Honestquestion: can she be tried in court for publicly calling people.yo commit crimes?
The Apartheid is still in the Muskrats. F-them and they should go back to South Africa.
Wow now, these aren’t the immigrants the Republicans were referring to.
LOL! Dark MAGAT is an immigrant and technically qualifies under the GOP rules.
I didn’t think the leopard would eat MY face.

There’s no need to sully the good name of Lord Megatron.
She can be called Megakaren.

Poll workers totally won’t realize the same person voted ten times.
And it’s totally feasible to register in 10 different places and drive to them all and wait in line 10 times in a single day.
do the poll workers care?
And definitely not something that will attract government attention when you’re repeatedly registering, no sir.
For that matter, when I was a poll worker, we had a computerized system, even though we did paper ballots, which noted when someone had already received a ballot regardless of where in the state they received it.
And to swing most elections they’d have to have dozens or scores of people doing it in a bunch of geographically adjacent districts.
She’s about as dim as her son.
I mean, it’s still stupid as hell to do.
But as to your second point, it absolutely astounds me how many people seem to be completely unaware that early voting is very much a thing for like weeks before election day. Why would they need to do it in a single day?
I bet if you could say you voted early which opts you out of all election coverage I bet people would do it more.
She’s not even American. Pretty wild for an immigrant to be throwing so much shade at immigrants.
It’s really not that wild, many legal immigrants want to pull the ladder up behind them.
Source: am married to an immigrant and work with several. All of them seem to like Trump’s immigration policies for some reason…
Class and race are the issues. Rich, white Immigrants? Sure, that’s them. They’re fine with more. Poor or non-white? No way.
I honestly can’t wrap my head around this. If I emigrated elsewhere to flee this shit-show, I would absolutely help other people cross whatever borders I did.
Immigrants are by definition people who left their culture for another. Why would they want to make it easier for others?
If I made it out of the US to Spain, the last thing I want is a bunch more Americans coming with me
Ive helped several Americans join me in my new home, from helping with first steps, picking up from the airport, getting cellphones set up, advice on how to get settled, introducing to new people etc. If they’re leaving the US and moving them and their families across an ocean, they’re more aligned with my preferred culture than the one we fled. I was met with nothing but acceptance and kindness when I reached out to locals when I was moving and as I arrived, so if anything, that’s the culture I’m trying to assimilate into.
Conservatives think that some people are just better than others and, surprise surprise, they’re near the top of the “natural hierarchy”.
“I’m an immigrant, but I’m not like those other immigrants because I don’t [Republican stereotype of immigrants]”
Democrats often display they same intolerance towards republicans though. Both parties have a habit of attacking rather than supporting. I thought this election might be different with the democrats, and I think its improved, but they still fight in the mud far too often for my liking.
That’s funny, because I would have said the exact opposite; Democrats have been taking the “they go low, we go high” approach for far too long, and it has historically allowed republicans to blatantly lie while remaining almost entirely unchecked. By this point, denying reality is an engrained part of conservative culture. This election is the first time in recent memory that I have seen democrats actually stop pulling punches and start blatantly accusing the republicans of lying.
And honestly, it’s a welcome change. “The tolerant left” was a term coined by the right, to be able to cry when liberals called them out for intolerance. Democrats have finally started ignoring the crocodile tears and calling them out for what they are.
Its a matter of perspective in my opinion. From my groups perspective, they usually do go high. From other groups perspectives, its rare they do. Its unfortunate democrats have taken advantage of so many groups of people, that’s what I mean by going low. They have gone low with republicans, and they have gone low with third party voters and uncommitted voters as well. They have tried to take the high road in most other places it seems though, which actually wasn’t the norm. Anti-corporate policy is relatively new.
How is that relatively new? I’m pushing 40 and since long before my lifetime it’s been democrats supporting unions, breaking monopolies, and placing regulations on industry.
It’s a matter of actually knowing each parties stance and voting records. Not anything to do with perspective.
Do you agree with the way representatives have voted and bills they’ve supported?
Or do you only care about “perspective”?
Or are you just a month old account that only talks about voting for Jill Stein?
Here’s the thought process:
- it was really hard to get into this country
- if we make it easier to come here, that nullifies the work I did
A similar argument applies to a lot of other things, for example:
- student loan forgiveness - I paid my student loans (or worked to avoid them), why should others get a pass?
- mortgage assistance - I saved to be able to afford a home, why should others skip that step?
A lot of people attribute this to selfishness, but I think it’s closer to jealousy. I have two kids who share a bedroom, and if I reward them equally for cleaning up when one did 90% of the work, that doesn’t seem fair to the one that did the most work, even if they’re older and more capable. I think that’s pretty similar to what’s happening here.
That said, I personally am in favor of much more open borders, and I’d like to get to a point where we don’t have quotas or anything and people can come as they please. My ideal is a quick stop at the border to fill out a form (i.e. temporary work authorization), then perhaps monthly digital reports about job status, and then a longer-term authorization once you can prove employment (or at least financial stability). We have a huge backlog, so in the meantime I’d like to simplify the paperwork and increase the quotas until that backlogged demand is exhausted.
Helping other human beings, even if there is no gain for you? Damn commie! /s
I didn’t know Elon Musk’s mom was Cruella DeVille
Isn’t she South African? Yeah.
And every fucking time it’s been proven in court, it’s been a Republican that did it.
“Because the deep state libs are in power so the only ones they’ll prosecute are the Republicans who do it”
I can hear it now lmao
The game I always play when I see news stories like this is
Who did it.
I always guess republican.
I’m not sure when I was last wrong… it’s very rare.
That’s because the LYING NEWS MEDI… jk
If everytime something happened and it was a Democrat guess what, Democrats would ditch that person. Republicans, tho, hold them closer.
Seems like a very boring game
Some people like winning all the time
I demand you stop calling her Megatron, that is way too cool of a nickname for that woman.
I don’t get why she’d be called that anyway.
It’s really not
Fuck you Megatron’s cool

Everything makes sense now. Elon works for mom.

