When is it clear to the DoJ that he (Musk) is a domestic terrorist? When will his government contracts be cancelled? When will his citizenship be revoked for unAmerican activities? This goes beyond freedom of speech to threats to murder democracy. It can’t be overstated.
Yes, indeed. I would have had my security clearance revoked in a heartbeat. Then probably fired. The oath i took 32 years ago when i started was sacred to me.
Donald and his bankroller Schmukz by now both would have had their citizenships revoked for crimes against the state If the justice system had actually worked. Simple math says that if big man took $ 100 billion of his stash and showered it upon 100 million voters, each person would get $1000 per their vote. The power of money is gargantuan in opposition to the common good. We need to vote in the Dem ticket
total ballot and then deal with the reprisals from the reactionaries as fast as they are flung.
Schmukz doesn't have a scientific thought in his big head, else he wouldn't put down real scientists about climate disaster and public safety. Besides, the decrepit contraptions that he unleashes on the world are "unsafe at any speed".
I forget if it was Tesla or SpaceX, a while back when he bought Twitter someone who worked at one of the two did some interviews. They said the only reason the company didn't go under when he bought it out from under the founders was that management had a system to avoid implementing his insane ideas. The people at Twitter didn't realize that was needed.
Thank you, RuthKub. Here's a prime example of how big money, in this instance from Musk's windfall profit from PayPal, can ruin a promising company by malfeasance from an unschooled and manipulative firebrand. Musk is way overrated as a businessman, and it shows in the highly erratic performances of his enterprises.
How can we get money out of politics?! And good question Sharon. Aren't there any regs about campaign donations? Or do these clowns just ignore them? I'm frantic with worry that idiots with $$ are manipulating and buying our elections/candidates. If the $$ were regulated, and the electoral college was no longer active, I would feel confident in Harris/Walz and our democracy.
According to one search, the FEC enforces the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 with a campaign donation cap of$3,300. So I am not sure how someone can donate millions.
It is a conflict of interest on multiple fronts: owning SpaceX - and making money off of military, science, and personal interests like his Starlink satellite program - is just part of it. The other part is that he profits off of his propaganda machine known as X. Thankfully, other countries are clamping down on X, and his SpaceX contracts are starting to get scrutinized by our government. Even if the TFG loses this election, Musk could still reap in obscene amounts of money off the government.
Some of these are conferred upon him by the military through the new branch known as Space Force. Unfortunately, it sounds like he's the sole owner of SpaceX which means he needs the clearances to make sure his company makes the launches. He may be creating a monopoly by launching private things like Starlink as well as scientific satellites and military ones which may be reason for the DOJ to step in to invoke the Sherman Act and have his company broken up where his company gets certain contracts and the other companies handle the others.
I didn’t think he was a citizen when both parents were born out of Country he in Africa.
He’s friends with Putin has multi Fed Gov Contract that should’ve been canceled when he started playing politics with the state of California & Governor Newsom, that’s when all this started when he moved to Texas, he became very odd.
Musk Disowning his oldest because they chose to be identified as a girl that Musk disapproved.
Musk shutting down Starlink over Ukraine because Putin asked him to that should’ve been red flag several years ago!
It seem like these millionaires and billionaires are always wanting more money, power nothing is ever good enough for them always more.
Twitter has become a right wing extremist site.
These big Media Co are to blame for Republican Party, Musk attacks on our Election not reporting on it. Musk has an endgame he doesn’t do anything without gaining something?
Do you think he’s helping Russia? Like When he shutdown Starlink over Ukraine.
I feel like we as a Country are losing our Democracy right in front of our eyes. Our election & Country is so fragile!
I read 35% of Americans will vote for
DJ T!
That sad no matter their reason.
I’ve cried too many times about DJT getting into our WH again.
I fear for my grandchildren that they will not have the same right as we have in the past.
Look at the countries that Donald Trump looks at as strong? Will they interfere in our elections? I think they’re going to try. We MUST have a strong & secure election.
