Well yeah we only want the best and brightest… and what shows you are a succesful good economy building american more than not paying taxes.

See that’s the mistake we made… we arrested al capone for not paying his taxes… when in reality we should have made him president.

Nah… second thought probably not, Capone opened soup kitchens… he’d be way too commie for modern politics.

If it weren’t for the window, this would be the safest place in a tornado.

The idea there lol… sadly I think conservatives are more likely to be afraid of being though to be gay, than to be pedophiles.

Hence the funniest way to bring them out might be if they are accused of having sex with of age people of the same sex… they could respond “no no really, I had sex with a 15 year old girl, I’m not gay”.

I too think he will win… but I think it’s going to shine a light on the democratic parties hypocrisy. We’ll see more when the general goes into gear… But I think that some big names in the democratic party are going to either stay silent or flat out oppose Mamdami.

I do agree, though we’ll see when the road gets closer… I have a very bad feeling we are going to see a lot of big names throw their weight behind Cuomo.

My point mainly is made half jokingly but, I will bet a significant portion of the democratic leadership that scolds progressives, blaming losses on people that even tried to fight in the primaries (IE say people who blamed Bernie on Hillary’s defeat), will also be the ones saying "oh no this is serious… we should vote for coumo because he’s the real democrat). Say people like Bill Clinton that endorsed him in the primaries.

and all the blue no matter who dem’s are rushing right now to condemn this right?

Course I do wonder if there’s a republican in this race that can add to the “corrupt asshole” competition.

Until further clarification I think everyone needs to go out, and say that this confirms abbot is having gay sex with Elon Musk.

Well yeah sure if we were talking the obama admin you could have joked around with him… The idea that someone would be denied entrance to the US over a “thanks obama” sticker or something would be laughable and instantly condemned by the president himself if it were a public story.

This is the trump admin though… they are thin skinned to insanity, they could never laugh at themselves, or find humor in something they disagreed with.

You know what would actually be a good loyalty test for these guys… just print out a bunch of the memes… like the one that got a guy deported at the airport etc…

Then give a really serious look dead in the eye… and hold them up one by one “DO YOU THINK THIS IS FUNNY???”. If the person cannot calmly say “No sir I do not find this amusing at all”. Fire them.

Some good examples to use

But if I was her, I’d sing like a songbird for any reasonable plea bargaining.

Umm… ok not a huge expert on how the courts work… but is who she’d be bargaining with be under trumps control?, again not really sure the logistics… but if it’s all federal employees under trumps control… couldn’t they be saying “we’ll go as light as humanly possible, but if you rat out trump… we’ll hit you with everything the law allows”.

I mean come on and do it, what do you have to lose at this point. You clinging to the hope that maybe the US and Isreal might chose not to go to war with you?

6 year olds with leukemia?

Yeah… in short he was in the primaries, actually had a pretty strong following, mainly because he proposed UBI. Then after losing he started a “forward” party… which as far as I can see was meant to be kind of a centrist party, but effectively didn’t have any stances besides work towards ranked choice voting.

No actually origionally it was fed the internet… and elon was getting fed up with it correctly fact checking him.

IE the genisis of this change was, musk accusing the left of being violent. Followed by someone asking grok whether the left or right had commited was more violent.

Grok responded basically pointing out that there were far more incidents of right wing inspired violence, and the majority of left wing incidents only damaged property.

Musk responded that that is incorrect and he’ll fix it.

And now he made the update and explicitly turned grok into a nazi.

Well doesn’t sound like it’s going presidential, and currently I don’t think if trump goes for a 3rd term, it will involve elections.

I mean, we don’t have high regard for the guy that killed hitler.

I mean in fairness, they’ve always had Jill Steins. We can bitch about the spoiler effect and yell at our guys for voting, but election after election when you look at people focusing the blame on the greens when we lose, liberterians and other right wing parties, always have more votes than left wing 3rd parties.

Also sadly it sounds like musk is actually planning to do the strategic right way to do a new party. IE focus on house and senate seats to basically to threaten narrow votes.

In short it sounds more like he’s making the republican’s “Manchins”.

It’s in her phrasing of it.

“for the express purpose”. In other words… we can turn the world into a hellscape to power cars, data centers",

you can build a machine that causes a category 5 hurricain in the middle of the desert for the purpose of producing 1 ice cream cone, so long as you describe the “express purpose” to make the ice cream cone. But if you make a machine that’s primary purpose is to stop a hurricane, that’s where it becomes “geoengineering”, so yeah in short this is basically to prevent all the hypothetical solutions to climate change.

Hell it wouldn’t shock me if they were then to argue say carbon filters in coal plants, or things to mitigate polution, could be “geoengineering” because the whole point of the filters is to prevent climate change, while the actual polution is to make products or power to sell.

I own a percentage of the president duh… that means I can go where I want.

Gotta love the emphasis on the “outsider”.

He says bad words!!!
