Yes, Congressman. Yes, Senator who votes for every unqualified Trump candidate because you’re afraid that Elon Musk will fund a primary candidate against you next election. Democracy is about elections, not about permanent “safe” seats. You should want to fight for your right to represent the people. Then, when elected the most important things to remember at all costs are your oath to the Constitution of the United States of America, and your constituency. The Constitution gave you Article I and you’re throwing it away, and all your constituents, because you cower in awe and fear of two seriously flawed men.
It’s not ABOUT you, Mr. President, as you use the biggest bully pulpit (for now) the world has to offer as just that, a bully. You use a cudgel when a scalpel would suffice, annihilating entire departments that were created by the Article I Congress, not an Article II president, simply because you have a beef with them, or Elon Musk does in the case of USAID. You will die and your policies will only be remembered in history as the epitome of a cautionary tale, if we survive the next four years.
This is not cost-cutting at all, it’s vengeance at its most venal, and it must be stopped. Where are all these salaries going to go? Instead of stopping foreign wars our new president wants to start them in Panama, Canada, Mexico and anywhere else he thinks he can cow into submission. It’s all going into the Oligarchy Bro’s Tax Cut, we know. But he also wants a gilt-covered ballroom in the White House for $100 million dollars. How much food , clean water and AIDS protection can that alone buy in Africa?
Perhaps the courts can help. Perhaps the new administration will just say no, even to the Supreme Court. This entire debacle, however, is about us, and the price of eggs, and getting our social security checks on time. We’re the reason Donald Trump was elected and is breaking the federal government and serving up the tasty spoils to himself (family first, according to VP Vance) and his billionaire partners in crime. It’s up to us to do something about it.
Senators and Congresspeople, when the people rise up because we can’t afford food and medical care you will no longer be afraid of Elon Musk and his elf lords, because if our own president hasn’t unilaterally taken away the right of Americans to vote with Supreme Court acquiescence, we will vote and in numbers “like you’ve never seen before (to quote Trump).” And it won’t be for today’s spineless politicians who kissed the King’s jewel-encrusted ring and served him up a taxpayer-funded ermine-collared robe so he could perch upon and issue unequivocal diktats from his gaudy, Mar-a-Lago gilt throne.
It’s about US, WE THE PEOPLE! Let’s all be mugwumps, shall we? Look it up, 1884, Republican sect vehemently anti government corruption. Sounds familiar, doesn’t it? Dee
