Trump’s commerce secretary Howard Lutnick says if Social Security skipped a check, his mother-in-law wouldn’t complain—and if you would, it indicates you are probably a fraudster. Insane.

Elon Musk holds unprecedented Pentagon talks, wants leakers prosecuted: 

https://www.reuters.com/world/us/elon-musk-calls-prosecutions-pentagon-staff-who-leaked-new-york-times-2025-03-21/

 

  • Musk holds high-level meeting with Pentagon
  • Tesla CEO urges prosecution for Pentagon leakers
  • Trump and Musk deny press report on China war plans briefing
WASHINGTON, March 21 (Reuters) - Billionaire Elon Musk took his campaign to cut the U.S. federal government into uncharted waters on Friday, holding an unprecedented top-level meeting at the Pentagon and calling for the prosecution of any Defense Department officials leaking "maliciously false information" about his visit.
Musk, whose businesses have a number of Defense Department contracts, met U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth for 80 minutes in his first such talks at the Pentagon, which is responsible for a large chunk of federal government spending. It was unclear whether U.S. generals joined that meeting virtually.

Reminder - Social Security is *your* money. You pay into it so you can collect it later. If the government shuts it down on a whim, without paying you back, that is theft. [contains quote post or other embedded content]

I misquoted him on the top speed. He said it’s “over 2, which you don’t often hear about.”

Well, we heard about it in 1959, when the F4 exceeded Mach 2.5.  And again in 1967 on the bomber front with the F111.  And then again in 1969 with the F14. Still again in 1974 with the F16.  And yet again in 1985 with the F-15.

So, yeah, not that often.  If you are a military aviation ignoramus.

Acting head threatens to shut down Social Security after court ruling - The Washington Post

 

Try that link. His ridiculous claim is that every employee is somehow a DOGE employee. 

Quote

As for the rest of the agency’s more than 50,000 claims processors, call center employees, disability hearings staff and other staff, “How are they not DOGE-affiliated?” Dudek asked.

We pay a shit ton for MIL's assisted living and her SS check defrays some of it.  I am going to be one pissed off motherfucker if they skip a check and I bet everyone else at the assisted living will be too, or their family.

It always does. The only question is the toll/cost we all incur before that ending.

I saw a Canadian video that talked about our relationship as closest allies and trading partners.  There was an Esso station in it.

so basically he's trying to blame the court's TRO against DOGE, ostensibly using millions of American lives to bully her into modifying her order.

We are in Mexico for spring break and our captain on United referred to it as the Gulf of America.  Curious whether that’s an instruction from management. 

No.

In fact, Troy Nehls told me my CEO is so woke. I'm unfamiliar with the term. Can you use it in a sentence.

They are literally posting the proven bullshit take of "cut taxes, and people will take that money and turn it into more efficient charitable giving."  That's 1) a fantasy that 2) has been disproven, time and time again.

But maybe THIS time...."trickle down" will work!

I swear their mindset is exactly the same as pre-Grange, pre-populism farmers that would go around talking constantly about how they'd rather die than get a handout from the government. They have zero interest in thinking beyond their own fat white bodies.

It's worse than assisted living. A good chunk of the people that still "need" to go to the bank everyday are older people getting SSA deposits. The vast majority of our in person transaction occur on the 1st, 3rd, 3rd Wednesday, and any other day where Social Security hits. A much larger % than you would imagine are living paycheck to paycheck on those deposits. We'd have the largest car lot in town, full of repos, if a cut or freeze lasted more than 2 months.

Oh I know.  And a lot of those fuckos are Trumpkins.  But they're off everyone else's radar, except maybe the family that's abandoned them to their social security.

And you know who pays zero taxes, much of the time @fattyflattie?  Fuckin olds that's who.

But there are a lot of upper-middlers whose ox would get gored by that.

And I'm gonna guess that if payments were skipped or delayed on a widespread basis, the assisted living would have to make some accomodations for late rent.

Was the Trump hat/shirt/pant combo that gave it away? Or was it the fact that we had to move a 25-year-old girl to the back because they stare, drool, and generally creep people the fuck out.

I could maybe help you out by turning some of that unwanted inventory back to liquidity.  If the price is right.

I'll take "what is the perfect thing to say if you want to guarantee that NOBODY will buy your new weapons platform?" for $500.

And, that has the twin bonus effects of 1) making our per-jet cost skyrocket (because the fixed development and ramp-up costs will be applied to fewer units) and 2) making Boeing execs - who REALLY needed a financial win -- tear their fucking hair out.  "Hey, congrats Boeing -- you just won the right to build something that you won't be able to sell to anyone else, thus torpedoing a major avenue for revenue and profit."

The “F-47” part of NGAD is supposed to be the spiritual successor to the F-22 which is a platform we never made export available.  It’s kind of a shock actually that we’d consider making even a “souped” down version available for export.  The B-21 won’t be. 
 

But it is saying the quiet part out loud.  We don’t give all the cool stuff with the F-35 to all export customers.

Highly recommend watching the video. It’s fun to watch when we get a bored, soggy brained Trump who has to talk about things like weapons procurement that bore him and he doesn’t understand. He rambles a bit and tries to get excited, making sure to mention that the whole airplane has power the likes of which we’ve never seen, and is of course at a level higher than any other level.  But he just can’t fake it. He does not care about this and you can’t make him care.

Reading the quotes about putting on “Cats” and redecorating the Kennedy Center, you know they got the excited, manic, hype-man Trump.  You just won’t get that if if the topic isn’t celebrity gossip or sharks.

CNN wrote an article about how Marco is being upstaged and jealous of Witkoff (who gets to do the real negotiations and is the real boss). Marco denied it and then Witkoff went on to RT and tell little Marco he’s doing a good job. Lulz.

I REALLY hope they have the balls to cut ss payments. I will set up shop at Cracker Barrel and guffaw all day at the stupid fucks. On second thought, they won’t have any money to go out and eat all because of some geekaroid. I’m still going to Cracker Barrel because I want to eat goddamnit.

Few weeks back, I contacted my banker.  Mom has a really, really small loan against her house through his bank (something like $400 a month, as I recall).  Mom has her SS, and a small pension set aside as well as her income.  She makes all her payments on time, etc.

I let him know that I just had a feeling that something might happen to SS down the road, and to call me before sending her a late notice on the loan.  I know mom, and she would never ask me for a dime. But there's no way in hell I'm going to let that loan fall a month behind.

The funny part of this is that Republicans in Congress have been pleading for someone in the WH to get Musk to stop talking about Social Security, then Nutlick steps up to make the best ad for Dems yet.
