(2,698 posts)Won't he rail at the unfairness of it all?
Then, will he succeed--or not--in calling out the military to enforce his point of view?
Hugin
(35,907 posts)He will continue to rale and fuss through his megaphone to be dutifully stenographed by the M$M awed by his self proclaimed richness.
I am only trying to be uplifting in these dire moments.
Hes sure to try calling out the military with mixed results.

(11,708 posts)Have pushed for a Constitutional Convention over decades. They've never supported the US Constitution as written. Their fondest dream has been a radical rewrite favoring less democracy while instituting more grift and deregulation.
Favoring billionaires and corporations, of course.
Because enough is never enough!
The war against America has been brewing for a very long time.

This is what they are trying to create, by wrecking the country right now. So they can rewrite our Constitution because the rightwing has more state houses than Democrats.

allegorical oracle
(4,382 posts)out that their father, Fred Chase Koch, made his fortune by doing business with both Stalin and Hitler in the 1930s. Fred developed a method of extracting gasoline from crude oil. In 1958, he became one of the original eleven founders of the John Birch Society, which is a rabidly anti-Communist organization that gained a reputation for spreading conspiracy theories.

louis-t
(24,079 posts)and the first words out of his mouth, having nothing to do with the question he was asked, were "First of all, this isn't a democracy, it's a republic." Idiot. When someone (a relative) repeated it I said "that's a dumb argument and not accurate. Democracy is the style of government and republic is the entity." But it's something they could get the rubes to repeat easily.

(22,922 posts)since the executive branch usually makes sure they are doing things legal so they aren't bogged down with court orders later.
but since everything drumpf and FElon is doing is illegal, yeah, going to be a lot of judge rulings.

Aussie105
(6,899 posts)Has his own rule book, and thinks it is more important than the Constitution.
The Constitution says 'For the People . . . ', Elon's rulebook says 'Against the people . . . '
It's a problem, but it is YOU that is the problem.
