One side will presume that Musk/DOGE is extra-constitutional, since he has not been elected or approved by Congress, and no statute passed by Congress created DOGE.   Could be that they are right.   

Although the other side will note that the vast majority of executive branch employees, consultants, and the like are not elected and are not approved, so they might be right.  No doubt Trump's team has found at least a semblance of authority for DOGE in some statute somewhere.  It is undeniable that the Executive has authority to spend it's budget, hire/fire executive employees and so on.

DOGE was created by executive order.  Here is an issue I bet is being litigated:  Was that order outside/within the scope of Trump's authority?  This is exactly the kind of issue ripe for a Supreme Court ruling, because other agencies have historically been created by statute.   Gimme a minute and I am going to do some googling.

I do not think it ever gets this far.  As you said, we will see."


Oh, Jim Brown HAS put it out there as a possibility, with his "we will see" comment above, which indicates that he believes that "Trump cancelling future elections" IS a possibility.  Only a complete idiot would postulate that Trump "cancelling" an election in our system is "possible", as YOU did above.  Now I expect it from You.  

Let me just be as blunt as I'm able with you.  We WILL NOT SEE Trump cancelling an election.  Got it?  It Will NEVER Happen.  

There is NO scenario in this nation where the President of the US could arrange for the Congress to render the SCOTUS irrelevant nor could he engage the Federal Marshalls to stand down and stand by while Trump, like Caesar anoints himself as a dictator.  

Those postulations are stupidity on steroids.  

His absurd thoughts are bordering on the psychotic, are in your realm of freakshow thought.

IF he did not think it was possible, then he would not have mentioned it.  The fact that he says "I don't THINK It will happen" means that there exists in his warped mind the slightest possibility of Trump cancelling the next election. 

It does not exist, period.  That is hysterical, deranged fantasy on the part of Jim Brown, pure and simple as it gets.  There is ZERO possibility that Trump would or could CANCEL future elections, as that deranged mental case or yourself suggests. 

The lunatic near Denver is adopting all the traits of the leftist psychos on this forum, however that feeds and riles up the rest of you deranged individuals.  

Perhaps that was his intent however I do believe he's gone over the deep end with his Trump Derangement Syndrome.  In other words, Jim Brown is OFF his nut.

You could comment on my rebuttal to you, however you can't with any solid reasoning support your position, 

That's all that's occurred.  

Jim Brown put forth an unhinged scenario of Trump "cancelling" further elections, which cannot happen in this country as he's asserted, that it is "Possible".

Nothing could be further from the truth, which is evidence that Jim Brown is either A) Lying, or B) Unhinged to the point of lunacy.

If it CAN occur, then explain how that situation manifests itself.

Since neither You, Jim Brown, or the DB in Michigan will be able to do so, therefore I submit that what he offered up is pure fantasy and delusion.  

Those are the facts, whether you admit it or not.

Teixeira in 2021 views through his highly accurate crystal ball:

"Given that Democrats are becoming more and more dependent on the white college vote—the key group that delivered their victory in 2020—while actually losing ground among nonwhite working class voters, this ideological mismatch between the two groups of Democrats could assume ever-greater importance in future elections, depending on which group has the upper hand in determining the Democratic party “brand”. To the extent issues and rhetoric that appeal mostly to college-educated white liberals are promoted, there could be serious attrition among working class nonwhites who find such issues and rhetoric unappealing."
