@GottaLaff This is so ridiculous!
@mcourcel And by ridiculous you mean horrifying
@GottaLaff They are taking a wrecking ball to the government. This is a bloodless coup thus far. I wonder how long it will stay that way?
@RegGuy Until we win
@GottaLaff In Trump and Musk's America, consumers don't need protecting; they are just there to be exploited.
@Jgmeadows Consumers for only their goods
@GottaLaff next up will be eliminating the FDIC, and the crypto bros will be sig heiling as people rush to the bank.
@jodmentum They’ll eliminate everything they can.
@jodmentum @GottaLaff I thought they already shut down FDIC…
@GottaLaff Unfreakingbelieveable!! When do we riot!
@GottaLaff Why waste any money defending consumers when the whole point of your administration is to fleece the life out of them?
@GottaLaff The banality of evil.
@GottaLaff the CFPB helped regular people when faced with unfair business practices. This is on brand for the current administration, to hurt regular people.
@SanjoSez Oh without question
