Re: Elon Musk. Twitter. Babylon Bee.
What amuses me about all of this Musk stuff is the hypocrisy.
If any other billionaire owner of a tech social media platform was even 1/10th as much in the tank for Harris as Musk is for Trump then Republican politicians would be rupturing their larynxes screaming about it. What happened to all the hand-wringing about media bias? And all those breathtaking so-called revelations of the “twitter files.” I guess none of it was sincere after all.

Apparently the Postal Service needs to be audited as they seem to think that there are 33,904 Post Offices.

Well, if we want to quibble, this is what the Post Office actually says: https://facts.usps.com/size-and-scope/# ... %20billion.ken_sylvania wrote: ↑Tue Oct 08, 2024 3:57 pmApparently the Postal Service needs to be audited as they seem to think that there are 33,904 Post Offices.
- "There are 31,123 Postal Service-managed retail offices in the United States. Including contract offices, there are 33,904 offices."
Either way it is a lot of them to audit if you are going to audit the entire Federal government.

They might as well be, as they have far more wide spread influence than Elon Musk.Ken wrote: ↑Tue Oct 08, 2024 2:08 pmUh huh.

Re: Elon Musk. Twitter. Babylon Bee.
I'm not convinced that someone whose companies have received billions in federal contracts and subsidies is the best person to audit the federal government. I think there are some serious conflict of interest issues here.temporal1 wrote: ↑Sun Oct 06, 2024 6:42 pmP.89, trump is suggesting elon to audit the entire fed gov.ohio jones wrote: ↑Sun Oct 06, 2024 1:54 pm I suspect he's lobbying for a job in the Trump Administration, probably the Chief of Navel Operations.![]()

i’m perfectly comfortable with an older, wiser, more docile Trump.
