    I hate musk, think he is a nazi, and will reject the world he creates. Glad he is taking this one on though. They deserve each other.

      It’s like watching two nasty creatures fight each other while you, who was going to be eaten by one of them, can get away, at least for a little bit. But if you had the ability, you stomp the fuck out of both of them.

        Please, trump is just the lighting rod for your rage at a system that is in the final stages of being taken over by economic forces. He’s the finger puppet on the hand of the general elite. Just because he’s a moron doesn’t mean he’s not your equivalent of a WWE heel.

    mind that he was willing to do all this together until he couldn’t get enough shit from mango mussolini for his pockets companies. he can choke on a bag of dildos after he gets his nuremberg trial.

    if these people, all of them, including the Dems who capitulate, owners of the media companies that censor in their name and push their fascist agenda, all ICE employees, don’t get their own nuremberg trials, and examples aren’t made of them, the US might as well throw the towel and declare itself a lawless land and a failed state.

        If he decides to really go after Musk ny stripping his citizenship, or taking away federal money, it’ll send a strong message to the other oligarchs to fall in line

    The truth is probably far more dark and fucked up than trump and Epstein.

      The only thing trump has ever been successful at in his entire life is being a reality TV star. It’s amazing that people don’t understand that that’s his role now, too. I guess he’s also been successful at laundering Russian oligarch money, but that’s his role now, too.

      The cult of personality behind Trump will shatter. And there will be cracks formed in the MAGA movement. New figureheads will try to take power and split the base.

      They will still be racist republicans, but to say little will change is just not true.

    It doesn’t matter.

    If someone unearthed video of Trump raping an 11-year-old, Republicans would love him even more, his approval ratings would go up, leaders on the “religious right” would explain that it’s all Biblical, and Trump would successfully sue for the profits from video sales.

      If you truly believe this, you need to take a step back from one or more echo chambers, because you’ve lost touch with reality.

      Trump waffling on the topic, without any ‘hard’ evidence, has already caused momentum in the opposite direction.

          That’s your assumption, not a fact. If hard evidence of Donald Trump literally raping a child was made public during his last campaign, I’d bet my life savings he wouldn’t be President today.

      I’d usually agree with this sentiment, but the MAGAsphere actually seems to be breaking with him on this one. The chuds are upset about this, and it might not go away so easily, especially now that he’s attacking his base over this.

        Well one of the things that nobody seems to have considered is that Elon has a bot army, an AI, and Twitter he can turn against Trump.

        In addition, and it may or may not be a coincidence, but he’s not as buddy buddy with Putin as he once was.

          I absolutely believe Putin is fueling this. President Vance is a collaborative agent for Peter Thiel and the Heritage Foundation. Heritage is a longtime Putin ally. The question is, will MAGA stop questioning their echo chamber after Trump is put out to rot? That is the gamble, and they are going for it.

              … because he has a ton of global influence??? He’s former KGB, one of the greatest misinformation diseminators of history. If you don’t believe that, you likely consume some of it.

                Ok. That doesn’t mean he’s behind literally everything the way liberals make out. The KGB were second rate information manipulators compared to domestic US operations anyway.

                  You are making a strawman argument. I didn’t say I am liberal, nor did I say Putin does everything. I said Putin is likely behind this, because Putin definitely has compromat on Trump. I also said he has global influence, which he does. These statements are obvious, supported by overwhelming evidence, and not so broad as your strawman
