One thing is for sure, is that the stock market is going to tank something fierce. The repercussions will be awful…trump, Musk and their functionaries own whatever comes next which will be something they will not be able to control…
what worries me is that the data base clearly has the names and locations of those in the Witness Protection Program--the government DOES pay them. such a little goodies for the kids to sell to The Mob.
As someone posted elsewhere, Elon has now climbed on the tiger - he and his minions have violated so many federal and state laws against hacking., unauthorized access to classified information, etc., that all of them are now liable for long federal and state prison sentences..... And if Elon goes down for this stuff, Tesla and Space-X are toast, to be picked up by someone who's not in Club Fed..... A whole bunch of billionaires have now been tied to this obvious coup, and if there is a Dog, the wrath of a delivered people will be visited on them as well.....
Alec, the bible is not a requirement; that is why the oath says "swear or affirm". It was both a tasteless gesture and a logistical "oops" as (per my USMC friend who actually watched the debacle) as Melinia arrived late with the Bible. BUT...she was there, it was there, and he didn't use it. Giant FU, in my opinion.
WTAF, actually, yes we are. While our systems are being destroyed, we are looking to the system to save us; A later Reader suggests tapping into Anonymous; they are used to countermeasures. I think that's an excellent idea.
Hi Ally. I am curious to know if Melanie has a stand in. She and p4547 both have had work done on their faces but she looks so different in every picture.
Whoever is casting doubt on the organizers of the 50 state protest on Feb 5th may be provocateurs themselves attempting to stop the protest. This is not to say Rebecca Solnit is wrong, she’s whip smart and trustworthy, but agitprop may be at work here.
When I downloaded Project 2025 and actually read some of the sections all I could think of were dystopia novels and films. And now we're living in the actual screenplay! Thanks for sharing the Truscott piece. I have been thinking more along the lines of muck being an agent of putin, cpac, Hillsdale College, and heritage all in league, which I think they are, but my imagination has not been expansive enough. Could be going out on the streets by the thousands everywhere is what is and will be required. A dark time and not just here.
Our parents and grandparents were made of sterner stuff, Tom.
Most of us will get through it in the short term, but what a flipping mess is being left for our younger generations. We have failed as custodians of democracy because it seems no shots had to be fired before we ceded it all to a handful of rich white guys and one orange one.

Who says that they will be held accountable? I don’t see it. 60 Minutes had a cretin on praising the tariff crap.
That was part of a capitulation to 4547 because he's suing 60 Minutes.
The Bulwark about what the markets may show us today about what lies ahead…

Thank You. Sharing.
Thanks Tom, my market investment is miniscule so I really don't give a damn, BUT I'd sure do a happy dance if Musk's losses are enough to hurt
Donald Trump refused to place his hand on the Bible when he didn’t take the oath of office. He is not the President.

You’re right, I am grasping at straws, but aren’t we all? WTF

We’ve all got to die of something. Keep in touch with the living and believe our spirits are real.
Thanks again, Bro

This is truly terrifying as if a third rate dystopian movie has become our reality—- 😰😱🤬
Thank you, Bro.

If this isn’t treason, what is? A bunch of Musk’s bro-hackers pillaging the nation’s treasury? Where are our Democratic leaders?
Thanks for a succinct summary of our national suicide.
OMFG. 😱
