DOGE leader Elon Musk is gutting government agencies, including US-AID. Why do so many liberals and Democrats seem to get more agitated about Trump’s war on DC bureaucrats than capitalism’s longstanding war against ordinary Americans?

Ever heard of a wolf tree? That’s a tree that has a large canopy. The canopy blocks sunlight, causing nearby trees to be stunted. Ever heard of juglone? It’s a chemical secreted by walnut trees. It kills plants. Musk and Trump are thinning the forest. Between the security clearance revocations and the funding cuts all that will be left after the purge will be Trump’s lackeys (until they’re no longer necessary). Of course the democrats are carrying on about it. Where will they get their kickbacks from if they don’t get to keep their security clearances? You think people donated to the Clinton Foundation because of its good works? You think people drop six figures for Hunter Biden’s art because it’s good?
The left-leaning media covers it like they do because they have no options. They have to oppose anything Trump does. ANYTHING. Trump could outlaw cigarettes and vape sticks and the LLM would start running chewing tobacco ads again. But pointing out that the democrats (just like the Republicans) use their security clearances to get “consulting” fees? Cover how capitalism is killing America? The capitalists are the ones who sign the paychecks of almost all the journalists in the major media outlets.
Well said!