She’s just prepping some Rs to think that faking votes is easy so they’ll be more accepting of the idea that the election was stolen when Trump loses. As a bonus she also makes it seem like the R party is the one stopping this fictional fraud.
It’s very clear that these people legitimately do not understand how voter registration works on even the most basic level.
That and creating voter fraud instances so that they can call the whole thing a sham and kick the inevitable case to the SCOTUS, whom will kick it then to the house. I believe this is the plan to get Trump the win.
The way she tossed it out there so casually, as though we knew everyone could do this but we were politely holding back and playing fair until this moment…
At least now we know where Musk gets his bazimga brain from.
Do they not realize how annoying and hard it is for the average person to vote just once during an election?
People don’t have that much free time.
It’s easier when you just stand in line for 3 hours, walk up to the intake desk, and immediately provide all 10 names.
This is why I love mail voting.
- receive ballot in mail
- fill it out
- mail it (must pay postage) or drop it off at a ballot box sometime in the 2-weeks before the election
I have never actually voted in-person, I just don’t have the time for that.
Here I’d have to insert between step 2 and 3 “get it notarized”, here ballots don’t count if mailed in without a notary.
You have to pay someone for your ballot to be valid? Sounds pretty unconstitutional.
That’s really weird. In my state, the only signature that matters is the voter’s, and the voter can track their ballot though every stage of the vote counting process. I forget what it looks like exactly, but I think there’s an option for someone to sign if they’re helping the person fill it out.
I personally drop mine off at the ballot box because I feel like it’s safer (and I don’t want to pay for a stamp).
Requiring a notary to sign would probably be considered illegal voter suppression and potentially considered a “poll tax” (because you’d essentially need a bank account to get access to a notary).
I’ve voted in person a few times. But I absolutely prefer mail in. I can calmly, quietly, and thoroughly look through the options on the ballot. In person I feel rushed and judged.
Every part of it is better with mail in ballot.
Exactly! I do it in front of my computer where I can research candidates and issues. If I went to a polling station, I wouldn’t have the time to do that research. I tend to spend 30 min or more on my ballot, even though I’m pretty sure I can accurately predict the results of the election before even looking at the ballot (in my area, the R will win; if it’s not a partisan office, the incumbent will win; if it’s a yes/no, it’ll be yes, unless it’s something I actually want, in which case no).
(in my area, the R will win; if it’s not a partisan office, the incumbent will win; if it’s a yes/no, it’ll be yes, unless it’s something I actually want, in which case no).
I’m not in quite a red area, but I feel your pain
I don’t even have to pay postage!
Look at you, fancypants. :)
Very easy in civilized countries that don’t try voter suppression.
Less than 20 minutes on average for me. That is, 20 minutes from leaving home, walking to the nearest voting place, voting, and walking back. Added about 5 minutes or so when part of my work commute.
We live in a world that if you call someone an idiot or violate some other arbitrary rule you get banned, but if you spread dangerous lies you usually are fine and rarely see a consequence
she’s obviously not going to get banned on her son’s weird personal blog
Yeah. Shit like this has driven me to the conclusion that the logical end state of civility politics invariably tends towards fascism.
and how do you deal with that?
By not treating civility as though it’s some kind of unbreakable rule. It’s okay to tell dickheads to stop acting like dickheads.
We could use more of that in general, I mean evaluation of the rules and their relative importance on a case-by-case basis rather than taking any one rule as an absolute or in some absolute order of priorities. Particularly when it comes to broad rules like freedom of speech or freedom of religion that might not always deserve the same priority for all cases where you could apply them.
Indeed.

Never pay taxes and rile up people to attack the government while spreading the most insane shit ever, president of the US.
Ah we’ve found the source of the insanity! So he was always like this huh, since birth.
Conspiracy theory is that this is another one of Elon’s sock puppet accounts. A version of his mom that appreciates his work.
That doesn’t even make sense unless he’s locked her up in a basement cage.
Otherwise she’d come out saying it’s not her.
If it is a sock puppet then she’s agreeing by not saying anything which means his mom does appreciate his work and approves of this and it’s not a ‘version’ of her.
Why would she bother? If I said my parents said crazy stuff, my parents probably wouldn’t notice or care. I don’t have a Twitter/X account, nor do I follow it, and the only exposure I get is here. If someone started saying crazy stuff about me, I probably wouldn’t notice, and if I did, probably wouldn’t care enough to correct the record publicly.
But if you pretended to be your parents saying it on the open internet? That’s pretty different
If I pretended to be my parents, my parents literally wouldn’t notice, nor would they probably care too much if they did.
wouldn’t notice,
Are you checks noted one of the richest people in the world stirring up shit where it’s almost certainly likely someone would tell them?
nor would they probably care too much if they did.
Then they accept it and are complicit.
Then they accept it and are complicit.
Strong disagree there.
And no, I’m not extremely rich or famous, but even if I was, I wouldn’t expect my parents to step in if I started doing stupid stuff, unless that crossed into slander or libel or something.
