Just going to copy & paste: Talk about useless. Our Democratic representatives are horrified, they denounce it all, they are quivering with rage. 🙄🙄 DO SOMETHING!!! Same old weak-ass response and we’re sick of it. Exactly when do you wussies take off your gloves? Do you even have gloves on?
I am so torn between this…and wishing they would just spill alllllllll the beans on the GOP crime ring. All the drug and sex parties, all the accusations all the evidence for all of them.
With Elon Musk threatening to acquire Substack and Bluesky, the DNC should leverage its communication tools to directly promote independent pro-democracy journalism. DNC members can directly counter efforts to silence those who disagree with Trump/Musk/Project 2025/FASCISM.
Musk bought the federal government. His self-interested evisceration of departments are authorized by Trump, who is happy to have us pay the price for Musk having kept him out of jail. That's the stark core of it.
I hate to be a "Debbie Downer", but considering the political climate, is this an example of our DNC members "serving the oath" to honor their constituents?
The true test of whether this will halt the wholesale dismantling of the United States will be if Mango Mussolini does a President Andrew Jackson and just flips a 🖕🏼 and keeps on with lawlessness. If I had to predict, this is what the asshole does
This includes our military! Someone needs to charge in and throw the terrorists out, Trump and all of his cronies! Put them in a prison for terrorists!
Military officers take an oath upon commissioning-but not to a person. It’s to “support & defend the Constitution of the U.S. against all enemies, foreign & domestic”
We're being dismantled from within. Lincoln had it right. Congress is spineless. Musk is allied with external enemies. These people genuinely hate America. What now?
No one has the guts to stand up to this regime. They all will bow down and cave to him and sell their soul and bury the oath and constitution. This is shameful. Our country is done for. We have no heroes left. I was hoping some good guys are left but I am wrong.
I hear your frustration. It’s disappointing when leaders abandon their principles. But history shows that even in dark times, people rise up. The fight isn’t over, and heroes can emerge in unexpected ways. Don’t lose hope—change often starts when people refuse to stay silent.
One reason they're all afraid to stand up to Trump has to do with the $1 billion+ in just one of Trump's PACs. They don't want to risk losing out on that money for their campaigns.
To me they are selling our country out over their seat in office. Selfish if you ask me. They don’t want their cash cow to end. They are not putting the country first over their pockets. And that is both parties doing that.
Another is threats of physical violence from the maga base against them and their family members. Like what happened to Paul pelosi. It is horrible that this is how our politics are run. Money and violence.

Beginning to feel like all of our elected officials, military, and law enforcement are either too scared, or are complicit. There is no other explanation for letting this continue.
We shouldn't even have to say that every day is a day when government employees should honor their oaths to the Constitution. It has come to the tragic point when we have to say that THIS is the day. Why does this happen? We have a president who every day is hellbent on dishonoring the Constitution.
Ok, you sorry asses excuse for US citizens. Jesus Christ 🤷🤦♀️
WHAT IS IT GONNA TAKE TO GET YOU OUT ON THE STREET, IN YOUR DRIVE WAY, YOUR STREET CORNER? IT STARTS THERE!
FACK, YOU GUYS ARE UNBELIEVABLE! GET THE FUCK OFF YOUR COUCH & INTO THE STREET. IT'S A COUP, DON'T YOU GET THAT?
The FBI has a policy of not arresting a sitting President. What can they do? Musk not only has Top Security clearance but also has full immunity from ANY prosecution with Trump's pardon power.
Yes! We need “bouncers”! Musk & his hackers are loose in the operating systems of our government and they must be physically removed, By any means possible.
I looked at my Oath page yesterday in my eOPF (while I still had access to it) to print it all. Took it back in 1991 and have kept that Oath every day since. I do not understand how the Democratic lawmakers do not have a Coup plan. It’s wildly incompetent.
I've been hesitant to issue rallying cries to federal workers, including FBI agents, knowing they too have families to support. This is a time for extraordinary courage.
Dems have no leader. Schumer is beyond useless. If labor unions coordinated with physicians & teachers they could bring the country to its knees. They hold the power! However there are NO LEADERS.
I’ve no idea at this point. I think everyone is looking out 4 themselves & their future political careers,(i.e. Buttigieg is going 2 run 4 the senate in MI.) We need a Dem who can’t be bought & isn’t afraid of the clown fest, 2 take control & organize us. Dem leadership should be “interviewing” now!
