If the government can pay a foreign state to imprison you and, in so doing, remove you from the protection of US law, the Constitution is worthless.

I think this is our future unless someone stops him. Musk’s plan for X has been for it to replace the entire banking system. His keen interest in seizing control of Treasury payments (and its tech) may forebode an intention to have such payments go through X www.theverge.com/2023/10/26/2...

Wonder how the people of color who voted for Trump feel after Trump just LITERALLY legalized "Whites only" hiring by federal contractors. And yes he really just did that:
Trump revoked an Executive Order from 1965 that was part of enforcing Civil Rights Act that "prohibits federal contractors from discriminating on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin.” Trump legalized discrimination by federal contractors
