Are “we the people” willing to put up a fight to defend our own democratic republic from the Trump/Musk coup?
Back during the 2024 campaign the SCOTUS intervened in the process of Trump’s attempts to avoid accountability for his alleged CRIMES. Not only did they accept the case of the argument he had “absolute immunity” from CRIMES committed while he was in office but they dragged out the process ensuring Trump wouldn’t face a jury until after the election – an election which has allowed Trump to “beat” two of the four cases charged without the American people EVER witnessing the cases brought against him – and, then, to the astonishment of legal observers the SCOTUS actually gave Trump the immunity he was seeking. As the saying goes, “what could possibly go wrong.”
As I often have said here, “if you haven’t taken the time to read Project 2025, you should do so ASAP,” we’re seeing that “manifesto” unfolding in real time. The latest episode – well, one of them (it’s hard to keep up – which is the point) – is the threat to agents at the FBI as they’re asked to fill out questionaires regarding what their individual role was in investigating the CRIMINALS who were convicted of Cop-beating, among other crimes (including Seditious Conspiracy) on January 6th, 2021. Presumably, those who participated in those investigations (maybe 6000 in all) will be terminated.
Here’s my first thought: “These people have protection as career public servants against being dismissed without cause.” So, is investigating what many people consider one of the gravest CRIMES against our constitution – an attempted coup d’etat – going to be considered “cause” by Trump. My guess is there will be a legal challenge to this egregious power grab and, this won’t be the only one, “We the people” are about to get another dose of reality regarding our right wing SCOTUS. The only thing which might surprise me regarding this Court would be if they actually upheld the law – keeping in mind, they’ve instructed Trump any decision he makes is “legal.”
Add to what Trump’s sycophants are doing to the Justice Department/FBI there’s Elon Musk’s right wing band of “DOGE” whack jobs (some reportedly teenagers) bullying their way into the offices of the USAID, the Department of Education, and the Treasurey Department. Actually – and, I’ll say this again – it’s Elon Musk putting people out on the street – FIRING them. Remember, Musk is the South African apartheid “trust baby” (like Trump – only Trump is German) who allegedly came to the U.S. illegally – supposedly as a student (who never went to school) spent close to $300 MILLION to get Trump elected and who flashed a Sieg Heil at Trump’s inauguration celebration. Project 2025 in action. According to some reports, Musk’s fortune has nearly doubled since the election. Nice work if you can get it!
Musk reportedly claimed USAID was full of “left wing Marxists who hate America.” Where does this asshole get off doing this? Simply because he’s rich? The outcome of what he’s doing would indicate he’s the one who “hate’s America.” Shuttering USAID will affect (NEGATIVELY) millions across the globe, some of who are among the poorest people in the world – dependant on food and medicine provided by USAID. We’re talking about the richest man in the world taking food and medicine away from the poorest! Musk has shown himself to be, in the words of Keith Olberman, “The worst person in the world.” Yikes!!!
People will soon begin to understand what’s in the 900 pages of Project 2025 and realize they SHOULD have read it BEFORE the previous election. Trust me, it isn’t Trump writing all these executive orders he’s signing – some of them, as I’ve been pointing out are kind of like a “smokescreen” (OK, I haven’t been using that exact word) to get “we the people’s minds off of what is really their (The puppet masters of Project 2025) objective. For example, I don’t think even Trump believed he could change the constitution with an executive order. (i.e. ending birthright citizenship – although, as I said above, nothing the SCOTUS does, where this absurd claim is headed, surprises me – a couple of the Justices were pro-coup on January 6th, 2021 after all. (Along with their wives!) Was Trump attempting to get “we the people’s” attention off Musk’s rampage through USAID, the Education Department and into the payment system at Treasury? He may already have your’s and mine Social Security numbers.
Ending USAID, ending the Department of Education? – these are simply the beginning of what they have planned. (And, I believe in both cases it’s ILLEGAL) Does Musk believe those overseeing American’s higher education students are “leftists Marxists who hate America?” Over the previous four years it’s been reported by many (of the people I read/listen to) political observers that republicans are – since January 6th, 2021, enacting a “slow moving coup.” Well, we can now take the “slow motion” out of that phrase. (I actually believe this all started in the 1970’s) With UNELECTED Elon Musk as the focal point, the Trump regime is enacting their assault on the varying government institutions with they’ve targeted at an alarming rate. What better way to fuel a government takeover than to dismantle the Department of Education – or, better yet take it over in order to funnel their mis/disinformation to America’s young people.
