Summary
Progressive Democrats accused Donald Trump and Elon Musk of orchestrating a “constitutional crisis” after Musk moved to shut down USAID and gained access to a federal payment system.
Lawmakers, blocked from entering USAID’s headquarters, condemned Trump for granting Musk unchecked power over government functions.
Senator Elizabeth Warren warned that Musk’s involvement could trigger financial instability, while Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez called it a “plutocratic coup.”
Why the fuck is it only ‘the progressives’ that are saying it? This makes it seem like it’s a political issue and not a hostile takeover. Fucking ridiculous.
God damn it lol my dumbass just looked up “orogressive” instead of realizing it was a typo.
I dumped that into ChatGPT to figure out what that would mean:
“Gold-progressing”: If “oro-” means gold, then “orogressive” could describe something advancing toward wealth, golden standards, or prosperity.
“Mountain-moving” or “Mountain-progressing”: If we go with the geological meaning, “orogressive” could mean progressing through or overcoming mountains—maybe symbolizing overcoming big challenges.
“Speech-advancing”: If “oro-” is tied to oral communication, “orogressive” might mean someone who is progressive in speech, rhetoric, or persuasion.
Honestly, all of those are ironically far more aspirational than “progressive”. I give it 4/5 stars for your newly-minted neologism.
Haha, sorry man. Thanks for pointing out the typo!
That wasn’t really the intention there lol, but no problem.
The liberals are just speechless with how beautifully the system is being exploited.
It’s not exploitation. The system is designed this way. A handful of billionaires own the media, a billionaire bought the presidency and has been handed keys to the White House. This is the pinnacle of what their goals have been all along.
Exploitation doesn’t mean illegal. It means everything they do is for personal benefit.
Isn’t it obvious that this administration is a government for the wealthy?
Americans are so out of touch… remember that some people that voted didn’t even know Biden dropped out.
Meanwhile all the Dems in leadership positions are conspicuously silent.
We cant afford to keep letting geriatric procorp moderates be the only alternative to fascism.
We just saw it the last four years, even when we “win” things don’t get better, they just stop getting worse for a few years.
It’s never been sustainable, and we’ve wasted decades on “the lesser evil”.
We need to actually run a good candidate Dem voters already agree with.
I think it might take something more drastic to deal with the actual Nazis running the country now. They are gaining more control over people’s lives and speech every day, and they have stated their intention to keep Trump as leader for at least another term after this one, and to do away with elections. Running appealing candidates may no longer be enough to topple them.
I think it might take something more drastic to deal
Gets truer everyday as long as we the only other option is neoliberalism and “the lesser evil”.
Meanwhile all the Dems in leadership positions are conspicuously silent.
Now now, Chuck Schumer was just talking about how aroused everyone is
DO SOMETHING YOU WORTHLESS FUCKS
“No you!”
-Nancy Pelosi or some shit
I know someone in a federal government department. They are actually getting pestered to resign now. Emails several times a day trying to get them to take the buyout scam.
Apparently there’s 20k idiots who have accepted it. So it works, I guess
That’s not idiots. That’s people that don’t make much money, hate their job, and saw an opportunity to leave with some change in their pocket while dumpster fire is just smouldering and not a full blown blaze yet.
It doesn’t work that well, since that’s less than 1% of federal employees.
1%, so far
Blame is a weird way to say “point out”
Was trying to think of a way to say this exact thing! Astute!
Honestly. I read it and then thought how can they accuse when everything clearly points to the take over.
Progressive Democrats accuse ocean of containing water.
Quick someone change the Wikipedia of plutocratic to sound really cool and then they both will say they did their research and look like complete morons.
progressive democrats are oxymorons
