1. Slightly related news: Aggie fans & media react to Texas A&M' baseball's home win over Elon

In your face Elon with your fancy all-American pitcher!

[AverageJoe]

20. :-) n/t

2. If an unelected foreign-born Nazi can buy his way into the presidency and dismantle our government with impunity,

we do not live in a democracy.

[Diamond_Dog]

5. Exactly!

[Efilroft Sul]

3. Article III sends its regards.

[lastlib]

37. As does Chief Justice John Marshall....

"It is emphatically the duty of the judiciary to say what the law is."

--Marbury v. Madison, 1803.

[Hugin]

4. They're just catching on that the President is an employee of the people.

ALL of the people. No matter the shade of their skin, gender, or beliefs.

Just wait until that bloated pulsating geniusing brain of his figures out that all of the stuff he’s been moving fast through and breaking is our stuff for which we’ve paid in tax dollars and blood (and he hasn’t).

[claudette]

27. And, wait until he

sees how many magats have been thrown out from their jobs! 2026 is going to be a good year to gain back the House and Senate!

[Hugin]

32. Here's hoping, claudette.

[claudette]

33. Absolutely 😊

[lastlib]

39. IF pResident Muskrat and his Crime Minister let us have an election......

(Watch this space,)

[MadameButterfly]

41. Do you think he'll ever figure it out?

Won't he rail at the unfairness of it all?
Then, will he succeed--or not--in calling out the military to enforce his point of view?

[Hugin]

42. Nah, I doubt he'll figure it out.

He will continue to rale and fuss through his megaphone to be dutifully stenographed by the M$M awed by his self proclaimed richness.

I am only trying to be uplifting in these dire moments.

He’s sure to try calling out the military with mixed results.

[MadameButterfly]

44. I'm all for being upbeat. We just have to presume that our success does not

require Trump understanding anything that is true and fair

[KY_EnviroGuy]

50. The term "public servant" is totally foreign to this bunch of grifters.

Musk is the current king of all grifters, far exceeding the grifting skills of Drumph.

What happened to Tesla semi-truck, the Space Port and Hyperloop, Elon?

[surfered]

6. How did he pass the test for US Citizenship?

[ReRe]

8. He didn't! n/t

[ShazzieB]

45. What do you mean?

He's a naturalized U.S. citizen, isn't he?

[ReRe]

54. That's not what the rest of heard. n/t

[lastlib]

40. He paid cash....... n/t

[bluboid]

7. THANK YOU, Alex Cole - brilliant way to put it

[Be Leave On]

9. confusion

Confusion is common in our media landscape.
Some people get so confused they even think that nitwit is a genius.
Weird.

[FakeNoose]

10. Why doesn't Musk move to Moscow? He'd love it there...

... and I'll bet they would welcome him with open arms.

[Attilatheblond]

17. Too much competition for the money

Putin has the reins of power still, and owns the means to the monies.

[allegorical oracle]

26. There are some out there that believe Putin is actually the richest man in the world, not Elon. nt

[peggysue2]

11. It's why Koch's Americans for Prosperity and other ultra right-wing groups . . .

Have pushed for a Constitutional Convention over decades. They've never supported the US Constitution as written. Their fondest dream has been a radical rewrite favoring less democracy while instituting more grift and deregulation.

Favoring billionaires and corporations, of course.

Because enough is never enough!

The war against America has been brewing for a very long time.

[Bluethroughu]

21. Bingo!

We got a winner!

This is what they are trying to create, by wrecking the country right now. So they can rewrite our Constitution because the rightwing has more state houses than Democrats.

[louis-t]

22. The way I always say it:

Republicans LOVE the Constitution, except the parts that they hate and want to change.

[Ojerly]

34. They only know

Article 2.

[allegorical oracle]

31. The Kochs were reared in an extremist family. Jane Mayer's book, Dark Money, points

out that their father, Fred Chase Koch, made his fortune by doing business with both Stalin and Hitler in the 1930s. Fred developed a method of extracting gasoline from crude oil. In 1958, he became one of the original eleven founders of the John Birch Society, which is a rabidly anti-Communist organization that gained a reputation for spreading conspiracy theories.

[Easterncedar]

51. See Sarah Cooper's history of wealth

So on point right here

[Quixote1818]

12. They only stop the President when he is fucking breaking the law! nt

[Karasu]

24. Or at least TRY to. Haven't had much luck there ever since this POS came on the scene 9 years ago.

[C Moon]

13. He thinks we live is a monarchy.

Billionaires live in a world of billionaires.

[Humane human]

14. We do not want nor need you, one f elon is enough

Please leave. Full STOP! You have been judged by the American People. The verdict is not positive.

[johnnyfins]

15. What an absolutely ignorant

Bag of shit.

[Skittles]

29. kills me that anyone thinks Musk is a genius

he is ridiculous

[COL Mustard]

16. I bet he doesn't feel that way about Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk

In Texas. He's the loon who agrees with Trump on everything about abortion.

[planetc]

18. I don't like Musk's life expectancy in Russia. He's such an independent spirit! There's only one of them at a time in

Russia.

[mwooldri]

19. Maybe I should throw out the...

"we're not in a Democracy we're in a Republic" line that MAGA supporters are prone to throw out once in a while..

[louis-t]

25. I remember that from the '90s. Jerry Falwell was interviewed

and the first words out of his mouth, having nothing to do with the question he was asked, were "First of all, this isn't a democracy, it's a republic." Idiot. When someone (a relative) repeated it I said "that's a dumb argument and not accurate. Democracy is the style of government and republic is the entity." But it's something they could get the rubes to repeat easily.

[DBoon]

28. That line came from the John Birch Society, back in the '50s or 50's

[Takket]

23. it's pretty rare that judges stop executive branch actions

since the executive branch usually makes sure they are doing things legal so they aren't bogged down with court orders later.

but since everything drumpf and FElon is doing is illegal, yeah, going to be a lot of judge rulings.

[damifino10]

30. Co-op disease

Eloon and mango man are both cancers.

[Aussie105]

35. Elon not happy!

Has his own rule book, and thinks it is more important than the Constitution.

The Constitution says 'For the People . . . ', Elon's rulebook says 'Against the people . . . '

It's a problem, but it is YOU that is the problem.

[electric_blue68]

36. The Judges are like Checks and Balances when You ELOON Are Doing ILLEGAL Actions!

[stollen]

38. Who is "We," Elon?

[Daleuhlmann]

43. Obviously, Musk Needs to Take U. S. Government101

Mr. Cole has said it all!

[DSandra]

46. "If the president is subjected to checks and balances, then we do not live in a democracy!"

"The president should be able to do whatever he wants!"

There, fixed it for Eloon.

[Ozimandeus]

47. But he has a solution

xAI as a supreme court judge.

[Baron2024]

48. Following

Good thread. Bookmarked.

[Straw Man]

49. It's called the rule of fucking law, Elon.

I guess you haven't heard of it -- or thought it didn't apply to you and your ilk.

[marble falls]

52. More Democratic than having an unpoular President and his unelected twit hatchetman.

[Old Crank]

53. He hasn't noticed how every GOP case

gets run through the wackjob court in Texas
It is also where the CBS trial is being held.
