The vast majority of Senators & Representatives do not understand what their lives are going to be like after Trump/Musk muck up and/or steal large payment streams to states, local gov'ts, contractors, and individuals, while every sector gets hit with a tariff tax.

Third question was about marches in state capitols on February 5. Fourth question is about impeachment. Rep. Salinas says behind the scenes some Republicans are beginning to recognize how chaotic and illegal these actions are by the Trump admin.

The honest to god risk of assassination went through the roof.

they learned nothing from that CEO getting ventilated on the street in broad daylight

maxpeck.bsky.social•29 days ago

Why hasn't @maxwellfrost.bsky.social or @aoc.bsky.social introduced Articles of Impeachment on Elon Musk yet?

Oh God that would get some headlines and piss off Trump.

maxpeck.bsky.social•29 days ago

Wouldn't Elon Musk count as a "civil officer" and subject to impeachment by the Congress, @maxkennerly.bsky.social?

juliramming.bsky.social•29 days ago

I hope they will. Fox News is reporting this as Musk the savior has come to save our money from being misspent.

Yeah Schumer can literally keep doing the copy/paste "imagine pizza costs after Trump tariffs" and probably snag red state senate seats if Republicans let this happen with no resistance

I actually think it’s a great way for a politician to end up underground!

cursed.monster•29 days ago

After being rather higher above ground than they expected!

I’m not concerned that Trump will finish his term. He won’t. I’m concerned that the real plan is to do so much damage, so fast, that there’s no fixing it.

America put itself back together after the Civil War. We can do it again. First steps: Amendments to the Constitution - no more life tenure for fed judges, citizens united amendment, president not above law amendment

flavadave.bsky.social•29 days ago

I would argue it didnt...and short of a full collapse or trashing of the Constitution amendments aren't happening.

rme33.bsky.social•29 days ago

It definitely did not. For anyone curious, American Nations is a great, accessible primer on just how little has really changed, culturally, in American history.

We need 2/3 of the states to ratify amendments, so I think passing three is off the table. Remember that Republicans still want absolute power. They just don’t want it in the form of Elon Musk.

Three quarters. 38 of them.

rme33.bsky.social•29 days ago

My bad, thanks. Underscores even more how hard it is.

nunyarunii.bsky.social•29 days ago

But many of those same constituents will come back to their homes, pink slips in hand, and sit in front of their TV’s to watch Faux News tell them it’s democrats’ fault.

BEGINNING?????

bjc860.bsky.social•29 days ago

The whole "behind the scenes" nonsense already rearing it's ugly head, too.

Not sure if it's lies or cope or whatever. But no one, and I mean no one, should be falling for it again.

It's wallet inspector territory now.

They'll be lucky to only be removed from political life. There's a reason the government has plans to maintain the financial system after nuclear attack.

think you are giving them too much credit. They do know and they are willing to take this gamble. They actually think they can pull it off and that they will be rewarded and elevated for their loyalty.

The protests once the weather is warmer are going to be wild!

"like the plot of a political thriller....new kind of coup in which Elon Musk, richest man in the world...has taken over the payment and other administration systems that allow the American government to function...locked out federal employees from" them

There are 340M+ guns in this country and a LOT of unhinged people who aren't going to let them finish their thought of, "Actually I supported the renewal & enforcement of
CFR § 52.232-25, but through a non-procedural ombuds..."
