A private, unelected, non-government-officeholder admitted that he took it upon himself to not only change the course of some 80ish years of American foreign policy without warning to anyone involved, but to do so by actively disabling military hardware and resources being used in the field by friendly combatants via a non-sanctioned, personal executive decision that led to the deaths of (still technically) allied soldiers.

And then he admitted to it.

Treason's not the exact word I'd use. But it suffices.

Lest anyone fail to see the connection, this is what Citizens United and other corrupt SCOTUS rulings over the last fifty years have brought us: when corporations are assigned the legal rights of citizens, they become literally ungovernable.

I hope Uncle Clarence is enjoying his goddamn mobile home, because he (and other justices like him) have as much blood on their hands as this asshole does. Musk was only able to do this because both Congress and SCOTUS have abdicated their powers, and the rule of law, to the oligarchs.
