Treason is the reason for the season.
The hills will ring with the sounds of the season! Probably the sound of guillotines!
Remember, remember!
The fifth of November,
The Gunpowder treason and plot;
I know of no reason
Why the Gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot!
I’ve yet to receive a check from George Soros, yet Elon is running around writing checks left and right. I’d call hypocrisy, but words are wind to whiny abusers like him. Once you flout their power they have nothing but tantrums to throw.
The thing that freaks me out is Elon called that cave diver a pedo. Well every accusation is a confession with these people...
Yeah, I'm 99.999999999% sure that all billionaires are pedos. It's just a matter of how well they hide it.
Well yeah. Karate lessons with Ghislaine Maxwell was obv Gi optional
Elon is running around writing checks left and right
Mostly right.
Why am I seeing headlines about the MAGA reaction to the thing instead of the thing itself?
- Media is suppressing news on protests.
- Protests are happening by my town's City Hall, so I know they're going on.
Do it J.B. I want him to do for this nation what he's done for Illinois. I'm not a fan of billionaires in general, but Pritzker has been absolutely amazing for Illinois. I could not ask for a better candidate.
yup. did not vote for him in the first primary but after one term I voted for him with enthusiasm thereafter.
I always assumed he was doing a great job because all I've heard people in rural Illinois and Indiana do is bitch about how he's ruining Illinois.
Yeah, that's always a big flag, isn't it?
To be clear Musk isn't leaving, he's working from home...
... he's doing so to keep a low profile because the bad press are costing him money and influence.
THINK about it: These people are in it for money and power. When they start losing money and power, they back off.
Because that's the whole point for them, that's their game.
It always blows my mind that Pritzker seems to be consistently on the right side of history. Have we done it? Have we found the mythical 'good' billionaire? 'cuz he's done a pretty great job as governor of my state and I'll happily vote for him again if I get the chance.
*Doubt
He's a governor from Illinois. Be neither disappointed nor surprised should he find himself in prison. They've got an impressive track record for picking future felons.
He may not be perfect, though it does look like he has a strong interest in supporting the common man.
And yes, I'll definitely be voting for him again. I want to reward that kind of behavior.
FREE SPEECH ABSOLUTEFASCIST
Ketamine Karen pitches fit on the platform he bought for this very purpose...
BFD. Let him rant.
Anyone still on Xitter to witness it is a fool. 🤷♂️ 🤡 🙄 🖕
PROTESTING is TREASON!
-Americans who LOVE Defending School Shooters AND the Deportation of Legal Americans to Concentration Camps WITHOUT Due Process!
Reminder: they’re looking for a reason to enact Martial Law and ‘legally’ deploy US troops against it’s citizens. Painting what is likely to be peaceful protests as “crazies inciting violence” before they’ve even ramped up is a purposeful decision.
It's responses such as these from Sieg Heiling Spare Karen and the Nazis that demonstrate how protesting is, in fact, very helpful for the people.
I've been very excited about hitting the streets and I'll carry on.
Rich coming from MAGA.
A governor: take to the streets! The media: let’s report on how Trumps boss feels about it.
And barring anything else this is absolutely enough for me to vote for the guy in the next election. I’m sick of do-nothing democrats being all milquetoast.
A democratic leader calling for action? Wanting more? Standing up for what’s right? Yes please, and thank you!
The declaration of independence literally tells the people to take apart a government that is no longer working for the people.
Not that any of the republicans in congress actually have read such documents.
My parents said they’ve been attending protests…I said that’s great but have you been in contact with your congress critters?…They don’t even know who their rep is…The boomers need a direct education in direct democracy, because they have been de-educated and effectively neutralized on this account.
Id like Elon to explain why the remaeks are crazy.
Because they're true and he has no real response. Is child (and evil). Reacts as such.
Right wingers and MAGA cry and whine so hard 🤣
Wonder if we'll ever know they were all working for Russia thanks to Epstein island.
What's he whining about? He's not going to be impeached.
Love Pritzker.
