"SNIP..........

“Acting Social Security commissioner Leland Dudek said Friday that he is consulting with agency lawyers and the Justice Department as he threatens to shut down the agency in response to a court ruling blocking Elon Musk’s team from accessing sensitive taxpayer data,” the Washington Post reports.

“Such a dramatic move would be unprecedented in the agency’s history and would immediately begin halting benefit payments for millions of Americans.”

Stop with the threats. Do it and see what happens. I guarantee they will not like the backlash from everyone. Maybe it is just the thing to wake people up to the ruination of our country.

MAGA seniors will demand Musk be allowed to go on his fishing trip. They aren’t going to turn on Trump and will just blame the Democrats for getting in the way.

I hope I’m wrong, but far too many people are buying into the “He’s just looking for fraud snd waste” excuse.

Then big brokerage firms.

It remains my thesis that plunder is the main end game.
