"While Trump retains the ceremonial position of Head of State, signing executive orders with flourish and basking in symbolic pageantry, Musk has effectively become Head of Government, wielding unprecedented control over federal agencies."

Citizens are really clamoring for something they can do to stop Musk and Trump. I’d like to see every single loud Dem voice/consultant/pundit/politician have a daily, bold action list for us to do.
Another reason why the schedule of Elections in America are a litmus test for public opinion. Thankfully there will always be more books about how government works than about people who don't know how government works.
Who would have thought that you could run the government as a “Senior Advisor” to the elected president? That is some nice trick. He gets to do what he wants with no accountability. Nice gig if you have enough money to buy the presidency, and he did.
This is a CRISIS ..I keep wondering when the sky starts to fall WHO is going to HOLD THE LINE ..I hope all the ENABLERS will feel the pain .Sorry but my honest feelings.
I think those numbers are available,..sounds right also..
Democratics typical outnumberd Republicans over past history. But sure seems we are in new territory now.
Start talking to everyone you know and ask the em why they voted the way they did. Then tell them what the consequences are of their actions. Until we all do that it’s never going to change. Fact.
This did not have to be and it’s the fault of Americans who don’t gaf about anything but themselves. That’s how democracy crumbles. Period. We the People better wake tf up right now.
I'm not in disagreement with you..however the Republicans could have impeached Trump after the Jan 6 coup
Trump would not have been Constitutionally able to run as President..we would then not be having this exchange 😊
I’m telling everyone I know get off their asses bc this is the big one. You knew it Nov 5th and you ignored it. Now you can’t ignore it anymore. Whether they do or not is on them. Just keep telling them the damage they did. What’s at stake. Many don’t even get the truth! Nobody listens to media.
This parallel reality sucks big time. If anyone had written this as a TV show it would probably have been discontinued because it’s so beyond anything plausible. How do I switch channels on this thing?
Musk’s goals may be eliminating any federal inquiries into his businesses and slashing expenditures generally. But the effect will be to cripple the ability of any agency to conduct normal business. The result will be widespread chaos.
In the next phase, should the juggernaut go unchecked, the de facto President will be neither Trump nor Musk but Steve Brannon, for whom the breakdown of the whole society is the point.
If you need another reason to boycott Tesla & other companies in which Fuhrer-unelect Musk has any interest (& destroy his wealth?), Musk's company sue's people in China who complain about Tesla.
Marc, you have to realize where this trashing of federal government services is going: privatization. The amount ofbribery, kickbacks & profiteering that would result from privatization of government services from the National Park Service, to the FAA, to Social Security & Medicare is mind boggling.
Trump/Musk plan for destroying government & stealing everything: 1 Sabotage services by firing employees 2 sabotage revenues & blow up deficit by cutting taxes for rich/businesses 3 use 1&2 to justify privatizing all govt functions 4 Use 3 for biggest bribery/kickback/profiteering ripoff in history.
It's obvious by the ridiculous nature of his EOs, elon effectively shutting down whole agencies and holding the working class hostage, it is time to 25th Amendment this MFer!
Vance is so unliked by maga, he would be neutered from the start. He could be managed.
President Musk is lining his own pockets and part of a billionaire class of narrow interests who seek to amass greater wealth at the expense of Americans.
We need to Keep democracy alive! Defeat the authoritarian threat. Individuals and groups can and do make a difference. We Matter, make noise as often as possible. Grassroots Organic movement to save our democracy has begun. We will not consent. Democrats are For the People. Votes Matter💙
Likely the DOGE team/hackers are laying down systems for Musk's AI company in all these gov't agencies like Soc Sec, IRS, etc. & now we're suppose to believe Musk is not involved w DOGE at all other than simply reporting progress to the Pres. where are elected officials re: monitoring/overseeing?
"Trump, you go and golf. I will rape and pillage for the first month and 'find' you some theives. My grandfather set up the plan and it all ends up well for you so 'I want you to shut your Fortin mouth. You are not the president'"
Musk is seriously unstable. He should be nowhere near any government agency. He absolutely needs a complete psychological evaluation along with a drug screen & then a serious intervention & possibly hospitalization for observation. America, take this seriously, Musk is dangerous & must be reigned in

If he didn’t like the way things worked in America, he should have stayed in South Africa

I think that will take him by surprise.
Ofc China's courts are as corrupt as the SCOTUS.

Direct appropriate analogy.
