegal for consumers to boycott companies. The Supreme Court in 1982 ruled the First Amendment protects Americans’ rights to protest private businesses.

 

Musk’s support of Trump in the runup to last year’s presidential election and subsequent leadership in his government efficiency initiative has sparked backlash. Analysts have cited this reputational shift as a driver of trouble for the automaker’s stock, which posted its worst day since 2020 on Monday and is down 45% in 2025.

 

Musk acknowledged the hit to his businesses in an interview Monday, saying he was running them “with great difficulty” because of his high-profile role with this administration. He told Fox Business that as head of DOGE, “you’re giving up your other stuff.”

 

Reports of vandalized Tesla vehicles and dealerships, as well as protests, offered evidence of mounting opposition to Musk hitting a boiling point. A drop in European sales raised alarm that Musk’s presence as a political figure across the world was hampering the brand image.

 

“When people’s cars are in jeopardy of being keyed or set on fire out there, even people who support Musk or are indifferent Musk might think twice about buying a Tesla,” Baird analyst Ben Kallo said Monday on CNBC’s “Squawk on the Street.”

 

Trump said in his post that Musk is doing a “fantastic job” and “putting it on the line” to help the U.S. His comments follow a New York Times report last week that unveiled criticisms from Cabinet members of Musk’s government efficiency initiatives.

Musk just said the quiet part out loud on his Fox News interview...

 

Trump will have Musk cut Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid and then they will lie about it and call it "waste fraud and abuse".

 

Then they will give that money to Musk and other Billionaires in the form of tax cuts.

 

And of course, it's not really about waste fraud and abuse. 

 

It's about stealing taxpayers money and then lying about it to cover up the heist. 🛎️🛎️🛎️🛎️

 

Oh and they will add BILLIONS to the deficit this year, because after the American economy plunges like a rock, Trump will try and throw $$$$$ into the economy possibly causing runaway inflation in order to make things look better than it seems.

 

All because people like you hate immigrants. 😆

Are you sure? It must be a very good scheme, as I have banked in several Bitcoins at over 65k USD. Today, standing in over 80k. After that, it´s just to lay low and look at signals, go in and buy stock of coins with low value. They usually double themselves in about a week, and just sell again. double the money you know. Not bad for a Ponzi scheme, dude!

What are you on about? If you don´t believe what I post, then up to you. Why wouldn´t I be on a Thai forum. Do you by any chance know that different persons have different interests. One of mine is posting my opinions, reading news and what other people think. What are your excuse for being on this forum? That you are broke, down on luck, lonely and seeking some kind of verification and bound?

NO ... myself, would like to see a 'fair' flat tax, across the board.  15-20-25-30%   Everyone pays the same % income tax.

 

People shouldn't be penalized simply for being successful and wanting more.  They earned it, they keep it.

 

You work in a factory, you get $1 for every piece you produce for the day.

... you produce 100 pieces, you get $100

... your co-worker produced 50 pieces, and got $50

... you have to give $25 to your coworker, because you have more

 

There's your tax system ... FAIR ???

"Medicaid" plays a crucial role in providing healthcare coverage to low-income individuals, a demographic that is often significant in rural communities. 

 

Exit polls indicated that 57% of rural voters cast their ballots for Trump.

 

Congratulations!

 

If you don't know you're being conned by the Flimflam Man, you sir or madam are exactly what the Conman refer to as their "mark". 🏆

 

 

In the context of con games, a "mark" is the intended victim of a scam or deception. The term refers to someone who is targeted because they are perceived as gullible, vulnerable, or easily manipulated. Con artists carefully select marks based on their likelihood of falling for a scheme, often exploiting their emotions, greed, ignorance, or trust.

Hello 1996!

The Silver Spoon Failson with zits Steve Forbes already proposed that.

America's greatest prosperity was the 1950s where tax rates exceeded 90%, very UN flatly.

Flat taxes penalize lower income people.  Duh.

Bad for working class.

So many taxes are flat and they hurt the poor and middle class more.

Congestion pricing.

Gas pump taxes.

Etc, etc, etc.

Successful people should pay more taxes.

They're getting more benefits out of the system.

Of course they should pay more.

Those that are able to do more should do more.

It's the Christian thing to do and just common sense...

 

Don't reckon you greedy selfish amoral people got much of that.

 

Obviously. 😂

 

Flat income taxes burden lower earners proportionally more while reducing tax obligations for the wealthy, increasing inequality and limiting public services that benefit most people.

 

It's as simple as that. ✅

That much is obvious.  And supposedly, they're finding so much waste, fraud, and abuse that it blows their mind.  For example, all sorts of Medicare money being sent overseas, even though that's not supposed to be possible.  And some of it to 12-year-olds.  

"supposedly, they're finding so much waste, fraud, and abuse"

Yeah, like "it's a well-known fact" but no actual instances of waste, fraud, and abuse documented.

I can tell you have never worked in a factory a single day in your entire life.

What you're describing is what we in America call a "sweatshop". 

 

Sweatshops exploit workers with low wages, unsafe conditions, and long hours, prioritizing profit over human rights, often in countries with weak labor protections.

 

And no, our tax system doesn't work like that. 😂

 

People who make more money are not giving to people who make less.

 

False.

 

People who make more money hire accountants so they can pay less taxes than Working Class people like teachers, nurses and firefighters.

 

Why do you think Trump has never showed his taxes?

 

Rich people in America have become freeloaders and bums not pulling their weight. 😭