We also have to act as consumers. No one should be on Twitter or meta, don't spend a fine at Walmart, Amazon, Target. Cancel your spotify, Netflix, hulu. You can live without temporarily to pressure these companies to take action for their own survival.
You can read books instead, check out volunteering opportunities with the National Park Service/local/state parks, talk to your neighbors, attend a local lecture, art exhibit, musical event, etc, and just enjoy the freedoms we have as Americans.
What we need is a cease on news coverage of them. It is what feeds them. They don’t really care how pissed voters get. They don’t plan to do anything for them anyway.
Even international aid workers are afraid for their physical safety. Insane times. They’re screaming “criminals” at charity workers who help resettle refugees through vetted and approved programs with the UN; work that’s been happening for decades.
Trump never put his hand on the bible when he took the oath! Why was it not reported?
Yes, and chaos and deflection is happening at a rapid rate so Americans cannot see it coming! But read Project 2025. It is documented step by step, pillar by pillar!
I just checked my FB account and feed, I found 0 instances of anti Trump/Musk postings (including mine). It appears that in yet another win for “free speech”, all criticism of the current regime is being scrubbed.
For all vets 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸. This guy is 🔥. We know the words but hear his emotion 🔥. Our country is about tinder box right now and will Erupt sooner rather than later. Trump and Elon are in full CEO mode thinking they can just call all the shots. https://www.facebook.com/100001730591652/videos/969891594597175/
Is there some way for Democrats to deny quorum or something? This can't keep continuing. Why aren't they in the streets instead of just passively denying senate appointments that are going to be approved by the feckless Republicants anyways?
So we are clear here, Trumpies. The entire purpose of these tariffs, according to the liar in chief, is to make it so expensive for American owned companies to bring goods into the US that they will move back to the US and bring YOUR jobs back. That DID NOT happen, and it's NOT going to.
GOP is capitulating, as DJT, rips up the Constitution. They will get to finish off those voting laws. Remember DJT said "vote for me and it's the last time you'll have to do it".
GOP doesn't need to worry. They just need to make sure they have a seat at the table and not fighting for scraps!
If we get through this with voting rights intact, our individual screening process of candidates must be stronger. Will they buy billboards or dinners? When was the last time they read a 1,000 pg document and identified insights? How have they lived in a way consistent with a service-oriented life?
A religious representative can speak powerfully but will not draw a target on himself, thinking he/she is needed to continue to preach. Bishop Budde is the exception to standing up to a bully.
A lot of us were trying to tell Dems this, but people loved him and put him on a pedestal. He's a neo-lib at best, and actually fighting for progressiveness he quietly refuses to do. He does give a mean speech though.
Ro Khana surprised me, but I've been told the signs were there for him too.
I’m starting to think Nancy Pelosi is complicit. She overlooked AOC for some aging white dude for a leadership role. Pelosi also groomed Hakeem for the role he is in now.
Throw the bat at them. Then go to the on deck circle and throw any bats there. Then go to the dugout and throw bats, balls, catcher’s masks, anything you can find. The game is over. The brawl is just beginning.
Serious question Joyce, given it's likely that in very short order all enforcement agencies (FBI, Police, DHS, CBP, Military etc...) will be basically purged of anyone but pro-Trump loyalists, who do we expect will enforce any legal rulings against him that actually survive the pro-Trump SCOTUS?
My friends Mr. Mossberg, Dr. Ruger, and well, I don't have a clever name for American Tactical.
we were reminded time and again by Meal team 6 that this moment is what the 2A was for.
You need to be a little more clear - is it the oath they took to the constitution or their oath to serve Donald Trump? Because Republicans have done both.
Have ALL the democrats just thrown in the towel? Biden had that chipper fireside chat with Trump WHEN HE HAD THE POWER TO STOP THIS, and laughed. Did they just not give a fuck?
They've skirted all the laws, rules and norms already. The people in congress now aren't doing anything. How is Leon, even allowed to do what he is doing? We're headed for handmaids tale territory and it's being allowed.
We’re stuck with imbeciles like Vance & Mike Johnson. We need to get control of the house in the midterms but it appears as if the Dems are asleep at the wheel.
Yep Trump without the architects of p2025 is just a blustering old blob. Remove the brain trust. My take is Thiel/Vance make their 25 th amendment move before the year is over
Yea, but if you think about it, that quietness is probably best. You wouldn’t want them putting out a list of 3 dozen or so names that have to be dropped within a 4 hour (give or take) range to ensure America’s freedom.
