The Trump implosion thread!

Quote: ams288

Man, he’s really taking it well….

Quote:

ew York’s attorney general formally asked a judge on Thursday to hold former President Donald Trump “in contempt of court” and subject him to a $10,000 daily fine for his refusal to turn over evidence, even after he was ordered to by a state judge.

Trump would be subject to the proposed fine every day he does not turn over evidence he’s already been ordered to deliver.

Quote:

According to James’ office, the evidence was due on March 3 and Trump got an extension he asked for to push that back to the end of March. But as of April 7, investigators still don’t have it in their possession.

I am so enjoying the lefties melting down over Elon Musk buying a controlling interest of Twitter. They are literally screaming in all caps that the world is coming to an end because Trump's going to come back on Twitter. Elon Musk is going to reinstate free speech. As every good lefty knows free speech is a mortal enemy of liberalism. And if that wasn't enough the new president of CNN says he's bringing back fair and impartial news reporting to CNN. CNN has always leaned, you can't bring something back that was never there. What's really happening is all the things that were in place to make the stealing of the 2020 election easy is being dismantled. No more canceling people on Twitter, no more fake news on CNN, the states that matter are killing mail-in voting.

Elon Musk has expressed many views on a wide variety of subjects, ranging from politics to science.

Within the context of American politics, Musk is not explicitly partisan and has donated to politicians from both major parties. He supports policies such as universal basic income and a tax on carbon emissions and opposes some government subsidies, though his companies have received loans from the US government in the past.[1][2] On multiple occasions, he has mocked the use of pronouns, for which he has been accused of transphobia. Musk is also a prominent critic of short-selling. He endorsed Andrew Yang in the 2020 Democratic Party presidential primaries. Musk has expressed concern about issues such as artificial intelligence and climate change. He has also criticized COVID-19 lockdowns. Additionally, he has criticized public transportation.

Politically, Musk has described himself as "half Democrat, half Republican" and "I'm somewhere in the middle, socially liberal and fiscally conservative."[3] In 2018, he stated that he was "not a conservative. I'm registered independent [and] politically moderate."[4] Prompted by the emergence of artificial intelligence, Musk has voiced support for a universal basic income;[5] he additionally backs direct democracy and has stated he thinks the government on Mars will be a direct democracy.[6][7] He has described himself as a "socialist", but "not the kind that shifts resources from most productive to least productive, pretending to do good, while actually causing harm"—arguing instead, "true socialism seeks greatest good for all",[8] but later clarified not to take this tweet too seriously.[9][undue weight? – discuss] He supports targeting an inclusive tax rate of 40%, prefers consumption taxes to income taxes, and supports the estate tax, as the "probability of progeny being equally excellent at capital allocation is not high."[10]

Might have stayed in office if he kept his mouth shut more often.

It is amazing that in this day and age some people still believe the election was stolen.

Belief in the brays of the fat oaf is like believing in god: it requires blind faith and adoration wholly without proof.
