It appears it’s about much more than tax cuts - draining the Treasury, economic and governmental collapse, and surrendering the Nation without firing a shot - all appear to be possible - while the Nation is overwhelmed by all that’s happening. It already may have been done.
Hostile takeover?
…Then again, this isn’t so hostile, it’s just that the elected one is too busy signing his name on as many orders as he possibly can…just to say he did.
F-elon broke into and seized Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and it's web page went offline, and will to "delete it"...
Reason?.., because the agency oversees and supervises payment apps... like Elon Musks planned real-time payments through the X Money Acct due to launch in 2025....Oligarch
That's the inherent truth of our economic system: The Magic Line must continue to go Up. Protecting consumers from malicious practices is hindering the Magic Line's ability to go Up.
After the 2007-2009 Great Recession, law professor Elizabeth Warren was invited to DC to help clean up the mess.
She recommended creation of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, much to the anguish of bank & Wall Street executives against controls.
They've been trying to destroy it ever since.
Heritage Foundation has been building on this Since Reagan. Orchestrated and Organized. Powell Manifesto. Heritage created a Lockstep Republican party ....parrot and Staying line.
To be fair, this has been a work in progress over the last 50ish years.
The strategy seems to have been: slowly strip away rights, spread propaganda, sew division, and convince ppl (often through misinformation or outright lies) that their only salvation is to surrender their remaining rights.
It's been rather sobering to realize despite being taught in school repeatedly about the strength of the foundations in our system of Government, the truth of the matter is it was all foundational on a pinkie promise gentleman's agreement.
The founders never expected us to be so stupid to elect a Donald Trump, twice. But I agree. It’s really only up to the Courts to stall this as long as possible until the mid terms. There is a special election in Florida for two more House seats in April too. They are must win to save our Republic.
In total fairness to modern practices, the founders would likely have some pretty heinous opinions about our modern ability to have non-white, non-male, non-landowners vote in an election as well.
But after Mueller and Garland, I'm not holding out any hope that the Lawyers will save us.
Geez whiz, why would billionaires want to dissolve an agency that is charged with preventing corporate fraud and abuse of American consumers? Same reason they want to get rid of regulation, it’s the Robber Barons all over again
All Musk DOGE “employees” need to be APPREHENDED and relieved of all federal government data documents and servers ILLEGALLY removed from federal offices.
ALL SERVERS THEY ACCESSED must be inspected for any potentially MALICIOUS SOFTWARE DAMAGE their HACKING may have installed.
He won't sell his cars through dealerships to avoid class action lawsuits. He requires a signed contract that calls for arbitration in order to avoid any court actions. This would remove any guardrails for him to act ethically in his business dealings.
So what I seem to gather from this past week of headlines is musk is running our government and no one can stop him. So basically he is our de facto King?
At least 200 million against an orange blob and an out of control jerk should be child's play! The rest of the world has taken down his electric car business pretty quickly!
Because America voted for a republican president, House, senate, and Supreme Court. The dems can't do anything because they aren't in charge of anything.
What does good trouble look like to you in the scenario? Flip a desk over with the computer on it when he asks to access the computer? And then you get fired and arrested and he still gets access to the thing that he wants?
Because there's no mechanism to do so. He's invading executive branch departments with the permission of the head of the executive branch. Judges are the only ones who can stop him and only once people file suit against him.
Cui bono? Protections and regulations exist to safeguard citizens from the predatory practices of corporations and the powerful who exploit the system for their own gain. Without these checks, the vulnerable would be left at the mercy of those with the resources to bend the rules for their advantage
This isn't about cutting govt waste? Doge already spent $7million in the first week for unexpected expenses. Do you think fElon is footing that bill? This is about control over your life, taking away all protections from citizens and giving zero accountability to the wealthy for harm caused.
Totally off topic but how did a gay man ever become a member of the melon felon's government? A married one with children. How much did he "donate"? And what will he do when the tangerine twat goes after gay marriage?
President Musk wants to make a killing on the backs of American taxpayers,the Middle Class,the Poor, Military Veterans,Seniors, the Handicapped, Native and People of Colour and Migrants, etc. God Damn President Musk and his minions, Trump, Vance, the US Senate and House; don’t forget SCOTUS!
Please stop referring to it as that. It's not a department. It's largely doing illegal things. And Trump is the president. He created this mess. It's Trump's "department."
Resist the Stupidity, Racism, Fascism, and criminality of FOTUS and his associates. Expose their actions which violate ethics, laws, or democratic principles.
IMPEACH TRUMP!
Expose the lies, hypocrisy, and lack of humanity. Take your time, as they are such awful people!
It was nice, when billionaires could not simply buy an administration for the purpose of deleting government agencies that protect the people from abuses by billionaires. I guess those were the good old days, unless we can all somehow get the many millions of Americans getting crushed to say, "NO."

Its govt website & social media accounts are gone.
This division was created to protect consumers from things like price gouging and fraud — and as of today, it no longer exists. THIS IS BIG!!!

Why the pussyfooting?

MAGAuthoritarians fail to acknowledge the power of Congress to set funding and establish/abolish departments.
Also, ask James Comer about Constitution Article I Section 8:

Remember the scene in REVENGE of the NERDS with the PervertSpyCam?
Oops.
I don't understand what you think that sort of non-compliance is going to accomplish?
