Thank you to all who have injected a little humor in this thread. It feels good to find a light-hearted moment in the midst of so much madness. But let's say we did the LOTR marathon twice in a row, just to make sure we've got enough time for whatever is needed.
Jay can you address what HCR wrote last night? My comment is below the quote.
“Stunningly, Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced today that the U.S. has made a deal with El Salvador to send deportees of any nationality—including U.S. citizens, which would be wildly unconstitutional—for imprisonment in that nation’s 40,000-person Terrorism Confinement Center, for a fee that would pay for El Salvador’s prison system.”
This is frightening. You know once you go there you will never get out. So trump sends an American citizen there and they will never be seen again. Thanks to the newest law, the Laken Riley Act, which eliminates due process, those detained but not yet convicted, can be deported. Imagine a US Citizen being accused wrongly by someone for shoplifting being sent to El Salvador prison, which is being paid for by a fee from the United States. You will never see them again. Next they will be sending citizens who speak out against trump or president Musk.
Thanks Fetterman for voting for this. Maybe you could personally go to the prison to check it out. Maybe stay for a while and then come back and tell us all how much you enjoyed your time there.
The dems should be doing articles of impeachment every time the orange blob does something illegal illegally and against the constitution.
Yes, I realize that they don’t have e the votes, but
1) the way to get to bullies is to stand up to them
2) if they file articles of impeachment each time there is an infraction, and they are doozy of infractions, the public would be made more aware.
The democrats themselves would be “doing” something
3) it really gets to the orange blob to be questioned and pestered, especially when he know he is wrong.
Fight loud ! Fight Strong!

Fucking Felon of the united states
If musk is “official” for 120 days
Who gave the ok?
Not a presidential duty
Who vetted him?
Who made his department legal?
Ask for his personal information, part of the law
Who gave him the rights to my information?
Have him appear before committees
Go after the hackers he hired, have them arrested for being traitors

Jail musk
Deport musk
He is here illegally and a traitor
Confiscate his companies
Take away his security clearance
Take away his contracts with the UsA government.
Even if you can’t do these things.
Do them
You can file stuff
May not have enough votes, but make some noise
Stir the pot
People, write all of your representatives and any politician that might actually do these actions.
They all took an oath to defend the United States.
Keep after them until someone shows the guts and backbones!
I have all MAGAs representing me. I write, email, call
The orange blob does not have a mandate
F-Elon ia needs to go!
Be loud!!!!!
Also call write the White House. Might seem like a waste (probably is), however, keep on voicing your opinion!!!
Trump isn't responding to the stock market plunging and rising on his actions, he's *cashing in on it*. Canadian and Mexican tariffs are just a side show performance for his MAGA followers, to convince him he is doing something and sticking it to our neighbors.
He's shaking that tariff tambourine in one hand with an eye on the market--trust me, he and his oligarch buddies are doing a ton of insider trading--and meanwhile doing something far, far worse under the covers with Musk and his boys, installing back door into our Treasury systems so he can turn on and halt payments remotely at will from the White House, while the reporters run over to where the most noise is being made.
Win win win. The real plundering will begin shortly. Brace yourselves.
Canada and Mexico were both really smart. If they had moved additional troops and equipment to the border because they're worried about their sketchy neighbor, it would have raised alarm and might have even been considered an aggressive move. Now, they have Trump's permission to do so.
His little stunt with the tarrifs over the weekend cost me 10k out of my 401k. I may recoup it. I may not. If his last presidency is a metric then I will lose 15k more before the end of the year. Am I winning yet? 😡
I'm wondering if these added troops by our neighboring allies is mainly to keep Americans in America. I don't think they want us, we are the meth lab next door.
I'm now worried about the muskrats in the payment system and trump wanting to take over Gaza because that certainly won't become an epic shit show that will eat up money and American lives. 🙄. His followers say he gets us out of wars, but trying to take over Gaza to make his next timeshare resort is not going to be a peaceful endeavor.
IMHO, Trump is only a figurehead, and it's Musk and the Heritage people we really need to be worried about. Trump is all bluff and bluster, easily manipulated, while Musk and the Heritage Cabinet appointees are doing some truly serious damage. What can be done about that?
We can be thankful for these wins. But how do they stand up to the destruction that musk is wreaking on our Treasury Department, usurping the power of the purse embedded in our constitution, and single-handedly attempting to shut down entire congressionally authorized agencies. The coup is on. In the long run, I don't know how much value the wins in these "skirmishes" represent if our democracy falls.
I'm catching on. There's a huge amount of Performative Nonsense being slung about like apes throwing feces to force a reaction. If you wait it out a couple days, you see a pattern playing out over and over -- the zookeepers arrive, halt the illegalities, and start cleaning up. So I can note the atrocities, and then take deep calming breaths until I see the push back. I am convinced now that there is a significant and active and multi-tiered resistance. I'm thinking that, rather than raging because I can't immediately see the restraining action, I am better served by thanking everyone for doing their job and asking what help they need from me. This administration is like food poisoning -- wreaking unrelenting havoc until we vomit them out. Here's hoping conservatives get sick enough to join us at the porcelain throne.
In my view, T is the distraction. Musk and his crew are actually doing the harm.

Now the end seems to be sealed. Their recent decisions make us uneasy about the next four years.

I might be wrong but doesn’t a massive stock market movement like that give those in the know the ability to make big money with no risk?
Is the SEC still functional or has the burning of the IGs hampered their efforts?
His little stunt with the tarrifs over the weekend cost me 10k out of my 401k. I may recoup it. I may not. If his last presidency is a metric then I will lose 15k more before the end of the year. Am I winning yet? 😡
This is a concise summary of Trump's tendencies which are well known at this point. Trump isn't the problem now, Musk is.
I'm wondering if these added troops by our neighboring allies is mainly to keep Americans in America. I don't think they want us, we are the meth lab next door.

It was a smokescreen to hide all the insider trading when all his friends shorted the dollar on Friday and made a killing on Monday.

Nice. Thanks, Jay.
