Every time I read something about the USA in the last few weeks I think "Wow that's shitty. How can it get worse?"

In short order, the answer to my question is served up. I find it worse when the victims cannot speak or stand up for themselves. Though horrible things are happening to a wide range of victims at least they can protest, take action etc. The dogs cannot. I only hope that the handlers make sure the welfare of these animals is taken care of despite the order. They do not deserve to be pawns in the MAGA game, but then no one does.

Elon orders government. They said it out loud.

I have an idea for what we could feed those dogs.

Failing to feed and look after animals you are responsible of is animal abuse and illegal.

Having dog handlers pay for the dogs they need for work is totally in line with having teachers pay for teaching tools.

Stop feeding Elon...

Musk: The fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy. The empathy exploit. They're exploiting a bug in Western civilization, which is the empathy response. So, I think, you know, empathy is good, but you need to think it through and not just be programmed like a robot.

That didn't sound like the best idea ever for someone using jets so often. That could blow up in his face.

This might blow up in his face. In more than one way.

I pray everyday for a poetic Mussolini ending for Musk

Just here for my daily question of: How the fuck does this man have the authority to "order" fucking anything within my government?

As a Canadian I welcome their national security cuts.

Beyond animal cruelty, you NEED bomb sniffing dogs! Holy shit! Do they realize that now potential bombers would have a huge upper hand in carrying explosives into airports? Why don't they say 'well those metal detectors and xray machines are too fancy' and go back to the late 60s when there was a hijacking once every 5.6 DAYS.

The last time a major terrorist attack happened, the government got expansion of powers.

This is preparing for the next 9/11, reichstag-fire style.

And the dems will approve the Enabling Act.

Yes let’s start starving animals now. Great job Republiscum.

Oh well I'm sure the cabinet secretary who oversees TSA will get right on that oh wait she loves killing dogs too

If it’s not already a thing we should start a live tracker of Elon’s current or last known whereabouts. For academic purposes.

You can't put food "on hold".

He's starving dogs!

When I import things to the US through work, they always get stopped by Explosive Detection Dogs, at a cost of around 300 quid per pallet. I wonder if that will stop or drastically reduce. Certainly doesn't seem like a good idea if you want to stop things coming in that shouldn't be.

What an absolute cunt.

Well i can tolerate some things but starving dogs its not one of them

Sounds like those dogs should start letting bombs through to me.

This is going to be the thing that gets white people off the train. Being mean to the dogs.

I'd take the dog home and keep it as a pet. Stop bringing it to work. No bomb dogs at the air ports.

Sick fuck..

Not surprising sadly. This is the same man that labeled people relying on the government for a safety net to fucking live parasites.

I am one of those people that is part of the parasite class. I look forward to being able to get teamed up with a doggo in the camp. That actually kinda makes me feel a little better if that would happen actually.

What a freaking shitshow.
