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!

Thr problem is that there is supposed to be criminal prosecution for this felony so the courts won't entertain request for an injunction over it. Meanwhile the responsible authorities aren't willing to arrest and prosecute.

Musk’s attorneys argued in filings with the court that Musk was exercising his free speech rights with the giveaways and any attempt to restrict that would violate both the Wisconsin and U.S. constitutions.

Right, because money is speech, according to Citizens United. Utter horseshit since the day of the ruling.

Legacy media and dem politicians need to stop pulling punches and get to the bottom of WHY Musk needs Wisconsin. I get that the AP is hyperneutral, but the reporting, political, and public response on this issue has been irresponsible and feckless. The outrage is so wholly insufficient. This needs Benghazi and Hunter Biden’s laptop energy.

Could it be because it is a critical swing state and they are gearing up for the mother of all power grabs in the next presidential election?

Grow some fucking balls and attack this properly goddamn before the GOP cements their fascist coup of America.

Literal "Soros Bucks" in broad daylight.

Crickets.

It was always projection.

I had a good time in Wisconsin the 2 times I’ve been there but if y’all buy this shit after Louisiana just rejected all the amendments the governor proposed as a solid “fuck you,” you don’t get anymore beer. And we will escalate based on cheeses and how important they are to recipes.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

The meanest concept in Louisiana culture is “We will not buy your ingredients because you failed.” I’m within walking distance of 4 places that cook swamp animals. Mostly with sherry. But that’s not important. The important thing is that if ~65% of Louisianans can vote antagonistically, Wisconsinites should be able to as well.

I won’t root for the Vikings but try me.

Someone should stop Musk. With like a piece of metal if needed.

If it could be proven one way or another I'd bet the recipients work for or are connected to his companies in some way. $1 million is peanuts to him but he didn't get to be a billionaire by being "generous".

This is the SECOND time he's Bought Million Dollar Votes but Ending World Hunger is just TOO Expensive!

So when Dems do all this shit the GOP has been doing, will they say nothing?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago

Have you met the Dems? Doing even a tenth of this shit would be SO UNCOUTH.

[–] [email protected] 64 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Well that didn't take long. I literally said nothing would happen and it's already not happening.

[–] [email protected] 281 points 1 month ago (6 children)

I fucking hate America.

A billionaire can hold a multi-million dollar lottery, where the only way to enter is to vote for who he wants; but you can and will be arrested for handing someone a bottle of water while they wait in line to vote.

I hate Americans.

They have all these guns, and not one of them is using them in the face of a full fascist takeover of their country. Is there such a thing as a good American or are you all complicit Nazi enablers?
