As someone with just as much federal authority as the non-existent DOGE, I also propose defunding expenditures that “don’t advance the interests of American citizens.”
And I would like to start with fucking Vivek Ramaswamy and Elon fucking Musk.
Give 'em an Archie Slap for even suggesting that shit.
as equal authority, I propose we just lock them up.
I'm sure we can find something to actually justify it. Like, you know, betraying classified secrets to the russians, as well as providing intelligence and military aid;
if elon lied on immigration forms, strip his citizenship, seize his wealth and assets 'earned' after committing that crime, and kick him tf out.
I like this idea, too.
Donate it to something like habitat for humanity.
I don't think they accept donations in the form of ideas about Elon Musk..
oh, i was saying musk's money.
I know, just teasing you about the ambiguous way you phrased it 😁
If we're all just doing things without authority, why does it even need a legalized justification? Home Depot sells dog cages and padlocks.
And now you've circled back to exactly why this Department isn't "non-existent" or "made up" or whatever. "Legal justification" is moot now.
Because kidnapping is one thing and seeing them convicted is another.
I want him convicted in a court of law. Legitimately.
All of these stupid fucks, to be clear. Musk. Trump. Vivek. There’s a long list of assholes that need some justice.
And I want a pet pig that flies. There's nothing legitimate about how the US courts treat the rich and powerful.
Even the ones that get convicted tend to go to cushy Club Fed prison resorts unless they mess with the money of other rich and powerful people like Bernie Madoff did.
And it's just going to get so much worse now.
Wait long enough, and neither will pass the nationalist purity test. The leopards will turn inwards for face-eating sooner than some fasc-allies think, I suspect
Unfortunately, that implies they've already run out of people outside to deport or murder...
Newly added colluding with Iranian representatives outside official government channels
grab a shovel and start digging. Also, bring the tigerbalm, there's gonna be a lot of nasty shit.
