The GOP, their DOGEbags, Elmo and Felon 47 aren’t looking for government waste. They’re looking for ways to ensure the public pays for a $4.5T tax cut to the Billionaire Class.

King Trump vows to shutter the @USPS and have Amazon handle all US. In return, shit-eater @JeffBezos bends the knee & begs to be the world’s first trillionaire. King Musk is furious as he wants to be the first to reach that milestone. We are at a standstill. More to come.

Trump is looking bad because Biden deported more people in the same period of time he has. He thinks a new director is the answer. It’s not. He’s finding out about logistics. That, and he’s fucking stupid. apple.news/APNPTPv3LTou...

So the President not only fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. He also fired the top JAGs at the Army, Navy and Air Force. Those are the lead people who determine what is a legal order and what is not. So if you're planning to do things that are illegal they're the most obvious obstacle.

Trump’s betrayal of Americans: He promised not to cut Medicaid—now he’s backing a House plan that slashes $880 billion from it. All to fund $4.5 trillion in tax cuts for the rich. He doesn’t care if families drown in debt, as long as he & his billionaire buddies get richer. Don’t Cut My Medicaid!

Pay attention to this. Replacing JAGs with loyalists enables whatever orders Trump and Hegseth issue to be interpreted as lawful.

So let's get this straight: The U.S. and Elon are now extorting Ukraine and threatening to turn off their Starlink Internet access unless they give their critical rare earth minerals to the United States? Staggering levels of corruption.

This military purge is about Trump installing loyalists in every senior role, just as he filled his cabinet with sycophants and enablers willing to carry out his dangerous and illegal orders. This won’t end well for our country.
