I like Presidents who make Decisions based off who pays them the MOST money!
Sooo… he’s admitting to being bought and paid for, right out in the open because he knows no one will touch him.
Lobbying in action...
Trump going back on his word? Well color me surprised
Nice cheap words. Nothing enforceable. Just like a car salesman. Look at the contract. Project 2025 to know what the real plan is
Seems nobody has mentioned how NHTSA has been looking very closely at Tesla autopilot and FSD. Its no wonder Musk would shell out what amounts to nothing for him in an effort to be able to continue offering his unsafe products.
But Musk has more recently embraced conservative politics, especially the issue of free speech. Musk bought Twitter in 2022, rebranded it to X, and has dismantled many of the checks and balances meant to limit hateful speech and misinformation on the platform.
Why is free speech a conservative cause nowadays? It should not be.
Because what it actually means is the freedom for them to spew their hate speech without consequences. Freedom of their speech, not others'. They hate being "punished" for their hateful ideologies and view it as censorship. Being able to spread their hateful beliefs to large groups is extremely important in propagating it to other people. Conservative created platforms are inherently limited by the fact that their audience is not only quite small but also everyone there already believes their bullshit. They want and need to place their hate in mainstream places where others will see it and hopefully come to believe it
There's also the bonus effect of reducing both the amount and proportion of non-conservative voices.
But not electric boats????
Trump says the quiet part ("I am totally bribe-able") out loud, all the time because he's a complete freaking idiot. There is no filter between his mouth and what's left of his brain.
This is the real Trump. The moron. This isn't "off the cuff","exaggeration" or "locker room talk" Believe people when they show you what they really are.
because he's a complete freaking idiot.
The scary part is nobody's listening. I can scream at the top of my lungs the fact that vaccines are harmless but measles outbreaks are increasing. People out there hunting immigrants while the 1% pockets their surplus value.
People aren't thinking, they are just reacting on emotions.
The problem is lots of folks have been more or less made that way through decades of action by the right. Seriously the more or less complete collapse of leftist action back in the 70s and 80s fucked us, it meant that the right was able to hog wild and build up massive institutions like talk radio and fox. Theres one thing we have going for us and thats the fact these institutions are finally going up against actual resistance, and that has only been rebuilt over the last 14 years or so.
But why did " collapse of leftist action back in the 70s and 80s"?
I over exaggerate a bit but basically thats when the boomers came into influence, combine that with the fact the fuckery started with Nixon and well any action would seem to be non existant. Also by the 90s it seems to be irrelevant snough that I cant name any large instances besides the some minor actions done by the alt crowd.
At least he should have gone with the talk of "I was skeptical of them and like those iconic petrol cars like every American patriot, but I've talked to this great man, and after consideration I've decided to support electric cars. I bet soon they will be just as iconic as those muscle cars with their V8 engines.".
That's what his supporters will say he means. It really doesn't matter what he says.
It's what he means. He's just communicating with the common man
/s
Yeah, but what if there is a shark 10 feet away? What do I do then?
putin supports trump bigly. It must be a wonderbra made of tit-anum, one can only assume. Or lots of money. It could be money 💰 yeah.
USA: Best politics money can buy.
300m+ citizens, and policy is based on the employer of one man.
Maybe Elon can add an auxiliary engine solely for rolling coal
