Quick! Someone explain Citizens United to Trump and how it will allow Elon to get away with this!
Someone should tell him that the best way to get back at Elon would be to start taxing billionaires.
Win win win
You son of a bitch
Now THAT is how you break the clock!
“If he does, he’ll have to pay the consequences for that,” Trump told NBC News in a phone interview, but declined to share what those consequences would be.
I wonder how many times his attorneys have explained to him the concept of incriminating yourself in advance of retaliation.
He's got away with everything so far.Why should he start caring about the law now? Legal, illegal, that's for the poors to worry about.
Not like it really matters anymore:(
I'm sorry, I will not vote for any Democrat that takes money from a fucking Nazi.
He would probably fuck this up too.
Cool, people not voting out of principle because they didn't like the democrat enough is how the USA got here, but go ahead, keep trying that method.
At least Trump fixed all the overseas problems those people cared so much about, right?
AIPAC doesn't leave a lot of names available.
When is one of these fucking dipshits going to have the other killed?
Maybe Elon already tried to do that... Twice.
My fantasy is that Trump tries to have Elon killed/arrested but fails because he's rich and has very good guards. So then Elon sends someone to kill Trump, which is successful. Then Elon dies from some drug complications right after. If we're lucky, they both die after shitting their pants.
There's a lot of quick and seemingly painless deaths here!! Unacceptable.
Ok, here goes:
The overbloated satsuma sends in the gravy seals to kill him, however they only maim him leaving muskrat in excruciating pain...but alive.
For now.
He escapes and goes in to exile somewhere (Moscow? Somewhere embarrassing.) but it doesn't matter as he can't leave his bed due to the searing pain etc etc.
muskrat realises he's going to die a slow painful death so in turn takes a leaf out of putlers' book and smuggles some polonium in to Fatboys big mac. Mr Chunky CheesePaint eats said poisoned big mac and starts to deteriorate nice and slowly, but painfully.
Now there are both slowly dying. They both have weeks or a few months at best to live. And even with pain meds they'll both experience the horror of the agony, AND the knowledge that death is coming for them.
Not my finest work but the essence is that they both get taken out and endure the pain they so rightfully deserve.
In this scenario, I would like Thiel, Yarvin, Marjorly, and the rest of the fascist gang to die in a freak aeroplane crash.

Can they shit their pants very publicly and in the most embarrassing way possible?

Also, golly gee thank god we avoided BidenSoOld/"GenocideJoe" and Kamala the Cop, because they would have been Just As Bad (TM).
“They would have been worse! Kamala would have had higher tariffs!!” - my dad. He doesn’t believe me that tariffs are only a Trump thing… he doesn’t even watch fox. He mostly listens to news from Russia and Ukraine. And that guy on YouTube who sounds like a cartoon character.
A person in my neighborhood still has a TRUMP LOW PRICES KAMALA HIGH PRICES sign in their front yard, albeit partially hidden behind a bush. Unremarkable except they're black and living in a subsidized housing development. You just can't make shit like this up.
And that guy on YouTube who sounds like a cartoon character.
That doesn't really narrow it down much...
Trans people, immigrants, etc fearing for their lives, being kidnapped to a foreign death camp, and going full conservationist on climate change is a lot bigger of a difference than 1.3%.
I would still be in the US if Kamala had won. I'm trans, latina, and in a w4w relationship. But in retrospect, I'm so glad I left
I'm still fucking tired of being treated as a political pawn by so called "leftists" who don't actually give a shit about intersectionality
Where did you go? I've been considering it, but I'm not sure where I'd want to live since it feels like the world's on fire.
I'm not in the same boat, but I empathize. I want the fuck out. Best of luck, and I hope you're safe.

I would have a very difficult time voting for someone who received funding from musk.
You got a lot of angsty democrats responding here with basically "c'mon bro, please, bro, you don't understand, if we don't take the money to do the Hitler, then the Republicans will do it completely for free, please, bro, be reasonable!"
Fuck that. I'm normally a pretty practical person, but if the dude who's directly financing neo-nazism parties around the world like a one man CIA starts dumping cash into the democrats, it's because he means to turn them into the neo neo Nazis, and they will not be getting my vote. Will the country burn? Yeah, but it's going to do that because the democrats think fundraising is more important than having literally any principles or strong policy positions at all, regardless of whether I vote for them or not.

Any Dem funded by a Nazi won't get my vote for sure.
If a guy has a vote record of regulating industries, taxing the rich, expanding welfare, etc then he's got my vote even if David Duke endorses him. Let's clarify this for all the morons who think this is only effects the headlines they have to see for the next 4 years; we're voting for legislators not personalities.

Justice: weaponized
Party support: criminalized
Population: fuck yeah daddy oooh yeah this is ok fuck everyone else
Sometimes I think about how if any previous president had done, over the course of their entire career, the things Trump does in the average week, or sometimes even just a single day, it would have immediately ended their career. If a previous president had openly stated that if a specific person funded their rivals there would be serious consequences, that'd be it. They'd be done. Impeached on the spot, out of office, blacklisted by their own party, and shamed for all of history.
The news cycle crucified Obama for wearing a tan suit. They raked him over the coals because he was so out of touch that he asked a burger place if they had Dijon mustard. What do you think they'd have done if he openly promised retribution against those who dared disagree with him like this?
And Donald motherfucking Trump does this crap all the godamn time, and he just gets away with it because the Republicans like that it's their tyrant, the Democrats are afraid of actually doing anything, and by the time the public can mobilize against one thing he's already done three more things that make the past look trivial.
They spent years saying that Obama was going to declare martial law and end elections.
Then, Trump supporters literally stage a coup and there are no consequences. They made Carter give up his peanut farm, but Trump can keep all of his shady illegal businesses?

The consequences will be we have a Nazi party and a White Supremacist Apartheid party.
This isn't a threat. It's saying the quiet part out loud.
Money controls both parties. Elon Musk is just rich enough that if something slightly goes against his wishes he can fund something to support his wishes.
We're in a super fucked up cyberpunk dystopia where the richest fight for the worst outcome
It was always so. But now we can see it more clearly.
And some of the effects are much worse now than in the past.
