Holding Western stability hostage in the name of the oligarchs, good job voting everyone...

[–] [email protected] 32 points 4 days ago

No no no, you see, we showed the democrats by not showing up to vote! /s

uuugh... I made myself sick quoting those jackass fucktards. (I did vote, and screamed until I was blue in the face to get people to vote. About every year.)

In his shoes, I would think twice - does their team really want to present their dirtiest laundry to the world - such as owing an election to a media oligarch?

As for the EU, it's a massive bureaucracy which still follows its own laws. It probably won't change track. There is no single person to change its track.

However, at this stage of the game, I have the nagging feeling that some American may downregulate Elon Musk directly, far before the EU manages to step on his precious toe.

They do not care. They are the worst people this side of Pol Pot and Stalin and still get all the votes for the republican party.

I think we should collectively block twitter on our routers and be done with it.

Just curious, I left all my tech savvy in 2008. How is blocking Twitter any different from just not using it?

Never thought I would say this but PLEASE let Trump live another 4 years.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (2 children)

Stage 1. I want Trump dead in office, like asap.

Stage 2. I am terrified of a President Vance.

Stage 3. I want Trump live another few years.

Yiu know as well as I do that Vance was the real candidate all along. The orange buffoon will be martyred less than a year after he takes office to make way for him. Vance is much easier to control.

Vance is also directly out Peter thiel pocket or other areas around their crotch

Imagine caping for that fuckin' lizard. Couldn't be me.

x is a government platform now. Sign onto your government social media account.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Now that you say this, I’m not afraid they may make all banking transactions go through truth social or x.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

They don't need to do that, feds already have access to all of your banking information.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Maybe but then through X they can collect fees

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago

This doesn't make sense.. X wants to collect a fee here, us government is ran of the benefit of rent seekers.
