I'll believe it when he sells all he has and gives it to the poor.

Here's how the US handles election fraud of the well-off:

The state board of elections found Musk’s PAC sent prefilled ballot applications.


If Donald Trump’s administration really wants to find evidence of foreign interference in Georgia’s elections, then they need look no further than the president’s old friend Elon Musk and his shady super PAC.

Members of the Georgia State Elections Board voted Wednesday to issue a formal letter of reprimand to Musk’s America PAC over the billionaire technocrat’s illegal scheme to get Trump elected. Georgia, a key battleground state in 2024, was the target of aggressive campaigning by Trump’s team.

In October 2024, the Georgia secretary of state’s office launched an investigation after receiving numerous reports from residents across several counties saying they’d received partially prefilled absentee ballot applications from Musk’s America PAC, according to John Fervier, the State Elections Board’s chairman.

There was evidence to suggest America PAC had violated a state law that prohibits any person or entity, other than an authorized relative, to send an elector an absentee ballot application prefilled with the elector’s required information, according to Janice Johnston, the SEB’s vice chairman.

America PAC had also failed to display in a conspicuous location that this was not an official government publication, was not provided by the government, and was not a ballot, Johnston added.

The board swiftly voted to issue a letter of reprimand to America PAC.

This letter comes weeks after Trump suggested that his Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard was spotted lurking around a federal raid at the election office in Fulton County, Georgia, because she was investigating foreign interference in elections.

It should come as no surprise that the only evidence of meddling with people’s votes came from Trump’s own camp—the same thing happened in the 2020 election too.

She has stated repeatedly she has no interest in being with him. He already reconciled with her once before.

“Elon Musk offers to fund TSA as Trump sends ICE agents to airports”
Elon Musk says he will fund TSA salaries during the US funding impasse as President Donald Trump sends ICE agents to airports amid growing security queues.
https://aerospaceglobalnews.com/news/el ... -airports/

1) i have no idea if EM’s offer is possible. i’m interested!

2) i have no problem with ICE helping at airports; reports are, they’re quickly improving matters for the public.

3) my trip planned for Nov 2025 was delayed for weeks due to gov shutdown, now this.

What’s the possibility of removing air travel from the whims of self-centered, partisan, do-nothing Congress? :?:
Twice in 4 months reflects -g-r-o-s-s- incompetence. Even for politicians.

He can fund as much of the government as he wants to, as far as I'm concerned; deficit spending is a serious problem. But it doesn't encourage Congress to grow up and act like adults.

Exactly. Congress is not the enemy, they are only divided and immobilized because we the people are divided and immobilized. They are representing us quite well.

Congress disturbs me cause they have consistent low approval ratings, yet they seem completely unconcerned.
They are unique in having the ability to protect+defend themselves, reward themselves, enrich themselves, to repeat, without regard to the people. Over decades, career politicians built this. :evil:

They argue to the death over every word, convincing “everyone” there are no answers (over decades) - yet have no problem at all agreeing on whatever serves them! It’s uncanny how they can be so convincingly brain dead on every public policy, yet, “come alive” for every decision that benefits them (bipartisan them).

Nothing to see here.

Example:
Some suggest the best way to fix healthcare in the U.S. is to require Congress to have the same healthcare as everyone else.

But. For this topic, “the people” need to remove air travel from reach of fickle self-serving Congress.
2 shutdowns in less than 6 months (for political games) is unacceptable.

No pandemic. No shoebomber. This needs to stop. No more.

In another topic, what about PRIVATIZING?? :?: :arrow:

23:00 min mark -
Ben Shapiro briefly describes positives to privatizing ATC and TSA -
remove power from politicians to shut down airports.


He’s not the first to suggest this. Some other countries privatize.

and Americans are murdered by illegal immigrants,

Democrats continue to shut down funding for the Department of Homeland Security;
American communists travel to Cuba for fun and games;
and we bring you the latest on the war in Iran.”

U.S. airports impaired by politics twice in less than 6 months!!
