These grants were cancelled by the Dept of Govt Efficiency (DOGE) to reduce waste & inefficiency in govt spending.

Vance has addressed this. He said specifically that he believed what the media said for years until he too discovered they were full of crap. And he's seen it in real time with our media. When he went for an interview on the news networks, they would just sit and debate him. Whereas, if Kamala or Tim Walz came on, they would literally make defenses for them, and they wouldn't make them answer anything. The only person who even remotely challenged Kamala was Brett Baier from Fox News, and since Fox was the only media that wouldn't edit and cut the interview, she showed up late and gave them very little material to work with. The media really covered for her to try to get her to win the election. She could not answer a question legitimately if it saved her life.
During Trump's debate with Kamala, they fact checked him constantly but didn't fact check her even if she blatantly lied.
During Vance's debate with Walz, they "fact checked" him on border laws but he actually had receipts and was going to explain how they were wrong in full detail, and they cut his mic.

This kind of media bias is what made him realize how full of crap the media is.

Oh this one’s easy! FOX NEWS IS NOT ACTAUL JOURNALISM. it’s a legit propaganda website as even stated by google.

I think we may have gotten to the root of the problem, fun guy.

I love how you very selectively ignored everything I said and chose to reply to the only thing Dems have a song-and-dance motto for: Fox is not actual journalism. However, that wasn't the point. My point was Fox was the only news source NOT to cut and edit their interviews with Kamala, and the first to actually challenge her on anything. Everyone else sat and debated Trump and Vance for Kamala, but when she got on, they covered for her and didn't ask her any tough questions, trying not to expose her. None of the big name medias do real journalism. They're bold faced liars. That's one of the reason independent research and social media is becoming how people get information nowadays. Nobody who sees the cultural landscape and the media's representation of it, trusts the media anymore, and rightfully so. I'm not going to deny Fox has been right-wing biased (even though they're owned by leftists now), but let's be real, do you really think CNN, MSNBC, The Atlantic, The View, all these sources of news are doing good journalism either? Heck, Joy Reid just got fired bc her whole show was basically bashing people for their skin color, religious beliefs, and gender, but in a "politically correct" way. The Atlantic changed its stances on mask mandates simply to contradict Trump (just like the CDC and WHO, who literally gave an assessment on masks, which Trump echoed from THEM, and then they 180ed and said he was trying to kill Americans).

Oh, and Google has been owned by left wingers for a very long time. Heck, idk if you remember this, but Google was openly campaigning for Obama in 2012. If you pulled up the Google search engine, it would have an ad that said "President Obama needs your help" and had a link where you could donate to the administration, and that was for several months leading up to the election. They never did that for Romney or any Republican. Google is a great encyclopedia, but not everything it says is fact. Heck, Google says the universe is 13 billion years old, when we don't know how old the earth is, but imo it ain't anywhere near that.

No I am tlaking about core beliefs, the things that make poeple who they are. Left wingers are built on NOTHING , that is why they change politically as often as the wind blows. If Aoc said eating dog shit was a way to stop climate change .. her followers would eat dog shit. They're empty hallow shells of people waiting to be told what to do.

I’ve always been an independent and base each political decision on what’s best for myself and my family at the time. If you continue to stack manure on top of old manure you still just end up with a big pile of 💩

That is how conservatives and any person with sommon sense, see liberal policies, shit on top of shit. Yet Liberals keep piling on, open borders, weak on crime legislations, pandering to criminals, spending tax money on ridiculous unproven concepts, unending wars, (<- both parties are responsible for that ) and punishing citizens when they protect their selves from the shit dem policy allows.

See how you went from "core beliefs" to "liberal policies?" These are not the same things. My set of core beliefs influences my political decisions however I just told you above that any political party's policies are not my core beliefs. You seem to not be able to distinguish between those two things.

You didn't say core beliefs , you went on some odd tangent about manure. -You- cant seem to be able to tell the difference between policy and core beliefs.

There you go! If it looks like a pile of shit and it talks like a pile of shit, you guessed it! It’s the couch f**ker.

why is it so funny? We know he's not communist and very against it. And it's a dangerous idea just like Nazism, only worse bc Nazism is culturally taboo and deservedly so, while communism is arguably even worse, but has managed to dupe actually sane people into thinking that it's not that bad. So, why is Elon not banning communist propaganda? You can't just say "he allows people with Nazi beliefs to speak so he must be a Nazi" because by that logic he believes in every dangerous ideal he doesn't silence. Elon actually isn't kidding when he says he believes in not regulating speech. And that is the best way for civilization to thrive. Don't ban ideas. Nazism is evil, and any sane person knows it. So when people purport those views, they'll be clowned into oblivion. That's why they themselves had to regulate speech when they took over, so people wouldn't call them out. Society does best when people are free to find ideals without regulation (other than porn or the occult). The only people in history who try to regulate what you can find - are the very types of people like the Nazis - dictators. Communists silence their enemies. Nazis did it too. And here people are calling Elon a Nazi because he literally will not do what Nazis did. He doesn't silence people even if they hate his guts.

The "Hitler salute" was him saying "my heart goes out to you" and there was no forcing people to do the salute back, because he wasn't even making a salute. Was what he did smart? No, and he admitted he probably shouldn't have done it on Joe Rogan. It was at most an accident. When Hitler did a salute, you were supposed to do it back or there would be serious consequences, similarly to how Stalin used to kill the first person who stopped clapping whenever he showed up. And there was no "my heart goes out to you" statements with Hitler. It was a power move.

I wouldn't normally say this outright, but no, I didn't skip history. In fact, I know enough about the origin of both Nazism and communism to know that the same tricks used for those two ideals to take over countries and destroy millions of lives are being used in our culture, and they nearly succeeded.

