Summary
A leaked TSA email suggests funding for bomb-sniffing dogs has been halted under Elon Musk.
The email states that vet visits, kenneling, and food are “put on hold” until further guidance.
TSA deploys over 1,000 canine teams, with training costing $33,000 per dog.
The funding freeze contradicts Trump’s “tough on crime” stance and coincided with the White House celebrating “K9 Veterans Day.”
Bet fElon wants to smuggle drugs on his private plane.
No need to smuggle, TSA doesn’t seem care
I’m thinking one of his kids that hates him got a new dog, and this is how he responds.
Cool so bombs are doable now? heh
What could possibly go wrong?
Yeah, empathy is his problem … 🙄 … besides many, many other problems!
“Richest man in the world to starve dogs so he can have more money.”
I wish they’d be more frank. They just want more. The same class that tells us to make our own toilet paper and stop getting that morning coffee, are now digging into the pockets of dogs just for a few more coins to rub together. They’ll kill us all for what amounts to pocket change for them. How much better this time line would be if he just ceases to exist.
Its not even saving anyone money, either, which is the empty pretense they’re doing all this under
Last month was more expensive by a significant margin than the same month last year.
I keep waiting to find out where the line is that gets people to actually take to the streets. The bar keeps getting lower as people make more excuses to continue doing nothing.
That doesn’t happen in North America
Its always hard to predict the tipping point. When the Berlin Wall came down, it surprised literally every intelligence agency in the world. Everyone knew the Berlin Wall would fall someday, but nobody had a clue when, how, or why. And NOBODY knew it was that close.
Then one day, it just happened. Someone tried to get through the wall, and a guard just simply refused to stop him, and the floodgates opened. Within minutes, people were smashing the wall with sledgehammers, and within hours the guards were gone, and the citizens were crawling all over it, knocking down sections.
All we can do is prepare and maintain readiness. One day it will tough off somewhere, and it will spread fast. Have a plan, and remain alert.
Ok, first remove any kind of bomb detection from any flight he’s taking. Need to show that he’s serious about saving money
he flies privately
so he shouldn’t be so worried; smaller target.
Makes it easier for someone to place that bomb then.
Waiting for someone to hopefully explain how the title is misleading and the dogs are ok plz
Obviously the dogs’ handlers will continue to care for their dogs. It’s not okay that they might be spending their own money to do so.
Y’all Muricans need to stop this madness. Sincerely, rest of the world.
And he hates dogs?
This man is beyond redemption.
I heard when Elon played the original Wolfenstein he would kill all the dogs and leave the Nazi soldiers alone. He thought the goal was to collect all the scattered treasure to take to Hitler at the end.
How can anyone hate dogs? Afraid? Yeah, I can understand that. Hate? Wow.
Psychopaths usually hate animals. One of the early signs of psychopathy is harming animals.
It’s not that they hate animals, they literally have no understanding of hate, love, empathy, conscience, or any other human emotion toward animals, or even humans for that matter.
Being Socio/Pyschopathic is a primary character trait of MAGATurds. Usually they try to disguise their broken personalities, but MAGA has made it fashionable to celebrate their mental illness. Now we live in a nation where good people have to disguise themselves as sociopaths so they can fit in.
Sociopaths don’t understand the role of pets. That’s why Krasnov is the first president in 100 years to not have a pet.
Like a badly-written comic book villain.
Except in a comic book, he’d be a one-off.
I’m reading this and thinking “this can’t be real”. How did we end up here? I really don’t get it.
It started with Gerry Springer, really. We started celebrating the most awful qualities of humanity and normalized them.
MTV becoming a viral “reality” TV show hosting things like “The Real World” I think brought awful qualities to the mainstream, then social media gave everyone the opportunity to be THAT viral reality tv star. It may have started with Jerry, but MTV spread it to the masses. At the end of the day it was all driven by the pursuit of profits. All roads lead to capitalism, after all.
Didn’t he apologize for that and said had he known what was unleashed he would have shut it down?
Yeah springer was a lawyer and later regretted everything from what I read.
regretted everything
Including paying prostitutes with checks. The bank was not amused.
Twenty-four hours later, the 30-year-old Springer was testifying at the trial of three men accused of operating the Northern Kentucky “health club” where he admitted going twice for sex – once the previous December, once in January. On the stand, he identified a $50 check he made out to 26-year-old Norma Jean Hall.
“It was in exchange for an act of prostitution,” Springer said.
lol Jesus Christ Thanks for sharing
I’d say that Springer was influenced by Oprah Winfrey, whose show about abuse, neglect, crime and vice was influenced by her harrowing childhood, a product of racism, and capitalist-induced poverty.
And it turns out she was lying or possibly severely misremembering her childhood. She didn’t grow up in poverty. Oprah sucks, she gave us Drs Phil and Oz.
Millions of people who voted for Biden in 2020 stayed home in 2024. Republican numbers stayed the same.
By abstaining from voting for Harris, the entire US collectively voted for the worst option.
He’s basically doing a scream test, you shut off something, and if nobody comes back to you asking why it’s down, you can assume nobody was using it, and you can just leave it shut down. If it was needed, you just spin it back up.
Obviously that’s not a huge issue with computers (although you’ll have a bad time if you do it across the board or with backup systems), but you can’t do that shit to people (or in this case animals).
He’s doing silicon valley stuff to real life, and you just have to be a complete idiot to think that’s a good idea.
Or a twisted monster
I have a idea. We do our own scream test.
Let’s turn his brain off permanently.
And we Don’t bother listening for anyone complaining about it.
It’s the perfect plan.
I prefer Luigi’s method personally. Shoot CEOs until someone cares.
Be the change you want to see in the world.
Are you wearing a wire dude?
Are you a Trump supporter dude?
Nope. I just figured the comment was a little close to a call to violence; figured they’re either not in the US, or Fedposting.
Maybe they just don’t give a fuck about making calls to violence, in which case more power to them and good luck out there
Edit: realized you weren’t the person I originally commented on, so I changed the wording to point at the proper subject
People in this thread want to blame television which is fucking weird and straight from the 90s. The real issue is every one needs a fucking civics lesson. Half the people don’t even know the intended function of government the other half are arguing about which facts are facts.
I’m mean, not even to mention our society is designed around greed. They dressed it up real nice but end of the day the engine that drives the machine is pure greed.
Civics and economics are two subjects that aren’t treated with the rigor they should be in American high schools. Both subjects are usually taught by coaches as a placeholder to give them a faculty job so they can be on the coaching staff.
No more DEI! (Dogs Eating & Ingesting)
I propose bringing all the hungry canines over to meet Elon. It should be televized.
Have the police unions feed them. They are well protected.
bro, I despised you already but now you went so far beyond the limits, there is no turning back! Don’t feed dogs? Anyone who trained a dog and works with that dog would rather starve than not taking care of the dog. But I get it, dogs are loving and loyal to the extreme. Both are concept you will never comprehend.
Even Hitler loved animals.
Adolf Hitler had German Shepherd ( Blondi) which often stayed by his side
Perhaps we take those dogs. When the unruly mobs kick in the mansions of the ultra rich, we let the dogs feed once more.
This is so fucking funny, everyday we (the world) get to read news articles about the United States of Idiots.
Disclaimer: I don’t think that all Americans are idiots, many of you are okay.
There are dozens of us!
Tens, even!