Just think about this – they’re about to purge an untold number of FBI agents – who, technically SHOULD be investigating this coup d’etat on America’s government. The new Director of the FBI hasn’t even been confirmed yet – OR the Attorney General. (Apparently she was confirmed today, with the blessing of Senator Federman of Pennsylvania – wow!) Do you really believe this will mellow out once they have been confirmed? And, just think about the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) when RFK Jr. gets confirmed. Think of the DAMAGE he can inflict on “we the people.” Do you believe Trump will do a better job when the next pandemic hits? I mean, I will be surprised if HHS is not “stripped” of much of its function by then. There are something like 30 agencies under HHS including NIH (National Institutes of Health) and the Departments of Medicare and Medicaid, the CDC, and FDA among a bunch of others. Do you believe RFK Jr. was picked for his expertise? Which = NONE!
And, Tulsi Gabbard – an alleged Russian “useful idiot” – as the next Director of National Intelligence – overseeing the 18 U.S. organizations which are responsible for the intelligence industry tasked with keeping us safe. Do you really think she was chosen based on her qualifications for the job? Remember, we have a public drunkard and alleged abuser of women – whose major qualification is he was a Fox “news” weekend host – in charge of the military – which Trump has already said he would expect to be used against any protests that might occur based on his unlimited power as the head of our government. (Well, the protests are ramping up!)
Over the past 3 years, many of us have been closely watching, and supporting, Ukraine as their people are putting up a fierce defence of their young democratic nation amidst the ILLEGAL invasion and attack coming from Vladimir Putin and Russia. Here’s the question I have, are “we the people” willing to put up a fight to defend our own democratic republic from the Trump/Musk coup? That remains to be seen. But, I have to admit, the Project 2025 folks are implementing their plan – which I’ve called a “roadmap to fascism” and they’re counting on a passive response from Americans. They actually believe they have a “mandate” for this power grab.
And, as I’ve pointed out, including above – Trump will continue to “flood the zone” (his “smokescreen”) with things to get our focus off what is important to his coup partners and this weekend we got a good example of what I’m talking about. Trump initiated Tariffs against both Canada and Mexico (and China), which caused a real (negative) response on Wall Street – and, of course, by early afternoon these tariffs were “put on hold.” The explanation of why there was a “pullback” was because both Canada and Mexico will increase their efforts to fight the fentanyl crisis at their borders. (only about 43 pounds comes across our Northern border as opposed to a couple thousand pounds allegedly via our Southern border.) The way Paul Krugman puts it – the blowback is the “classic case of a bully getting hit back in the face and he runs away”). Trump is a bloviating idiot, he’s taking personal credit for his “dealmaking.” (Both Canada and Mexico “agreed” to policies they had already enacted! In fact, Mexico’s president got Trump to agree to stop the illegal guns going into Mexico)
I’ve asked this question before. What do “we the people” do when Trump decides he won’t follow the edicts of the courts – which appears to be the only possible “check” to Trump’s actions short of a major revolt coming from the people. In a way, the SCOTUS gave the impression they were ceding their authority to the presidency last year. Are they afraid of Trump like virtually EVERY republican in Congress? What is going to happen when Trump says FU to the court? Do you really believe the Justice Department under Pam Bondi or the FBI under that deplorable Kash Patel will intervene on the side of “we the people?” We have elected a wannabe organized crime boss to the presidency and we’re seeing in real time the level of DAMAGE he will be doing to our republic over the next four LONG years. As Ben Franklin once said when asked about our government ‘ “It’s a republic if you can keep it.”
People seem to have begun understanding the power of Social Media – I mean virtually 100% of the CEO’s of the Social Media platforms permeating throughout America were standing next to Trump as he took the oath of office (while refusing to put his hand on the Bible – a note to all you Christians who’ve made a “deal with the devil.”) How do we fight back against these greedy cowards. (I heard Zuckerberg is moving Meta’s incorporation from Delaware to Texas – so he can be like Musk). Not just Americans but people around the globe SHOULD immediately refuse to buy a Tesla. EV’s are great, I’ve been driving one since 2015 (and, never a Tesla). There are plenty of great options – I’m driving a Polestar and it’s every bit as nice as a Tesla – as I’ve said here before, without the Musk!
