well then, you better turn yourself in, Chuckles.

I'm pretty sure the coercion of elected officials is some kind of crime. Gee, good thing President Musk is above the law, according to the supreme court's ruling on presidential immunity.
itzu2jones31415
This is to fucking much! The wh clip didn’t put fear in you, then your dead!
SubtleOrc
I'm sure the "well regulated militia" will ovrrturn this oppressive government any day now? right? I mean this is why you put up with all those school shootings
maxthemagician
Didnt they just order justice department to drop charges on Adams?
Grimmrog
didn't he break the law too? off to jail with him.

Ah, the tough hand on immigrants at work. Good you don't let any foreigners run your government.

Breaks my heart but I don’t see us visiting our family in the US until rule of law is re-established.

"Those who break the law will be arrested" "Unless you're a republican..."
DukeDarkwood
The audacity of saying this, when he is free-walking, free-talking proof it's false would surprise me if I thought the GOP or the ultra-rich had any shame whatsoever.
Fortunately, I know better - it's been over half a century since either of them have had even the tiniest smidgen of shame, about anything.

Republicans love to thump the bible. Well I've got a Bible verse for them. Matthew 7:3-5
DarthVaderDidNothingWrong
Is that about genitals the size of donkey's?
TheMoonBnuuy
No, it's basically saying, just to summarize "don't criticize people for having a tiny problem when you have the same problem but bigger"
And it's Jesus's actual words, not somebody else speaking. You know, the words Republicans ignore.
DrKonrad
Trump literally broke the law and was convicted for it. Is he going to be arrested then?
NChomsky
In this oligarchy of the super-rich run by wall-to-wall criminality? Hahahahahahahah.
stseregh
Isn't he technically a government employee with his bullshit department of whatever? Not defending by any means, but I'm not sure this argument is solid
bripi
He has no legal authority to do anything. His so-called office doesn't legally exist, either, because that is 100% in the hands of Congress. He has zero legal standing and the fact that *no one* is going after him for his bullshit is just astounding. The Dems are letting this shit happen in real time instead of screaming bloody murder and getting on the fucking job.
Aksuuuh
Is he even an employee? Or does he just have his arm so far up Donnie's ass to work him as a hand puppet
HunglikeaHamster
As far as I understand, DOGE is set up as an advisory body to the president. The president can therefore assign government officials to assist it administratively whilst the actual "advisors", i.e. Musk and his cronies, would not be employed by the government.
trinxter
It's fascism. Oligarchy is what we have had for a while.
Targe0
The US had soft Oligarchy before, where they leave the Government alone and just tell them what to do. This is now hard Oligarchy, where the Oligarchs are active in enforcing the policy change they desire themselves. In soft they can still be resisted to a degree, in hard there's basically no way to stop them.
GnomeDeGuerre
It looks to be both?!

Remember: this is the same tactic he’s been using to get access to servers. “Do what I say or I’ll get you arrested and do it anyways while you’re gone”.

Wasn't he saying that the judicial branch had to be repealed because a judge had asked him to respect the law?
ProppaGanda
Well well well. You've been building a system that allowed this to happen "overnight" for decades.
Every hierarchical system is based not on institutions and laws but who can command people with batons and guns.
stseregh
Don't forget fear mongering and misinformation, those are quite handy
ProppaGanda
At the end of the day those are also ultimately propped by guys with batons and guns.
uniqueParrot
The world has already seen, what an amphetamine driven psychopath is able to do.
Hengabecka
We have had to listen to Americans resisting gun control for years because of their precious constitutional right to bear arms in defence against an oppressive government. Surely the day has come when if that means anything at all, the people need to rise up and have a proper revolution.
unluckyandbored
Unfortunately, the guys with the guns are on the side of the tyrannical government.
paulus1978
Fortunately, being a Democrat isn't an exclusionary factor to buying your own. The amendment is for them too.

For now.

At a certain point we will have nothing to lose. Right now there isn't much to lose. But we have been trained to hold on to the little shit we do have. When in reality it's not worth it. So time to get life insurance policies and fight back. If we succeed then job done. If we don't, our families will have it a tiny bit easier. But the message must be sent. We are too fucking complacent.
Magnus4711
ok, you start and when i see you in the news i will follow. your turn now
roadsterdoc
You think insurance companies will actually do what they’re contractually obligated to do? They haven’t been doing so fir years and it’s only going to get worse
SalmonTheWise
Even if they did fulfil claims instead of denying them, I'm pretty sure a life insurance wouldn't cover an armed insurrection against the federal government.
Sodaguru
The next thing he is going to do is to build a private army. Then he will 'nullify' the elected system, including the dump president. Beware... Americans, beware. Because he got enough wealth at his disposal to do any dirty work and has no commonsense!

