Maybe it will be that states break up into clusters of smaller countries


I hope we (NC) can be paired up with Virginia.

I mean even a NC, SC, GA and VA country would be pretty moderate if the new country didn't have gerrymandering

There is already evidence that Elon is just ignoring court orders and going ahead with his plans anyway. We could soon easily reach the point at which members of Team Trump will just start ignoring court orders, and if so there's nothing the courts can do to stop them unless Congress or the Supremes intervene, which is very unlikely.

Couldn't the judge have them arrested for contempt of court if they don't follow the order?

They could try I suppose, but do you think Trump would allow Elon or any of his flunkies to be arrested? I suspect that many judges will be reluctant to force the issue just for that reason. Trump is a classic bully in many ways, and unfortunately he's been given carte blanche to bully whomever he wants, with little possibility for the moment of any retaliation.

I find it odd, those that wanted see Trump’s tax returns, don't want to see where their tax dollars are going. Those that are screaming the loudest about uncovering the fraud have the most to hide.

Bet you didn’t know every dime of federal spending has been disclosed on the internet since the GWB administration.

USAspending.gov

www.usaspending.gov www.usaspending.gov

Did you know that?

Musk.

He hates sharing the spotlight and he hates people calling Musk co-president.

The rest are all below him.

When the shit from all of this starts to hit the fan and there finally is a public uprising - and there will be at some point - then Musk will make a very convenient fall guy and scapegoat for Trump and the authors of Project 2025. He's famous and prominent enough so that everyone knows who he is, and so now he's doing much of their dirty work for them, and later they can blame everything on him while still trying to keep most of his "reforms" in place.

The most dangerous place in the world is often the inner circle of a dictator.

I fully expect musk to eventually (if it’s not already happening) fund his own mercenary security force.

Agreed, but I don't think that will save him if Trump & Company decides to blame him for the inevitable problems and suffering caused by what they are all doing. Somebody will be sacrificed, and Musk would be the perfect scapegoat. And for all of his presumed intelligence, I wonder if he even realizes this.

Well, it makes sense, because as this board proves, internet trolling constitutes a great deal of Trumpism.

Is there anything to it OTHER than trolling? Troll the libs. Troll the gays. Troll the trans people. Troll our allies. Troll the educated. Troll government workers. There’s certainly nothing productive they’re trying to do.
 
Most of the Trumpers in these red states won't care, at least initially, and they'll probably celebrate the cuts. Why? Because most of these institutions are likely located in thriving college towns and large blue-voting areas in these red states that are prospering while their rural counties are dying out, economically and demographically. So watching, say, big cuts at UK or Ole Miss or Nebraska won't bother these people unless their favorite college sports teams take a hit, which is unlikely. Seeing all of those upper-middle-class urbanites and college town professional class types suffer will bring them great joy. And by the time they're adversely affected by these or other cuts down the line it will be too late.