Even Musks mother is as bad spreading advice how to vote illegally blaming the Democrats. I find these people sick. There’s something wrong and with their brain.
In America we have 250m voters only 150m that voted in 2020, 35% lean hard right! Only 80m voted for Biden granted it was enough however why would so many Americans vote for a convicted felon, THEIF, adjudicated rapist, a fraud and a person that caused an insurrection? that right there should make at least half of those Americans Not vote for him again.
Look at all the election deniers who are working in official positions in the elections in seven or eight states with Corp Media staying quiet about it & why?
What I read today was Arizona is leaning towards DJT how is that even possible?
Sorry for my Rant I don’t get have convo with family anymore since DJT. my family have been poisoned by his lies. I will not speak politics with them anymore after a year of not talking I can’t do that again. I lost my daughter to cancer six months ago and I swore I would not let anything come in between my family again not even him. He’s destroyed a lot of families in this country mine was one of them and it’s so sad. Fox News lies cont even after their lawsuit. Which should’ve been more $ as they have not stopped.
Rant on, Nana. So sorry to hear of your daughter. And I completely understand wanting to keep in touch with other family members. I have a dear friend who is walking that tightrope too. Peace and Love from a stranger.
My heart breaks for the loss of your daughter, Nana. I don’t know how we can convince the Trumpers that they are being had. My brother is a Trumper and I suspect that he really doesn’t know what it will mean for him since Trump is “his people” and that he only watches Fox News because it supports his beliefs. My heart breaks for all those lost to the Trump cult.
I have the same brother type in my family, Teri. Our 2 elder brothers are gone. All were Trumpers. The one who remains is a former Green Beret and I’m noticing troubling coded messaging on his IG feed. There are plans for Nov by those with weapons and ammunition. We are living in dark times.
I followed those same online conversations on Parler before the 2020 election and was horrified by what they were planning on doing. Which they ultimately did. I’m absolutely positive that they have honed their skills and streamlined their plan to do it again . I’m petrified .
Sorry to hear about your daughter.💔That must be gut wrenching.😢
I don't believe MSM "polls." They want to keep all of the chaos going.
Unbelievable that a convicted felon can roam wherever he wants and turn people against democracy.
Our state (Washington) has mail in voting with tight security, and the ability to track your vote to make sure it has been counted. Also there are 80 drop boxes in the Seattle area (King County).
Mail in voting should be national. It is telling that something so simple is not instituted.🥲
Thanks. I understand your feelings. Sorry for the loss of your daughter. Please continue to encourage Americans to see Trump and Musk for who they really are.
Greed has really changed this country. Looking back, I see why the government did not allow corporations to get too big without breaking them up. Musk needs to be stopped. He is extremely dangerous.
His actions in his personal life shows that if he does not care about his own flesh and blood, how or why would he care about this country? It is simply, he does not. He is looking to gain more money and more power at the expense of uneducated people.
Sad to read your comment (I prefer the word ‘share’)… helps me understand how families get torn apart by the mix of ‘stories’ which are fabricated to twist the truth… you’d have to have had a month or more of daily practice to untangle the truth from the ‘make-believe’ with these angry, emotionally damaged, spiritually empty men.
DOJ. Forget about election interference. Do the peoples work or step down. Declare Trump and Musk "foreign agents." These two psychos are the Chernobyl Twins. Just what we want, somebody on the spectrum with a chaotic idiot 6th grader.
Nothing wrong with being on the spectrum. That said, he doesn't belong as the owner of (what once was) one of the most popular social media platforms on the internet. If he hadn't been born with a silver spoon in his mouth he might have ended up in a supervised living situation. His buddy the orange clown needs that as well.
