The GOAL has been obvious for a while. Why do you think the are obliterating the rule of law, dismantling ethics that governs SCOTUS, and the constitution, but not the 2nd Amendment?
Why have Republicans turned us into the most violent nation with the highest % of gun ownership?

The funny thing about a position of power/ job in politics, is the fact NO ONE is willing to sacrifice it to prove their values.

theodora30.bsky.social•95 days ago

Not true. A lot of Democrats in swing districts knew they were going to get the boot for voting for the ACA/“Obamacare”. Nancy Pelosi, a woman in her 80s did not let a vicious hammer attack on her husband stop her.
There was a discussion on Morning Joe about Republicans telling reporters they

theodora30.bsky.social•95 days ago

are getting threats not just of primary challenges but of serious violence. No one pointed out that many Democrats constantly get serious death threats. Later that day I watched Ilhan Omar, speak out strongly against what Trump has been doing.

theodora30.bsky.social•95 days ago

The threats against her have been so serious that they have led to prison sentences but she has not been intimidated.

theodora30.bsky.social•95 days ago

Just after I finished writing this I saw my cowardly senatorTom Tillis and John Cornyn try to downplay the chaos Musk is causing. You can bet they know how dangerous and insane this is but are too cowardly to say so.

Say it how it is Jasmine! They are spineless and I was beginning to wonder about the Democrats!!

‘Republican spine’ is an oxymoron.

mi-forest.bsky.social•95 days ago

I have a theory:

You have to have a real moral compass to have a spine!

Time for a class action lawsuit against the Swasticar salesman and his willful cronies seeking $500 billion in damage.

crochic99.bsky.social•95 days ago

Like those who collaborated with nazis during WWII, that’s what’s happening in 2025 in America. Billionaires, MAGA & evangelicals have declared war on us! Look at any country in South America, in the Middle East, in Africa, in Europe or Asia that’s had tyranny. How does it end? This is no game.

itsrosalindbarker.bsky.social•95 days ago

She’s right!

If enough of them united and stood up to him. They could make him irrelevant.

Republicans in Congress should realize that they are about to become obsolete and expendable.

tmm27.bsky.social•95 days ago

What agency oversees and awards the contracts that SpaceX has? They need to pull them, conduct an audit and freeze all further dealings due to breach of contract as the owner has a serious conflict of interest right now. As much as I'd hate to see people I know layed off, it needs to happen now.

dwdingus.bsky.social•95 days ago

I keep on my senator Tom Cotton, and he quit responding, in fact he deleted my last post to him. While Amy K was protesting Elon, he bitched about AG James. I think he should be thanked for that hard work when he represents Arkansas not New York.

plants32.bsky.social•95 days ago

If the republicans all agree with Donald’s actions! They need to go!!!!! Fight

icejade808.bsky.social•95 days ago

That's because they are a party of cowards.

michellelea93.bsky.social•95 days ago

Republicans are too busy jacking off Trump & Elon.

slickster0353.bsky.social•95 days ago

If u expect republicans to do right , u r wasting your time Bypass them , & fight

Hard to stand when you're spineless.

alexa-williams.bsky.social•95 days ago

If a large number of people express outrage at their elected officials for not standing up, they will stop Elon. Let's send a message to our elected officials in Washington: that we will NOT re-elect them if they don’t stop Elon.

Well, there goes my govt pension. I am totally f’d. I’m trying sooo hard to be a civil here & stay positive. Now, my only hope is that every single maggot will feel the pain just like I will be. All of our anger will turn exactly like THERE’S and some really ugly shit is gonna happen. Can’t wait

bluewolfspirit.bsky.social•95 days ago

Doesn't he currently have admin rights over the paychecks of Congress and SCOTUS? That may be an added incentive to get him out of there.

mdgh.bsky.social•95 days ago

Does or doesn’t?

jeanfb18.bsky.social•95 days ago

Trump is using Musk to infiltrate every government *computer system.* This is a cyber coup. We will not save our government solely by informing the public. We must save it with expert computer engineers who can stop the hacking. Or Musk will just flip all the votes from now on

grevelles.bsky.social•95 days ago

Is this real?

ame213.bsky.social•95 days ago

Oh and if Elon takes my fed tax refund this year, I swear to God I’m not afraid of going to jail!

ame213.bsky.social•95 days ago

So once they completely dismantle the Federal Government, we won’t have to pay Federal Income Taxes anymore, right? I mean, there won’t be anymore federal agencies that rely on tax dollars. Trump and Elon sure as hell ain’t getting any more of my money!

ltorsini.bsky.social•95 days ago

You did NOT fight on the clearly compromised election. Democrats rolled over, like they always do. Obama giggled with Trump like a school girl at Pres Jimmy Carters funeral. Biden sat down for freaking TEA with Trump and handed him the keys to our democracy. Y’all are complicit! Stop the game.

smlrun.bsky.social•95 days ago

problem w dems all talk they still haven’t done anything no emergency filing to stop musk no criminal ref to doj or even dc police nothing. they sat at home over the weekend and did nothing. democrats a joke weak no fight musk stil plowing through still nothing from dems

rdel1961.bsky.social•94 days ago

American people better vocally and peacefully protest now, if they want to live in a democracy.
Don’t remain silent. The elected reps need to stand up and take the lead too and organize.
Once the door closes, on democracy, they will never be an opportunity to protest again.

jamalmountainjedi.bsky.social•95 days ago

With what power? Do you know how congress works? What emergency filing is going to to floor of the House when Mike Johnson controls what bills go to the floor? What power in committee positions do they hold to call meetings to recommend charges be brought? Learn the process that made this possible.

smlrun.bsky.social•95 days ago

emergency filing to courts. dems need to stop working w republicans stop voting for trump nominees hold of the votes. make life difficult. dems don’t know to do it. they just voted yesterday for trump nominee. a lot can be done dems r weak.

jamalmountainjedi.bsky.social•95 days ago

I really don't think you know how this process works when one nobody on the dem side got out to vote and the Gaza puritans decided to vote Trump or Jill. There won't be power. Even so remember SCOTUS is in the hands of Trump. There is no power for Dems except state level.

smlrun.bsky.social•95 days ago

dude look it up and they. can hold up the process fact

jamalmountainjedi.bsky.social•95 days ago

They did vote for this guy a few dems did. One guy outbof 3 votes and others where they didn't vote for republican nominee. Ok give me details how they hold up the process.

jamalmountainjedi.bsky.social•95 days ago

Democratic AGs and Governors have filed motions to courts they are the only ones who can currently. They voted in committee to advance RFK yes but no Dem voted for him. They are going to protest some in the senate that is on the agenda for RGK Kash and Tulsi. Yet they can only hold for so long.

smlrun.bsky.social•95 days ago

they just voted for a nominee on the floor yesterday few dems voted yes. look it up

jamalmountainjedi.bsky.social•95 days ago

Which Dems voted for Vought can you point them out? I watched this vote on cspan like I do everyday because of my line of work. Doesn't seem like this happened.
