Musk is who we deserve. The country that treats money as speech and corporations as people and bribery as political action has the worlds richest man controlling it. Finally, the world is making some fucking sense.

2A thumpers defend school shootings as required to defend against tyrants. Tyrants literally in our buildings and giving nazi salutes? Nothing.

Americans currently rereading the 2nd amendment: "Damn, if we could only use them outside of schools, things would be fixed quickly"

It's weird that Jefferson literally demanded helpless children be shot in schools like that but hey that's what the Constitution says so I guess we gotta let em do it.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN SOMEONE TOOK A KNEE AT THE NATIONAL ANTHEM??!!???

if you think trump is bad, just wait to be ruled directly by those fuckers instead of via proxy.

[-] ansiz@lemmy.world 8 points 2 hours ago

Who's to say we're not already. Just look at how much golfing Trump has already been up to! I bet he ends up spending more time in Florida than in DC.

[-] reksas@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 hour ago

yeah, but that still has the limitation of having to at least pretend. I dread to think what will happen when they stop caring about that and just directly take control.

[-] thespcicifcocean@lemmy.world 50 points 6 hours ago

it's only a coup if it comes from the Coup d'Etat region of France, otherwise it's just a sparkling government takeover.

[-] Wogi@lemmy.world 4 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

Which is why the US has never actually staged a coup in a foreign country. Not many people know that

Hey, hey. Elon Musk purchased the US fair and square, we've known that for like 3 months now, no need to go acting all surprised!

[-] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 5 points 2 hours ago

The Incorporated States of America?

Unelected weirdo walks into government facilities and does what he wants.

[-] labbbb2@thelemmy.club 9 points 7 hours ago

They want to turn the US into kleptocratic empire ruled by organised crime, like Russia or Angolan former dictator Jose dos Santos with his Russian family

[-] militaryintelligence@lemmy.world 60 points 12 hours ago

Nah, everybody relax. Go to work, come home to your 2.3 kids. Everything is normal. President Musk is doing everything he can to take care of the immigrant and LGBTQ problem, the only problems the USA has. Men could be playing womens sports, guys. I mean it. Massive fucking problem.

[-] killingspark@feddit.org 1 points 12 minutes ago

If I ever come home to 2.3 kids I'm gonna be so mad. Where is the 0.7 kids I'm missing?!

What does first lady trump say about this?

[-] onecarmel@lemmy.world 9 points 10 hours ago

He’s just making weird grunting noises, kinda sounds like an orangutan

[-] labbbb2@thelemmy.club 9 points 10 hours ago

One is fascist narcissistic billionaire and other is criminal

[-] Test_Tickles@lemmy.world 7 points 10 hours ago

This reboot of The Odd Couple is really weird.

[-] cultsuperstar@lemmy.world 22 points 13 hours ago

Is it a coup if Trump and Republicans have given him permission and letting him do what he wants?

[-] WarlockLawyer@lemmy.world 14 points 12 hours ago

Yes. Since he wasn't elected and the actions he is taking require actual laws to pass to occur legally

[-] hanrahan@slrpnk.net 43 points 15 hours ago
[-] BigBenis@lemmy.world 38 points 15 hours ago

Although no one was prosecuted

Why the FUCK do we keep letting people get away with this shit??

[-] void_turtle 4 points 9 hours ago

I believe the theory is that Roosevelt sat down with the Business Plot crew in secret and gave them the option of a) they convince their business pals not to oppose the New Deal too much or b) they hang. Obviously they picked option a.

[-] aphonefriend@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 7 hours ago

This is the kinda shit that needs to be taught to everyone in US history class.

Fully understand what is happening here in America. The far right has destroyed the rule of law and are just acting to destroy our government. Don’t let this happen to your country. Don’t let Elon Musk any where near your elections or near your country.

[-] fnrir@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours ago

Too late. He tweeted "Cześć" (or Hello). How scared should I be?

[-] labbbb2@thelemmy.club 7 points 10 hours ago

Russians and fossil fuel corporations are cheering
