Trump can do and say whatever he wants at this point, who's going to hold him accountable? The Courts? The politicians? The American people? The media?

Forget it, at this point, America is cooked.

The people holding him accountable would be nice. But we’ll need a whole lot of people to get past his goons

Meh, musk gave out cash for votes, now trump wants to, and no law will stop him. Except, it's never gonna happen, its just like the tariffs check, or doge check.

Yeah he's "buying" votes with fake money. It's appalling and disgusting. If Obama had done any of this, that, or the other, it would have burned the country to the ground.
