Warren Blasts Elon Musk’s Government Power Grab

[Billiejeens]

​

Senator Warren’s speech underscores a vital warning about the dangers of allowing one individual, especially one who is not an elected representative, to exert such extensive control over a major component of government operations. She highlights the fact that critical systems, like those responsible for sending Social Security checks, paying Medicare bills, and funding essential services, should remain in the hands of democratically accountable institutions rather than a single person’s private enterprise. Her concerns are particularly urgent because these are the mechanisms that safeguard our most vulnerable populations: seniors, patients, children, and ordinary families who rely on timely disbursement of federal funds.

In defending Senator Warren’s position, it’s clear that she champions the principle of government by the people, for the people. She rallies the public to resist concentrated power and reminds us that these systems were built to serve everyone, not to be subject to the personal decisions of someone who has never faced the voters. By calling attention to the broader implications of one individual’s influence, Senator Warren is advocating for a democratic check on power to ensure that vital services continue to flow responsibly. Her stance sends a powerful message that we should remain vigilant and engaged to protect the foundations of our democracy.

She should calm down, smoke um peace pipe.

Is Pocahontas so dumb as to think Musk is doing anything other than passing along his findings to the elected Trump? Or is she just intentionally lying?

She always lies.

I think that she really is that stupid.
Her and AOC are such an embarrassment to cisgendered women.

If an investigation determines that President Trump was subjected to a political witch hunt then K$H Patel or Ms Bondi must prosecute to the Max.

That investigation is to be conducted by law enforcement and it involves the courts, not one sitting president with his "powerful pen". The power of the pen or royal seal (a king wearing his signet ring, stamping edicts and orders), is not part of our system of government. Our founding fathers didn't want that shit. A few of them expected George Washington to become the King of America, and George turned that offer down. He made it clear, we're not a kingdom, we're a democratic constitutional republic, not a monarchy. The law rules here.

The irony here is that most of you who support Elon here on the forum, are pensioners, living on your Social Security, and relying on Medicare for your healthcare. You're placing all of that, at risk. It's not just the poor people on Medicaid or food stamps that you don't particularly care about, who are going to be affected. You, the MAGA working class, are essentially handing our government to a bunch of billionaire plutocrats, who don't give a rat's ass about you or anyone else, but themselves.

BJ rates your assessment of the situation as "retarded".

 

[Billiejeens]

It's hard to imagine why leftwingers are against simply auditing agencies that haven't been audited for years, if ever. Don't you people want ANY accountability?

They do not.

 

[Billiejeens]

That's not the role of the executive branch and all that is going to happen is all of these EOs are going to be struck down by the courts and Congress. You're actually wasting money, with all of these artificial, temporary changes that are going to be rolled back the moment the true authority in that area of our system of government assesses the situation and rules the president was wrong. You can play this little TRUMP THE KING game but it's all going to get slapped down by the courts and our Congress. Enjoy your little TRUMP KING game for a while, but eventually, it's all going to get ripped up like a paper tiger. That's all this amounts to, power posturing and stuffed teddy bears, that look scary but are full of fluff.

Why do you despise the US?

Your assessment:

 

[TruthNotBS]

Why do you despise the US?

Why are you a willfully ignorant idiot?

 

[Billiejeens]

Your assessment:

No

That is false.

 

[Billiejeens]

Why are you a willfully ignorant idiot?

So, no rebuttal?

The fact that you despise the US is noted and accepted.

 

[SeaMajor7]

Why do you despise the US?

It's a communist.

 

[TruthNotBS]

No

That is false.

Yes, that is true. Your opinion of me and my posts is poopoo.

 

[TruthNotBS]

So, no rebuttal?

The fact that you despise the US is noted and accepted.

There is nothing to rebut, you're just too dumb to realize it.

 

[TruthNotBS]

It's a communist.

All you right-wing conservatives have are ad hominem attacks, nothing of substance. You just attack people personally, as if somehow that strengthens your position, when it doesn't. Ad-homs are the refuge of a weak argument. It's what people resort to when their position is indefensible with logic and good evidence.

Now that's pretty darn funny. Pocahontas is a champion of fraud for personal gain.

Democrats are fine with unelected hacks in the ATF making " rules" that have the effect of law.

HUH?


Article II, Section 1, Clause 8:

Before he enter on the Execution of his Office, he shall take the following Oath or Affirmation:– I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.

The oath’s requirement that the President swear or affirm to faithfully execute the Office of President bears close relation to the President’s constitutional duty to take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed.1 Other provisions of the Constitution require action of various officials, but these two clauses comprise the only requirements that an official act faithfully. Because of these textual similarities, the oath is often discussed in conjunction with the Take Care Clause.2

You just proved my point. You have nothing other than infantile insults.

The money that they find and the money that they save by shuttering all of these government agencies and programs, where do you think that money is going to go?

Back in the taxpayers' pockets. Praise God!!
