Absolutely correct! After this there is no other option outside revolution. We americans have to shake off the Russian "and then it got worse" mentality and start fighting.
First step is general strike. If that fails we have no choices but submission or revolution.
We have to general strike now!
Free impeach absolutist
GOP is going to impeach and replace judges across the board, calling it now.
They don't have that much of a majority. They can impeach but there's enough Democrats in the Senate to block it.
Judge disagrees with my illegal actions?
Just call for an impeachment
Welcome to 2025
Musk’s latest judicial meltdown proves he’s allergic to consequences. When the courts don’t bow to his tantrums, he screams “impeachment” like a toddler demanding a new toy chest. Newsflash, Elon: judges aren’t your code monkeys.
His “free speech absolutist” shtick crumbles faster than a Dogecoin rug pull. Now he’s just another billionaire brat trying to bully the legal system because it dared to… checks notes… enforce laws. Meanwhile, his fanboys spin conspiracy theories while European regulators laugh into their actual rulebooks.
Democracy’s a dumpster fire? Absolutely. But watching Musk speedrun institutional collapse for clout? Priceless.
Democracy’s a dumpster fire? Absolutely. But watching Musk speedrun institutional collapse for clout? Priceless. couldn't have said it better myself.
Majority of the US calls for musk to be jailed, trialed for treason and to never see the light of day again. Deal with that first before musks useless claims
jailed
Not the word I've been using.
The punishment for treason is death, the GOP supports the death penalty so let's use it
Honestly if I thought we could keep him in jail, that would be my preference. I couldn't imagine how miserable he would be... If you take Ketamine everyday do you get withdrawals if you stop?

Majority? Where did you get that from?
Musk, who called it "absolutely insane," saying it prevents him from exposing alleged fraud in the federal government.
that's what the inspectors general do, or rather did before they were axed.
I'm curious why nobody in authority or the media has publicly questioned how he was single-handedly able to uncover so much fraud in $5+ trillion worth of transactions with zero prior experience or knowledge of these systems all in a week's worth of time. He's so obviously full of shit here.
It's easy when your definitions of "fraud" is "anything I don't personally like".
Great video, but long. Here's a clip of the boy who thinks we are stupid and the MSM backing him up by omitting a vital detail.
"I said no bits!"
Yeah, but those guys use facts and figures and stuff. This way, Elon can manipulate anything he wants to do whatever they want. Much easier way to allow a fascist takeover.
This.
He's not against fraud. He wants to pick the winners and losers. That's how kleptocracies work.
The fraud is in plain sight
There's likely no way to say the DB they obtained is deleted without a copy. They should behave like it is stolen and can't be deleted, there's no way to gracefully walk back once it's obtained, and any known further leak should be linked to that if not proven otherwise.
Ya, it's really hard to prove something like this in any situation.
You do the best you can to enforce it, but when you inevitably miss a hidden copy, at least if it gets exposed in the future you have them on violating a court order.
If that means anything anymore anyway.
More proof that Trump and Musk are co-tyrants by definition, the only checks and balances they care about are their bank ledgers, and they see the US Constitution as a speed bump.
Quick reality check, what would happen to any of us if we said shit to a judge?
Something something contempt of court
We wouldn't be able to post about it later.
Outside of a court room ? Most likely nothing at all.
He's like the worlds weakest bully. "How dare you say that to me!? Somebody punch this guy for me."
He doesn't know how to do anything besides buying things.
I dunno, he seems to know how to do drugs fairly well.
Hitler also went after lawyers and the courts. In April 1933, Hitler passed one of the earliest antisemitic laws, purging Jewish and also Socialist judges, lawyers, and other court officers from their professions.

I find that in life you can measure how much of a good idea something is for everyone else by how loud the trust fund baby in the group is screeching. The louder the better.
This administration is "Oops! All trust fund babies"

Have we reached the point where we don't even bother to make up a fake crime or improper behavior the official is supposed to have committed that justifies their impeachment?
He should just be impeached because he ruled against Musk doing what he wants? I guess I appreciate the honesty.
Lock Musk up.
Nazi Musk, lock him up.
Of course he does. Let's see where this gets him. I guess the chances for impeachment are more than slim.
