“As immigrants are illegally deported and detained, more and more unions are stepping up to protest these detentions.”

However, leadership of the Fraternal Order of Police which represents ICE officers issued a statement to membership stating, “See? Told you we should have just shot the fucker.”

Exactly. I just posted this in another thread…

• He is setting tariffs on his own, a power designated solely to Congress by the Constitution.

• He is having masked police kidnap people off the streets without warrants and shipping them to an overseas gulag without trial or even charges.

• He is illegally refusing to distribute money allocated by Congress to certain states in order to punish them for not doing his bidding.

• And when the courts have ordered him to stop doing the above, he has willfully ignored those court orders with no repercussions.

Exactly what more needs to happen for this to be a dictatorship?

Look at the bright side. It’s only 577 days until the midterm elections when we can try and do something to change things in D.C.

…I need a drink but I don’t think I can afford one right now.

Or he’s betting that if people get desperate enough they will allow an absolute dictatorship.

Probably a Sinclair owned station. Their as bad or worse than Fox because their stealthier.

They also don’t question illegal or unethical orders.

That was enough to reverse a 6% decline in Tesla shares — a sign investors are optimistic that Musk will ditch the cheese-hat shenanigans and focus on his company’s rapidly shrinking market share

Those are some stupid fucking investors. My expectation is that continued public association between Musk and Tesla can only hurt Tesla from here on out. I can’t see the people who have now embraced hatred of Must and his ideals will start buying his cars just because he’s finished hurting the poor, sick, and elderly. Maybe, maybe, if Tesla gets a new CEO the company can rebound. But for me, as long as the money goes into Elon’s pocket, it won’t be a single penny of mine.

Ah, I misunderstood. My apologies.

Knowing Trump’s irrationality, he just wants to erase all the market gains from when Biden was in office. That means he’ll keep at it until the DOW looses another 10,000 points or so.

When did I say anything about America being great or fulfilling the dreams of the founding fathers? I suggested that a democrat blow out could re-make America so that working people could live lives that don’t focus on surviving until their next paycheck and maybe, just maybe, we could take steps to try and limit ourselves to living in a 3C world since the 2C ship has sailed.

Can’t do one without the other, right?

And you know those good times that conservatives say they want to go back to? Those times when a blue collar worker could earn enough to buy a house, pay the mortgage, support a stay-at-home-wife and family, and then send those kids to college? That’s the society that those decades of democrat control led to. That’s what another 60 years of democrat dominated congress could lead to again. In fact, a huge blow out election like that may be the only thing that can save, not only this nation, but maybe even the whole world, if it’s not too late already.

The poors? Who cares about the poors? As long as they keep shopping and consuming, they don’t matter at all.

“I mean, you have Tim Walz, who is a huge jerk, running on stage with the Tesla stock price, where the stock price has gone in half—and he is overjoyed,” he said. “What an evil thing to do. What a creep, what a jerk. Like, who derives joy from that?”

We all derive joy from watching the villain get their just deserts.

Ah, I see your point. Yes, he should have kept the tip when you look at it that way.

No. The system automatically adds an 18% tip. Because of their message, he removed the tip from their CC charge.

Yes. It is a U.S. territory.
