Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

This isn't an deportation level crime. This is "hang for treason" crime.

Elon Musk should be deported to ADX Florence or Guantanamo Bay Detention Camp

[–] [email protected] 29 points 19 hours ago (6 children)

Nah. Seize his assets, but make him stay here. Make that Nazi bastard experience life the American Way™ - living paycheck to paycheck at a minimum wage job (cause the moment his net worth guess to zero, his political influence does as well - another trademarked advantage of American living).

[–] [email protected] 4 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

Oh, I love that idea. Actually, first give him some time, where he gets to work for less than minimum wage at a totally shit job.

Then release him, with the criminal record. See how he does....

I really don't think it'll work. Americans absolutely love their celebrities. Elon musk will never be poor, people will just give him money for existing.

Damn straight! They voted for the other self-interested, erratic megalomaniac.

[–] BlameThePeacock 69 points 19 hours ago (3 children)

Yes they did. Musk and Trump literally campaigned together, Musk was on-stage next to Trump at multiple rallies where he spoke too. It was clearly reported during the election that Musk was spending hundreds of millions of dollars to get Trump elected.

Here's an article from September (before the election) with Trump saying he'd create DOGE and have Musk lead it. https://apnews.com/article/donald-trump-elon-musk-government-efficiency-commission-e831ed5dc2f6a56999e1a70bb0a4eaeb

Anyone who voted from trump and didn't expect this is either lying, or intentionally being ignorant.

You and I are paying attention at a level of detail that almost no Americans do. It would merely take an ordinary level of ignorance to be unaware of this.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 19 hours ago (3 children)

American ordinary level of ignorance is too damn low...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

American Ignorance is willful

[–] [email protected] 5 points 14 hours ago

You probably mean high. Their ignorance is too high. Their awareness is too low.

They’re fucking morons.

It’s odd though. The it guy at the company I work for is a trump fan, and he’s not stupid. I don’t understand this world anymore.

I retreat into my own world now.

resisting propaganda isn't about intelligence. it's about raising empathetic children

Elect a puppet, get a puppet. If anyone looked at Trump's bankroll for the election and thought, "Wow, what a bunch of great people donating for a better tomorrow," you are out of your fucking mind.

In this administration the Elongate will happen
