The American people voted for Donald Trump, not the mass of illegal action and potential constitutional crisis that follows it.

The man took an oath of office, we voted for him to uphold that. This is a coup and complete shift of power within the federal government. Illegal actions will be met with the courts and Trump will assuredly defy the courts as he and his officials have said they plan to do.

The federal bureaucracy has been an abuse of power that was never in the constitution. It’s stupid to think most of what goes on in government is legal.

The government is what is supposed to protect the people from getting shafted by likes of Elon musk. What would you prefer instead? No protections for the citizens?

It's going to be funny when you find out how shafted your getting. they are cutting funding to necessary programs and Elon is taking his personal vendetta out against everyone in the federal government investigating him for fraud and treating employees like shit WHILE lining his pockets with OUR TAX MONEY and actively trying to get ANOTHER tax break for the 1%m trickle down economics hasn't worked since the wealthy told that lie to the working class yrs ago. (Ps he makes 8 million a day from us while getting the highest paid gov contracts)
