It's easy to claim transparency when you lie about everything
Every right leaning person I've talked with about this claims "unparalleled transparency" with these guys. What, a bunch of self written social media posts? Full transparency would be detailed reporting that would also we'd have the ability to verify via a third party. What these guys are doing is the equivalent of, "trust me, bro."
For some reason the "do you own research" crowd seems to not be doing that.
Of course not, the bias is strong.

I sometimes think of those redcaps as something out of a sci-fi movie where they take over any normal brain function.
You're just being paranoid. You know what would help? A nice relaxing trip to the brain slug planet where you can lay in the sun with no helmet on.
I still wonder if BrainDead was cancelled not only because of low ratings....even if it was showing a bothsiderist lean at some point. It might have been a bit too much on the nose for the oligarchs' tastes.
"Maximally transparent" in the same sense that Musk is a "free speech absolutist".
His feelings about free speech are very absolute. Absolutely authoritarian. Get back in line and have you papers ready!!
This is what dictators do. Grab power and place it under their control.
Trump will whittle away at the other branches of government until there's nothing left, and then he will say we don't need those other branches since they don't do anything and dissolve them.
This has been played out many times.
DOGE’s FOIA exemption is a direct assault on accountability and public trust.

It's so transparent that you can't even see it.
The corruption is just in your face. I bet "maga" is eating it right the fuck up, too, the idiots, because....libs:owned. Or something.
Some perhaps, but if you look at the videos from recent repug town halls, even maga is pissed. I’m talking reps can’t complete statements due to being drowned out by boos in +30 red districts. There are opportunities here for a real populist party to form if people are able to seize it.

They're still trying to blame it on "bussed in Democrat paid agitators".
Yeah, maybe. The oligarchs have proven themselves quite capable (in the past, anyway) of directing that anger anywhere else but where it should be directed, so I guess we will see.
I'll never get over the pretentious way the Orange Menace poses for the camera. And it makes me want to punch him every time.
He looks like a corpse with poorly done casket makeup
Are we certain this isn't a Weekend at Bernie's situation?
He looks to me like Biff Tannen just got another face-full of manure.
Every picture looks like he’s focusing not shitting himself
"Your honor I'm not subject to that law under the clause I said so." Judges love hearing that.
Judges also love not flying out of windows.
uint8_t transparency = 255;
...
transparency++;
Kafka couldn't even think something like this up.
Normally I'd say "that's not how it works" but given the shit we've seen it might in fact work
Isn't that for the courts to decide?
The ones he ignores and the ones overriden by a higher court with the reasoning "we'll get around to looking at what the courts already said was illegal.". The Supreme Court basically just kneecapped the entire Judicial branch by implying the courts rulings don't matter unless they come from the SC.
Well, yes, this was a court filling. DOGE attorneys make their case, opposing council makes their case, and the judge/jury decides. It's just that DOGE attorneys filed a statement that directly contradicts public statements (to the surprise of no one).
Does Elon Musk even own a suit?
I was so sad to hear that Zelensky said the Ukrainian word for suit, costume sounded like such a great jab at that pompous ass "reporter"
Yeah, one made from Dalmatian puppies.
