Repub Senators Fine Handing Their Power to Elon Musk

Musk's actions may be unconstitutional but "nobody should bellyache about that," Sen. Thom Tillis said.

Comments

This Won't End Well.

Acknowledging that it's unconstitutional but that nobody should "bellyache" about it is not just stupid and Cowardly it's basically making the role of Congress a rubber stamp for the Executive.

The SCOTUS will make the Power Grabs all LEGAL. The Courts are the last bastion of real independence but Trump has corrupted the SCOTUS so eventually his agenda will become settled law.

Authoritarian Government is the use of the Legislative branch to give top down control an illusion of general consensus. This is the most dangerous period in American History in my opinion.

Trump will capture the other two branches of government and start a World War.

At a Minimum there will be regional Wars in Iran and possibly Latin America.

Israel is another huge Tripwire for War. They will Connive with the US to Dominate the entire ME. Of course that will cause Wars itself.

I see multiple flashpoints for violence in the coming year or two.

Domestic policy will be to create Fear of Government throughout the country. Gitmo will be the American Buchenwald. A place for anyone who resists. Outside of the protection of the Bill of Rights.

Zed seemed Extreme in the past. No longer. He was correct in almost every detail about the incredible danger Trump is to everything America should be.

Interesting Times. God help US.

Musk was appointed by the POTUS

he has the full authorization of the POTUS>...the sole elected representative of the people as a whole.

the potus campaigned on it and he won in both EC and pop vote....

He was given the authority by the president to uncover unaccounted funds.

he can't fire or hire or power to shut anything down.

HE DOES have power to go through every financial record INCLUDING THE ONES THAT HAVE BEEN HIDDEN FROM THE PUBLIC.

so suck it....

Trump's Executive Orders are in many cases illegal; they effect areas that are the perview of Congress and or the Courts, not the Executive.

btw... when did you first become infatuated with Nazi Oligarchs?

Musk does not have the authority to be doing what he is doing. Congress didn't give him that authority. Civics 101. Just sayin

Because it's 'throwing the baby out with the bathwater', you insufferable dope!

If there's problems, we can address them individually, not destroy the mechanisms already in place.

Nobody is claiming EOs are illegal in and of themselves, dips^*+.

#20 | Posted by jpw at 2025-02-05 02:25 PM

Biden wasn't usurping powers reserved for the Congress and the Courts as DJT is doing.

But hey, Shrimpbrains has that name for a reason.

#21 | Posted by Corky at 2025-02-05 02:32 PM

holy gessush....help me please.

all musk is doing or can do is go through the books and show the country just what BS democrats principally have

done with tax payer money...

he can't fire or do anything about it except make it public and LOTS of the money is hidden.

that's where the engineers are writing code to uncover frauuent gvt spending.

WTF are you worried about unless you support the fraud....or are in on it ?

--if you're opposed to that then you're in favor of crooked political lying trash....

so why would you go nuts about it ?

MAYBE it was the DEI MUSICAL ??? ahahahahha

#22 | Posted by shrimptacodan at 2025-02-05 02:33 PM

CUBA.....74 million in "democracy promotion" VANISHED without oversight.

and you people don't give a s--t...

--20 million FKN DOLLARS to Iraq for an Iraqi version of seseme street to GROOM children.

---and the most ILLEGAL act of all....27 MILLION to fund left wing persecutions of political opponents here and around the globe.

so much for that "no one's above the law" BS from you fck liars..

#23 | Posted by shrimptacodan at 2025-02-05 02:35 PM
