Well he’s already announced one with the easiest country, the UK. Well, more like concepts of a deal, but it’s basically a done thing

How does that help anyone? That would just be performative

The Democratic party is right there, and it stands for nothing. It has all the infrastructure set up already. So let’s take it.

Let’s tea party the Democratic party and force them left, kicking and screaming. Let’s build a large enough faction of actual progressives and leftists that Democrats are forced to come to the table. We flip red seats and take vacant ones. Then we primary incumbent Democrats who don’t get with the game plan

That’s what the whole fighting oligarchy tour is about

It sounds like she’s declaring herself the successor to Trump, or at least the kingmaker

Overhang? More real estate terms…I should start keeping a list

Dude is regressing so fast it’s crazy

Well, Republicans all completely fell in line with Trump after Elon said he’d primary anyone who didn’t

Then, Elon outspent the other candidate in the Wyoming supreme court election like 10:1 and still lost. There’s talk his involvement hurt more than helped. The very next day Trump said Elon has to go back to his businesses soon

No member of Congress can go out in public without being screamed at to do something. Historically conservative districts are flipping in special elections. Musk’s money is useless, Trump’s endorsement means less by the day, and even the oligarchs are getting nervous about Trump

Very few politicians are actually loyal to Trump, most are in it for themselves. There’s reason for some hope… The pressure is already high. Imagine how bad it’ll be in a few weeks, when people start seeing supply chain shortages on the shelves…

I follow laws mainly because of my own sense of morality - I don’t kill, I steal only when I feel I need to, and I don’t commit fraud because these things are obviously generally wrong.

I follow stupid laws (such as needing insurance, paying income taxes, or not speeding) out of fear of punishment. These are issues I’ll basically never have, because I’m good at driving and don’t make enough to affect state level operations

What do you mean? Trump’s cabinet had insane turnover last time, he loves using people then throwing them away

Because they still believe “put in your time and wait your turn” is how the world works

They’re never going to learn. It’s time to tea party them, by 2028 we need a strong enough progressive faction to force them to cooperate or be replaced

Tea party the democratic party, and obstruct until then

Nope. The judge said “there are no weekends in my court. Irreparable harm is being done, and until you bring the man back every day you will come here and tell the American people what actions you have taken”

Well this is just temporary… Once they merge the ATF with the DEA they can shoot your dog, burst turn your door, shove a gun in your face, ransack your house, only then realize they have the wrong address, and threaten you to stay quiet

Think of the efficiencies! Think of the savings!

I found it super cool. It’s dreamlike… There’s no enemies so it didn’t feel like a nightmare, just like playing a game in a dream

Yes, it should. Artists should be able to live without justifying their existence to the economy, everyone should… And then they could make money on their creations, and if someone came along who could use their characters better, then oh well… They still get to eat. But the original creator is usually be better at making their OC… And companies are the ones who usually hold the copyright even if a single employee made it

So fuck it, I’d rather make sure everyone can eat and have a home first, but if we did it in the opposite order the damage would be minimal to individual artists

I mean, theoretically all original anonymous members are co-founders

It’s nebulous, bu at some point t it went from an idea to a hacktivist affiliation. Anyone who got on board with the idea before they did anything could be fairly called a co-founder

Well for now, the courts aren’t giving up their power like Congress

So if he doesn’t show up, they’re going to rule against him and take it out of his bank account

Wait, did he figure out how security clearances work finally or did he just declare it on truth social?

The core problem is - Teslas suck. They’re not the best, they’re not the cheapest, they’re not the safest or most reliable, and they don’t have the most features. There’s now electric cars out there that beat them in every category

I mean it’s still insanely overvalued. It’s a car manufacturer priced like a tech giant - the stock is so high because of hopes they’ll be the ones to crack true full self driving, human level robotics, or produce batteries at some insane scale

They’re so behind and have lost so much trust on all those fronts that they’d need to actually do it for the stock to pay out. But they’re no longer the best cheap electric cars, their self driving features are some of the worst because they went all in on visual only, and there’s many companies worlds ahead of them on robotics automation. Even their safety is so bad countries easily banned them once musk’s reputation tanked

Plus, musk would have to divest or have his shares called in to fully separate him… Either of which means the stock tanks or already has tanked

Because they’re watching mainstream news, which even tiptoes around the tarrifs and doesn’t broadcast Trump’s daily interviews unless a clip makes him look good. They really just know the government is getting cut and that we’ve started a trade war with (checks notes) everyone

This is going to change when effects of his policies actually start to land - so far we’re looking at disastrous moves in horror, but they’re getting a very toned down snapshot through a rose colored lens

Nah, you just start deputizing more effective people. Like ex special forces
