DOGE is the Oligarchy Defense Initiative - its aim is to remove any and all obstacles to complete consolidation of power. Notice that while Trump golfs, Elon is running the show - We are moving quickly to the richest man in the world also being the most powerful - and the tools are being put in place to allow him to reign infinitely.

Everyone pay close attention what he just did to the SEC, FCC and the FTC. He brought them under his purview. What were once independent agencies and now going through the executive branch. He said that he and Pam Blondie will now deem what is law and what is not. Sure, that makes perfect sense. What if one of his donors is involved in Bitcoin fraud. Do you think that they will prosecute that Rich donor? Or crimes committed by other people will get the most scrutiny. We are all witnessing the government of mad people. But we must keep up the pressure. The Press must keep up the line of questioning and hold him to account. I fear that he might start to ban more press from covering him if they are known to ask "belittling and harder" questions.

If I was a fired FDA scientist working on the Avian Flu and they called me back because of a 'whoopsie", I might give the "F U" and keep walking....

DoD will be the next victim. All of this will be in the name of politicizing our military, and local economies will definitely feel the squeeze as well.

It has begun. 3 of highest ranking military leaders, the JAG, the advisory boards of the military academies. More to come, no doubt

They are trying to prime the military to use them violently suppress protests.

Precisely. And to follow orders to do things against the Geneva Convention when told to. He's already openly downplayed the atrocities in Ukraine and Gaza.

If you still support the Musk/Trump administration, you're part of the downfall of the United Stated. You're complicit.
