Good Grief!

It’s entirely plausible that #PresidentMusk, #VicePresidentTrump and their DEI-free #CabinetOfDeplorables didn’t craft their plan to destabilize the country all on their own. It almost feels like they just plugged into #Grok, Musk’s bespoke AI chatbot, for a step-by-step guide on how to quietly dismantle a superpower.

The silver lining? #Grok also seems to offer some surprisingly viable strategies for fighting back.

Republicans should be just as outraged as Democrats over this breach of highly classified war plans. A party that claims to support the military can’t just brush off something this reckless—it put lives at risk and broadcasted sheer incompetence to our enemies. Everyone involved must be held accountable and permanently stripped of access to classified intelligence.

“While these cabinet officials will attend meetings and nod their heads at whatever Trump says, the early indications strongly suggest they won’t be setting policy. That will be reserved for the czars, the internal White House appointees that Trump has made in parallel, and who are key to the emerging vision of centralizing power under the president-elect’s thumb.”
