It is unbelievable to think that ANY patriotic American would ever consider voting Democrat when the truth and depth of their corruption is being revealed to the World! Leftist brainrot personified

The quote is important

But Werner Herzog did not say this...

This quote originated with a message posted by the "Werner Twertzog" Twitter account. This Twitter account is not owned, operated, or affiliated with the German film director. Rather, it is run by William Pannapacker, a professor of American literature at Hope College in Holland, Michigan:

Do you understand what I'm saying?" shouted Moist. "You can't just go around killing people!"

"Why Not? You Do." The golem lowered his arm.

"What?" snapped Moist. "I do not! Who told you that?"

"I Worked It Out. You Have Killed Two Point Three Three Eight People," said the golem calmly.

"I have never laid a finger on anyone in my life, Mr Pump. I may be–– all the things you know I am, but I am not a killer! I have never so much as drawn a sword!"

"No, You Have Not. But You Have Stolen, Embezzled, Defrauded And Swindled Without Discrimination, Mr Lipvig. You Have Ruined Businesses And Destroyed Jobs. When Banks Fail, It Is Seldom Bankers Who Starve. Your Actions Have Taken Money From Those Who Had Little Enough To Begin With. In A Myriad Small Ways You Have Hastened The Deaths Of Many. You Do Not Know Them. You Did Not See Them Bleed. But You Snatched Bread From Their Mouths And Tore Clothes From Their Backs. For Sport, Mr Lipvig. For Sport. For The Joy Of The Game.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk are trying to kill USAID.

USAID's biggest recipient of funds is Catholic Relief Services -- for providing disaster relief around the world.

They are now being forced to lay off staff and cut programs.

There's something legit poetic about some of the biggest tools of US imperialist foreign intervention getting dismantled by the Musk/Trump administration as part of their kneejerk antiwoke crusade because the US government has spent decades dressing up its global imperialism in progressive language.

So basically taxpayers paid for the creation of the Covid-19 virus through USAID and then paid the mainstream media to brainwash them about masks, vaccines, and lockdowns?

It's unbelievable what these sick people did through money laundering to humanity worldwide. 🤔

Elon Musk is a piece of shit just like EVERY other RepubliKKKan!!!!!

BREAKING: MAGA billionaire Elon Musk picks a fight with a respected commander of the International Space Station and calls him "retarded" after he exposed Musk for a bold-faced lie.

This is who Trump has entrusted with running our government...

It all started when Andreas Mogensen, the Danish astronaut in question, reacted to a clip on X of Musk telling Fox News propagandist Sean Hannity that he plans to "rescue" two astronauts who were "left up there" in space "for political reasons."

Mogensen shared the clip and wrote: "What a lie. And from someone who complains about lack of honesty from the mainstream media."

Musk quickly reacted to the tweet, lashing out with the sort of childish insults that we have come to expect from the allegedly ketamine-addicted oligarch—

"You are fully retarded," wrote Musk. "SpaceX could have brought them back several months ago. I OFFERED THIS DIRECTLY to the Biden administration and they refused. Return WAS pushed back for political reasons. Idiot."

As usual Musk provided no evidence for his inflammatory claims. Mogensen then responded with the grace and articulation that Musk seems pathologically incapable of—

"Elon, I have long admired you and what you have accomplished, especially at SpaceX and Tesla," wrote the astronaut. "You know as well as I do, that Butch and Suni are returning with Crew-9, as has been the plan since last September. Even now, you are not sending up a rescue ship to bring them home. They are returning on the Dragon capsule that has been on ISS since last September."

Tellingly, Musk didn't respond to the potent rebuttal. Instead, he responded to another post from Dr. Phil Metzger — Director of the Stephen W. Hawking Center for Microgravity Research & Education — remarking on the hostile exchange.

In it, Musk smeared Mogensen as a "so-called 'Commander'" who "doesn’t know his ass from a hole in the ground."

"Dude has no clue what’s really going on. He’s a passenger," Musk added.

That's all Elon has: insults and rage.

It's also worth noting that shortly after the feud broke out, the billionaire tweeted out a call for the "deorbiting" of the International Space Station because "it has served its purpose" and "there is very little incremental utility."

It's difficult to interpret the outburst as anything other than attempt at exacting revenge on Mogensen for publicly embarrassing him.

Elon is a petty, vindictive man with zero impulse control. The fact that he is now running roughshod over our government, gutting crucial programs, and lining his pockets with our tax dollars is an utter disgrace.

Why We Need To Be Extremely Concerned About Trump's Shutdown of the USAID.

Here are some historical comparisons:

Putin (Russia): He shut down independent charities and aid groups so only his government could control who got help. This let him spread propaganda and punish people who didn’t support him while making sure only loyalists got resources.

Hitler (Nazi Germany): He got rid of foreign aid groups so that no one outside Germany could see or interfere with what he was doing. This let him control who got help and push his extreme nationalist agenda without outside influence.

Orban (Hungary): He kicked out international aid groups so that only his government and his rich allies could decide how money was spent. This let him keep power, reward loyal businesses, and cut off outside checks on his actions.

In all these cases, getting rid of humanitarian aid wasn’t about saving money—it was about taking full control, isolating the country, and making sure only their supporters benefited. That’s what Trump is doing now by shutting down USAID.

Elon Musk, an unelected billionaire who gained his wealth and power through apartheid and (more recently) lining Trump’s pockets during the 2024 presidential campaign, is essentially raiding the Treasury Department as we speak. Instead of having arm chair arguments over whether Musk was “pointing” at the inauguration, let’s see reality for what it is... our democracy is crumbling. It’s time to stand up and protest! Go to your state capital at noon (2/5/25) and join this historic protest to fight fascism!
