    The dumb part of this story is not that they’re trying to cover it up

    The dumb part is that America just accepts it all as a cover up and won’t bother doing anything about it.

    If any other president before had done any of this … the country would have erupted … but the US has become so complacent and apathetic to this orange menace that it’s become an authoritarian nation not ruled by force but by the adject stupidity and complacency of the entire country.

      Explain what people are supposed to do. The largest US protest in history happened during the No Kings protest in October. Until the stock market crashes and everyone is fucked don’t expect people to violently rise up against him.

        When the No Kings protest happens every single day, things will change. Until then, it’s an inconvenience to be waited out, nothing more.

        There’s a small group of committed people in my small town who protest every week, but we’re a long way from getting something of the scale of the No Kings protests.

      Majority of America’s wealthy are in his pockets. As they have profited from his inside stock market crashes and other tariff wars. Musk himself got to dig all of the America’s files and silence the competition. Anyone who wasn’t with them is taken care of either with money or threats of taking their wealth away. Donny is basically Putin. That’s why they vibe together so much. Except Putin has an actual balls to do when he says and Donny is just a crook that has a pussy.
