I'm glad this is still being discussed. It seems like there are 4 main threads that we have to deal with right now as a society, and the severity of each means we have no time to deal with just one.
1. Breakdown of rule of law and political systems. Executive usurped Congress and is currently usurping SCOTUS. Both parties are dead. MAGA replaced the Republican party and Democrats are in the wilderness.
2. Destruction of the federal government through DOGE, which is this thread.
3. Destruction of the economy through tariffs and usurping the Federal Reserve by firing the Fed Chair, turning America into essentially a controlled economy.
4. Destruction of non-government institutions like law firms and academima which are power centers that could resist points 1-3.
- DrillShopper 2y agoRE: 4 The current Attorney General's brother is running for a seat on the Board of Governors of the Washington, DC bar. It is expected that he will carry water for Trump and Bondi and impede any sort of disciplinary action the DC bar may dole out to any attorney working for Trump. Yet another way Trump has his lackeys putting a thumb on the scale.
- 9283409232 2y agoThis is a very important election and I'm surprised no one is talking about it. Maybe because only DC lawyers can vote but I would think dems would want national attention on this.
- DrillShopper 2y agoOnly members of the DC bar can vote
- 9283409232 2y agoThat's what I said. I still think they would want eyes on the implications of this.
- DrillShopper 2y agoMy brain skipped the 'because' and interpreted the statement as a question. The responsible mental pathways have been sacked
- r00fus 2y agoDon't forget - they are also busy replacing career military flag officers with sycophants.
- ModernMech 2y agoYeah that's like a 5th thing: abusing all of the Article II powers to their maximum effect. We have to follow that thread because if the trends hold, we will see the US military being deployed against the US people within the next 3 years.
