The dems, especially those in the senate, like to claim that they're doing all that they can to stop Trump/Musk. They are putting on a show but that's all their actions amount to. So far, only one dem, Brian Schatz, has said that he will pull a Tuberville and hold up some of Trump's State Department nominees. Trump has recently decapitated the military leadership of the Pentagon and will have to nominate replacements. More democrat(s) need to step up and pull a Tuberville and prevent those nominations from moving forward.

They'll take out their anger and frustrations on their elected members of Congress

As well they should. As Trump/Musk trash the place, the politicians that are supposed to represent the people sit idly by while it happens. They might complain in private but their constituents don't know that. Furthermore, until and unless they go public, Trump doesn't give a s...

Economist: Musk is About to Cause a 'Deep, Deep Recession'

All by design. Cause chaos and be the only person with the tools to fix it. That way you can force the citizenry to give you what you want so that it can be fixed. It's called EXTORTION!

Military Families Rocked By Trump's Government Cuts

Hey military families! How do you like me now?

Senate Democrats have the power to block federal contracts to Tesla and SpaceX. It's the path to pushing Musk out of politics.

They should do it! Just get those astronauts home from the ISS first.

Examples of tolled interstates:

Vance argued that the war in Ukraine would have never started if President Donald Trump were in office, echoing a sentiment frequently repeated by the president

And people thought that Pence had his head up Trump's butt when he mimicked Trump's movements. Vance has set a new definition of kissing ass.

Alright farmers, WHAT'S YOUR NEXT MOVE?

With Trump as POTUS, Putin could not have orchestrated a more thorough take down of the US. Unlike Nero who fiddled while Rome burned, history will record that republicans sat on their thumbs.

All of the approvals, federal, state and municipal, were obtained prior to implementation of congestion pricing. The fact that the feds want to now revoke approval after implementation is a petty, transparent move by the Trump administration. Unless a court tells them to dismantle congestion pricing, it should stay in place.

Whether the Trump administration wins or loses, it will retaliate in some way. NY and other blue state governors and big city mayors need to organize and get ready for an onslaught of adverse actions by the feds.

Zelensky says Trump Lives in 'Disinformation Space'

It has to be pointed out that Trump is not some hapless victim whose advisors are feeding disinformation. Trump is the SOURCE of the disinformation. It is important for the media and other people to stop insinuating that if only Trump got the facts straight, he would make better decisions. Chaos, of his own making, is Trump's objective and what he thrives on.

Gotta keep our extra judicial vigilantes (aka militia) out of prison.

Trump Seeks Control of Independent Agencies

As ominous as this and his other authoritarian moves area, the most ominous are the rumored removable of all of the military leadership: the generals and admirals.

Trump jokingly speaks about a third term but he is dead serious. He throws out these bombshells to see what type of pushback he gets. If the pushback is tepid, he interprets that as a green light.

Congress grants POTUS the right to adjourn Congress. This power has never been exercised. Trump will be the first to do so if Congress tries to hold him accountable for any impeachable offense.

Nowrasteh said when someone turns 100, the government manually checks to make sure they are still alive and not receiving extra benefits.

I don't know if SS does it for every beneficiary turning turning 100 but they certainly did it after my mother turned 100.

Trump negotiating for peace in Ukraine without Ukrainian and NATO participation indicates he listens to Putin more than any of our allies

This meeting was NOT about the Russian/Ukraine war. That was just a cover. The real purpose of the meeting was to devise a process to lift the sanctions off Russia. Putin will say what he is willing to do, Trump will say that is fair and the sanctions will be lifted irrespective of what Ukraine wants.

The question that I am waiting to hear some reporter ask Trump is "why should Ukraine accept any security guarantee issued by the US and/or Russia because they haven't upheld the previous security guarantee when Ukraine gave up nuclear weapons"?

Georgia Republicans Urge Trump to Reconsider Helene Aid Denial

Yeah! Don't cut our aid. Cut the aid to those people in blue states!

Don't matter. Horrible people will be hired as replacements.

Sure, horrible people will be hired but will they be good attorneys? Will they be able to win tough cases against experienced judges? With experienced attorneys leaving, they will probably be joining or starting law firms that will represent clients that have some beef against the government. There aren't enough Aileen Cannons to hear the flood of cases hitting and likely to hit the DOJ; a DOJ increasingly likely to be staffed with inexperienced, "horrible" attorneys.

The easiest and safest thing is to simply close the park.

Exactly. Tax payers need to know how their money is being spent! In this case, not spent.

Hey Mitch: STFU! You had an opportunity to do something during Trump's first term and didn't. No one gives a damn about your whining now.

Much has been said that the role of the US in NATO is to protect Western Europe from Russia. IMO, I think the role of the US is to protect Europe from itself! Western history is replete with examples of European countries fighting each other. It was only the intervention by the US that brought that to a halt; a halt that has lasted @ 80 years. If history is any guide, it is more likely that Europeans will end up fighting each other that it is that they will protect each other. It was only the stabilizing influence of the US that is responsible for the "relative" peace in Europe.

It is not a coup until and unless he fails to abide by a SCOTUS judgement. If that happens, the military will have a decision to make. Do they act then or do they wait until he issues an unlawful order. Pete Hegseth, as SOD, will have little to no influence in their decision.

The first thing that would likely happen is that Democrats and some Republicans would call for his impeachment and eventual conviction. At this point, Trump's militia would start acting up, there would be protests in the streets and Trump would declare martial law to quell the disturbances. It won't be until Trump issues what the military considers to be an unlawful order that they would take action. If he did issue such an order, what action(s) could the military take? 1) The general(s) could resign rather than follow the order(s); 2) They could refuse to obey an unlawful order(s) and NOT resign; 3) They could order his arrest and have him court martialed. If generals resign in sufficient numbers, it's going to be obvious to the general(s) next in line that something bold (i.e. arrest and court martial) has to take place.

The generals know that they would be court martialed if they resign and Trump stays in office. It is for that reason that I don't think that many would resign. I think they would act to have him court martialed rather than wait to them to be court martialed. The real question is what would the chain of command and soldiers do? Do they follow their CIC or do they follow their chain of command? Hmm...

There is no beef with South Africa. He's recruiting people that know apartheid and are beholden to him personally; maybe even willing to act extra judicially? Similarly, the Secret Service is airing a recruitment ad during the Super Bowl. I wonder how many J6 insurrectionists will apply and be accepted? Knowing Trump, he's up to no good.

Break something with these government systems and it's going to take more than a Ctrl-Alt-Delete to recover. These Musk-rats may be tech savy but are they OLD tech savy? Also, there is NO chance that they understand the interdependencies with related systems. They will need a lot of help from current employees or else they will screw things up big time.
