    The red margins in those two Florida special elections were comfortable, but not nearly what they usually are in those districts. That is probably more an indictment on Trump than Elon, but that Wisconsin result is very satisfying.

    I’m not too big on hope these days, but it gives me hope that at the very least this asshole can’t go someplace with his open wallet and unilaterally determine an outcome.

    It’s not.  Kaul’s lawsuit went through several judges who had to recuse themselves because of their endorsements to Crawford.  Crawford herself had to recuse.  The suit was reviewed by a judge in a conservative district in the state.  
    I wish I was a sacrifice, but somehow still lived on.

    LOL...trump is already kicking Musk to the curb. I know it was previously announced that Musk would step down from Doge in a few months but it sure seems like trump is creating distance.

    Not sure I buy that the biggest funding source in GOP history is being kicked to the curb...probably just less public facing.

    He's just trying to help Elon save Tesla's tanking stock price.  When the next critical election(s) come around, he'll definitely want to have Elon's funding for it.  Regardless of last night's result.

    Pretty sure he stated that he would only be involved full-time for the beginning of DOGE. He'll still be a key figure in exposing and eliminating government wasteful spending from the previous admin just less in public.  Probably needs to address the insurrectionists that are burning Tesla cars and dealerships.  Reminds me of the 'peaceful" BLM movement, lol.

    I'm not sure you understand what insurrectionists means. Not surprising. 

    the point of BLM was not violence. 
    the point of Jan 6 was violence. 

    the difference is pretty stark in my eyes.

    I don't condone either.

    Vandalizing tesla does not = insurrection

    Yeah the two aren't comparable no matter how hard the right tries.

    Exactly.
     
    And as has been pointed out elsewhere, burning cars is now called "terrorism", but breaking into the capital with the intent to hang some lawmakers and beating and even causing the death of come Capitol police officers is called "patriotism".
    Riiiiiiiiight!

    Oh, and how embarrassing when people use the term "terrorism" when they mean either sabotage or vandalism.
    Riiiiiiiight!

    Brilliant.
