At the end of all of this the supreme court is just going to be like "Well what they did might've been illegal but they deleted everything so we can't possibly know for sure and god forbid we convict someone innocent. Anyway let's rubber stamp this execution even the cops want stopped."
Trump and Musk aren't saving any taxpayer money. There is no fraud, at least not at levels they've indicated. All they've done is fire people, close or massively cut agencies, snoop around our private info and LIE, LIE, LIE. It's been a month and I've had it up to here 🚀.
Agreed, and it would be good if they did; but it won’t make a bit of difference, since the R’s in congress are a bunch of spineless worms who are more than happy to give up any authority they have, since they’re not interested in governing anyway.
On this one, some of the Congressional R's are militarist enough they might be willing to block some DOGE boys from accessing classified data, even though they weren't willing to have Trump convicted for it.
To be fair I have no clue why they thought that would work. "Hey you HAVE to tell us a bunch of specific information you would rather keep secret, right now. No I don't have a gun, there's just precedent that you should do this because it's nice!"
I personally think it would be more productive if the most armed nation in the world already brought the guns and pitchforks and put Musk and Trump's fate to the masses. Its too much to ask for some decent revolting. Its not like the law matters against dictators.
When a bunch of us were jumping up and down yelling “a dictatorship is coming, a dictatorship is coming!” I’m not quite sure what everyone was hearing.
Ugh....for those last two weeks before DISASTROUS 11/5, I felt like this - begging for ANYONE else to help us STOP what's happening. It will apparently have to be #REVOLUTION - now that the FASCISTS are in, they won't let us *vote* them out.
In this environment, it is so important for insiders who are thinking of speaking out to take precautions. Whistleblowing and transparency systems in fed govt are breaking down. Do not use work computer, consider legal advice before talking to media, be safe. https://Psst.org/safe
It isn’t going fast. It started in 2016. People are just beginning to pay attention now.
The only hope we have is that Trump, his Cabinet, Elon, and GOP members of Congress will eat each other before they destroy the rest of the country. That looks less & less likely all the time, though.
CNN's Zachary Cohen, Alayna Treene, and Hadas Gold pretending to not have received the memo that the Musk Junta has determined that the rule of law no longer applies:
not of Musk, he made it quite clear an economic collapse was a price worth paying, seen the home sales news today ... the Dems right NOW should be talking of a #trumprecession #muskrecession
well I have thought a collapse int he market ws due so moved 75% of my UK pension (but was in US funds) into cash just before the election and then the rest a couple of weeks back. I just thought what they would do would be bad but this ...
I'm not 100% sure about the FOIA rules but there's certain internal things that aren't subject to FOIA and its part of the FOIA person in our office's job to go through and remove those things
So not sure how that would work with an open system
Yeah, so let’s start by examining the doge payroll. Who are these guys working for? Us? A private contractor? Who I. The federal government hired and on parsed them? Are they getting government payroll checks? How much are we (or whoever) paying them?
Remember: even the names of these kids were considered state secrets in his mind and he told anyone reporting the identity of Big Balls that they committed a crime.
Claiming you're following : the law, court orders, transparency, security: while you actually aren't, is a tactic to delay frustrate and conquer. Report what they do. Not what they say. Including what they say creates the illusion that there are two sides to the story.
I really don't understand how they're getting away with any of this. If it's all so illegal why even let them in? Make them prove they're authorized then when it ends up in court at least they won't have had access. Why is the onus on the federal workers?
The more you cripple government by getting rid of staff, the longer you can skate. It's like shooting your parents then claiming leniency as you are an orphan.
I wonder if more Americans would pay attention if they also fired every person working on keeping critical lighthouses on for ships at sea along the coast.
Probably not.
So, y'all watched Hunger Games. And sided with the resistance.
Y'all watched Star Wars, The Matrix. Divergent. V for Vendetta. Saving Private Ryan. Inglorious Basterds. Schindler's List. And sided with the resistance.
It would seem it is only when it's fiction folk understand the assignment.

Why don't we call start saying it like "DOG E" (="doggy").
More cheerful, I think...

All our federal data is in musk’s AI large language model database
Anywho, this is it.

Oh, right.
That apparently wasn't a concern of tRump's either, I guess.
Yeah, that's not going to cause a housing bubble to burst at all, nope.
Time to revisit "The Big Short", mayhaps. 🤔
I think the FOIA process can be a bit too literal and cumbersome but this is not the answer
Cause that would make me just switch to paper notes and meeting in person wherever possible.
So not sure how that would work with an open system
And also people who live in DC or can get there on site.
They have to present a last-ditch opposition that requires the use of force by the U.S. marshals to move them out of the way.
It's not illegal to enter the building but to computers it is.
Probably not.
