A sobering reminder of what can happen when an authoritarian regime gets out of control. The Syrians, like the Germans in the 1930s and the Chileans in the 1970s certainly thought "it can't happen here" ...

I lived in Brazil. They definitely see their share of corruption, but the fact that all citizens are required to vote, typically resolves it pretty quickly.

These fucking criminals must be stopped. This is absolutely absurd! My 82 year old mom isn't going to sit around and wait for her check to show up next month while her bills go unpaid. Would yours?
Howard Lutnick is a multi-billionaire, I would certainly hope that his 94 yo mother-in-law is not relying solely on Social Security otherwise Howard Lutnick would be one heartless SOB. Of course, if he thinks that no senior citizen is relying on Social Security then he's a brainless & heartless SOB.

LOL, I'll bet he never spent this much time with his own kids or grandkids. He sure is owned by Muskrat.

There's the truth. This is a global crime ring.
"In other countries, this would be called 'an authoritarian coup.' In America, mealy-mouthed officials call our transition into a mafia state 'deeply troubling' and do little to curb the damage."

We have definitely been hacked from within.
A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But a nation can not survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable and carries his banner openly.

Nothing in the print version, not a single headline ANYWHERE to be seen on the once relevant WaPo. I had to search several ways to find this recycled AP article. Democracy Dies in Darkness indeed. Actually, it was murdered in broad daylight by a cabal of billionaires. #protests

It's up to us now. Stop buying things you don't need; some exceptions: very ethical, pref. local, POC-owned, businesses. Dollars are power.

Many already have - spontaneously - and it takes just 3.5-5% of us. START NOW. www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJSe... & www.youtube.com/watch?v=o78l...

So disgusting. When do the guillotines come out?
I’m having great difficulty right now seeing how our political system doesn’t devolve into violence.

This coup by the tech overlords, not just Musk, has been in the works for a while and it's terrifying. A techno-libertarian hostile takeover of the government. It seems to create a utopia for the mega rich, but what about the rest of us?
February 15, 2025 at 5:06 AM
Louder for those in the back.
This has nothing to do with waste. USAID was investigating Musk for supporting Russia troops with Starlink, so he killed it. CPB was blocking his new pay system on X, so he killed it. The FAA was investigating SpaceX breaking launch rules, so he’ll fire them. It’s just a grift!

They got caught, but let's see if they end up giving the contract to an actual car company like Cadillac or GM that actually makes trucks that can handle a little snow and don't fall apart or explode.

Who is really behind the dismantling of USAid? Trump and Musk are tight with all the world's authoritarians. tRump wants to be dictator of the USA and Musk's ultimate goal is to be the dictator of the entire world.
