PRO TIP: EXECUTIVE ORDERS ARE NOT LAWS!

I explain this in today's post on No Longer A Kid Rock's weird-ass photo op in the Oval Office —
link to the whole thing is here: bit.ly/4jiSGf7
thanks for reading!
Donny’s emotional support has-been while Donny signed an executive order on who even gives a shit at this point. can I just remind everyone of something that seems to have been forgotten? executive orders are not laws. "Executive orders are issued from the executive branch of the government, specifically the U.S. President. An executive order is not a law in the sense that it does not go through the legislative process. It is not binding on everyone, only on employees of the executive branch." that’s why so many of Donny’s EOs have been so easily smacked down by judges. when Mad King Donny decrees that all his subjects must wear underpants on their head, the judiciary will step in to say not so fast, Donny, only executive branch employees need humiliate themselves. Donny’s fascistic blizzard of unconstitutional executive orders are being treated as laws of the land only because a Republican-controlled Congress — aided and abetted by the compliant scribblers of the corporate-controlled media — are allowing them to be treated as such.

Lawrence Tribe is what you call a "credible voice." Believe him. What can be done to stop this coup?

* Lawfare - aggressive litigation to stop takeovers

* Commercial pressure - contact board members + s/h of Musk co's to demand his dismissal

* Boycotts of Trump/Musk interests

* Public actions

BEWARE THE TECHNOZOMBIE APOCALYPSE:

Elon Musk’s stormtroopers are hollowing out and replacing the innards of the DOJ, FBI, Office of Personnel Management, Treasury Department, and dozens of other federal agencies with technocrats loyal to him and his frontman Donald Trump.

It’s an inside coup.
