Higher burden of proof on a case that already has improperly collected evidence? Sure thing, go ahead and virtue signal to the right that you’re still the party of law and order. The billionaires should still be scared after reading this.

More please.

Nothing. I can see the future and I see what everybody is refusing to believe - Trump will not be gone in 4 years. Congress can’t hold him to account (because half of them are collaborators) and the court’s orders can’t be enforced. Best we’ll get is a stern tut-tut from Democrats while more and more rights will slip away at an alarming pace. Sure, the constitution SAYS you have the right to certain things, but if Trump violates those rights by ordering people below him to carry out unconstitutional acts, who will come save you? Not congress, not the judiciary, not the SCOTUS, not the police, not the military.

We’re fucked. It’s over.

There’s nothing that says Presidential Pardons need to be in writing. Biden just had to direct the right people to offer a pardon to an individual which can then be accepted or declined. That can be verbal, electronically communicated, or in writing, but a signature from the President is just a formality and definitely not required, so the autopen/esign argument is a totally dead argument.

Just more criminal conduct from the felon in chief.

Canada, this guy ain’t gonna learn until you burn it down a second time.

Not sure how Republicans are able to rationalize how expelling these specific individuals makes America any better or fixes literally any of it’s problems.

This is just petty retaliation.

If the US leaves the United Nations, does that mean they lose their security council veto power even if they somehow rejoin later?

Seems like something the other former global superpower, Russia, would be very happy to see happen.

I fail to see how this advances America’s interests whatsoever. Republicans are huffing glue again.

True. If I ever use the internet without an adblocker, I am instantly reminded of how much heavy lifting it does. Normies will just roll over and take this since they are quite used to watching series of unskippable ads at this point.

I hope the audience boos Musk when he walks out looking like the loser he is.

In the midst of a nationwide housing crisis, he pulls this fucking stunt.

Republicans can burn in hell.

Literally Al-Qaeda, lmao 🤣

I can’t believe there are people this stupid managing to function.

No, you may not.

Source for what? My prediction? It’s me, bro. The source is me. That’s how opinions work.

Because that’s literally what happened when Putin annexed Crimea. The west let him keep the territory he stole as a concession and then he just invaded again a few years later.

Holy shit, do you people have the memory of a goldfish? First it’s “Zelenskyy started the war” and now this… Embarrassing that you’re this ignorant about what’s going on in the world.

If Russia gets Ukraine, it’ll be 2-3 years of peace while Russia rebuilds and regroups it’s forces before it’s onto invading the next country. Probably Poland, Belarus, or Georgia. And he’ll keep doing it again and again - waging war with the west until they win or the public decides that saving a few pennies on their taxes is more important than preventing totalitarianism from subsuming Europe again.

You’d think it would be easy to avoid doing this, but watch as the MAGA scum come out of the woodwork to rush to the defense of another guy who totally didn’t mean it, honest.

No matter what, Musk will never ever eliminate 2 trillion in spending. I would bet every last dime I have that in 4 years he won’t even come close to that number. Reason? First, corruption within the government does not want to eliminate spending because then it makes it harder for them to skim off the top. Trump just filled the government with lickspittles and lackwits who have no scruples that would prevent them from engaging in behavior like taking bribes or embezzling funds. Second, special interest groups, and most notably the largest special interest group of them all - defense contractors, will absolutely whip their bought-and-paid-for congressional representatives into shape if Musk even goes near the defense budget, which is the majority of where the wasted tax dollars go anyway.

But it doesn’t matter that he won’t come close to that number, even when he cooks the books to make it looks like he’s saving 8 billion and not 8 million, he’ll just declare that any savings at all is still better than it was before even if he fell short of his laughably optimistic target. And the morons will eat it up and pat themselves on the back for gutting the government and exposing the nation’s most sensitive payment information to teenaged hackers.

The problem is that idiots are eating up these numbers. I have a few low information coworkers who just hear the stories about DOGE saving all this tax money on “wasteful” programs on right wing news outlets and are convinced, full stop. Now, they parrot all the information they hear and are “glad that someone is finally doing something about government waste”. They don’t look into whether or not the numbers that Elon Musk spits out are truthful, let alone whether or not those tax dollars were actually having a positive impact.

We live in a post-truth society, and the Republicans have been abusing the people’s willingness to give authority figured the benefit of the doubt. No amount of untruth can ruin their credibility, because all it takes is a tiny kernel of truth to make it seem like it wasn’t actually a lie.

Hope he’s somewhere hot right now.

With this SCOTUS, nothing is ever completely off the table, but I’d like to think that they wouldn’t make a sweeping decision like that which could potentially call into question the legitimacy of the citizenship status of hundreds of millions of Americans (including their own) just for the sake of appeasing Trump.
