            This is an absolute scandal.
Trump and Marco Rubio abandoned American workers and their families abroad, delaying waivers to provide for their safe return to the United States.
As these civil servants lost their possessions, housing, and money, Elon Musk was slandering them with bogus accusations.

            I have seen people get thrown face-down onto a hard floor for failing to follow a judge's orders. 
I have seen people sent to Rikers Island for refusing to follow a judge's order. 
Courts have plenty of hard power. But they only have practice using it against poor people.

            I sincerely don’t know why people aren’t physically stopping those dorks. Move shit. Lock doors. Lose the keys. Everyone switch seats. Turn off all the lights. Switch the signs on the elevator lobby. Make the settings all silly. Use a different language. Wear costumes. Fill rooms with balloons