He is only corralling the foot soldiers. Anyone above that so far is free as a bird. If he had started on Trump right away perhaps he would be in jail by now instead of a major candidate for President. He is a MAJOR disappointment
I couldn’t agree more. I really hate feeling Biden has not done everything he could as POTUS to protect our democracy and Americans, especially women. Garland is Biden’s biggest mistake that he refuses to address. He should have been replaced by Sally Yates after it was clear Garland was not interested in protecting America from homegrown fascist. We shouldn’t be dealing with Trump at all, especially in a presidential election. We shouldn’t have Scott Perry R-PA, up to his neck in investigations be up for reelection or any of the 147 members of Congress who committed treason by refusing to certify the 2020 election? Who we know through others with first hand knowledge and testimony of the men and women involved in the January 6th coup been let off scot free to run for public office again?
These people are criminals we need protection from. They are openly promoting fascism and committing crimes that are out in the open while Garland turns a blind eye. The pay-offs certain members of the Supreme Court have happily availed themselves to with zero consequences for decades.
Now we know Trump gave Putin testing equipment during the pandemic for his personal use while Americans died? Treason again and completely ignored by the DOJ. I’m sure then AG Bill Barr signed off on that move. What the heck is going on? We need a rules based approach to these vile things. The laws have been shredded, our country is on life support, it’s the MSM’s fault. If we survive this most recent attack on our democracy, accountability is first on the list to bring back sanity and order to society. The MSM will become irrelevant with only themselves to blame.
Sadly, the way our legal system works, ever piece of the investigation becomes another brick in the wall, the foundation. As each brick, co-conspirator is jailed, the case becomes more solid with no way out. Of course, the January 6 case started with 1500 people, most unidentified. It is only through this will the house be built. Now there are Republicans in Congress who think they are off the hook as they are yet to be put on a list for investigation. The law is intricate and when you are as slimy as the guy they want to nail, everything below has to be cemented into place. Do I wish they could hurry up, sure! But do I want him to go free on a technicality, Hell no!
Blame McConnell. If it wasn't for him Garland would be on the Supreme Court. He is doing something, but IMO Jack Smith should have been appointed on Day One of his taking office as AG.
He should have his citizenship revoked and he should be deported back to So Africa. He has a Tesla plant in SE Austin, Tx and the waste water from the plant was being dumped in Texas’ Colorado River, which flows down to the gulf. He had to pay a fine, but I’m pretty sure it didn’t hurt his pocket book. He’s a pig. However, in Texass money talks and bs walks.
Most likely because he owns X/Twitter & Starlink. Piss him off and he can &/or will cut the government, stock market, or anyone off. Silent blackmailing.
I've been battling with this. On the one hand, I agree that anyone receiving the amount of money Musk is from government contracts should not be participating in the undermining of our democracy. I think the government should rethink those contracts.
However, I also do not want to live in a country where the government cancels contracts because of someone's politics.
That damned 1st Amendment sure complicates things!
Jen is absolutely spot on! Somebody get this done!
And also it should be illegal for him, whoever the hell he is to BUY the election for his buddy! He is saying he wants to be the head of a government agency, well we all know already THAT paying the candidate money in exchange for being put into the administration IS ILLEGAL! hello …ILLEGAL. so much of this is illegal, so put them in the clink, get them out of the country. And we think Trump should be arrested immediately for being a domestic terrorist! He’s terrorizing the victims of the last two hurricanes and anybody who thinks they may be on the short or the long list for deportation because this guy means business. He wants to do this. and you know if Godwilling Kamala wins, there will be chaos because magats will demand that they won. I hope all the military and police and whatever protections we have are ready to go so there’s no more destruction like that hideous January 6“love Fest “ as that Asshole describes it.
Trump will absolutely declare victory, regardless of the outcome . That’s a guarantee . Then the steal will be on, ending up in the House or Senate and/or the Supreme Court. They have a plan, folks, it’s in the works.
me too and I wish powerful people on the Left would. I don't even understand why so many influential people still post to their X accounts when they are diametrically opposed to Elon Musk.