The greatest shame of all isn't what Trump or his oligarch wannabees are doing. The biggest shame is that elected Republican senators and members of congress are letting them. Shame, shame, shame on the Republican party and it's spineless leaders.
Shame, shame, shame on the Democratic Party and its spineless leaders, as well, who did NOTHING to stop this nightmare. They rolled over and took it right up the ass without lube.
Even if congress does the right thing, no guarantee and unlikely trump and musk will obey. Why would they? They’re whole deal is stealing what they want and think they deserve.
They don't have to obey, they think they are above the law. What should be done is the military should step in and drag their asses out of our White House and wherever that muskrat and his cronies have their office.
They know they don't have to obey laws. They've already been shown that laws don't apply to them.
I mean, what consequences has the orange fascist ever faced?
Laws are only for the poor.
Right now, there are flag officers (Generals and Admirals) that are loyal to their furher trump. He immediately dismissed all officers, even non-commissioned, who would not pass the loyalty test.
He'd be accountable to the military if only they'd grow a pair of balls and courage.
I really believe it's going to take war to get him out of office if no one in government does nothing about what trump and musk are doing.
lol the military that voted mostly for him? The military that for years I’ve been reading about right wing militias joining and infiltrating the ranks of? You sound like you’d call the cops and think they’re good guys.
Seems like if every member in congress and the senate isn’t doing anything to musk tampering with government computers and data right in front of their faces, they probably weren’t aware if he did it behind their backs either. #FairElection
Define to serve what. The oath to serve used to mean uphold the constitution not a cult leader. I feel sorry for my brothers and sisters in arms. They are under thumb of a moron with a bunch of pathetic Republican do nothings whom fear Musk.
Tbh I'm so curious what members of the military themselves are seeing and thinking about all this... I don't have a lot of hope but at least a few of them have to be going "Excuse me?" About this mess.
Personally I think he'll be dead and either Vance will be refusing to leave or Musk will have found his way into office since law obviously doesn't matter and we won't be able to get rid of him.
He will not leave. He will halt all elections! At that point Congress will be superfluous! Unnecessary! The Republicans who kiss his ass will be fired, like FBI, Dems too , and every other government employee.
Hello my friend, I am sorry for this comment, but I need you. I am Ahmed, I live in Gaza🍉... We are a family of 8 members and our lives are at risk because of the war Can you help me a little? 😥 https://gofund.me/5cd39587
Oh that’s such pre 2016 thinking there Joyce……..I feel like Jimmy Stewart in Mr Smith Goes To Washington…….everything I’ve heard all my life about the USA and the rule of law is just a bunch of hooey!!!
The easiest heist in history took place when Musk walked into the US Treasury. If you think lawsuits will stop him, they won’t. Trump already made a mockery of our justice system by delay and distraction. They will ignore the law. We are in dire straits.
The cost of defying the commander-in-chief is extraordinarily high. We can't expect people to storm the gate. The military is a strategic war machine. If they do act, it won't be messy guerrilla bs.
We need to carry the torch as well. Rage-posting only goes so far.
Yes, in the larger scheme of things, but I'm talking about more immediate arrests. If someone was breaking into my house I would not be thinking about the sheriff in the next election.
Yes it would! What chance do you think they have of making an impact while outnumbered? What else can they be doing? What more can we be doing as citizens, besides calling and writing our reps? I'm in a red state and am met with busy signals and no way to leave a message. I've emailed instead.
However they went ahead and voted to put RFK Jr nomination through. May posterity not be kind to everyone that voted and their families, children and grandchildren and great grandchildren. May your families suffer for your choices.🙏

WE MUST FIGHT TO SAVE DEMOCRACY!!"
To actually take an oath. You have to place your hand on the book. Be it a Bible or Koran or the cuneiform text, which would be my pick. Trump did not place his hand on the book. That is the binding part of the spell. Yes, an oath is a spell. The placing of the hand on the book activates the oath.
Without placing his hand on the book, there was no binding oath. He purposefully kept his hand at his side. He, therefore, did not take the oath. He is not a sworn in president.
He is a Usurper. He is taking the power without the oath. And he knows it.
Your oath to the Constitution is still in force. You swore to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution.” The presidency ends but your Constitutional oath doesn’t.
