Expecting integrity from musk is like expecting humility from Drumpf, ain’t happening.

Expectations are the fuel for journeying into the land of make believe.

But consistency in leadership reinforces trust, and encourages engagement in democracy.

Thank you for being on the job for democracy. MSW. We each must keep an eye out for Musk, Trump & Thiel corruption in this election!

Thank you for showing how you and the left continue to point their fingers elsewhere - intentionally ignoring the blatant dishonesty, ineptitude and evil within your party!

You are supporting a DEI puppet - with zero political accomplishments - being controlled by her masters.

Convicted felon, adjudicated rapist, business fraud Donald Trump is a nearly 80-year old Florida-man who has made history as the first president in 28 years to not serve a second term, the first in 45 years not to release any of his tax returns, the first president in 89 years to lose the presidency, the House and the Senate in a single term, the first in 102 years to allow more than 120,000 Americans to die in a single virus outbreak, the first president in 129 years to lose the popular vote twice, the first in 152 years to boycott his successors inauguration, the first ever to fail to hit a 50% approval rating at any point during their presidency, the first president ever to be elected with the help of a foreign nation, the first ever to be impeached twice, the first ever to have a member of their own party vote for conviction in an impeachment trial, the first president ever to refuse to concede defeat, the first to be banned from social media, the first to refuse to ensure the peaceful transfer of power, the first president to have their home searched for official national security documents, the first president found liable of sexual abuse, defamation & business fraud, the first president criminally indicted (also the second, third and fourth), the first president with a mugshot, and the first president ever to be criminally convicted (once, twice, or 34 times).

He’s has the second worst record on jobs, he added the third most to our national debt, and the Presidential Greatness Project Expert Survey ranked his presidency as the worst. Ever.

WOW, that was a load of TDS bias! Let's see if I can respond to all of this ignorance.

Trump was 'convicted' in a third world, banana republic court. From the despicable DA to the horrible judge who should have recused himself, it was a shameful trial which has damaged the US legal system. It will have long-term consequences to the legal system moving forward. 

Now on to the 'rape' charges. You'd have to be equally troubled, as E Jean Carroll is, to believe this complete wacko! From the completely fabricated 'incident' happening decades ago with zero witnesses, E Jean Carroll's karma will catch up with her - she is a disgusting 'human being', and nothing more!

The raid on Mar E Laro was unconstitutional. Period. This was nothing more than a hit job, whereas EVERY other president has taken classified documents.

To even bring up deaths from Covid, shows how deluded you are! Trump didn't 'allow' any of the deaths, and to even state this is nothing more than your own severe hatred blinding you. If anything, you can attribute a higher mortality rate to Democratic Governors, like Cuomo, who inserted people into nursing homes and then deliberately obscured the full scope of the deaths in New York! 

I appreciate your hatred blinds you, as you follow your unelected, DEI hire, Harris, ...right over the proverbial cliff! Harris slept her way to the top in San Francisco (good for her - it's simply funny), and intentionally damaged black people thru severe incarceration for marijuana charges - that is abhorrent! Harris then threw Biden under the bus in a coup to remove him and be inserted as the first presidential delegate to be anointed without even a single vote! Then, DemTARDS have the audacity to even talk about democracy!

Democrats are truly the party of democracy hypocrisy!

Hey. Just D(umbass).

Your parroting of Faux News talking points would be hilarious… if it wasn’t so goddamn sad. Troll, bot, idiot? Doesn’t really matter does it? You’ll end up in the same place as your orange “savior”: the dustbin of history.

Insults and nothing more - like every libTARD, cannot back up with any facts.

I’d hit you with facts if I thought for one second you were interested in actual debate. You seem to have swallowed every lie Trump and his cronies in the media have served up without question. Enjoy the view from the sidelines as the rest of us move forward without you.

Zero political accomplishments? Look it up. Harris has plenty.

Expand full comment

Yes, I've researched Harris extensively. From her deplorable record as a DA in the crime riddled, homeless infested streets of San Francisco, to being Biden's blatant DEI hire, Harris is an extremely inexperienced politician who will do more harm than good!

If Harris wins, the States will see increased inflation C/o her attacks on energy. Also, increased wars as the evil dictators around the world see what any sane person sees - a weak leader whom they will take full advantage of!

I had a tangential thought in this. I’ve read but not confirmed that everyone who signs up for Twitter is automatically set to follow Elon Musks account. If this is true, it seems,s to me to be a form of digital information insider trading. The analogy is far from perfect but I think it has some merit. He has a captive audience for his misinformation such as the deep fake video of VP Harris saying she’s a DEI hire and the more recent post since taken down that falsely claimed the UK was imprisoning rioters in the Falklands. In addition to forced access to his views, I assume there’s ad revenue that comes from it. I’m not sure this meets a legal test for financial fraud but at the very least, it’s shady.

Say what? Are you suggesting that here, in America, the rich captains of information supply propaganda instead of truth?

This is the land of Superman, Batman and Captain America. Say it ain’t so.

I almost wish there was a Marvel hero or heroine to save us. But we do have excellent writers here and can support them. Every single day we’ll have to fact check, keep an eye on local govts. Judges, etc. it’s a slog but it has to be done. ✔️

“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair.”

We must beat Trump to evolve beyond this whiplash of hope and despair.

🤔 interesting point 🤬 Wonder how many new sign-ups there are nowadays? Any MAGATs already agree with him & rational peeps are good at blocking so hopefully it has limited actual harm, but worth legal scrutiny 👏🏾

Harris IS a DEI hire! Biden stated he was going to pick a black woman for his VP, and that’s exactly what he did! Harris then threw her boss under the boss (opposed to sleeping with him), and was anointed her position as the presidential nominee! The liberal elites accomplished their coup, and now have the inexperienced puppet in place!

Keep believing that and stay in your bubble while you go down in flames with Trump.

You bet it does…. Just say Elon, he writes the checks, but that does not mean his employees will vote his way - not so smaht…

I just tried to share this to facebook and they removed my post, saying it broke community standards by SPAMMING and accusing me of trying to get likes!!

Try resetting your FB account, change your password.

No. There’s something that is triggering their AI. They removed it twice for me.

However, I copied and pasted the content and so far so good.

FB doesn’t like links that take you away from the site. Introduce the piece in your post but put the actual link in the comments. Seems to be the standard for a number of folks I follow.

I understand journalists being on twitter but anybody else is just supporting Musk. We need a more reliable, neutral social media source, like.... Substack.

Great investigative reporting. Thank you.

I dropped my Twitter account four months ago and only read what those who I follow put up. I wish users would get the message that it's owned (although diminished) and is used as mouth piece of Elon Musk.

How are all of his manipulations and lies covered under the 1st Amendment? Why is purposeful lying covered by one of our most important rights? Obviously lies we tell little kids about Santa et all are purposeful, but to keep the dream alive for as long as we can, aren’t in the same league as what he and his colleagues do.

Because, like it or not, Twitter is a nongovernmental entity / and is a private Corp.

Can do virtually anything and it's 1A protected. As it should be.

But EM has increasingly made it "government adjacent"...