It is amazing to me that those who are anti-mind litter, continue to post on it, to stay relevant, abreast of things, informed, whatever the rationale is. Litter should be as relevant as truth social. Don’t particularly understand why some other venue couldn’t usurp litters market.
Maybe the argument would be that it would only further silo information sources, but if some major influencers switched and stayed away and draw the traffic with them, as that occurred, maybe litter could have financials similar to truth social; the difference being that
the jumping bean can personally afford to find it infinitum.
My daughters would love to leave it. Unfortunately it’s the only way their favourite bands spread early info about their tours. But they use it for nothing else.
Without twitter, Mary wouldn’t have a big enough platform to spew her hatred for her uncle. It’s ironic that her uncle will protect her first amendment right to tweet her fits of rage😂🤡
I hate them both so much. Not sure why the government continues to do business with Elmo. He is the jumping errerror I mean walking definition of a security risrisk.
Having left Twitter when the first wave of ‘we are all leaving’ happened, I am so sad to see so many still are utilizing the platform. I get that it is entrenched in our communication style and it’s a reliable method to get news out quickly. I do not think the poisonous environment and lies and treachery of Elon Musk is worth it. To me, it’s much like turning your channel to Fox News….which I will never do. We vote every day with how we use our attention. Thank you Mary for providing us a safe space with real information and truth. ❤️
I never cared about twitter so I dont miss anything . But are you kidding? People actually giving up social media on principle?? Sooo many people live and die over that shit and wouldn’t ever consider giving it up over some mere political principle. I hate this obsession .
On the other hand, Donald has a dab hand of discarding his sycophants in the end. See Roy Cohn: Cohn molded Donald into John Gotti in a darker blue suit. But when Cohn got AIDS, Donald left him to die alone. Donald will take … then toss under the nearest bus.
I read a story yesterday about when Cohn was sick, and Donald gave him some "diamond" cufflinks. Roy showed them to Ivana, and she told him they were pewter and cubic zirconia and cheap and remarked that Donald had no class or something like that. It sounds right to me, trying to pass on a gift as diamond and silver.
This is not an election about different political positions or policies. This is an election between right and wrong. There is no way in hell that voting for a misogynist racist convicted felon is the right thing to do. I sure hope there are enough of us to overcome the misogyny, the racism, and the stupidity of the democracy haters on the other side.
And let us not forget a sexual assaulter, which as the judge remarked later would be commonly known as rape in that case. It is just that weird NY law the specifies some distinction in what is considered rape. I hope they change that.
Mom grew up in Germany during WWII, when he did his Golden Escalator Stunt she said "That man is a Fascist and if he gets into office we're in very big trouble!" And look what happened.
The enablers of Trump and Musk are part of this active intention to destroy our Republic and make the planet a playground for the sociopathic oligarchs and dictators.
Inheriting wealth with no moral compass is a sure path to insanity.
If I remember right wealth above a certain level is a risk factor for developing sociopathic tendencies. These people need to be heavily taxed for their own good.
So once again, we have an exclusivly self-serving individual, Musk-playing a conservative, doing exactly what he had accused "others" of doing, he's taken over X as his personal platform. He, or his minions, have posted more on X than probably all the posts on Truth Social. And filtering out anything negative to Trump. X is now a Maga-fest!
Where is the money going, very few ads, no billboards, not paying the rally venues. The only payment seems to be 10$ a rally goer but the must stay 20 minutes and take a picture of start of Rally to get paid.
Guess he needs to pay his legal bills- interest on the big one is 110,000$/day....
Yesterday on Facebook a person stated that FEMA can't help with the hurricanes because it is out of money. When I replied that this was a lie, she said she knows it is true because Elon Musk himself said so on X. I replied with a factual article from USA Today. It was all I could think to do.
