Now the left is back to the most basic responses they can think of.... violence. How sad are these people that they would potentially ruin their lives because they voted Kamala. lol

Says the guy who beats women, tells people on this forum they should die, threatens to beat up people when they prove him wrong.
Hypocrite.

To reiterate: if you can't see the difference between what the gov't did and the technocracy participated in vs what Musk is doing then you are clearly blinded by political affiliation. At least come up with conspiracy about how what Musk said he's doing is really smoke screen for him to ban Blue speech. Even though you have no evidence that Musk is pilfering the gov't coffers, at least you came up with some sort of half arse motive and explanation for it. Do better!

Ahhh, so Musk's desire for censorship to remove "negativity" is good, but when Twitter censored posts that could be dangerous to the public good, it was bad.

Musk good, Twitter bad.
How hypocritical.

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Like I said if you can't see the difference between what happened under Biden (see the Twitter emails and Zuckerberg's disclosures) vs what Elon is doing, then I feel bad for you. At least come up with the conspiracy theory about how he's really suppressing left wing ideas or he's brainwashing the right to support a fascist dictatorship, etc. Do better.

Somebody stop DODE. Burn Teslas, yell at Tesla owners - no action is too much when it comes to saving the country from the Big Bad Orange Guy and Turncoat Musk.

Multiple assassination attempts recently made by Republicans. Republicans blowing up cyber trucks in front of Trump casinos. Republicans committing mass shootings of kids in grade schools. Republicans blowing up abortion clinics. Republicans attempting a coup against st our own government.

And the right claims that they are the party of "law and order", and live under the rule of a benevolent "God", whose business shouldn't pay taxes, while crying when their tax dollars go to feed the hungry.

You missed the point. Rather than being critical of libs that resort to criminality, you disregard it because "Team Red does it too." More importantly, how is the left going to convince people like me that do support liberal social programs (ie universal healthcare, universal post secondary education), when they lose their freaking minds over eliminating gov't waste? Why would I support expansion of gov't when I know the left will appropriate those funds for their pet social & cultural programs rather than actual education, aid, healthcare, etc.

A lie.

You admitted it in this forum.
"I lifted her off her feet and held her against the wall and told her she would not do that again."
"I knocked the T total shit out of my pill popping sister on two different occasions for disrespecting our mother."

A lie.

I'M one of the people you told to off himself:
"You, a tall tree, a tight rope, your neck?"
"Go kill yourself. Ignore the all caps. Ignore the details. Throw out comprehension. Get a rope and kill yourself. Moron."
"Go find a tall tree and bring a short rope.

A lie.

Oh? You forgot that you wanted to go meet up with Bobby and beat him up?

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

You seem to be the one always having difficulty with our language.

Ironic that you are lying when you accuse me of lying.
Your false accusations have been disproved yet again.
You're not even a challenge; it's like fish in a barrel FFS.

When did I disregard it? Reference a post, please.

And please show us that the left is "losing their freaking minds" over the "eliminating government waste", and not the WAY it is supposedly being done.

"Pet social and cultural programs". Interesting. So the Republicans move all funding direct to education, aid, healthcare, etc? The programs they actively fight to defund?

Universal healthcare is bad? Interesting. So, healthcare should only be for those who can afford it, and we should do our best to keep wages as low as possible, not require employers to provide coverage, and let the poor and weak die off? Cool.

43% of our workforce unable to afford basic medical needs, and they deserve nothing. 'Murica!

I guess it's OK for a POTUS to endorse a "product, service, or enterprise" in violation of ethics rules, because...MAGA!!!

Yes, the censorship is "bad" when we don't like it, but "good" when we like it.

Banning and burning Bibles would be bad, but banning and burning books about ***** is good.
Censoring "negative" posts and posts that call Trump a "***** *** *****" is good, but censoring posts containing "content that goes directly against guidance from authoritative sources of global and local public health information.” is bad.
Censoring anti-Trump speech is good, but censoring hate speech against transgenderism is bad.

No conspiracy theories here, at all. It's all provable facts.

Demented Diaper Don is really laying his low IQ on the table.
His handlers need to take away his phone and give him some crayons instead.

"Electricity" - As if it's some made-up thing that doesn't really exist, and that isn't supplied to parts of the US by Canada.

Canada bought $354 Billion worth of goods from us for it's 40 million people.
That's $8,850 per person.
We bought $418.6 Billion worth of goods from Canada for our 340 million people.
That's $1,229 per person.

WHO is doing the "subsidizing"? Damn, Trump is a ******* idiot.

The post I quoted. I'm going to say burning charging stations counts as "losing their freaking minds." You're welcome to pretend it's about the "WAY" the waste is being eliminated, personally, I think it's more about who is doing the eliminating and what is being eliminating. I suspect if it was Sleepy Joe eliminating "wall" spending, they could care less how it was accomplished.

The reason the GOP is cutting funding to education is because, my school district for example spends $15k/student/yr and the fawking kids still can't read, do math, etc. But they sure did a great job explaining to the students why the ICE raids are scary while skipping over the fact that those raids took guns, drugs, gangsters and other bad folks off the streets. Ironically, the one-sided education occurred in a college prep classs, thus making it oddly appropriate. Even more ironic, is the "ICE Raid Education" is about the most "college" thing they've done. Kinda crazy how they're able to teach the concepts they want to get across, but fail to teach the basics.

Have I not always championed Universal Healthcare on here? When have I ever said or implied the poor shouldn't be covered? What I don't want to do is pay taxes for healthcare only to find it's being wasted on a bunch of leftist social & cultural issues. I don't want to pay FICA only to find out the system is full of grift. I don't want to pay $300 for toilet seats in the Pentagon. But lets all worry about the "way" we eliminate that stuff.

From Google AI. Who is subsidizing who?

Canada's trade with the US

• Canada relies on the US for a third of its imports.
• Canada relies on the US for 75% of its exports.

WTF are talking about??? Musk said he's going to make the algorithm prioritize information & education. That's no more censorship that making the algorithm prioritize engagement or flame wars or political content, etc. If I go into the book store and they have a bunch of Star Wars books on a display up front but the Star Trek books are on the selves in the Sci Fi section, they haven't censored Star Trek. The admin of this site removed the off topic threads from updating into the "Latest Threads" specifically to deprioritize political speech on here; that's hardly censorship.

Like I said you need to do better, try harder. Ie, Elon says he's going to prioritize information and education on X, but really his plan is to eliminate pro-LGBTQxyz speech on X.

So China and Canada are hitting US agricultural products with tariffs, which of course cools off demand for US products in China and Canada. Consequently, that increases supply in the US and would explain the recent (and steep) drop in beef, pork & chicken prices I noticed recently. Does that mean tariffs are leading to lower prices? Go Trump!!!
