His general policy of freedom of speech, but not reach.. is good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gave multiple example in a prior post. With the intense hate that many have for Musk, why hasn't he been charged? because there isn't proof of legal violations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charged? With what? And by whom? I have not contended that is even on the table. Sanctioned? Perhaps. That is effectively what the EU is contemplating. That said, there are a number of things Musk has done that are clearly securities laws violations that he has not been charged with. For example, when he was acquiring his Twitter stake he broke at least two laws, but was never charged. It is good to be the richest person in the world who is also very vindictive. 1 Drowning in data, but thirsting for knowledge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no doubt it is a version of what is good for thee is not for me. It is ridiculous that while there is a law banning Congressional trading on material non-public information, it is never enforced. Hell, if you enforced this law you might not need term limits.

Unfortunately the damage is already done and there are too many people involved so they just keep looking the other way. I am sure they are getting nice kickbacks for looking the other way.

Offthemat Posted October 23 Share Posted October 23 Election Exclusive: British Advisors to Kamala Harris Hope to "Kill Musk's Twitter" PAUL D. THACKER AND MATT TAIBBI OCT 22, 2024 The British are coming, to meddle in our elections! In an explosive leak with ramifications for the upcoming U.S. presidential election, internal documents from the Center for Countering Digital Hate—whose founder is British political operative Morgan McSweeney, now advising the Kamala Harriscampaign—show the group plans in writing to “kill Musk’s Twitter” while strengthening ties with the Biden/Harris administration and Democrats like Senator Amy Klobuchar, who has introduced multiple bills to regulate online “misinformation.” Senator Klobuchar’s office did not respond to request for comment. Annual Priorities • Kill Musk's Twitter • Advertising focus • Trigger EU & UK regulatory action • Progress towards change in USA and support for STA https://disinformationchronicle.substack.com/p/election-exclusive-british-advisors 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WrestlingRasta Posted October 23 Share Posted October 23 We wouldn’t need term limits if we the people had the balls to not vote for ***I need help expressing myself***s we don’t want in office. The constitution built in term limits for us to exercise, but we flock to the herd too much to exercise that power. Complain and blame is easy.

Offthemat Posted October 23 Share Posted October 23 People do vote for who they want in office, or at least, who they think they want in office. Term limits would have a very superficial impact on our government, new guys acting hastily are going to be just as easy to corrupt. George Soros has found a fairly successful method of influencing our society. The politicization of law enforcement in this country is the danger most likely to lead to our downfall. If laws only apply to some people then taxes will too. And responsibility for doing the work. Eventually, as many as can, find a slot in the preferred bunch and there’s no one, or not enough, left to treat the water, generate the power, or drive the trucks and tractors. No one to defend the country. It’s history. It’s human nature. And there are those who would place their posterity in that predicament by sloughing off their vote based on such shallow reasons as melanin, genitalia, or the incredible evil of killing the unborn. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(it doesn't matter that it's trump this time, remember how romney the milquetoast was treated?) don't tell me GOP won't. I voted obama. i wrote my name in the first time Trump ran. and I voted clinton once too. i also voted for ben nelson, a democratic senator from nebraska 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny Deck Posted October 23 Share Posted October 23 This shows 1% more Republicans voted for Biden than Democrats voted for Trump. I'm not sure this is a meaningful distinction. Straight ticket voting is becoming more and more common. There are very few splits senate delegations anymore, and who the state voted for for president is very determinative of what party the senators are from. https://ropercenter.cornell.edu/how-groups-voted-2020 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jross Posted October 24 Author Share Posted October 24 Can you read the signs? Today, I met two first-time voters—both women, and both supporting Trump. In Kansas' largest county (Johnson), early voting shows a 10% higher Republican turnout in 2024 as compared to the 2020 election results, and the number of early voters has already surpassed previous records. This trend is significant for several reasons: Higher voter turnout overall suggests increased engagement. A stronger Republican showing indicates a shift in momentum. Women voting for Trump challenges the typical Democratic advantage among female voters. *early voting is mail in + in person. Results current as of Oct 23, 2024.

jross Posted October 25 Author Share Posted October 25 (edited) Voted early today in a county with less Dem% rate in 2024 compared to 2020. I’m surprised given the steady stream of predominantly women voters at this voting location. Edited October 25 by jross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m surprised given the steady stream of predominantly women voters at this voting location. As you know we live in the same area and I have two neighbors with "Harris Walz Obviously" signs. Is that not about the dumbest sign they could come up with? Half tempted to ask them what exactly is so obvious but they are both newer to the neighborhood. Ironically one is from Minneapolis so they know exactly the horseshit that Walz is about but still think they need to publicly announce their candidate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