Nothing good can ever come from two malignant narcissists banding together! I am absolutely gobsmacked at the amount of money these richy rich throw at the candidate of their choice in an election. This has to stop! Citizens United must be eliminated and contributions to campaigns must be intensely regulated to stop all of this dark money pouring into campaigns. The rich are buying these elections and then demanding their due when their candidate is elected. We, the American people, need to speak up loud and clear that this cannot be tolerated anymore! Vote blue, America, up and down the ballot!
When is it clear to the DoJ that he (Musk) is a domestic terrorist? When will his government contracts be cancelled? When will his citizenship be revoked for unAmerican activities? This goes beyond freedom of speech to threats to murder democracy. It can’t be overstated.
And his security clearances need to be REVOKED!!!
Yes, indeed. I would have had my security clearance revoked in a heartbeat. Then probably fired. The oath i took 32 years ago when i started was sacred to me.
Donald and his bankroller Schmukz by now both would have had their citizenships revoked for crimes against the state If the justice system had actually worked. Simple math says that if big man took $ 100 billion of his stash and showered it upon 100 million voters, each person would get $1000 per their vote. The power of money is gargantuan in opposition to the common good. We need to vote in the Dem ticket
total ballot and then deal with the reprisals from the reactionaries as fast as they are flung.
Schmukz doesn't have a scientific thought in his big head, else he wouldn't put down real scientists about climate disaster and public safety. Besides, the decrepit contraptions that he unleashes on the world are "unsafe at any speed".
I forget if it was Tesla or SpaceX, a while back when he bought Twitter someone who worked at one of the two did some interviews. They said the only reason the company didn't go under when he bought it out from under the founders was that management had a system to avoid implementing his insane ideas. The people at Twitter didn't realize that was needed.
Thank you, RuthKub. Here's a prime example of how big money, in this instance from Musk's windfall profit from PayPal, can ruin a promising company by malfeasance from an unschooled and manipulative firebrand. Musk is way overrated as a businessman, and it shows in the highly erratic performances of his enterprises.
Thank you, apparently tRump and musk went to the same school of greed.
Yep.
I thought there was a cap on how much one could contribute.
How can we get money out of politics?! And good question Sharon. Aren't there any regs about campaign donations? Or do these clowns just ignore them? I'm frantic with worry that idiots with $$ are manipulating and buying our elections/candidates. If the $$ were regulated, and the electoral college was no longer active, I would feel confident in Harris/Walz and our democracy.
According to one search, the FEC enforces the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 with a campaign donation cap of$3,300. So I am not sure how someone can donate millions.
Citizen's United pretty much gutted that.
ROTFLMFAO, that's hilarious !!!%
Why does he have security clearances?
What agency confers these?
He owns Space X. He launches most of our military satellites. He launches a lot of our scientific satellites.
Sounds like a conflict of interest, but I'm not an attorney.
It is a conflict of interest on multiple fronts: owning SpaceX - and making money off of military, science, and personal interests like his Starlink satellite program - is just part of it. The other part is that he profits off of his propaganda machine known as X. Thankfully, other countries are clamping down on X, and his SpaceX contracts are starting to get scrutinized by our government.

It seems the “Don” hands them out, president or not??
He has security contracts with the US government
Absofreakinglutely. Like-yesterday!!!!!!
And his passports too.
Musk wants America to become the new Apartheid Country of Nu South Africa, like his homeland was, when he was it's child.
I didn’t think he was a citizen when both parents were born out of Country he in Africa.
He’s friends with Putin has multi Fed Gov Contract that should’ve been canceled when he started playing politics with the state of California & Governor Newsom, that’s when all this started when he moved to Texas, he became very odd.

I struggle with murderous thoughts as I weep almost daily now for our children.
1300 children yet to be reunited with their families as Trump’s (GOP) result of permanent orphans. 😭😭🥵😡🤬
Musk is now a naturalized US citizen. Ugh.
They should revoke his citizenship and ship him back to So. Africa.
Ran across this. Slopes has it marked as unproven.

