If I recall it’s a bit more twisted than that. Musk can’t legally just give money to make someone vote, so they’re actually giving the money to a sponsor, but playing it up like it’s some raffle.
Its just another game to undercut democracy and use his wealth to break the system.
Thanks! That helps a lot!
Out of curiosity what do you do at the protests? Is it just standing around or something more involved?
When I started reading this I thought they were going to say how it highlights the challenges of high-profile individuals in the SEC. How can they go after Elon without a conflict of interest given he basically owns the federal government.
Yeah, according to this it’s around 2/3rds of the US falls in this range - https://www.aclu.org/documents/constitution-100-mile-border-zone
Third prong, looking constantly for new information. Yeah, most of these sites may be basically static, but it’s probably cheaper and easier to just constantly recrawl things.
I keep expecting something, the lifetime pass has more/less paid for itself.
That being said, they do still offer the lifetime pass, so clearly they see it as worth it.
Samba Bamba!!
To add to this, perfect is the enemy of good. You probably won’t do it as well as a professional, but having it done is better than not at all (since DIY is generally cheaper.
I never understood the criticism of Bidens handling of Afghanistan. He was given an impossible deadline (due to Trump) and followed through with what I imagine is minimal casualties. And at the end of the day, he did what three other president’s coudlnt do, which was get us out of there.
If you look most are “first_name.last_name@” so it should be big.balls@doge.eop.com
Exactly this, Biden wasn’t better health wise but surrounded himself with competent people.
Right now we have a fox news host leading defense, an anti-Vax moron handling a measles outbreak, a wrestling tycoon killing our education system, and more.
So the military was justified in their actions at tiananmen square?
My point is that the US has not been willing to escalate by using live rounds or military intervention in over half a century (at least to my recollection) against its citizens.
I think the counterpoint is that when something like Kent state happened, the government backed down. The question will be if they’re willing to use live rounds in the future and not back down (not that less lethal munitions are much better, but it is different).
I mean it’s really not close to lawless, it’s just we’ve decided one man is king and can’t do anything illegal
Plex and plexamp is the best music hosting setup I’ve found too. Users can have their own playlist and there is some smart playlist generation.
They also had (maybe still have) tidal integration.
However, you’ll still be relying on other services (probs spotify/etc.) to find new things.
I think you mean if people understood inflation was caused by the pandemic and Trumps monetary policy we wouldn’t be here.
The number one factor in the election was the economy. Sadly, regarding Palestine, I think democrats would loss as many votes as they gained by taking a harder stance.
I don’t know, definitely feels like the democrats passively supported, while Trump seems to want to participate.
Can’t say the democrats were making the right choice, but Trumps stance is objectively worse.
UK went through industrialization leading to its empire, and the US was the industrial power during its ascent. Same thing with Japan before WWII.
Many imoeralistic powers seem to go through big industrial growth before expansion.
Where’d you get the 70%? Last I saw it was like 52% - https://www.democratandchronicle.com/story/news/2025/03/31/donald-trump-approval-ratings-what-the-latest-polls-show/82703049007/