CoeurFranc
I would add beware world since Musk infiltrates many other democracies.
NChomsky
The US has been obliterating foreign democracies for over century, damn near two. This isn't a Trumproach or Muskrat phenomenon. They're just the 'new' faces of the American oligarchy.
Telemapus
Musk wealth: 378 billion. US GPD (that's the money it makes in one year): 27 trillion. Musk is still one order of magnitude short... technically far more because most of his wealth is on paper and he doesn't make 378 billion a year, but let's not worry about that. It is kind of scary that he is reaching Rockefeller levels of equity with US GDP but his fortune is "global" and far less "real" than Rockefeller's.
Woahouch110
All true. But Musk purchased America for what? 350 million. American politicians are so cheap.
tooomanystevesgotbanned
Oooh, that's an interesting take. Musk uses Trump to delete congress, joint chiefs, etc., then seizes power for himself?
CoeurFranc
Actually that’s what it already looks like!

RollToSaveAgainst
Surely the child came up with that on his own and hasn't heard someone repeatedly saying it
GCRust
That's when the REAL shitshow starts. Elon's the public 'face' but never forget Peter Thiel's got his own iron in the fire with Vance...who is on paper at least the #2 guy. Say Elon convinces Vladdy Daddy that Donnie has a heart attack out a window or a bad cup of tea when he visits Russia.
TheMilliner
Technically speaking, there’s nothing illegal about private armies. The US has constitutional rights to form organised militias, and is not internationally party to either of the mercenary convention acts. It’s why companies like Blackwater can exist and operate with impunity alongside American forces.
That isn’t to say it’s a good or bad thing, just that there are literally no legal restrictions to doing that in America, for Elon or anyone else.
NChomsky
"For anyone else" is the KEY phrase people need to notice here.
BobbyBoomstick
But it is a bad thing you know!
pandemicmodedad
Funny Americans never decided to update their constitution when the British forces were completely defeated. It's because of laws like these that the US second civil war was inevitable.
ABonkeysManana
Which is why resistance a militian needs to start assembling now.
DutchBoeremeisie
He is drunk on power. It would be funny if it wasn't so terrifying.
gluttonygreedpridewrathslothlustenvy
Didn't Trump just literally instruct the DoJ to drop charges against mayor Eric Adams in New York on his corruption charges? Like 2 days ago??
RollToSaveAgainst
Pretty sure he's high on ketamine on a regular basis
SaturnineCult
It's very clear Trump is the demented clown, Musk is the zoo monkey throwing shit, and billionaire circus owners are reaping the benefits.
MyVerySmarterUserName
Exactly, hubris.

Ir won't last - Trump will soon tire of him.
eleanorugby
and they lived happily ever after
Targe0
Even if that happens, it won't be till after they are done crippling the US. Because Musk isn't around Trump much anymore, so he's not doing anything that will annoy Trump. So it will only happen once Musk runs out of things to do and starts to bug Trump because he's bored.
SirKaill
Unless he has so much dirt on trump from twitter private messages that Trump is being blackmailed
TheToweringMothlord
This! It's obviously some sort of deal they made 😂
DutchBoeremeisie
That is what I've been wondering - but I wonder how far "gone" Trump is. He has had a few interviews now where he hasn't seem very with it. Then again, I'm trying to avoid seeing him on my tv screen, so I am not basing this on a lot of data.
Deshalope
"A few"?
DutchBoeremeisie
"Then again, I'm trying to avoid seeing him on my tv screen, so I am not basing this on a lot of data."
TheVampireDante
Well after's musk's kid aparently had a go at him, he might decide it's not worth the annoyance if he keeps bringing them around.
DutchBoeremeisie
(My point being - I don't know if he is already at a point where people around him are manipulating him and to what extent.)
TheVampireDante
That happened a while back, but as usual calling it out gets you in their crosshairs and "life ruined" in response...
PwnageHobo
Arrested, found guilty, but never actually sentenced because it would be too embarrassing to have an active president with an ankle monitor
hexephant
A corporate nazi bought the president and hacked the government, and faces no consequences. All branches of government are controlled by a party unapologetically working against the people, while the other party won't stand up for the people because most are corporate lap dogs being paid to sit. We're way past the embarrassment of an ankle monitor.
PwnageHobo
Yep, but that's the excuse they used at the time
dogmatix
lol sorry but I really do not think it gets any more embarrassing.
PwnageHobo
I'm an Aussie. So I'm sitting here laughing, cringing and crying with the rest of the world
dogmatix
We've got Trump-lite trying to get in to power here with similar enough policies. Dutton and his Dunces are a fuckin worry. He idolises Trump/Elon and I am in no doubt he would love to sell out Australia in the same way if given a chance.
PwnageHobo
Man, fuck Dutto! He's a piece of shit
