And THAT is a political price that Trump can't, or won't, pay. Trump has gotten squishy on foreign policy (letting Lindsay Graham negotiate with foreign governments, forwarding a neocon plan) and fraud and waste. Trump is acting like somebody has something on him. Short version is, if Musk lawyers up and the courts find he went rouge while heading DOGE, which there is plenty of evidence for, given what we were told about how he was and how he wasn't by Trump, there is a very good chance the courts will rule Trump has to undue everything Musk did. I'm so happy. Are you happy? Just a couple more MAGA morons making my day. T

I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.

Quote:Originally posted by second: Wake Up and Smell the Corruption How far we've fallen, how fast By Paul Krugman | Jun 06, 2025 https://paulkrugman.substack.com/p/wake-up-and-smell-the-corruption Musk believes that he delivered the presidency to Trump, and may well be right. He gave Trump and his allies a lot of money; he helped Trump regain confidence after his disastrous debate; he brought in the bro vote. And Musk clearly believes that this entitles him to receive special favors from the White House — not policies he likes in general, but contracts and specific actions that benefit him personally. He even seems to have imagined that he was effectively co-president. That is, he simply assumed that U.S. policy was for sale, and thought he had bought it. Trump, for his part, hasn’t responded by saying “How dare you suggest such a thing?” Instead, he has threatened retaliation — again, not in the form of general policies Musk won’t like but in the form of specific actions aimed to hurt Musk’s bottom line. Steve Bannon is even calling for Musk’s deportation. The point is that both men start from the presumption that the U.S. government is an entirely corrupt enterprise, with the president in a position to hand out personal favors or engage in personal acts of vengeance. And everyone takes it for granted that both men are right. Musk’s only mistake was in underestimating the depths of Trump’s lack of principles, imagining that he was the kind of corrupt politician who stays bought, as opposed to a guy who always breaks his promises the moment it seems expedient to do so. In short, we no longer have rule of law, just rule by the Leader’s whims. We have abandoned everything America was supposed to stand for. I don’t blame either Trump or Musk for America’s degeneration. I blame their enablers, who have refused, again and again, to enforce the Constitution or place any restraints on Trump’s abuses. And yes, this means Republicans. You don’t have to love the Democratic Party to recognize that it does, in fact, expel politicians who engage in egregious corruption. Oh, and anyone suggesting that Democrats should reach out to Musk is a fool. Yes, he’s currently Trump’s enemy, but he’s evil, and his brand is toxic. Better to see if there is anyone left in the G.O.P. who is finally ready to take a stand on behalf of democracy and law. But don’t get your hopes up.
