He can't be arrested, he owns the country
Need more Luigi
FPV Mario 'kart' gonna be lit
Fucking do it already. His approval ratings are pretty low right now (billionaire approval ratings, fucking gross), so I feel like MAGA might not come to his defense this time.
I feel like MAGA might not come to his defense this time.
Hope this isn't wishful thinking. Trump thinks his son is a l33t hacker for being able to turn a laptop on. Musk on the other hand owns a major social media platform and has access to skilled technicians and programmers, as well as huge server farms which he doubtless uses to analyse voter behaviour and find the weak points where efforts should be focused in order to have most impact on electoral choices.
Trump certainly understands how essential to the disinfo effort Musk is, even though it's way beyond the grasp of your average MAGA. IMO Trump is not going to abandon Musk in a hurry.
Maybe. But on the other hand, throwing anyone and everyone under the bus to save his own ass has been Trump's MO for decades...

I think this went to court during the presidential election and if I remember correctly the court said that you can pay people to encourage them to vote but you cant pay them to vote for a certain candidate. So I dont see this going anywhere.

Oh? Demanded? Then what is the point.
Wake me up if he is at least arrested.
Every day I wake up praying to read the news that someone did the funniest thing to this nazi fuck. I'll settle for an arrest though.
It’s a me!
state charges too, Trump cant pardon those. Maybe thats the answer for republican law breakers, move all the federal laws to the state books. (Or maybe thats a bad idea, I'm not a lawyer)
This is a great idea. Moving everything from the Feds to the states is a core conservative value, so they should welcome this.
They care about this as much as they care about proper handling of classified information
They'll care plenty when their representatives start getting tossed in state penitentiaries, where they can't be pardoned.
Lol yeah, right
Rule of law for fascists does not apply in fascism buddy
You literally have a convicted felon as president
States are different from Federal. If a blue state incarcerates a MAGA leader, there's nothing HitlerPig can do to get them loose, short of military force.
It would be fun to snatch up Jr on a cocaine charge.

Lol nah. Their only core value is hypocrisy, so they absolutely would not welcome it.
Valid.
It's a shame, too. If "states rights" ended up being the fatal flaw in a neo-Confederate coup attempt, that would be just desserts.
please, please, please.....oh man...please....I love Wisconsin cheese....please.
Nice rhyme. I really like it.
Put out an arrest on Peter Thiel too, since he is the real puppet master of all this bs.
Pls do, but we don't take that shit stain back
Billionaires found a cheat code with stochastic terror. Super effective and seems impossible to legislate around.
Apparently this is the new trend among Sociopathic Oligarchs - having their own pet politician. Its exactly the kind of rich guybtrend they would jump on. Then they can compare their collection of politicians like kids comparing baseball or Pokemon cards.
The goal is to be the guy who has a really high level politician on a leash. The MuskRat is clearly thebwinner here, since he owns HitlerPig, but Theil is doing pretty well by owning Vamce. Then there's the guy who owns Clarence Thomas.
I'll bet Sociopathic Oligarchs all over the world are scrambling to lock up control of one politician or another.
This is why we shouldnt allow 1) Billionaires to exist, and 2) money into politics.
Honestly, and I may be wrong, I think Thiel is the one who owns everybody. Musk is nothing more than the court jester and he is too narcissistic and stupid to realize how he's as much of a puppet as trump is. Maybe even more so. Thiel is really scary because he's actually smart enough to know how to play the game and keep a semi low profile. I think he's happy Musk steals the show.
It may be a conspiracy and I want to wait and see before I commit to it, but there has been some talk about how Thiel's end goal is to destroy old civilization and create techno states where people like him are the overlords who have complete control and freedom to do as they please without any legislations and restrictions getting in their way. He has been talking about this since 2009, maybe even further back, of how he wants his own techno state that is separate from the laws of the rest of the world.
It sounds so fucking insane to me that I haven't really talked to anyone about it in case I'm just falling for some crazy conspiracy shit, but looking at what they have been doing since trump got into office, it certainly looks like they are in the process of actively and knowingly dismantling and destroying America. Musk said as much: that they were going to tear down and rebuild the nation. But fuck it if I know what the true end goal is. It might as well be a bunch of rich boys who have collectively lost their minds and think they are living in a cool action movie and are too stupid to understand what they are doing.
You are on the right track, but it isn't Theil driving it all. Putin is the real leader, using The MuskRat and HitlerPig as his muscle, and the Sociopathic Oligarchs of the world are all following his lead. The writings of Curtis Yarvin is their Bible, who believes Democracy is a failed system, and the planet should be controlled by those with the money. Obviously, that resonates strongly with the Sociopathic Oligarchs of the world.
But you are correct that the ultimate objective is a New World Order in which the Sociopathic Oligarchs are in complete control, not countries, and the national leaders will be on leashes held by the Sociopathic Oligarchs.
None of this is "conspiracy theory," they all talk about it openly. Vance, for one, quotes Yarvin often.
Lock him up! Lock him up! Lock him up! Our tax dollars made him so rich he is now an enemy of the free world. He has already declared war on the working class we need to neutralize this threat for the future of democracy in the world. This needs to happen NOW!
Good! Someone lock him up!
White rich rascist getting arrested in america? You guys are hilarious
