Trump and his merchant of chaos Elon Musk are pummeling federal agencies, targeting bureaucrats, clawing back spending approved by Congress, buckling the world order and busting trade pacts.SNIP
Once again, Trump is raising questions at a velocity that leaves other branches of government, his opponents and voters struggling to grasp what’s happening and unable to resist.
SNIP
- Musk, wielding vast, mostly invisible power, working deep beneath the hood of the federal government, is especially problematic. He’s not elected or confirmed by Congress and seems accountable to nobody — perhaps not even Trump.
- And there are multiple and growing signs that institutions like the FBI, CIA, DOJ and federal agencies that Americans have relied upon to deliver justice and keep them safe, prosperous and healthy are now mere tools of Trump’s whims.

A trail of shocks and uproar

Trump’s chosen FBI enforcer Kash Patel hasn’t even arrived yet, but he appears likely to be confirmed by the Senate as the retribution agenda gathers pace.

And he doesn’t get much benefit of the doubt as a twice-impeached president who tried to wreck democracy to stay in power in 2021.

How Trump is using vast powers of his office to evade accountability
SNIP
“Is this a kind of coup?” asked Brettschneider. “We are seeing in real-time how the fundamental constitutional requirements can be evaded given the vast power of the executive. That might not be a violent collapse of the system but it does resemble the demise of the rule of law we see in authoritarian countries.”
Bannon, who charts the mayhem during hours of daily podcasts, has a new buzz phrase to describe it: “Days of Thunder.”

So much fun. Run Stephen! Run! No one can stop Trump!!!!
Stephen Collinson, a ranting Communist, is besides himself. “Oh the humanity!”
Well like everything else CNN put out, lie, another lie and more lies.
Concern troll CNN is very concerned.
Power grab? He already has the power.
FOAD
The real question is: how much longer will we have to endure CNN?
Time to audit the CIA, particularly all their activities involving the news media.
The hypocrisy of it is breathtaking. 😆
Interesting, but O'Bummer and pedo joe were 100 times worse and I didn't hear CNN whining about them? Double standard much?
CNN needs a good cry...
Like Politico, I can guarantee you CNN too is getting some (or was) from USAID.
You better bring an F-16 !
These people are insane.
Trump thru Musk stops dubious spending and suspends that idiotic dei. He has taken no money. He has not transfered any power. He HAS taken the power of an unelected shadow power, ie deep state and stopped the dumblecrat money train.
Their wails and gnashing of teeth makes them sound like the stupid people everyone thinks they are.
some kickback I meant
I wonder if .gov funds CNN in some way....
This is like watching whores parading up and down the Las Vegas strip (and yeah it is illegal there but they don’t care just like the whore mass media).
Hope it continues.
Even he leftist deep state knows their only survival going forward is a total retreat. They try to continue on outrage, and they areflambeyed, toasted, cooked, and incinerated.
