In the past week or so, the courts have begun to try to set some boundaries on the MuskāMillerāTrump administrationās early blitz of recklessness.
. . .
This judicial review provides at least a small reprieve, hope that some of the administrationās most destructive impulses will be stopped. Or at least pared back. But even with the courts stepping up, and even with the reality of the administrationās ineptitude sinking in, this early MuskāMillerāTrump blitz remains veryāmaybe irreparablyādamaging. Of course, there are a lot of moles to whack: the U.S. Agency for International Development and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau are being dismantled at an alarming rate, and the court system is not known for being nimble. The administration is betting, perhaps rightly, that at least some of its thoughtless, lawless efforts will slip through the cracks.
But even if the courts caught them allāand even if every court facing each lawless escapade said, āNope, thatās not a thingāāstill the entire process would be doing serious damage to our institutions. Think of it as someone spoofing your identity and going on a shopping spree with your credit cards. Even if the goon gets caught, you still have to go store by store to argue that the fraudulent purchase wasnāt legitimate and hope the debt is forgiven. And all the while, perhaps long after all the debts are dealt with, the torrent of uncertainty kills your credit score.
Iām a federal employee. You have no idea the stress my family and I have been dealing with since that motherfucker swore in.
A relative of mine is a state employeeā¦ he had two reports thatād applied for transfer to the equivalent federal departmentsā¦ and those two have now withdrawn their requests.
I wish you the best of luck and I thank you for your contribution to public well being.
They wouldnāt have been hired anyway. We had people who were supposed to start on Monday, January 27th. On Thursday the 23rd, their offers were rescinded and we were told they wouldnāt be starting. I can only imagine. Of course they had already quit their previous job. Now what the fuck are they doing?
He didnāt swear in. Elon just showed up.
No, he bought his way in and probably holds dirt over Trump. This wasnāt random chance.
Dirt? Guy is a convicted felon, says and does monstrous things openly, and denies things he just did on video the day before. He promoted a violent attack on his own government. He is dirt, he lives dirt. Unless itās a video of him literally beheading dozens of kittens, I canāt imagine it would give him any leverage. Not even sure if that would either sadly.
The one thing Trump seems afraid of is Epstein related dirt.
Thatās likely the dirt Musk holds.
The scariest thing is that even if Musk or Trump were to film and upload themselves ritualistically murdering kittens, their followers would call it fake AI. Thereād be nothing anyone could do or say to convince them otherwise, short of them witnessing the slaughter in-person with their own eyes (and even that might not do it.)
Thereās no way that the release of so much generative AI last year, just before this election, was a coincidence. Fascists got this shiny new tool for denying reality, and now theyāre free to dismiss photos and videos without question or repercussion.
Trumpās comment about Elon who āknows those computers very wellā relating to voting machines makes me think that all the other crimes he did before are small fries comparitively to what Elon has on him/what Trump owes Elon.
Trump allowing himself to be openly cucked by Elon repeatedly is not something that he would just let happen without something big going on behind the scenes. Trump is a massive narcissist, and he is not afraid to tell people to fuck off normally if they steal his spotlight or slightly disagree with him. Just look at his last administration for plenty of examples.
Possibly that Trump wasnāt legally elected and Elmo rigged the election for him. It would explain Trumpās servile attitude in the oval office earlier. Elmoās fucking kid basically told Trump to STFU.
Parkrose Permaculture did an excellent video on that press conference and the dark implications of the childās words. Jordan Lund removed my comment from politics because videos arenāt allowed. Iām beginning to wonder if this is denial or active aid.
Everyone holds dirt on Trump. That man hasnāt had a metaphorical shower in his life.
I donāt live in the US, but I did want to just say that as an outsider I appreciate the effort you are putting in, especially given the hostile working environment.
Good luck homie
