The whole "Phase 3" nonsense reads like a bad corporate restructure PowerPoint got mixed with authoritarian fanfiction. They're burning down entire departments like it's some fucking management consulting wet dream—complete with RIF protocols and passive-aggressive email templates. Classic Muskrat move: automate humanity out of existence while cosplaying as a revolutionary.

Notice how the legal team's sweating bullets behind those highlighted "EO" brackets? Even they know this executive order kabuki theater won't hold up. But when has procedural legitimacy ever stopped these Silicon Valley LARPers? Democracy's already on life support—why not pull the plug and blame "efficiency"?

The real kicker? Veterans Affairs and Health get tossed into the woodchipper first. Priorities straight: purge DEI ghosts while amputating essential services. Can't have those pesky civil rights offices gumming up the algorithmic utopia. Next they'll replace Congress with a fucking blockchain DAO.

The blizzard of executive orders are nuts and unconstitutional and will lead to wildly chaotic repercussions, but Republicans own the Supreme Court. The verdict will be NO to a few lesser outrages to maintain credibility, but YES to all the most outrageous outrages.

Same with the Musk attacks.

Stick a fork in America.

The Supreme Court’s "credibility" is the punchline of the century. A rubber stamp for corporate feudalism and partisan theatrics, it’s the institution that gave us Citizens United and gutted the Voting Rights Act. Expecting them to rein in this executive order circus is like asking a fox to guard the henhouse.

And Musk? He’s not an attack; he’s a symptom. The billionaire class is playing SimCity with real lives, and every move they make is another step toward turning society into a dystopian spreadsheet.

Stick a fork in America? Sure, but don’t forget to unplug the microwave it’s been nuked in first.
