THIS IS A COUP

Trump has granted Musk access to U.S. government computer systems. Once inside, they grant Trump control over critical information and the ability to start or stop all government payments.

THIS IS A COUP

This scenario is real and is happening. These actions constitute a coup. Granting private individuals, especially those loyal to Trump, rather than the government, access to federal computer systems to control critical information and financial operations bypassing legal and constitutional processes is a modern day coup. These actions undermine democratic governance, and give unchecked power to unelected individuals.

THIS IS A COUP

A coup involves the illegal or forceful seizure of power, often bypassing established legal frameworks. This is exactly what we are seeing.

THIS IS A COUP

Trump and Musk are overrideling governmental controls and centralizing power outside of constitutional authority. Therefore, these actions fit the definition of a coup in our digital age. What is happening, Musk and Trump taking control over U.S. government systems, is as powerful as taking control over military forces.

Totally agree -- a coup indeed. Why they are not both being arrested for treason is beyond me ... but then, Trump has already installed his cronies in all the right positions and the Republicans are too busy grovelling in front of him to stand up and protect the US --- doesn't look good.

Also, I do wonder what Musk is selling to China and Russia - he is pretty chummy with Putin, and I am sure that both Russia and China would be more than willing to give "a little something" for all the info he now has access to ...... or perhaps provide a way for them to "access" the system? Musk has no loyalty to anyone but himself ..... well, maybe to the neo-Nazis, but that's a subject for another post .......

Subpoena him? Arrest his ass!!! Set the bail at $550T see if he’s got that or freeze all his assets.

And then revoke his citizenship, as he never should have been granted it, since he overstayed his visa, and then deport his sorry ass back to SA.

Arrest him. There are more than enough actions to justify his arrest and only release him to another country. Arrest and deport. El Salvador is nice anytime of the year, for hardened criminals like Leon fElon. Stop fucking around as he steals massive amounts of our money and information

LOCK UP MUSK NOW!

Yes a Trump/Musk coup is in progress. Musk must be made to testify. He is fully out of control, without any consequence for his actions.

As usual, Republicans are just fine with all the illegal activity. They think that they are safe, being suck up friends of DJT, but dictator autocrats go after most everyone at some point.

Ro Khanna didn't show up. Another asshole Democrat. Now he's demanding a second vote. Good luck with that. To hell with the Democratic Party.

It’s not that Khanna didn’t show up. The vote was called without notice and he didn’t get there on time. Here is the real story:

After order was restored in the House Oversight Committee following Democrats attempting to subpoena Elon Musk to testify, the motion failed 19-20 along party lines, with California Rep. Ro Khanna, a Democrat, abstaining.

"I would have voted yes," Khanna explained after the vote. "They called a procedural vote without notice & I like 8 others didn’t make it there on time. Musk’s attacks on our institutions are unconstitutional. He should be subpoenaed & answer to our committee. They should call the vote again with notice."

Musk responded, telling Khanna, "Don't be a d---."

Khanna then slammed Musk for government overreach and the proposal to eliminate the Department of Education.

"Elon we have known each other a long time," he posted. "You can't stop payments that Congress has authorized and appropriated. Make recommendations to Congress, but don't stop payments. That's Article I. Also, let's debate why we need the DOE."

Thank you very much for the clarification. I doubt though that there will be a second vote.

Comer’s a jerk and won’t allow it. I detest him!

Comer is a pig and a mouthbreathing, knuckledragging yokel. Detestation is too mild a term.

Hahaha! I totally agree. Thanks for the humor 😆

Democrats are paid to fail the American people by their corporate donors and the two party system

Right now we are stuck with what Rumsfeld said about Widdle Georgie's Invasion of Poland: You go to war wth the Army you have, not the Army you want.

Rather than sit here with your yap open, yapping uselessly and to the point of trying to make others as ready to surrender as you are, why not get to work in your local community and find a good person to run for office and become one of the Good Democrats?

BULL SHIT. TRUMP GET/STEALS MONEY FROM AMERICANS, SO WHAT IS YOUR POINT??

Expand full comment

They called an early vote and the subpoena failed. Not all members were present. Needs to be done again, when all committee members are present.

You need to get amuse out of the building asap. He's doing something with the computers just like he did during the election.

Why hasn’t Musk been arrested yet?

Expand full comment

It's about darn time! There should be some Republicans who cross the aisle to defend the Amercan people and who wish to maintain the equal authority they have to Trump

Musk is the best target and makes a perfect attack point to get at the clown show and gum up the works. He's a weir, foreign accented plutocrat who caNt control himself. Pick him off will damage them.
