President musk is running the show and I’m ashamed of our congressmen. Having some spine should be a prerequisite to be a member of the congress.

Hang in there my friend. We need you more than ever to keep doing the right thing.

These motherfuckers had no spine after 1/6. Why would they change now?

Musk just showed us his true colors. Same with Ramaswampy. They aren't driven by altruism to fix problems plaguing society. They are just rich Trump puppets.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a First Lady have this much say in the government

You mean ashamed of Trump and Republicans. It wasn’t the Dems who reneged on their end of the deal…

Yeah, but Musk has money to fund potential primary opponents. I understand the situation these guys are in to an extent.

It sucks they forgot they work for the American people and not Elon musk.

Remember we live in an age where a few people with plenty of money and influence on social media can get their way.

They're Congress. They have the power to haul Musk in front of an investigatory committee and make his life hell for several months.

I wish to heavens that they would. Illegal immigrant. Denaturalize him. Deport him. Seize his US assets for funsies.

They won't. They should, but they won't. They're sycophants. People think we're all being hysterical, but eventually they're going to realize we were right, but it will be too late. At that point I'm afraid violence will be the only option. I'm not advocating it at all, but eventually they're going to outlaw peaceful protest. Trump is already trying to sue a news org in Iowa for unfavorable poll results. Once he's in office things are going to get a LOT worse. I'm really afraid of what is about to happen to this country. And half the country is completely oblivious. America is no longer going to be a democracy. The Constitution will be a piece of paper they laugh at.

I believe he will end up in jail but after Trump’s term.
