Donald Trump doesn’t understand or care about that. He requires guardrails bigger and stronger than most.

Threatening a private citizen for political donations is not a legitimate presidential duty, so immunity likely would not apply.

Too soon?

If Trump (while in office or running for office) threatened Elon Musk with punitive action for funding Democrats, that could trigger constitutional violations, potential criminal scrutiny, and civil lawsuits. First Amendment, abuse of power, campaign laws all are potential legal liabilities.

Militarization of the secret police. Masked, unidentifiable and looking for a fight.

Here is the justification for having a Secret Police.
In plain sight.

You should see the political smoke map showing the effects of the US government burning freedoms.

The internet has created new problems. Doxing is a problem but also not justification for a secret police with unrestricted powers.

Possibly because Trump has brought us that much closer to WWlll

It says more about how the average American experience has shifted.
Given too much freedom with inconsequential distractions we lose our understanding of the real value of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Low the plane flies where no one wields the hammer and weakness is traded as strength.

It is not a thing of a political party as much as one of the frailties of humanity to seek comfort in excesses of power.

Trump and his gang are not hiding their intentions.
Consolidation of power and subjugation of the masses.

And who will benefit?
Not the economy.
Not healthcare.
Not the middle class.
Not the underprivileged.
Not the environment.
Just those with their hand already in the pot.

DOGE is the biggest Trojan Horse of corruption to hit Washington DC.
The DOGEn Horse.
Musk gained leverage on all the regulatory agencies that oversee his enterprises.
They are not cutting expenses or waste. They are making agencies submissive to their greed.

“For National Security “
It is not almost unlimited power. It is specific authority in a specific circumstance which they are conflating to mean it applies to everything.

It is also worth mentioning that good health coverage including preventative care creates a less expensive society not a more expensive one.

Is it just me or does anyone else want senator Warren to really unleash the hounds. Stop being nice about it.

He doesn’t want to be confused by all the facts.
I joke about this to release tension but the reality of the commander in chief of our armed forces “winging it” is extremely likely to get us into situations where we are not prepared to be.

He went in and took control through intimidation and destruction of the agencies that are supposed to regulate his businesses.
Who loses? All of us.

And yet he believes himself to be the benevolent overlord.
What a crock. He is the Antichrist of democracy and innovation
comment in response to

He has always lied and stolen whatever he could. Now he does it without fear of consequences. Worst of all perhaps, he believes himself to be the benevolent protector.
Absolutely delusional.

As I continue to express my free thinking in public forums I am aware that there may be a price to pay at the hands of authoritarians who have taken over the power of government and I am willing to pay. I claim my right to free speech.