He is saying he wants to be the head of a government agency, well we all know already THAT paying the candidate money in exchange for being put into the administration IS ILLEGAL! hello …ILLEGAL. so much of this is illegal, so put them in the clink, get them out of the country. And we think Trump should be arrested immediately for being a domestic terrorist! He’s terrorizing the victims of the last two hurricanes and anybody who thinks they may be on the short or the long list for deportation because this guy means business. He wants to do this. and you know if Godwilling Kamala wins, there will be chaos because magats will demand that they won. I hope all the military and police and whatever protections we have are ready to go so there’s no more destruction like that hideous January 6“love Fest “ as that Asshole describes it.
Trump will absolutely declare victory, regardless of the outcome . That’s a guarantee . Then the steal will be on, ending up in the House or Senate and/or the Supreme Court. They have a plan, folks, it’s in the works.
Musk is just ONE of many AMERICAN "DOMESTIC TERRORISTS!" Trump and VANCE are at the TOP and LEAD these ENEMIES of AMERICA!!
The DOJ is neither.
Exactly
“X” out your Twitter account for good.
I did that when he took over!
me too and I wish powerful people on the Left would. I don't even understand why so many influential people still post to their X accounts when they are diametrically opposed to Elon Musk.
So did I….👍
I did that too!
It is amazing to me that those who are anti-mind litter, continue to post on it, to stay relevant, abreast of things, informed, whatever the rationale is. Litter should be as relevant as truth social. Don’t particularly understand why some other venue couldn’t usurp litters market.
Maybe the argument would be that it would only further silo information sources, but if some major influencers switched and stayed away and draw the traffic with them, as that occurred, maybe litter could have financials similar to truth social; the difference being that
the jumping bean can personally afford to find it infinitum.
Everyone should immediately cancel Twitter account. 😡😠
Substack works well.
🗽🇺🇲🇺🇦
My daughters would love to leave it. Unfortunately it’s the only way their favourite bands spread early info about their tours. But they use it for nothing else.
Good advice, but no need for me - I never had one.
Me, neither.
Good for you!
Already did when he bought it....
Without twitter, Mary wouldn’t have a big enough platform to spew her hatred for her uncle. It’s ironic that her uncle will protect her first amendment right to tweet her fits of rage😂🤡
Her uncle protects no one, Melanie.
You are fooling yourself if you think Donald protects anyone.
I suspect “Melanie” is a Russian bot. They often pose as women these days, with a generic female first name.
Report the comment, please to get it removed.
I hate them both so much. Not sure why the government continues to do business with Elmo. He is the jumping errerror I mean walking definition of a security risrisk.
Agree.
For sure!!
Agreed, but let's not disrespect the sweet little furry monster. Sesame Street is a thousand times better than Creeplon Musty
Having left Twitter when the first wave of ‘we are all leaving’ happened, I am so sad to see so many still are utilizing the platform. I get that it is entrenched in our communication style and it’s a reliable method to get news out quickly. I do not think the poisonous environment and lies and treachery of Elon Musk is worth it. To me, it’s much like turning your channel to Fox News….which I will never do. We vote every day with how we use our attention. Thank you Mary for providing us a safe space with real information and truth. ❤️
I never cared about twitter so I dont miss anything . But are you kidding? People actually giving up social media on principle?? Sooo many people live and die over that shit and wouldn’t ever consider giving it up over some mere political principle. I hate this obsession .
On the other hand, Donald has a dab hand of discarding his sycophants in the end. See Roy Cohn: Cohn molded Donald into John Gotti in a darker blue suit. But when Cohn got AIDS, Donald left him to die alone. Donald will take … then toss under the nearest bus.
His MO!
I read a story yesterday about when Cohn was sick, and Donald gave him some "diamond" cufflinks. Roy showed them to Ivana, and she told him they were pewter and cubic zirconia and cheap and remarked that Donald had no class or something like that. It sounds right to me, trying to pass on a gift as diamond and silver.
