Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

I kinda want him to live in gitmo for the rest of his life.
i mean, what did he expect if he threatens to slash social security? any attempt to slash social security is a declaration of war to the civil class; and if you're declaring war, you better be ready to die.
how can we respect their lifes if they don't respect our lifes?

I don't want him dead. I want him poor enough to need a gofundme when his drug abuse takes its toll.

She’d a tear for the billionaire as he dismantles our social safety net to give his cronies a tax break.
There isn't much of a safety net to dismantle, but he'll find a way.
The people Musk told that empathy was bad don't have any empathy for Musk?
no but see it's only bad when it's not for me. obviously. when it's for me it's good.

They say things like this because their base wants to kill people they dislike. Most people don't want to kill people they dislike, they want them to win three Guinness World Records for longest lasting, least operable, and largest hemorrhoids.
He is such a ridiculous asswipe that it seems like he’s doing it on purpose to help distract from other billionaires falling in line or random horrible shit the administration is doing.
I doubt it’s an act, and I suspect he’s really just that much of an asswipe, but damn.
Empathy for me, but not for thee!
He's one of the most prominent disconnected individuals out there. It's almost certainly not an act, he's just an idiot. One of the most powerful and influential idiots that has ever existed, unfortunately...

I realized this morning that for how much Luigi is praised there haven't been attempts to follow his example.
I don't know why that felt relevant on this post and I'm definitely not advocating anything, just an observation
Most people capable of murder do not care about their fellow humans; and those of us who could often lack means or have to protect others closer to home. They cannot just go away without harming others who need them.
Once you get past all those filters it’s a very tiny percentage of people who have motive, means and opportunity. Most of those get unlucky.
Just about everyone is capable of killing given the right circumstances.

That's some pretty difficult tech to come by that he allegedly used. Here's what I've worked out so far.
3d printed silencer and mech. Steel tube. Of the shelf cartridges altered to be subsonic exiting the barrel.
Hardly anybody is capable of such things, which is why it should be totally acceptable and not remotely a crime to share the information he used.
Just because you didn't hear about something doesn't mean it's not happening.
The home of State Accident Insurance Fund Corporation (SAIF) CEO Chip Terhune in Lake Oswego, near Portland, was shot up in the early hours of Feb. 21, the Lake Oswego Police Department said Wednesday.

I wouldn't be surprised if there's been other incidents which were kept away from the news.
Imagine saying "They basically want me dead." and then wearing your child as a human shield. Father of the year.
I don't want to kill Musk, but I'm not going to shed any tears about anything bad that happens to him or any other racist, fascist piece of shit.
Don't kill him. Just tax him like they would with a normal working person. That would throw him into a world of sufferung.
Put him to death for treason and tax his estate at 100% and absorb Space X into NASA.
I think he's done enough damage and stolen enough from the american people that he deserves to hang.
It isn't just him. The whole oligarchy have understand that the guillotine is being prepared and that they are next.
Then maybe they will pretend to not be assholes, and thus save themselves.

Clarence Darrow wrote: "All men have an emotion to kill; when they strongly dislike some one they involuntarily wish he was dead. I have never killed any one, but I have read some obituary notices with great satisfaction."
Just every day some little misfortune to balance out karma like wet sleeves after washing hands, occasionally stepping into dog crap, marmalade toast falling on the floor upside down, a few paper cuts, stepping onto lego barefoot, mobile phone falling into toilet bowl and so on.
Whoa whoa whoa, wishing death upon someone is one thing, but wanting them to step on a lego barefoot? You're a monster.

Yeah, I don't want to do it, but it would be convenient if he did
If empathy’s a weakness then Karma is a bitch
I wish for him to be reborn as bee, so that when in anger he stings a person, he must remove his stinger himself in a desperate plea to survive or tear his innards out in the ultimate karma that would humble his soul.

Empathy, like tolerance, should really be considered a social contract. If he doesn't have empathy for the less fortunate than him, I have a really hard time having empathy for him.
Musk: Acts like a Nazi
Society: "A good Nazi is a dead Nazi."
Musk: "Y U DO THIS"
