We have no control, the GOP has been bought and apparently they have the goods on most of them.

... to hang around Garland's neck. He could, and should, have done something. There's no conceivable way he didn't know about it.

But it wouldn't matter. He will go down in history as the most Do Nothing AG this country has ever had. I truly believe that he doesn't care.

... about not appearing to be partisan, which, ironically, has made him as partisan as all hell.

Garland is part of it.

He runs things like a Bond villain.


If you want some granularity in that: risk taking, going against the grain, breaking rules, drive, grandiosity, good physics skills and poor people skills (lack of empathy). I read somewhere that the laws of physics constrain his engineering companies, whereas absolutely nothing constrains the "social" business, though the section 230 free ride may be grinding to a halt.

This is illegal.
We have US NOTES, DOLLARS, not BILLIONAIRE SCAM BUCKS AKA CRYPTO!

IF THEY PASS THAT, WE WILL BE A DICTATORSHIP WITH SERFS!

OVERNIGHT!
FBI, DOJ, GOVERNMENT???? HELLO!!!
They break down doors for $20 counterfeit bill, at least that's paper!

Unless it is a meeting where we get food for all. I literally cannot buy a soda for someone from a state or district education entity or my company and I would be in trouble.

Seriously, we get training every year on this and I am not in contract negotiations, I am responsible for producing documents, reports, and presentation as part of our statement of work and I know these rules.

Repeatedly

The law has never really applied to people like Muskovite, and under Trump they're abandoning even the pretense that we're a nation of laws.

... to the corporate entity, and not the individuals who may own stock in the company. SpaceX itself cannot make donations. People who own SpaceX stock can.

Given the contents of my 401K (or whatever it is), I would not be able to support my prefered candidates if it were otherwise.

It’s all in the open and public. Oh wait, I know…. It’s a secret.

Money is speech, don't you know.

It's sad that most people don't know he didn't "invent" any of those possessions.

“Musk didn’t invent Tesla, he bought it
Musk didn’t invent SpaceX, he bought it
Musk didn’t invent Starlink, he bought it
Musk didn’t invent “X,” he bought it“

10 million others of similar resources started with what he had and he still came in first if wealth is your metric.

I can’t stand the guy and lost all respect for him way back when he called the key rescuer of the Thai boys soccer team a pedo because he didn’t get the glory.

Nevertheless, he does have a genuine skill for turning companies into ultra successful projects. The inventors of Tesla probably would have gone bankrupt without his intervention. He is not the technical genius of SpaceX, but was still a key leader in making that happen. I’m all for disparaging the guy for any number of reasons, but he does have the skill to make stuff happen. Many of the harebrained schemes he decided to embark in actually succeeded against seemingly insurmountable odds. Imagine the crazy ideas he had that he passed on. I don’t think it’s just luck or the silver spoon in his mouth. We should be honest about that. Even though he is messing up twitter big time, it looks like he is getting what he wanted out of it. He has one loud ass personal megaphone he can use to his advantage. It is working.

I would say his competence is a reason to worry if he really wants to run the country using his toy tr*&p.

In the "new" America the very rich, the very powerful, or the very celebrated are allowed to commit crimes and be judged, possibly, later and then to shrug them off as inconsequential, unimportant or too far in the past.

This is so unlike the treatment of, for example, a Black person with a toy gun, no gun, or simply walking, driving or existing in the "wrong" place at the "wrong" time. This person can be judged, shot and dismissed in an instant with almost no consequence.

Because he's a ratfucker. Musk + ratfucker = Muskratfucker! 😁
