He should be imprisoned for many reasons, but the cutting off Starshield/Starlink to Ukraine to keep its defensive drones from intercepting Russian jet drones should see him in front of a firing squad.
INVESTIGATE TRUMP
I genuinely feel like I’m going insane when the Dems haven’t made a “we’ll impeach Trump if elected” promise. Not that I’d believe them, but it seems like that should be a talking point.
He's not the target any more because it's been proven that he is completely immune politically and legally. They should do what they never did which is to go after all the co-conspirators first starting with the lowest then keep flipping them until you have everyone. If you eventually get the Don before the clock runs out, that's a bonus.
Might be a strategy to capture some disgruntled MAGA folks, and not make them rally for their führer
I feel like I could bet on Musk paying to kill any investigation brought up by the Dems should they win.
If I recall correctly, he came tp the US as an alien and worked illegally originally. Sounds like a reason for stripping citizenship and deportation.
to even the playing field, republicans should promise the same! they are good at this promising game~
Just win the damn elections first and worry about that after. This is basic football, catch the ball first, THEN run. Planning before execution leads to incomplete passes, or interceptions.
I mean...you should also have a plan on what to do when you have the ball, right? Or is every time you catch a football, it's your first time thinking about what you're gonna do next?
“Hey guys, I’m not going to tell you what I plan to do with power once I get it because Shartgargle says it’s the best option. Vote for me, though.”
It’s called having a platform. Saying what you’re gunna do if you win is the whole point of campaigning.
Investigating people isn't a platform.
But at least they have to tell the voters roughly what they want to do so the voters know what they are actually voting for. So 'just win the damn elections' should include some indication of their priorities.
It's a trap though. Lots of people criticize candidates for being only anti-Whatever and not caring about local citizens or having a plan for local issues.
Although throwing MAGA in jail is the most important thing to help local citizens and issues, IMO.
Absolutely, on policy that's important. But announcing investigations before your capable of doing so is likely to just make him throw in another $300 million to keep that from happening.
Funny, it’s at the top of my list to fight that fucker if I ever see him in person
Bullshit. They’ll capitulate as they always do. Their only use is to unseat the fascist. Once that is done. We can work to unseat them, and then put someone in the Shite House that will actually do the work.
And then election time will come and we'll get another republican president.
All that doge shit was extremely illegal and everyone involved should be tried
Dodge cuts killed people and reduced US soft influence. its leader needs to be investigated. especially for hiring Big balls
Revoke his citizenship, nationalize his shit, throw him in prison for a while, and then deport his ass.
Honestly he should shot and bury his corpse 6 feet under
High on optimism I see. You forget the only reason musk is back in the loop (along with the rest of the billionaire barons) is to rig the midterm results. Dems aren't getting elected.
If you have 7 people on a bus, 3 vote to drive off a cliff, 2 vote not to drive over a cliff, and 2 don't vote... You're going off a cliff.
maybe vote and stop cuckholding to the russian bots.
Nah screw that. I'm voting, and if you aren't a bitch you'll vote too.
Unless you wanna sit up there on your lame ass high horse and not be accountable for anything.
and not be accountable for anything.
and pretend to not be accountable for anything. FTFY
No. Hang him. What more evidence do you need of his immense traitorous harm to America and the working class around the world that would require investigation? You'll lethally inject one person for egregious crimes against one other person, but you'll dither and fret over bringing meaningful consequence to set an example when it's someone who has directly harmed millions worldwide and condemned an entire generation to immeasureable struggle and unprecedented crises. It's vile and pathetic. At this point investigation is a very clear delay and distract tactic, and we all know why this is the best the good cop half of this corporate capital party has to offer.
Just like the Dems have investigated January 6th? I'm sure the consequences will be devastating for him.
That was the feckless Biden Administration. They fucked up royally, and got MAGA elected again. The Dems won't be making that mistake again, or they know they'll find themselves in the same hot seat as MAGA. You may not think the Dems are going to follow up, but the MAGAs certainly do. DC criminal defense lawyers are reporting that business is way up, with potential investigative targets booking their favorite attorney now.
The Dems are already making plans for the investigations. Dems know that even if they could pass legislation, the Demented Queen won't sign it, so the next 2 years are going to focus on Investigations. The plans are already in motion, witness lists are being drawn up, and subpoenas will be issued quickly.
Some people, like Musk, are going to be busy running from one Congressional investigation to another. They won't have time to get in future trouble while they are vigorously defending themselves against past trouble.
What I'm about to state is not a personal attack. We can discuss this without hatred even if we end the discussion by agreeing to disagree.
Biden had 4 years to prevent Trumps 2nd term. Biden had arguably the best intel in the world in the world working for him. He had an abundance of resources. One self sabotage (if you want to call it that) was Democrats choosing to have Kamala run against Trump last minute. Even if it wasn't last minute, Kamala is a minority and a woman which is a major disadvantage. Not to make this a race discussion but a white woman couldn't even beat Trump. I'm not trying to make this about race but we can't ignore that.
Democrats didn't mess up. They were complicit.
Democrats and the Biden Admin giving the 2024 election the old-college-try to stop Trump getting reelected wasn't a fumble. They threw the game on purpose. They were fully aware of what was at stake and the climate they were in. Democrats aren't making mistakes. They are letting changes happen and then acting appalled. A sweep in the midterms will only slow down the train but they won't stop it. They can't stop it. The system is broken and has giren significantly more broken in recent years.
the same way 8 years of obama paved the way for trump, pro-billionaire democrats doing nothing for the working class because they have the same donors as the republicans
Exactly. Goes back even further too. This was a long time in the making
Why are they so obsessed with investigations but never the other parts of the process, like arrests, bringing charges, trials, and sentencing?
To do any of those subsequent steps, you have to have something legal experts call "an actual case."
It's hard when your investigations are based on Internet conspiracy theories and sovereign citizen levels of bullshit.
Because it's all theatre.
Musk will just move his money back to the DNC.
I mean investigations are the first part of due process. I agree the rest needs to follow, but an investigation is the start of things.
We also need to quit electing people who like to scuttle investigations, destroy evidence, and stymie witnesses/victims. That is the bigger hindrance to due process.
Because you can't arrest, charge, and bring to trial people without evidence, which is what the investigation is for.
It's wild that this is a political matter at all. The judicial system should not depend on what party is in charge. Still can't fully comprehend the level of institutionalized corruption
Investigate?
Screw that.
Just tax the MF into oblivion, along with the rest of the rich scumbags pillaging the government and the country.
There are FAR more people that did damage that were actually in charge and supposed to be responsible to and beholden to the citizens of this country. Judges, elected officials, LEOs, military officers. Investigate and bury them.
Guys vote for us and we'll do something for real this time
They should literally be running on this.
We know what immigrants are stealing citizens jobs. Or mooching off the system. It's him.
They should literally be running on this.
Yes. And not just Musk.
People fucking cheered when Ossoff said it.
Find out what exactly Trump meant when he said, “Elon knows those voting machines really well,” and then thanked him for giving him Pennsylvania. Those were quite fucking revealing comments, to say the least. Add on all those weird comments from his little meat shield kid, X-10101-cknvalkmcnvoefr, or whatever the fuck his name is. They stole the election, they committed treason, so give them the televised firing squad they so desire.
They'll dick around and let anything they have fizzle out.
the dem playbook
Sure, they might try but will get ignored like last time and the evidence might vanish, might be some problem so they don't get power. Either way in two years the propaganda will say that Dems wasted all the time on witch hunts and lawfare and the voters will agree or not show up again and right back to maga. I'd love to be wrong about this, I can handle it lol!
