I know that politics is a dirty business but this goes way beyond that and is right out of an authoritarian playbook.

The thing that makes me sick at my stomach is that I know it will work against their base.

MOAR for him and the Billionaire Bros while the country is more susceptible to pandemics, terrorism, planes falling out of the sky, inflation, financial security, and compromised health care.
 
Someone posted this to me on Facebook. Just pure propaganda without one shred of real evidence.

The part that is personally upsetting to me is that the lady who posted this is a remarkable person whom I love dearly. She has autistic twins which is how I met her. She is of mixed race and mostly liberal so when she posts stuff like this (also posts pro Tulsi Gabbard stuff) it really hits me hard.

DEMS need to fight back harder. Something beyond pearl clutching. Flood the Zone with lawsuits, take out advertisements to inform citizens about the consequences on health care, terrorism, pandemics, inflation, job security.

I dont think there is one single damned thing that Democrats or Republicans can do. This monster has a life of its own.
 

White House Criticizes Judge for Blocking Musk Team’s Access to Treasury Data​

Trump to Impose Tariffs on All Steel and Aluminum Imports on Monday

“… The situation could pose a fundamental test of America’s rule of law. If the administration fails to comply with the emergency order, it is unclear how it might be enforced. The Constitution says that a president “shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed,” but courts have rarely been tested by a chief executive who has ignored their orders.

Federal officials have sometimes responded to adverse decisions with dawdling or grudging compliance. Outright disobedience is exceedingly rare. There has been no clear example of “open presidential defiance of court orders in the years since 1865,” according to a Harvard Law Review article published in 2018.

…
In a statement on Saturday, Harrison Fields, a White House spokesman, called the lawsuits “frivolous” and said they were “akin to children throwing pasta at the wall to see if it will stick.”

“Grandstanding government efficiency speaks volumes about those who’d rather delay much-needed change with legal shenanigans then work with the Trump administration of ridding the government of waste, fraud and abuse,” he said. “This activist judge has resorted to locking the Senate-confirmed secretary of Treasury out of his role.”

Although the court order mandates an immediate halt to the Musk employees’ access to the Treasury Department’s payment system, it was not immediately clear when or if they would fully comply. Nor was it clear how the attorneys general would monitor the administration’s actions. …”

Republicans could if they only got a few congressmen and 18 or so senators to agree. But they won’t.

I really don't think they can. I think any attempt to curb or remove him would result in an instant outbreak of civil disorder and a declaration of a state of emergency. Trump would simply dissolve Congress at that point.

That is why instead of waiting for a blatant abuse of power we have to wait until Trump screws the economy up. Luckily for us he will because his plans are terrible and everything he touches dies.

When that happens maybe we have a chance.
