From their own social media platform. Thats the part that always gets me about their spats. They only post and read on the platform they own.
Nah, they read everything about themselves, or have someone read it to them.
Then they go to the place where they literally control the narrative and respond.
you know. just like jefferson and hamilton. america has always been this weird form of fascism that fetishizes libertarian ideals while having a top down authoritarian regime. trump is just a lowering of the curtain. everything can get worse faster now because there's nothing preventing them from being who they really are
It's absolutely wild that the US president is able to pardon convicts. Like you have a supposedly independent legislature and judiciary, and the the president can just go "nuh-uh" to anything he doesn't like

They should federate.
I'm okay with that.
I'll allow it.
So a dementia-ridden ketamine addict is trying to talk shit to a dementia-ridden amnesia sufferer.
Sounds exactly like republicans.

Stopped clocks, etc.
Eel on musk is completely correct.
The fact that he’s correct on this point does not make him a good person. He’s still an absolutely magnificent shitbag.
Remember trumps a pawn… the game doesn’t die with his demise. It barely changes at all.
The truth is probably far more dark and fucked up than trump and Epstein.
Don’t let the drama take away your vision of the full spectrum of americas situation.
The cult of personality behind Trump will shatter. And there will be cracks formed in the MAGA movement. New figureheads will try to take power and split the base.
They will still be racist republicans, but to say little will change is simply not true.
Watching them fight each other is the only moment of solace I get in the news these days. Don't take that away from me.
He's not going to change my view on anything.

I agree. It’s rotten at the core. T is a symptom, not the root cause. Something/someone else will take over once he dies. Things won’t get better.

That's not going to happen, but it's really gonna be fun watching them fight more while he tries.

mind that he was willing to do all this together until he couldn't get enough shit from mango mussolini for his ~~pockets~~ companies. he can choke on a bag of dildos after he gets his nuremberg trial.
if these people, all of them, including the Dems who capitulate, owners of the media companies that censor in their name and push their fascist agenda, all ICE employees, don't get their own nuremberg trials, and examples aren't made of them, the US might as well throw the towel and declare itself a lawless land and a failed state.
comeon Elmu, just put your money where the mouth is.
Tesla shares for everyone who brings/leaks hard evidence.
This dude practically bought votes for trump.
This is all bullshit theater unless he funds something.
Ew no money please. The only people who want Tesla shares are going to be worthless idiots.

President Trump, who attended a UFC fight earlier this year with allies and members of his Cabinet, floated the idea of a fight on the South Lawn weeks ago as part of the nation’s 250th birthday celebration. The proposal comes as the Trump administration grows the corporate presence on White House grounds.
Trump held an event for Tesla on the South Lawn earlier this year — when he purchased an electric vehicle alongside then-ally Elon Musk in a statement to those protesting the automaker— in addition to the first corporate-sponsored White House Easter Egg roll.
“We’re going to be on the South Lawn, and literally, when you’re watching the fight, this will all be the White House here, and then behind me will be, you know, the Washington Monument,” White said during the news conference.
White confirmed the fight will be pay-per-view but didn’t outline any match-ups ahead of the South Lawn show.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bread_and_circuses
"Bread and circuses" (or "bread and games"; from Latin: panem et circenses) is a metonymic phrase referring to superficial appeasement. It is attributed to Juvenal (Satires, Satire X), a Roman poet active in the late first and early second century AD, and is used commonly in cultural, particularly political, contexts.
In a political context, the phrase means to generate public approval, not by excellence in public service or public policy, but by diversion, distraction, or by satisfying the most immediate or base requirements of a populace,[1] by offering a palliative: for example food (bread) or entertainment (circuses). Juvenal originally used it to decry the "selfishness" of common people and their neglect of wider concerns.[2][3][4] The phrase implies a population's erosion or ignorance of civic duty as a priority.
It doesn't matter.
If someone unearthed video of Trump raping an 11-year-old, Republicans would love him even more, his approval ratings would go up, leaders on the "religious right" would explain that it's all Biblical, and Trump would successfully sue for the profits from video sales.
I’d usually agree with this sentiment, but the MAGAsphere actually seems to be breaking with him on this one. The chuds are upset about this, and it might not go away so easily, especially now that he’s attacking his base over this.
Well one of the things that nobody seems to have considered is that Elon has a bot army, an AI, and Twitter he can turn against Trump.
In addition, and it may or may not be a coincidence, but he's not as buddy buddy with Putin as he once was.
I absolutely believe Putin is fueling this. President Vance is a collaborative agent for Peter Thiel and the Heritage Foundation. Heritage is a longtime Putin ally. The question is, will MAGA stop questioning their echo chamber after Trump is put out to rot? That is the gamble, and they are going for it.

I don't like the presumption of video sales for CSAM.
Edit: not a dig at you, but of the unpleasant viability of that statement.

What else is on? I'm tired of Jerry Springer white trash theatrics we call governance.
We are watching the attempted ousting of a dictator in the world's most powerful country. But go on

I hate musk, think he is a nazi, and will reject the world he creates. Glad he is taking this one on though. They deserve each other.
It's like watching two nasty creatures fight each other while you, who was going to be eaten by one of them, can get away, at least for a little bit. But if you had the ability, you stomp the fuck out of both of them.
I mean that's obvious, but it's a pretty shitty coverup if everyone knows it's being covered up. And that one name in particular is on the list.
One of the most useful and intentional products of an obvious and blundering conspiracy is the open demonstration that the participants are literally beyond the reach of reason or the law.
It promotes apathy, helplessness, and cynicism.

It's like modern wrestling all over again... 😞
wwe maybe (am curious when HH Helmseley has a wrestler come out and pick a side).
AEW (and CMLL and Stardom and NJPW) are not this shit. Hell, a few weeks back AEW had one of the biggest faces of the company come out in Arena Mexico and give a decent-ish Spanish promo about how his family owed so much to Mexican immigrant workers and how he learned so much from them and how we are better when we work together. The same night a different wrestler came out in an "Abolish ICE" shirt.
So don't drag wrestling down. It is basically just TKO (WWE+UFC) that still runs on redneck hate and bigotry

You know what you’ve gotta do Elon. I’m cool with you walking if you spill the beans. You know you want to.
Agree. I doubt he signed any confidentiality paperwork.
Someone get me video when ICE comes for him!
