I'd prefer Musk move on to other targets rather than the Pelosi's of the world. It's common knowledge they have all been involved with insider trading and is how they enriched themselves. Not sure what can be done about it at this point. You are not going to embarrass or shame these people. He is working for Trump for a limited time. Keep cutting the fat.
Now if he can expose they have been accepting payments from foreign sources in exchange for influence and they can be jailed that would be something worth while.

Not sure if DOGE going after politicians for insider trading is a good idea, but someone or some agency damn sure should! The Feds went after that hardened desperado Martha Stewart for some kind of FTC shenanigans and when she lied about the deal, she got an all expenses paid vacation to Alderson. If its good enough for Martha, its good enough for politicians!

It is time to just start ignoring these judges. They remind me of the Robin Williams joke where the only ability of the British Police to stop a crime while they are unarmed is to yell, "Stop! Or, or I'll say stop again!".
By ignoring these judges, it will force the these issues to be heard by higher level courts or the Supreme Court. At that point it will force Roberts hand and could show his true motivations (I do not think it is to protect the relevance of the court, I think it is to protect his own ass). And while we are at it, if any of the Supremes have had any dirty dealings that the dems were aware of and have used against the court, then it is time for the President to also use it, but go nuclear with it. Put it out there in a big way, like a nationally broadcast event with receipts.
I am done with the courts. They are mostly illegitimate in my opinion (lower level courts specifically).

Well, people in my life (even fellow Trump supporters) thought I was a loon for suggesting no court have the ability to stall Trump's agenda but thankfully our party is starting to recognize the need to remove judicial oversight from interfering with the executive branch. I'm pleased to see Trump is also hinting at a third term. None of these things were on my bingo card but the wins just keep coming.

There will be no Trump's 3rd term, because that would require a constitutional amendment to repeal the 22nd Amendment. Not going to happen, considering the current divided states of America. Not being a Negative Nancy. Just being realistic.

Trump administration deports more than 100,000 illegal migrants in first 70 days of second term
President Donald Trump's new administration has deported over 100,000 illegal migrants since taking office on January 20, and arrested more than 110,000.
The numbers are a combination of arrests and deportations by both U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and Customs and Border Protection (CBP), an ICE official told Just The News on Tuesday.
The news comes as illegal border crossings hit a new low under the Trump administration, with Border Patrol reportedly encountering just 7,181 migrants in March, Trump's border czar Tom Homan posted on X.
"It is a far cry from the more than 11,000 a day that we saw for a time period under Biden," Homan said. "The men and women of the Border Patrol have proven what they can accomplish when they are allowed to do their job and complete the mission of their agency."
It is not clear how many of the people arrested have been convicted of committing crimes outside of being in the U.S. illegally, or have been accused of crimes. The Trump administration said its first priority was deporting violent criminals.

Well it isn't 100% true, but it is 99.8% true. There is a very narrow loop hole. Trump would only be banned from being elected a third time, but is not banned from serving a third term. So technically he could run as Vice President under say Vance. Assuming they won, Vance would become the 48th President then resign, leaving Trump the 49th President.
Could it happen? Almost certainly not. But it's not impossible. Who would have thought Trump would become #47 four years ago?
God Bless and Protect our Beloved President, Donald John Trump.

I don't think Vance, or anyone else for that matter, having fought tooth and nail for, and won the most powerful position in the world, would then turn around and give it to someone else, even if that's his mentor.

Yeah, just fantasy. Never going to happen. I'll be back here in 6 years to eat two servings of crow, if it comes to pass.

Insider trading is illegal and should be prosecuted. However I'm more concerned about politicians getting kick backs and direct monies paid into shell companies that are funneling back into their pockets. I don't care which party your from.... if you're doing this, you go!
