We have been sold out to our adversaries, and the enemies of democracy everywhere.

Every GOP Senator who failed to convict Trump for impeachable offenses when they had the chance is complicit, as is every individual who failed to vote for Vice President Harris when they had the chance.

We cannot undo this simply by reminding them of their culpability, but we need to remind them every day for the rest of their lives, and ours.

Mitch McConnell who holds Prime Responsibility for DJT evading Accountabilty thru 2-Impeachments, was Wheeled out of the Capital Yesterday... Let us not forget Merrick Garland's Stonewalling of DJT's Criminal Prosecutions... John Cleese once said that Americans don't elect Presidents, we elect Emperors...

How did we get here? It is Mitch McConnell who said Trump would get over his loss and then failed to rally the GOP against the insurrection to convict Trump when Trump obviously did not get over it. Merrick Garland paid too much attention to not being political and then fell into trap of Trump's delay tactics. He pursued the case as a typical RICO case which generally takes years instead as an urgent existential threat to our country. He was also hampered by highly partisan and unconstitutional SCOTUS decisions. He was not aggressive enough in countering Judge Cannon's initial moves. Biden did an amazing job ushering bills through Congress and forming beneficial international ties, but he and the Democratic leadership failed to counteract the constant barage of GOP lies and emotional manipulation. And, here we are, with a President who has massively weakened our national defense, destroyed the rule of law, trashed our basic rights, eviscerated Congress, corrupted a portion of the courts, and blatantly violated the Constitution. So far.

Musk and his minions are feeding all their stolen government information into the Musk AI initiative to give it a unique perspective and training set not available to his competitors. It’s all just to continue his feelings of dominance to make up for his insecurities. Not sure the world can survive four years of this madness. It certainly is going to be unrecognizable. What scares me the most is that a generation of young people will come of age thinking that trumpism is normal and have no knowledge of what was once considered America.

Musk now has a treasure trove of potential blackmail and espionage material to do with as he pleases, along with his calls with Putin and his business ties to China. He even has data on Trump, himself. Our national security has gone from strong to a joke in just a few weeks. What Musk and Trump didn't compromise, Pam Bondi did, blocking enforcement of FARA and stopping investigations of foreign influence peddling and spying. Now, Tulsi Gabbard, RFK, Jr., and Cash Patel will most likely be given the freedom to trash our security as well, while we see our freedoms torn away. Our adversaries just have to sit back and wait as our country dismantles itself and devolves into an authoritarian playground while Trump turns our allies against us so they'll no longer share the intelligence we need to be safe.

We need to work on a plan to effectively and permanently quarantine hostile fascist Elon Musk and his henchmen away from our Government. This may require cancellation of Musk’s Government contracts and/or deportation(s).

Very Good Post Olga... The DNC/Democrats should be Prosecuted for Political MalPractice in the 2024 Election... There was a Filibuster last night on the Senate Floor to try to derail Russ Vought's OMB Appointment... Too Late, he was Confirmed... Project 2025 is a GO!!!... What ever Legal Action is taken will be Scuttled by Pam Bodi, SCOTUS, and whatever DJT Legal Minions... DJT will betray Ukraine, and Taiwan... Pray for Divine Intervention...

I've seen ex-KGB agents state Trump is a Russian asset.

I'm seriously wondering if Musk is too.

And a few others.

Time will tell, but it’s unlikely we’ll be able to see it!

Exactly what I've been saying. Everything he's done weakens us, even to the point of making us more susceptible to disease. He has done nothing for anybody, but himself, Musk, Putin, and Xi. Nothing. Oh, wait. He freed murderous thugs from prison. Other than that, nothing. BTW, there are no eggs at Costco where I live.

I knew Trump 2.0 was going to be really bad, but it's staggering that this is so fast and deep. Make me want to vomit out of fear and anxiety.

This is a domestic terrorist attack on the US by the people who are supposed to protect us. Whats happening is treason plan and simple. No one can claim that they are Americans and love this country if they voted for the traitor. Trump has laid the ground work for some tragic events in the near future. And Musk shouldn,t be in charge of a lemonade stand let alone all our sensitive financial info

That’s because Trump IS a Russian asset. Apparently, so is Musk. I mean, c’mon. Look at these schmucks. And I imagine Trump and Musk will be replacing those they fire with entirely capable moles.

Launch codes? We don’t need no stinking launch codes!

It seems as if Bondi was hired to work for the Kremlin, not us.

Your posts are sincerely appreciated.

The human condition has been compounded by the very technology that brought us of the Stone Age.

Einstein would be so disappointed, but not surprised.

Steven Hawkins, too.

It’s such a disappointment to have come so far, only to be shot down by ambition and a hunger for control!
