That's not a denial.

Trump says anyone who buys oil from Venezuela will pay 25% tariffs lol. This guy thinks he owns the world.

The article states that the government confirmed the thread was real on the record.

I saw that. Well, close, the confirmation was "appears to be real". But Hegseth was clearly trying to give the impression that it wasn't true with all the hoax talk. Just saying, him trying to get people believe it isn't true while not being willing to deny it is basically a separate confirmation.

This is the challenge with the Trump era, they have all learned they can just lie and the people who want to believe will believe. Makes it worth mentioning that they've already confirmed it's true.

Just because he said nice things doesn't mean he cared, bro.
The amount of times he's antagonized people to walk it back the next day with some nice sounding words should really drive home how little they mean coming from him.
He turns on people he was on good terms with on a daily basis. It just takes one disagreement or critical word in the press and you're on his hit list.
The dictators of yesteryear did similar things along the way.

He helped spread the "Canada is not a serious country" mantra that infected the R word brains of many right wing voters, straight from Russia.

I just listened to Elon Musk try to explain why social security is a ponzi scheme. He doesn’t know how it works. It’s ironic that the world’s wealthiest person didn’t think that struggling Americans don’t deserve the social security they’ve paid into and need to survive.

He doesn't know how anything works. He's that moronic ####### that hangs over your shoulder, and takes in just enough to BS to be able to sell your work to others. He has no clue how databases work, or how to even run a python script. He certainly doesn't understand the intricacies or value of government. All he knows is he can make more money if there is less of it, and stay out of prison.

I do believe Elon knows a thing or two about Ponzi Schemes... just going by the definition of a Ponzi Scheme:
Quote:
What Is a Ponzi Scheme?
A Ponzi scheme is an investment scam that pays early investors with money taken from later investors to create an illusion of big profits. A Ponzi scheme promises a high rate of return with little risk to the investor. It relies on word-of-mouth, as new investors hear about the big returns earned by early investors. Inevitably, the scheme collapses when the flow of new money slows, making it impossible to keep up the payments of alleged profits.
|
And factoring these three statements:
We should believe him. Soon, after all, they will be referred to as Musk Schemes

He gets more ridiculous by the day. I know this is small potatoes in the big picture, but my goodness.
