Members of Congress say they were just denied entry to USAID headquarters on orders of Elon Musk and DOGE and were told to contact the State Department for any further information.

just a photo op to them. all kayfabe, no substantive opposition

evethevampire.bsky.social•77 days ago

But if you were to tell the cops to fuck off, they'd either come back within the hour with a warrant or possibly just bust in anyways because of "reasonable suspicion".

The members of congress are somehow weaker than a fucking traffic cop.

Taking definitive action is counter to norms

Last I heard some went in and were recording (but apparently not livestreaming) on their phones

They're all 97 years old, they're probably still surprised you can see pictures on those things

My kingdom for a diva!

I would love to get arrested in front of a bunch of reporters by Elon Musks goons and make the system figure out why this is legal.

mikeocon.bsky.social•78 days ago

Seriously, they were told. "You'll need to contact the State department for answer. Well okay do that. And if they aren't legal keep on pressing.

nevertheless, well, I guess you couldn't say we persisted but we certainly tried once

We should be able to call for snap elections on the grounds that a congressman is a punk ass bitch.

how do they not realize that THEY are in charge?
especially with everyone yelling that they are in charge

Korean representatives were crawling through windows to vote to impeach the President. Americans are weak.

The metaphor is especially apt given the plot of A Bug’s Life

jennyfromohio.bsky.social•77 days ago

They know if they call it what it is, they will have to do something. It is an illegal coup of all government agencies. That means they will also have to step outside of the law to stop it. They won't escalate. They don't know how.

"oh ok thanks"

gokuashnaruto.bsky.social•77 days ago

They held a press briefing out front and caused a real to-do.

And then just left.

serasvallo.bsky.social•78 days ago

No, they held a press conference outside to draw attention to the situation.

elonmuskshairplugs.bsky.social•78 days ago

Such courage!

xehtfodrol.bsky.social•78 days ago

I swear to God this level of incompetence could only be willing accomplices, except the GOP could never keep their mouths shut if the Dems were doing as they were told.

The current Dem leadership is just this stupid.
