I'm curious...

[GiqueCee]

Can anyone here navigate the Machiavellian intrigue that explains why Musk's pimple-faced minions aren't being arrested for their blatant crimes?
Just because the Orange shitstain says that he, and only he, decides what the law is, doesn't make it true.
These malicious little bastards are wreaking havoc on a scale never before witnessed, and we're letting them get away with it? WTAF?

1. Yes, it's time to start disobeying these arbitrary directives and see how it plays out.

The legal system is our last best hope, even if that means carrying some of these cases to the SCOTUS and crossing our fingers. Otherwise we are well and truly eff'd.

2. From what I understand they were just given personal security.

[TheRickles]

3. Same issue, though. How legit is their personal security team?

Do they have the authority to make arrests? Etc.

[2naSalit]

5. Some were just...

Deputized so I'm guessing, yes.

Nothing a few good snipers couldn't fix. This is our national security they are fucking with, they can/should be shot on sight.

[TheRickles]

6. Any idea who deputized them? How high up in the chain of command does their authority come from?

And how readily could people (civilians, Congress members, etc.) just ignore them?

7. I think it was US Marshall.

I think it was this past weekend and there's at least one article on DU about it. I would find it but I have an appointment to get to right now.

8. I would think...

... there are laws against accessing government databases without Congressional approval; fuck Elon Weaseldick's claims of unrestrained authority. Show us documented authority permitting these unwarranted intrusions, or lawyer up, you slimy little shitbags.

4. It's wild to me that the media isn't pushing back more aggressively

DOGE is a rouge "agency" with no constitutional authority and no accountability or oversight. Why are they given legitimacy by our media? What pushback I've seen in the media has been milquetoast at best

[republianmushroom]

9. The lacking of a set. Ask Merrick the Meek.

"No man is above the law". chuckle, chuckle Just a myth.

[tritsofme]

10. Who would arrest them? DOJ works for Trump and Bondi.

[orangecrush]

11. Same

[Emile]

12. DOJ will get right on it.
