"It continued:

"I understand the feasibility concerns as well as the emotional toll this will take on those impacted as well as the team assisting. We've been asked to staff a 24/7 Coordination Support Team in the Ops Center's Taskforce space beginning immediately."

"The plan to recall overseas staff was described to NPR by current and former federal government officials who were not authorized to speak publicly and feared retribution.

The order is the latest move made by the Trump administration in the last week to try to dismantle USAID."

He's trying to make this a fait accompli before the lawsuits reach the Courts.

And Herr Musk is finding ways to reroute money that helped solidify our role as a world leader... into his bank account. Those several wives and dozen children are NOT cheap!

It's Genius! really, shipping America's immigrants off to Gaza to walk barefoot over the bomb fields... two birds with one stone stuff.

Confucius say, "Real knowledge is to know the extent of one's ignorance".

1Nut say, "What?".

"It Takes All of Us"

To fund Herr Musk's pet projects, including Mars trips and American Fascism, from the US Treasury.

The NFL has all their Corporate sponsorships to think of, after all.

"Activist judges must be removed from the bench or there is no justice[.]"

Courts can say what they want to to Trump, but he has the, "let them enforce it!" attitude attributed to Andrew Jackson.

He thinks that as long as he is CinC, he will have the last word in American Government.

Well, if Herr Musk lets him.

On topic, Trump like the King of Coup; he was doing it when he lost to Biden, and he's doing it for the Oligarchs now.

He's their, 'good boy' doggy. He will take the lawsuits against him and them to HIS Supreme Court, and we'll see just how loyal HIS own doggy John Roberts is.

I had never heard of this sect that worships an Asian guy as the returned Christ... because he's, like, "from the East".

But I don't think that phrase means what they think it means:

- the COG?

OK, RLR... you made me look that up, you know that don't you ? &^)

btw, M8... hope you are going to be around to comment on the literally dozens of lawsuits that being filed due to his EOs. Guess we'll see if Roberts has any limits to his loyalty.

= How stupid and/or gullible

Enough to elect Trump in the first place... and reticent to admit it. So we're screwed.

He's attacked our 3 top trading partners, 2 of them for no real reasons. And the other one is not going away anytime soon.

Dems are usually nice... and I always heard that, 'nice guys finish last'. (attributed to Leo Durocher)

Of course, it's not always true, though it is for Trump and anyone around him.

With Trump, the more evil and or stupid you are... like if you were comparable to his own reputation as Epstein's Wingman or something like that... the further and faster you will get ahead.

Had Obama been able to run... Trump would have lost and would be in Prison after a Jury of his Peers put him there.

Ray was industrious, though. He basically re-wrote the entire bible. And I think he ate and drank gold, lol.

Now I'm waxing nostalgic... "Nulli, Nulli... wherefore art thou, Nulli?"

In Paradise, I know... whether he likes it or not! He prolly* started complaining as soon as he got there.

* anyone ever hear from the Tater of Doom?

"The collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 left state-owned industries open to privatization. Hoffman says a few men captured companies dealing in natural resources.

"Timber, diamonds, oil, you name it," Hoffman said. He added that the entrepreneurs were "these young hustlers, kids who had not been part of the Communist Party. And seven of them became prominent businessmen by glomming on to these big valuable assets."

"Putin's seemingly populist moves consolidated his own power.

Oligarchs who supported independent media were the first to go. The few who remained "were cowed into staying out of Putin's way.

Furthermore, as time went by, Putin didn't change the system. What he did was he installed his own people as oligarchs. He changed the guy sitting in this chairs, but he didn't change the chairs."

More at the link.... it's not a long article, but it's real history about Trump's mentor.

"F him up, F him up!"

(I hate Nazis!)

Don-old only Pardons the Best People!

Yeah, this is what happens when the Corporate Oligarchs are in charge; Corporate Prisons and Corporate Schools. And that's just for starters.

Look for the MacDonald's Yellowstone Park, Musk Libraries, and the Theil Dam (formerly the Hoover Dam). Anything that now belongs to the People is For Sale to the highest bidder in the Musk/Trump 4th Reich.

- Didn't happen.

Only because you Cult Leader ran away, postponing his stupid threats.

1Nut is all in on Herr Musk and Peter Theil running the country to favor themselves and other Oligarchs. Because he expects to be one himself any day now....ahhahaha!

Ray... of course. Thanks.

- in the back of their brain

Assuming a brain in his case may be way overgenerous.

Prolly something more like the DR hamster wheel.

- a serious goldbug

Zatoichi, right? Or was it Aflacababble (SP)

Makes sense.... the less education one has, the more one votes Republican.

Raskin: "Elon Musk, you may have illegally seized power over the financial payments systems ... "

I'm just glad that 1Nut has at least one hobby that doesn't involve boa feathers and leather straps!
