I WILL BE ON OUR COMMUNITY CORNER WITH MY SIGNS. I HOPE YOU ARE ALSO!
And consider what if?
What if Musk, Crazed CEO of America Inc wins.
You must have a plan.
For your family and community.
Immigration?
Where too?
Join a resistance?
Because THEY are planning.
Concentration camps are being built.
Never say it can’t happen
“The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) was created on July 21, 2011, following the passage of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.”
Now, why would Trump want to wreck that?
Enjoy the ride!
They’re stripping you of your protections from being swindled, stolen from and manipulated in every conceivable way from those who control the wealth.

Time to talk about 'ethics and morals' with the Trumpists, GOP & republicans all around USA.
Are they 'for or against' the Constitution and American laws.
Simple question – with a simple answer.
Teach those fcukers the hard way

Further, Trump’s order to shut down CFPB has nothing whatsoever to do with the government waste Musk purports to be on a righteous mission to eliminate.
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, a brainchild of Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., was set up by the Federal Reserve…
CFPB opened in 2012, with a budget far below $1 billion a year. Quite impressively, it has since returned more than $21 billion to Americans — aggressively protecting them from the abuses of big banks, non-bank financial services (including…
Consumers have benefited immensely from CFPB.
Consequently, big banks hate CFPB.
Oligarchs hate and Big Tech hate CFPB.
In general, the GOP hates CFPB.
Consider the Musk factor.
Tech…

Last week, Musk announced a deal with Visa to partner on a digital wallet. Prior to Trump, the Musk-Visa venture would fall to the CFPB to regulate. Instead, as Bloomberg reports, it’s entirely possible that Musk’s Doge lackeys…

But last year the US Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the CFPB's funding structure. So they're on plan B -- kill it anyway.
To understand what this means to them in dollars
This is FASCISM.
We used to kill Fascists. Now we are fascist.
TRUMP IS MAKING AMERICANS LESS SAFE.
TRUMP IS A CRIMINAL.
TRUNP IS A FRAUD.
(Honestly, a stock market crash wiping the wealth of thousands of rich guys off the map might actually be a good thing)
