    How we got here and what next?

    Mr. Brock, I read 2 of your posts and could not agree with you more. We are no doubt watching our government bit by bit being dismantled by a malignant narcissistic felon and his opportunistic, rich, greedy cronies. Donald Trump and his cronies have been encouraged and enabled along the way by many. It was the supreme court decision to grant immmunity to our felon of a president that I believe has caused confusion and a delay in getting people to act on all of the serious crimes that are being committed by Trump, Musk and others in the house that belongs to the people that did not elect Musk for any office. When people are honest, law abiding citizens they rely on laws to deal with others that break them. Unfortunately laws take time. The democrats have been dealing with a felon that has been given the message that there will be no consequences for any actions that he takes while president so why should he care about breaking laws. He is almost 80 years old and probably does not feel at this point that he has much more to lose. If I blame anyone, it is the supreme court. Where are they now, or ever? They just sit on their high thrones while they watch the democrats scramble while trying to figure out the appropriate actions to take in a situation that no government official prior to Trump would ever have anticipated encountering. After being impeached, not re-elected and then being responsible for an insurrection, how the hell is it that anyone could possibly be permitted to run for president? Is it because he was a well known TV star? Certainly it wasn't because of his success in business. A successful business man does not claim bankruptcy on an ongoing basis. Felons are not even allowed to vote in this country! I guess this is all water under the damm and we are here now with Elon's hands in the money jar and Trump with his magical thinking and grandstanding causing us to be on the verge of WWIII. Elon was not elected by anyone. He has accessed the treasury and people's personal information. He is a private citizen that has committed serious crimes. He may be rich and have many businesses but he is still a citizen like you and me. So, why don't they just cart his ass off to jail like they would if it were you or me committing these crimes. These offenses are not permitted even if he is being directed by the president. What are they waiting for? I can understand the need to be clear about what is going on but it seems quite obvious at this point that there is criminal activity that day by day is causing American citizens to become less safe. I shutter to think what is happening to the money in the treasury that Elon and possibly others have access to. Democrats are not being provided with any information concerning what Trump and Musk are doing and planning. This is not business as usual. This is not the time to worry about individual political welfare. It is time to act now and consider politics when we still have a democracy!
