Have you been living in a cave since 20 January? Over 1500 convicted or arraigned insurrectionists have been pardoned, Elon Musk has a group of interns fucking around in the guts of the Treasury payment systems, USAID has been effectively shut down by executive order and its employees on foreign soil essentially told to “Fuck off, don’t call us,” even though that is completely outside of executive authority, a nominee who wouldn’t promise to refuse a plainly illegal order in her confirmation hearing was appointed by the Senate to lead the Justice Department, another nominee who is a known Putin sympathizer and credibly suspected Russian agent was made the Director of National Intelligence, the FBI has been ordered to turn over a list of all special agents and other staff who did their appointed duty in investigating crimes at the January 6, 2021 insurrection, the CIA was ordered to send a list of all probationary agents to Elon Musk at an unclassified email account (which they did because apparently the plot of Mission: Impossible to conceal the names of agents at all costs was total bullshit), the National Institutes of Health stayed all grants and then was ordered to reverse the stay and then stopped them again leaving thousands of research labs and post-docs in financial limbo,…the list goes on.
Elon Musk incoherently lecturing about his philosophy of civics and “the will of the people”, talking about decorum while wearing an “Occupy Mars” tshirt and a ‘Dark MAGA’ trucker hat, and his idiot spawn goobering in the Oval Office may be the least absurd thing there to be reported from there in at least a week.
