That's supposed to be permitted in a democracy. If this egregious assault on civil liberties stands, what's to stop His Royal Orangeness from arresting American citizens who support any cause his regime doesn't like? That's what Putin does.

We thought the veil had irreversibly slipped when he bragged about sexual assault on camera.We assumed he had no more chances when he attempted a coup.We believed that 34 criminal convictions (and another 17 pending) would matter.It never mattered. It just shifted the goal posts.Even on this specific issue; it didn't make a difference to his supporters when we learned that Kremlin representatives had met his campaign officials in Trump Tower and offered to help get him elected. It couldn't turn the party against him when he was found to have extorted Zelenskyy, withholding aid unless he opened a phony investigation into Hunter Biden.And when Trump stood next to Putin and declared that he believed him over his own intelligence agencies,... less

Just goes to show that you can be the wealthiest man in the world and still have no class. He's not right in the head.
I hate to say I told you so, but ...It took Hitler 53 days to dismantle the constitutional republic that was Weimar Germany. Trump hasn't been back in for 53 days yet.

This allowed DOGE to bypass traditional bureaucratic obstacles and immediately begin operations without requiring new legislation or congressional approval. The Origins: Obama’s 2014 Agency During the Obama administration in 2014, a lesser-known agency was created with a broad mandate to modernize government operations, streamline efficiencies, and reduce wasteful spending. The agency was originally positioned under the Executive Office of the President (EOP), meaning that it had direct ties to the White House but had minimal visibility or major operational impact. Key Features of the 2014 Agency: Already had a budget allocated from discretionary executive funds Came with regulatory authority over gov... less

“Well, he is a d**k,” Garcia responded. “I also think he is harming the American public in an enormous way. What the American public wants is for us to bring actual weapons against Elon Musk to this bar fight,” he continued. “This an actual fight for democracy, for the future of this country.”
