I'd love to know if this retirement limestone mine story is actually true.
The Trump Presidency - Part 2
- Thread starter The Boy
- Start date
What's this?
A blood clot can't come soon enough.
This image will be iconic in the decades to come. The day when a billionaire overshadowed the president of the United States. The allegedly most powerful man in the world who sat there like a little kid listening to daddy speak.
It would have cost a lot of money and additional personal to digitalize all of that papers and reorganize. So instead of investing big they probably went on with the old system as it was at that moment cheaper than changing it.
Wait until he hears about the cheese mines!
And still with the great salary you might have and the 40 days off per year they could pay you more and have millionaire (maybe B) benefits. Don't get me wrong, I am paid decently above average, specially for the hard skills I have and if we compare it with other jobs, and specially other countries it is stupid to call it abuse. It is a error on my part to qualify it with this word because millions of people could come and say "I will show you abuse". And they would be right
What I meant, if we don't get lost in semantics is that if someone that works from home from a big corporation and it decides to slack a bit at a given time but generally delivers and does what it needs to be done when matters, I will not cry for the big company because the worker doesn't give 110% x 40 hours a week (let alone 50 or 60).
That Elon Musk there is American next president. It's bound to happen
Current*
He cant become president officially by being foreign-born, but by all intents and purposes he's already the president, while Trump golfs and eats Big Macs.
He doesn't want to become president he wants to become chancellor.
There's a few articles from 2014 saying they did try to digitalise it but gave up. It's a bit weird but I'm not sure it stops anyone from retiring like he claimed.
There's a amazing person I admire chair in the oval office now apparently.
Worrying reports about the US president teaming up with a powerful man from outside party politics to subvert established bureaucracies and remake them for his own bloody ends, with far-reaching secret agendas that the even Congress isn't aware of, with an increasing danger of world annihilation, a pliant military ready to do his questionable and brutal bidding, and with an obsessive hatred of student anti-war protestors.
Of course this is about Nixon and Kissinger taking on the State and Defence departments over Vietnam, Cambodia, and China.
(Listening to a cambodia podcast right now).
e - probably more for the religion thread or the thread after the latest islamist attack, but Lon Nol's government is now the 3rd mass-murdering Buddhist movement I've heard of, (targeting ethnic Vietnamese for massive pogroms), after Sri Lanka vs the Tamils and Myanmar vs the Rohingyas.

NGL that would be pretty juicy but Trump promised roughly the same last time and it never happened. My guess is at the highest levels of the intelligence services there was still sane people that were capable of explaining the importance of keeping those files secret and fighting that corner. It just depends whether those people still exist and whether they still have the authority to compete with Trump/Musk whims.
Can they expose Michael Oliver?
She is thick as pig shit. Probably end up declassifying herself.
They made a clone using the DNA of Ben Elton and Keith Chegwin, what more is there to know?
There doesn't seem anyway Trump will get rid of Musk. He literally bought the election for him, this isn't even comparable to a Bannon type situation. He has over a barrel and now wants to collect the debt by having free reign in the Government while Trump sits there like a moron signing orders over paper straws.
The lack of checks and balances in the so called 'largest democracy in the world' is a joke. The President signing Executive Orders, Musk having free reign where there is clear conflicts of interest, employees being dismissed and made redundant on a whim and literally no opposition provided at all. Absolute joke.

My guess is that Elon straight up pays him X million of dollars from insider trading. Nothing ideological or fancy.
Trump is all about money, and probably taking the piss while he's at it. Because why not. It got him there in the first and second place. Can't say his shenagigans dont work
Better make sure they redact rapist Trump’s name from all Epstein documents
American exceptionalism ends here....
It's no different to any other industry like banking that all cost benefited that it's better to digitise paper. The cost argument doesn't add up if it's been looked at in the last decade. My guess would be it's been held back and slowed down locally to save the jobs.
Unfortunately Musk will end up finding 'wins' like this because everyone knows inefficiencies exist in most organisations never mind public bodies where it's rife and change is slow.
I wonder if history will remember Musk as a type of Rasputin figure to the US government. A lot hinges on the ultimate outcome of the next 4 years but it's an interesting thought.
Had to laugh at this. Mango Mussolini.
Who dresses their kid up like Del Boy and takes over the Presidents office. Trump looks a bit pissed off to me though and surely he won’t like Musk taking the limelight off him.
The friendship surely will not last 6 months with their collective egos and the fallout will be epic.

So there are now party political officers in every department which are the final say.
This shit is completely dystopian. 4 years of it is going to tear the world apart
Only when the NRA visit.
Dont worry - they ll make sure to have scrubbed the records of those mentions. See the takeover of the national archives for that as well.
Inflation in January: 0.5%. That’s very high. But, while I’m not optimistic, I suggest not to rush to conclusions before we get more numbers.
As for the mockery that they’re making of our institutions: predictable. America has voted for this man, and it’s time to live with the consequences of this choice, good, bad or terrible.
