Summary
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt struggled to justify claims of government fraud during a press briefing, despite weeks of investigations by Elon Musk’s DOGE.
Instead of proving fraud, Leavitt pointed to contracts that simply conflicted with Trump’s policies. When pressed by reporters, she claimed wasteful spending was fraudulent without offering evidence.
Meanwhile, Musk’s team has accessed sensitive data from multiple federal agencies, raising concerns about privacy and oversight.
How do Trumps press secretaries say stuff with a straight face. Last time was the same. Trump spews nonsense and she smiles and repeats it.
She’ll do anything for money and power. She’s a 27 year old married to a rich 60 year old.
Maybe it’s true love, but given her choice of employer, I’m assuming she’s in it for the cash.
The real question is whether anyone believes it. Evidence indicates that too many people do. It works
Imagine having the superpower to say any ridiculous thing and have it become real (to 50% of voters). Of course in this case the superpower is easily manipulated followers, but wouldn’t you use that for evil if you could?
I wouldn’t, but I can see the temptation, even for people that aren’t sociopaths.
I’d like to think that even if I was using that power to go around official channels, it would be in the service of the greater good and I would strive to leave the lower and middle classes better off than when I took office (but of course that could very easily turn into a God Emperor of Dune-situation where I’m trying to keep everyone on the “Golden Path” that only I can see, which is of course the danger of any dictator, benevolent or otherwise)
Some people just don’t care or don’t realize how stupid they look.
Because they’re delusional and actually believe it. They’ve convinced themselves of this fantasy reality so they never have to admit that they’re wrong and can act like the biggest piece of shit in the world without deserving any consequences for it.
I’ll tell you the moon is made of cheese for $1.
Google Moon (Google Maps of the moon, showing landing sites and whatnot) proved it - if you zoomed in all the way, you could see that it was made of cheese. At least you could, until the woke media forced them to take it down! (/s)
You can still find articles about it and showing it.
TBH it’s better than Mat Miller smirking his way through a genocide.
And either way it’s a pointless tv show.
If i give you millions of dollars, are you willing to look quite dumb?
