The payoff has begun.

"Armored Tesla" forecast to win $400 million State Department contract after Trump's election, government document shows

Quote:
The State Department’s procurement forecast, revised as of late December 2024, lists Tesla as the recipient of the largest expected contract, with Marco Rubio’s department planning to buy $400,000,000 worth of “Armored Tesla.”

The award is targeted for Q4, and is forecast to last for five years.
The said armored Tesla is of course their Cyberjunk which simply has no buyers, they do not take them as trade in and have dropped their price by as much as 25%.

Not a bad payoff when one can sell junk cars to Uncle Sam for a cool $400 Million. A lot of this money is coming from those who got DOGE'd.

Judge rules Trump's sweeping plan to persuade federal workers to resign can move forward.

You call resign or get fired persuasion? I say it's akin to telling someone to dig their own grave. Anyone who takes the trump "we'll pay you, trust us plan" is a fool. When they get stiffed, trump mind you, they won't even qualify for unemployment because they resigned from their jobs

Looks more and more like America could become a 3rd world country ruled by Despot Donnie.

Coffee is in a 'perfect price storm' — and it's finally starting to hit your wallet

Hey MAGAts! Remember when you voted for Downy because he promised to bring down prices on “day one”? And you believed him? Feeling like fools yet?

I bet Putin will agree to a "negotiated settlement" with Ukraine now and deal with them later like he invaded Crimea first, annexed it and then years later rolled towards Kiev.

His army is weakened and forced to use Koreans as stand ins, economy has been stagnant, so anything for a pause in the fighting. He will be happy to keep the territory that Russia has captured to date.

Now that he has made America Great, he is out to make Russia great.

Those poor brave Ukrainians.

I hate Trump even more, I didn't think it was possible but the depths of his vileness is bigly.

Trump administration says it has no plans to fulfill $400 million 'armored Tesla' contract

Bet it still goes through further down the track, waste and grift rolled into one.