Honor your oath & fight back! Preserve, protect & defend the Constitution. NOW.
I hope every member of Congress & politician wakes up today & realizes Musk has THEIR bank account numbers from direct deposit, THEIR social security number, THEIR addresses, THEIR info too
He and those boys working with him have it all
Walking around with it
Maybe then they'll have him arrested
It’s crazy! somehow I got signed up for some Reddit notification thing I guess and I received an email on this and just watched it this morning. Not the thing to wake up too. But this makes a lot more sense then spying and stealing money for shits and giggles
With the DOJ and FBI in thrall to the fascist regime, there is no way to enforce any federal law. Republicans in Congress are the reason all of this is happening.
Why, when you can have a drug-addled, mentally ill, megalomaniac Broligarch do your (the GOP) dirty work for you? As for the Dems? I'd be happy if they DID ANYTHING other than talk, talk, flipping talk.
We’re really gonna still have to kiss veterans asses about freedom aren’t we? Please stand for our Hero of the Game: 1sgt Swann of the Dirlewanger Brigade who served in the El Salvador prison nexus.
the felon president has taken out an Impeachment insurance policy, his vp, vance.
however terrible the felon is, would the vice be worse and longer lasting? uncertain
get rid of vp and voilà, "pres" mike johnson; incroyable!
But who is going to react to this? No one. Schumer is beyond useless.
Tuberville could hold up
Military appointment for months BUT the Dems can’t figure out how to hold up appointments of crack pots like JFK, Gabbard, Hegseth…they’re beyond useless!
What do you suggest? I am ready to pick up a rifle to defend the constitution along with a million similar ex servicemen. But I am not going alone as a martyr like Navalny or pragosin or Otto warmbier.
Agreed. Please sign and share to show your support for Feb 5 Protests!
Tonight I made a Petition for anyone Nationwide and Globally who can't make it to the Protests on February 5th, for numerous reasons. Let's show them the Blue Wave!
We all know what serving the public means now. And it’s not in the normal range of politics. Amongst the self serving swine that make up the ruling class, someone of moral fibre needs to step up. Musk is the most obvious problem. A threat to our collective good. Before it’s too late.
Trump is proposing to relocate all Palestinians out of Gaza. He wants the US to pay and clear the Gaza demolition site, as he calls it. He wants the US to take over Gaza and redevelop it. He wants to grab land for himself, Trump Hotels. What happened to America First. He's screwing USA.
Jared had discussed this for two years and his $2 billion Saudi hedge fund will now invest there by providing TRUMP Inc. the low interest loans to do so. All protected by the US Military, and any American speaking against it will be labeled an enemy of the people. Money talks Saudi's walk.
There should have already been a violent uprising on the inside to take them down. Since there wasn’t, I have no faith in anyone that took an oath. Especially the military or police.
The military & police departments are just itching to be able to flex their power. That’s what they’re betting on. Hitler 2.0. And Schumer just naps…..

Given that Sen Cassidy (R) voted “YES,” it is likely that RFK Jr. will be the next HHS Secretary to create health policy for Americans.
Heaven help us.
And he has drawn attention to his service in the Marine Corp consistently in his campaign messaging.
Turns out: the dust settles on one's boots the same way, whether advancing a forward line, or retreating.

(Younger folks look up George bush and the quote. Its comedic)
“Fool me twice well (this is where he forgets the line) well if you fool me once I can’t be fooled again.”
I’m paraphrasing I’ll find a clip
They work for us and these votes violate their oaths of office.
no more oaths. Only enforceable contracts.
If you work for him, is it worth your integrity to support the man who’s taking over America?
You really want that to be your legacy?
They can’t be allowed to recover and an assassination of one person won’t get that done.
It needs to be a massive operation to remove all the key pillars that prop up this regime. It takes some serious coordination.
Basically, flawless execution will get the job done
Taking a shot now at Musk won’t bring an end. The rest of the rabble will burrow in like ticks and suck the lifeblood from the country all the same.
I mean, what consequences has the orange fascist ever faced?

The oft yelled ‘patriotism’ is and was a ruse.
Thanks for enhancing ours however.
Your little more than a punchline internationally.
Spread the work, networking can help us get real resistance organized.
Pass along all messages of people looking to put up resistance.
Here is how we got here👇. The founders warned us!
We need to carry the torch as well. Rage-posting only goes so far.
Be mindful and deserving of this
Vote to purge these traitors from their pedestals.
