      No, Elon’s got the real power this time. Trump’s demented and checked out, so long as he’s getting money and enough attention he doesn’t care. Most of congress doesn’t appear to care if they’re still getting their checks and investment returns. Elon truly believes in the supremacist checklist he’s getting done. And no one with the power is doing anything about it.

      I wish he weren’t, but he is an American citizen. Saying that doesn’t count is one of the problematic things about this administration

    So, they want the people to revolt against the US government of which consists of them? Yes, it’s a psychological tactic. I hate something. I want something I hate to fail. I become what I want to fail. Make it fail. Complain about how what I hate is failing. Try to remove what I hate because it is now failing.

      Nope. You’re still on the old strat. Their new strat is claiming to be the revolutionaries, as they burn it all down for resale.

      Arrest him and try him for treason.

      He has committed acts that adhere him to enemies of the United States and publicly admitted to this.

        you really really haven’t been paying attention to the head of the judicial branch of us government, namely the supreme court, and their recent determination that presidents cannot be held criminally responsible for their actions while in office, the department of justice from where all federal prosecutions and investigations come, reports directly to donald trump, the supreme court’s republican majority was installed by donald trump personally. there’s nobody that will arrest musk or trump. so, again, i ask, now what?

          Technically that ruling stated the President was above all laws.

          Musk and his child goons aren’t.

          But, also, yes, if the FBI was going to do its fucking job it would have by now.

            Trump can pardon them for anything and everything at a federal level, and the current Supreme Court says you can do nothing about it. That makes whoever the president favors above the law.

      LOL, so did I. If the citizenry wasn’t already armed we’d have jackboots marching and martial law right now this moment.

    No English speakers have any idea about the proper use of our language anymore. This isn’t a revolution, it is a devolution that is taking place. Who wants to place bets on how long it will take for us to get back to the stone age?
