You need to be hopelessly naive to think Musk or Trump cares about regular American people. Why seeking cuts? Mainly to fund tax cuts for billionaires and even fatter contracts for Musk's projects.

Anyone that goes to Twitter believing they're getting factual information there is beyond the pale by definition.

I've heard that the quote was actually from a MOVIE about Napoleon and that he never said it. But the idea is the same. Trump is ruling as a God King.

Yep. It's already started and dramatically among Gen Z. Too bad they weren't paying attention BEFORE the election. Now it's too late. Massive damage has already been done. Some it will be irreversible. Donald Trump's Gen Z Popularity Plunges - Newsweek

Not very comforting. Musk and his big balls boy have all your data now. Nobody is checking them. What could possibly go wrong?

He's ruling as a God King. He's staged a self adminstrative coup with Musk and the Project 2025 fascists doing most of the work. American democracy is over. It's now a post constitutional oligarchy. It happened much quicker than most people imagined is possible, but it has happened. Is it too late for Americans to reclaim their democracy? There is no way of knowing yet but it's clear to me it would take massive national street actions at a minimum.

It will be irrelevant. Vance and his puppet master Theil believe we live in a post constitutional age anyway.

It's the maga double standard and they are totally blind to it. Pathetic really.

My theory is that Trump wants to be in Putin's May Day parade in Moscow. Trump lives for that kind of stuff. If he goes, I hope he stays there.

That was later adjusted to 100 days. Since then adjusted to six months. More like six years maybe at this point.

My current thinking is that like all empires the American empire is in inevitable decline now under any leader. But Trump is rapidly accelerating that. This will cause a lot of unnecessary suffering for both Americans and many global people as well. Perhaps a death wish?

You're wrong. That would have left the democrats in an even worse divided position. The fault was with Biden for running at all.

So what if she was? It's not as if she's the Secretary of Defense?

Impossible to cover all the horrible things he's said and done.

Here he comes. Magas -- if it was George Soros who had access to all your most personal should be confidential data and he was allowed to copy it for personal profit (nobody is stopping him) and/or alter it to cut expenses without oversight to pay to increase his fortune -- would that bother you? Would you be out in the streets for that? But somehow when it comes from a right wing billionaire, it's magically OK. Top Social Security official exits after clash with Musk’s DOGE over data

I posted the link. If you don't know, that's what the forum does with many links now. It's up to you to find the content in such cases. Do not blame me for the weird mechanics of the forum!

Read the article.

Third rail of American politics? Musk eats third rails for breakfast. You've heard his lies. This article explains what's actually going on. Also to note he's closing physical Social Security offices. For expats needing to contact Social Security by phone, there are current reports of people being on hold for 8 hours. That's BEFORE Musk gets his corrupt billionaire hands on staffing. I realize many Magas love their social security too. What's it going to take for Magas to wake up to what's going on -- an administrative coup. An authoritarian hostile takeover. Will Magas even change their tune when leopards eat their faces?

Huh? Donald Trump Sucks Up to Vladimir Putin Direct From the White House

Do you think she would threaten to annex Canada? Sell out Ukraine and suck up to Putin? Compromise the personal data of all Americans without oversight? The bullet is in office.

A heartbeat from the US presidency and the US president is a total wreck. Bought and groomed by oligarch with an explicit anti-democracy pro authoritarian ideology. People paying attention knew what we were getting. Not enough people were.

The world is objectively heading towards more authoritarian rule. That's a fact

But you're wrong. He's doing massive damage right now. It will take years for the courts to deal with that and he won't always lose because so much maga on SCOTUS. So it will be too late to reverse by then.

Like Trump at his age is going to ever get magically better.