Doesn’t that sound exactly like something he’d do!!
Only if Leon is no longer of use to him.
This is not an election about different political positions or policies. This is an election between right and wrong. There is no way in hell that voting for a misogynist racist convicted felon is the right thing to do. I sure hope there are enough of us to overcome the misogyny, the racism, and the stupidity of the democracy haters on the other side.
And let us not forget a sexual assaulter, which as the judge remarked later would be commonly known as rape in that case. It is just that weird NY law the specifies some distinction in what is considered rape. I hope they change that.
Good Day Mary, Team & All Decent, Mentally Aware Americans.
2024 is the new 1939 Germany in America.
Keep Up Your Great and Patriotic Work Mary.
Soon, we will know if enough voters care about the truth.
Mom grew up in Germany during WWII, when he did his Golden Escalator Stunt she said "That man is a Fascist and if he gets into office we're in very big trouble!" And look what happened.
Your mom is a very smart woman!
💯‼️
The enablers of Trump and Musk are part of this active intention to destroy our Republic and make the planet a playground for the sociopathic oligarchs and dictators.
Inheriting wealth with no moral compass is a sure path to insanity.
Trump+Musk=destruction
Great line, "Inheriting wealth with no moral compass is a sure path to insanity". Nailed it.
Thank you. Got the sentence while writing the comment.
If I remember right wealth above a certain level is a risk factor for developing sociopathic tendencies. These people need to be heavily taxed for their own good.
Lol, yes. I remember that. Thanks for reminding me. Yes, being supportive of the country the live without trying to avoid paying a fair tax will help.
I thought it was illegal to actually give voters $ to facilitate their voting support.
Thank you, Mary. 💙
Just water and sandwiches, for sure.
They made it illegal to pass out water to voters in mile long lines.
So once again, we have an exclusivly self-serving individual, Musk-playing a conservative, doing exactly what he had accused "others" of doing, he's taken over X as his personal platform. He, or his minions, have posted more on X than probably all the posts on Truth Social. And filtering out anything negative to Trump. X is now a Maga-fest!
Where is the money going, very few ads, no billboards, not paying the rally venues. The only payment seems to be 10$ a rally goer but the must stay 20 minutes and take a picture of start of Rally to get paid.
Guess he needs to pay his legal bills- interest on the big one is 110,000$/day....
Musk is mini-me mypillowguy
Much wealthier, smarter, better connected, and therefore infinitely more dangerous
More like a Maxi-Me!
Yep.
Only worse!!!!!
Yesterday on Facebook a person stated that FEMA can't help with the hurricanes because it is out of money. When I replied that this was a lie, she said she knows it is true because Elon Musk himself said so on X. I replied with a factual article from USA Today. It was all I could think to do.
Keep up the great work Fran! We need to keep putting the truth out there!
If they aren't here in Florida or other states to actually view it themselves they need to stop spreading the lies!!!!!! FEMA is here
Good for you.
He's compromised. I wonder how many people he owes favors to? It would be dangerous to have a President who owes so many favors.
Old McGrump’s got Vance in a bind - I.O.I.O.U.
With a kick to the moon, Vance leaves Pence behind - I.O.I.O.U.
In a Musk rat scheme, he plots and schemes, here-a-launch, there-a-launch, he's a spaced out fiend,
Old McGrump’s power’s not quite aligned - I.O.I.O.U.
Had to sing it out loud to get the rhythm, Andy. Very clever.
Nothing good can ever come from two malignant narcissists banding together! I am absolutely gobsmacked at the amount of money these richy rich throw at the candidate of their choice in an election. This has to stop! Citizens United must be eliminated and contributions to campaigns must be intensely regulated to stop all of this dark money pouring into campaigns. The rich are buying these elections and then demanding their due when their candidate is elected. We, the American people, need to speak up loud and clear that this cannot be tolerated anymore! Vote blue, America, up and down the ballot!
Watching from afar... frightening combination I recon.
