In the past week or so, the courts have begun to try to set some boundaries on the Musk–Miller–Trump administration’s early blitz of recklessness.
. . .
This judicial review provides at least a small reprieve, hope that some of the administration’s most destructive impulses will be stopped. Or at least pared back. But even with the courts stepping up, and even with the reality of the administration’s ineptitude sinking in, this early Musk–Miller–Trump blitz remains very—maybe irreparably—damaging. Of course, there are a lot of moles to whack: the U.S. Agency for International Development and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau are being dismantled at an alarming rate, and the court system is not known for being nimble. The administration is betting, perhaps rightly, that at least some of its thoughtless, lawless efforts will slip through the cracks.
But even if the courts caught them all—and even if every court facing each lawless escapade said, “Nope, that’s not a thing”—still the entire process would be doing serious damage to our institutions. Think of it as someone spoofing your identity and going on a shopping spree with your credit cards. Even if the goon gets caught, you still have to go store by store to argue that the fraudulent purchase wasn’t legitimate and hope the debt is forgiven. And all the while, perhaps long after all the debts are dealt with, the torrent of uncertainty kills your credit score.
One another means violent force and fraud.
… Because that’s fraud. I support the government protecting individuals from fraud.
Police are here to protect you from others, that’s what I said the government is here for.
Actually it’s the left that yells acab abolish the police, abolish ice
Organize to prevent outside attack means the military should protect us from foreign enemies. So no I’m not objectively wrong, actually by your own quote you provided with a source, I’m objectively right
No, you said it was ONLY for that and you’re 100% wrong on it. Government builds streets, installs sidewalks, and street lamps, all the little things we take for granted that the private sector can’t because they can’t monetize it.
Unless you want to pay a toll for sidewalk access? Or for lingering under a streetlight?
These are the things government does.
None of that falls under your quote
It’s exactly what the purpose of government is.
You can keep repeating that but it won’t make fall into your definition you provided
