Much less Co-president Musk. In Trump’s joint speech recently he drew a healthy round of laughter when he averred ‘the era of the unelected bureaucrat running government is over!’
It kills me how a US Congressman has no idea whatsoever what the Constitution says about appointments as it relates to federal judges. What a fucking embarrassment this idiot is to his constituents.
Imagine we have to replace every federal judge every 4 years because the president gets to politically apoint them and make a biased mess of laws.
The scariest thing isn’t Mike Collins’ statement.
The scariest thing is the number of gullible voters who will think Collins makes a good point.
No one voted for Musk and federal judges are appointed by POTUs and confirmed by Congress. So technically they are voted into office just not by the people directly.
Almost like judges are appointed based on merit(supposedly) rather than a popularity contest
why is talk like this – from elected officials – not considered treason or secession or some shit like that. why is this even allowed?
I question whether he honestly took his oath to defend and uphold the Constitution. He clearly didn’t take an oath to *understand* the Constitution.

I don’t remember electing Musk as President
The Senate does that, dipshit.
Or Elon Musk for that matter.
Mike Collins doesn’t remember anything…
I don’t remember voting for Elon Musk, either.
I don’t remember voting for Pres Musk or Donny.
That’s the new spin now?
Am I the only one being driven absolutely mad by these piss takes from government officials?
It’s disappointing that a U.S. Representative doesn’t understand the basics of American civics!
Dan Bongino.
Every Senator does.
Not the burn we think it is. Proponents of executive theory would read this as agreeing with him. “Exactly! Leave it up to the executive branch. He is the guy that got elected and has the authority to appoint them.”
The people that did vote for him were aware who’d be in his cabinet and supported it. One of the many reasons many people voted for him in the first place!
Lucky for everyone you don’t get to.