1. trump is licking communist butthole, pandering to enemy #1.

2. “He allows people with nazi beliefs to talk” as he should. PROBLEM: and also retweets nazi propaganda!

3. They literally are tying to silence free speech. Just have to invalidate the investigative journalists first. Otherwise it would be too obvious. Oh I know!! Let’s kick the AP out of the Oval Office and invite Russian propaganda media in!!!

4. My heart goes out to you if you believe that horseshit. EVERYONE IN THE WORLD knew what that was and called it out. Technocracy Inc just passing those lovely genes down the line!

1. Yeah give me an example of that. And if you're gonna say "love letters to Kim" you have no idea what's going on there. Should I interest you in the fact that in 2021, when Biden took office, Kim Jong Un immediately began working on his largest nuclear bomb since - the year Obama left? Or how China invested a billion dollars into the Biden administration right before an election, before suddenly passing us as the wealthiest country in the world (being the first country to do this since World War 1) less than a year after Biden took office, directly because Biden gave away our best external income source to Putin, which he then used to blackmail the rest of Europe, and in desperation, some of them immediately went and crawled to China? Biden was the one who sucked up to communists. Every leader with a spine took advantage of Biden. Biden gave away as much of our external income as he could and levied all the federal expenses on American taxpayers (and some of the federal expenses are BS too). And they really tried to get away with this by creating a child gender epidemic and trying to make that more important than whether enough Americans have enough finances to house themselves or feed themselves. Biden was the best thing to happen for all our enemies and the worst thing for Americans. It was the most blatantly corrupt administration any of us have ever seen.
Trump is a negotiator. If he does something for another country, they have to benefit him too. Because he's America first. Biden just gave away stuff and ignored American problems.

2. I'm also going to need an example of that.

3. Are you actually suggesting that distrust of the bought-and-paid-for media is silencing free speech? No, the media was a part of trying to silence free speech. You think it's an accident any journalist that wasn't hard core anti Trump got fired sometime around 2020? Just like in the entertainment industry?
Who are the Russian propagandists? Dems love the Russia hoax, it's been disproven many times.

4. Everyone in the world? Joe Rogan didn't. Many people on X didn't. Maybe you'd believe that if you only watch a one-sided political bubble.

3. I am not a dem, I am an independent. As stated above, russian media in the oval office, AP kicked out for not using "gulf of America" Seriously fox is the only thing republicans watch. I have subscriptions to several investigative journalism articles but I used fox where I could so you can commune with your patriarchal bros. https://www.reuters.com/world/russian-state-media-reporter-gains-access-is-later-removed-trump-zelenskiy-2025-02-28/

4. See image, also I'm not going by what "many people on x" think (that goes double for Joe Rogan). I think for myself. 9piyaj.jpg (click to show)

Oh wow. That is some far reaching. Bro tweeted a philosophical curiosity question about what the world would be like millions of years into the future (which, the earth won't exist then but that's beside the point), and someone found a way to tie a NUMBER back to Nazism? This is why we don't take these accusations seriously.

Also, technically, the second post isn't wrong, though I wouldn't really word it that way. They didn't directly kill people, but their orders were followed and many people died, meaning their commands led to millions of deaths. Their regimes killed tens of millions of people each. I think that's what the post is trying to communicate, but I don't really see the point. I'd guess the point would be to say that if a tyrant is in power, rebelling is still an option if he's ordering mass murders. But blaming it on the workers isn't very helpful.
However, that's not "Nazi propaganda"... and it says this about Stalin and Mao as well, so is Elon a communist too?

3. Just wow. First off, the AP has been very anti-Trump. Second, Trump is trying to work a deal with Zelenskyy and Putin right now. It's not a far reach that Russian media might be able to ask him questions. That doesn't mean he's sucking up to Russia.
Third, I don't think you read everything I said, and you certainly don't know many republicans if you think that. I don't know a single person that even watches Fox. I certainly don't. I just told you I'm extremely skeptical of professional media in general. Even Fox. However, I do love how many non-conservatives love to use Fox as a conversation-ender; if something you said showed up on Fox once, it's automatically BS and has been disproven by the fact that it was on Fox. Whether or not something I say is on Fox, I wouldn't know, because I don't watch the news. I do research. The news is near-torturous to watch bc all they do is tell you who to feel sorry for and tell you what to think. Everything they say is negative and if you spend free time on the news, you'll be far more depressed.
Fourth, "patriarchal"? Now I know you don't know any actual Republicans unless they're older than maybe 60 years old. A big part of the conservative movement these days is actually fighting to get women's rights back from the progressives who have abandoned them in favor of dudes deciding they're women and erasing girls' opportunities to succeed. Sounds like a very patriarchal side to me...

And besides, I'm more of a semi-anarchist anyway. I don't like hierarchies, so "patriarchy" and "matriarchy" are equally repulsive to me. Unfortunately, people are not responsible enough for unlimited freedom, so anarchy cannot be a solution, but it would be ideal if we were mature enough.

4. That was not Musk's decision and doesn't prove anything about it. Police were investigating it when it happened.
You think for yourself? So do I, I just don't trust professional journalism for information because most of it is owned by the same 5-6 people, who are all pushing their own agendas. If you post an opinion out of line, you get fired. Independent journalism is far more reliable (but you have to find reliable ones and not conspiracy theorists or crazy people).
NPR's CEO Katherine Maher fired someone for pointing out that her company had 87 Dems and ZERO republicans at the top, and suggesting they have more political diversity (something which she convieniently forgot happened when trying to defend her company's government funding).
