:rofl: TDS so raging you can't even think straight. How exactly does you quoting yourself change the fact Musk got contracts to produce actual physical products that benefit millions?

I suggest you check into a mental hospital, because it's going to be a LOOONG head-splody four years for you, Mr nutjob.
Did you fall and hit your head? Have you been hospitalized? Your ability to reason appears to be severely impacted by an injury, stroke, or similar.

I quoted my post that showed MAQA yahoos spreading misinformation about Politico and USAID.

Government employees don't need information? They shouldn't subscribe to sources of information? Sources that cost money? That's bullshit and you know it. You're reaching for an excuse to differentiate between criticizing some entities and not others that get paid by the government.

If government spending is on the chopping block then all of it has to be on the chopping block including spending that benefits musk.

Would you care to take the bet that BobQat chickened out of?
Hey I am all for cutting off Elon Musks subsidies but this isn't even remotely on the same planet as what going on with USAID. One is hidden fucking robbery and the other is a transparent government program anyone can look up

First off TDS, you need to stop conflating our discussions with anyone else's like a child would do. "MOMMY! He did it!". I made no mention of Politico taking money from USAID. Secondly, did Musk take money from USAID? No.

Lastly, "Government needs information"? Are you kidding? They need left leaning Politico for news? :dunce: :dunce: :dunce:

Check yourself in now. Seriously, something is wrong with you.

$100….donated to championshipsubdivision.com.

Story must be verified media outlets like AP, Reuters, NYT, WaPo, Guardian.

You’re on.
Your terms are not acceptable.

As of today i am only following X and Fox as legit news outlets. The world know knows that ALL media is bought and paid for propaganda from US tax dollars.

I do love it that you know I am right
Fox like MSNBC is infotainment. I’m talking about real news outlets who employ actual journalists, ombudsman, etc.

Twitter isn’t a news source but hey!…All major legit outlets have Twitter feeds. So you’re in luck!

So we’re back on! We do need to put a time frame on this one though. Since you’re sure of it…what shoukd it be? A week? A month?

So more than 38 million dollars isn't a lot of money? Got it.

Question for you? What is a lot of money?

40 million for AIDS drugs for transgender prostitutes in South Africa?

50 million for condoms in MAGAza?

37 million to the WHO?


Is it only a lot of money by each of the 50 thousand line items or are we allowed to combine all of it into hundreds of billions and then count it as a lot of money? If I am gonna play with quacks I want to know the quack rules

:crybaby: Did your usual. Conflate a statement and then backtrack.

You tried to say Elon took government money just like Politico. He did and he had to produce a product. Politico, simply sold subscriptions to an existing service. The two are not the same.

You apparently are okay with Politico receiving over 8 million dollars in highly over inflated subscriptions, in which many were simply propaganda. Who do you think pushed the Hunter laptop lie? Only a government employee as yourself would defend such willful wasting of taxpayer dollars.

Uni St Behar. Perfect description.

He knows he has nothing so he mixes it up and when you think another "But Trump" is coming he fakes and throws a cheap shot "But Elon" instead

So you don’t know that the condoms to Gaza thing is a complete fraud?

Politico received $44,000 (not $38 million) from USAID.

There is a whole lot of unsubstantiated bullsh!t in the information being spread about USAID payments.

Please provide a link to reputable news sources substantiating that USAID provided $38 million to Politico.

And don't give me some tweet by some MAQA yahoo shill who's pushing the agenda rather than the truth.

What? It’s a highly reasonable rule for a fair bet. One that you challenged. We could have a centrist like UNI’88 or Ganny pick the sources.

But if you still want to back down from your bet, I understand.

JoBozo treated USAID the same way he treated little Hunter when he was a kid….. gave Hunter 100 bucks to order a pizza and Joe runs off to the beach for the weekend ….
what little Hunter did with that money was not a concern for Joe because he was a bad father and this type of behavior transcend to the horrible President loser Jojo was…. And then when Joey Rotten gets home and finds hookers and blow all over the house, he tries to cover it up
