[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am okay with it, the swamp and control in DC is very real.  While I no longer live there, I did for thirty plus years, the entitlement and sense of power was everywhere.  I truly did believe most of those people were untouchable so it's' sorta of poetic to see them sweating under the collar as it were, also unbelievable at the same time.  This will make a great movie one day and yes, I am enjoying watching the turmoil.  Incidentally, I don't think it's as bad as most of you are making it out to be, nothing wrong with the incoming administration having access to all of this information.  I think once it became clear there would be roadblocks, which is probably all the way back to the election month, they knew they'd have no choice.[/quote]

Hard to know what you mean by "those people." 
The fact of the matter is that spending is appropriated by Congress, which is made up of people we elect. Some more committed to their constituents and principles, some more committed to their egos and ideology. But we elect them, period. Appropriations have to start in the House. The President is not given a line item veto. It is his JOB to carry out the laws, not make them.

Elon is not elected. He has made no oath to serve the Constitution. Although he has top-secret clearance, there are areas that even his Space-X involvement does not permit, and that is via contract between Space-X and the government; Space-X lawyers have told him not to ask for additional access due to 1) his drug use and 2) his contacts with foreign governments. The stuff he is doing with executive agencies is extra-legal, and there is certainly the potential for him to use his power criminally--IF Trump allowed the DOJ to even prosecute him, he would pardon him.

I live in a red state with a particular boot-licking senator, and even that senator made a statement to the press in our state he has concerns about the power of Congress being invaded.
