Frightening that no scandal is scandalous enough to halt all of this crime.

After a lunch meeting with Musk, Republican lawmakers acknowledged the 5-4 court ruling did not bode well for White House hopes of taking unilateral action to cut spending allocated by Congress through a controversial process known as impoundment.

You want to talk about the "deep state?" This is the deep state - Musk, DOGE, Russian oligarchs, VC funders, the IRS, and the president's inner circle all working together to take everything they can, because they know our society will never get angry enough to stop them.

This is exactly what I’m most stressed about

Everything you’re saying is 100% valid but it’s wild coming from a Rothschild 😂

Isn’t your last name the banner for the “deep state”

enchantedrocker.bsky.social•9 days ago

I'm pretty sure they're trying to destroy the IRS. If they're one in the same, why would this be the case?

Oh, we will get angry enough. Trust me. I’ve seen We, The People, angry enough before!

Strike and exercise public disobedience. When they track back, just increase the pressure.

The IRS is getting dismantled, they are the major enemy to US oligarchs

power2thepeople.bsky.social•9 days ago

Perfect. No federal taxes to fund the fuckogarchy.

jcfrandsen.bsky.social•9 days ago

Don’t throw the IRS in that mess. It’s essential to good government and are being dismantled to protect wealthy and corporate scofflaws.

Even if we did get mad enough, force would be used against us for expressing dissent.

There's a delightful thread of incompetence running through all of this, too. Arrogant, ill-informed people, who mistrust experts and don't want to ask for help because they're afraid to seem weak.

That "move fast and break things" mentality also requires an unswerving confidence that they will never be inconvenienced themselves, and will never have to clean up the mess, or care for the people who'll be harmed.

Every Republican accusation was and is simply an admission of their own guilts and desires.

I'll never understand why the superwealthy can't just be happy with what they have.

I mean, Elon is already the wealthiest person in the world and could never spend it all.

He really needs to cut programs to end cancer so he can grift another billion dollars?

ziggysden.bsky.social•9 days ago

Exactly. There is no 4D chess being played here. It’s a heist, pure and simple

tapirtrouble.bsky.social•9 days ago

Yup. All that talk of "draining the swamp". And when Canadian politicians went to DC to try to reason with Trump about the tariffs, they couldn't even get into the White House without the "help" of one of Don Jr.'s hunting buddies. That guy set up shop as a lobbyist, and is charging $80k/mo

tapirtrouble.bsky.social•9 days ago

Correction, $85k/mo! I'm a Canadian taxpayer and I'm paying for part of that. I'm very suspicious that Don Jr. basically set up the meeting where this McDowell guy *just happened* to be there, and offered his services. Oh really.

tapirtrouble.bsky.social•9 days ago

McDowell's brother is a newbie GOP House member, and is co-owner of the firm. Isn't that a conflict of interest? And apparently these Checkmate people have never had a client outside of the US before. The meeting they arranged was with a couple of WH officials

... one of whom promptly tweeted something controversial about the "51st state" stuff.
It all sounds swampy-as-heck to me.