Final Thought: I’ve pointed out Trump is “flooding the zone” in order to keep “we the people” from keeping up with all the ILLEGAL bullying tactics in strategic areas where we won’t be paying attention to the actions making him the MOST money – he has no plans to honor our constitution’s emoluments clause. So, that’s one area to keep our focus one. That said, today Trump came out with maybe the STUPIDEST “plan” yet – keeping in mind he’s threatening Greenland, Panama, Canada, and Mexico with absurd demands. He ACTUALLY, today, suggested ALL the Palestinian people be removed from GAZA while the U.S. comes in, levels what’s left of the place and creates what Trump called the “Riviera in the Middle East.” (If you remember, he made a similar suggestion to Kim Jong Un regarding North Korea)
Apparently, Trump believes both Egypt and Jordan will take about a MILLION refugees each – on a permanent basis. And, he also suggested the U.S. would “own” the property. I’m sure Trump believes that’s a brilliant idea and would destabilize the Middle East any more than it is now – after the U.S. ILLEGAL invasion of Iraq a little over 20 years ago. Bibi Netanyahu was standing next to Trump as he rolled out his proposal – well, of course Netanyahu would be excited about this – he’s been doing EVERY thing he could to prevent the so-called “Two State sollution” for years. (There are credible reports Netanyahu and his government were aware of HAMAS’ plans for October 7th, as much as a year before the attack took place – and, yet, they left the border, essentially, unguarded. In my mind, Netanyahu is every bit as bad as Trump.
Add to this, it appears Trump wants to remove Palestinians from the West Bank as well, giving it to Israel. (That’s around 3 MILLION more “refugees”) Well, of course Netanyahu would love that idea. As I listened to Trumpo I couldn’t help think of all the Palestinians in Michigan who either didn’t vote for Biden, didn’t vote at all, or, in some instances voted for Trump. Nice Job! Mission accomplished! And, there were large amounts of young people who blamed President Biden for what Netanyahu was doing. I mean Trump gave a hint of what to expect when he named Mike Huckabee as the ambassador to Israel. If you’re not aware, Huckabee doesn’t believe Palestinians exist. The Huckabee’s are weird – which should have been obvious if you’ve listened to his daughter, Sarah, who once was Trump’s press secretary – the job of publically LYING for our convicted FELON of a president.
It is unquestionable “we the people” brought all this upon ourselves – and it’s affecting MILLIONS around the globe already. As a best case scenario, from my vantagepoint, it will take at least a GENERATION to recover from Trump 2.0, if it’s even possible. Just think for a moment, those of us on earth 1 still believe we can vote out republicans in Congress in 2026 – but, if you remember correctly, Trump promised his rabid Christian base they “wouldn’t need to vote anymore” after the 2024 elecion. Did you ever ponder what he meant by that? Do you actually believe future elections won’t be “rigged?” Do you believe the right wing voter suppression tactics will stop now that he’s in office once again? Personally, I believe there’s “stuff” going on “under the radar” that “we the people” aren’t paying attention to which this pathalogical LYING so-called president who’s a FELON 34 times over thinks will keep him if office indefinitely. We REALLY need to …. stay tuned!!!
One more thing – the more people who move off of Xwitter, facebook, and Instagram the better from my standpoint. And, not only should we REFUSE to buy Tesla’s but anything associated with Mark Zuckerberg SHOULD be off limits to buy for as many people as we can convince he’s wanting to “be like Musk.” The ONLY thing which will get the attention of these BILLIONAIRES is affecting their net worth. And, as far as the advertisers on their business, “we the people” should somehow organize a boycott of those products. If you remember all the corporations pulling away from the election deniers after January 6th – well, there were a bunch of them in the crowd as Trump was LYING about his “oath” to the constituion. Let Musk, Zuckerberg, Tim Cook of Apple, Google’s CEO, and the other tech BILLIONAIRES depend on the Seditionists and the rest of the extreme right wing for their income. There are alternative choices “we the people” can make as to how we spend our money.
