It would be pretty funny if a bunch of losers lost a fuk-ton of cash betting on Trump based on Elon's tweets. Sorta like those sad bastards that bought Trump Media stock. Fools and their money...

Seems like a poor business decision then. This is how it is supposed to work. Owner of the company gets too political, turns off his customer base, loses business. It has nothing to do with censorship, and is actually the opposite; people are speaking with their pocketbooks. Free market in it's purest form.

Umm, he is also going bankrupt and his distribution is all focked up, so he hasn't been fulfilling orders. You think Walmart cares who he votes for? Ask the Walton family who they're voting for, it's probably Trump.

It was vape cartridges. She made a very stupid mistake. But she was arrested for leverage and grossly overcharged for something that allegedly the Russian government knows goes on and typically ignores. But she was a high value target, so 9 years in prison it is! I don't think prisoner exchanges should be second guessed in most cases. I'm pretty sure the government is well aware of the implications, and I'd rather not have American citizens rotting in Russian gulags.

Here's a good tip: If you want real news, avoid cable news networks and social media. LOL at the guys thinking MSNBC is somehow worse than Fox, OAN, or Newsmax.

Those are not laws, they are just statements from the Talmud. There are plenty of entries in the bible that look pretty perverse from a modern perspective as well. I would like to think that those following the word of the Talmud aren't doing it literally, just like Christians are no longer stoning people (in America, anyway). Moral of the story: Extremism in ALL RELIGIONS sucks!

This thread is gross. I have some experience with large scale disaster response. You have FEMA, Red Cross, National Guard, state/county/local first responders and law enforcement and ignorant do-gooders all arriving on site simultaneously. Not to mention politicians and journalists. Thousands of residents have had their lives thrown into turmoil. They have huge, legitimate problems and need serious help. The size of the operation is immense, and all of these people and agencies are not in constant communication with each other. It is extremely confusing and complicated. Those of you that think any large organizations are purposely making things worse for those affected can seriously GFY. If you are that convinced that everyone is a hateful worm intent on nothing more than political malfeasance or personal enrichment then you are a lost soul that has allowed cynicism and hate to take over your life. You are demonizing those trying to help, and you are making that help harder to obtain for those that need it. I can only hope none of you ever have to go through something like that yourselves to open your eyes to the reality that these organizations are trying to help. They are not perfect. They will not solve every problem. They will not save everyone. But things would be far, far worse without them there. Life is complicated, not a focking X meme.

This was also reported by the NY Times.

I think they played one, but it was not the one I was expecting and hoping for. I was pretty drunk, so don't take my word for it.

I stated upthread that I don’t have any good answers. Basically no one can be trusted with that power, especially those that would want it.

What're ya gonna do when he loses? Protest? Sky scream more than you already do? Try to bomb some government buildings? Or maybe just jump right into killing some libs? You're a fuking psychopath. Much, MUCH, closer to the brownshirt philosophy than I, but again, too fuking dumb to realize it. And if Trump does somehow win by cheating, you'll defend every fascist, violent, illegal, anti-constitutional thing he does with vim and vigor because you're an easily influenced hate sponge. Seek help.

I would have guessed he was gargling them with a nice effeminate white wine. Riesling maybe?

Jer, lemme know if you need a translator. I speak Walz. Also, someone voting for Trump calling out another politician for lying is... well, pathetic is a nice way to put it.

Well babe, now you know.
