    “I feel terrible for the American people because it’s not the American people, and it’s not even elected officials, it’s one person,”

    Like hell. Congress is the one thing with the power to end this madness. The Republicans in control of both houses are absolutely responsible as they are doing literally nothing to rein in Trump’s madness.

      The vast majority of people either voted for Trump or didn’t vote at all. Americans chose this madness either through action or inaction. They should feel accountable for the forthcoming consequences. Democracy in action.

        I initially read this as if Musk said he’d have them killed, since in EVE Online “to primary” someone means for a fleet commander to call someone out as the primary target and have their fleet start shooting at them.

        If a threat from an unelected foreign Nazi is all it takes to keep you from doing your job, you’re not fit to hold public office.

      Agreed. It’s 80% of the elected officials at this point. It’s unfortunate that foreign puppets are in power.
