Maybe they’ll do what Trump does. Just agree to it and then don’t do it.

Seems to be only California Teslas for now.

to arrest them

to arrest whom?

You should be able to (at some point) accumulate enough wealth that you can live at least half your life in luxury without ever working another day.

That should be a difficult , but possibly attainable goal.

You should not be able to accumulate enough wealth to make hundreds of people commit their life’s work solely to your whims. You should not be able to accumulate enough wealth to just buy politics.

That’s what’s fundamentally broken in our system. It’s fixable, if the right people want to.

No. As of 7 days ago, he has not been paid the $50 billion. The judge’s order is holding for now.

Did that actually get paid out? Last I heard the judge said no, multiple times.

But he’s an idiot, and if Vance sees a legit opening he might jump at it.

“I go back and forth between thinking Trump is a cynical asshole like Nixon who wouldn’t be that bad (and might even prove useful) or that he’s America’s Hitler,” he wrote privately to an associate on Facebook in 2016.

In another 2016 interview about his book, Vance told a reporter that, although his background would have made him a natural Trump supporter, “the reason, ultimately, that I am not … is because I think that (Trump) is the most-raw expression of a massive finger pointed at other people.”

He did win the popular vote this time. Not by much. He absolutely does not have a mandate.

Popular vote 77,302,580[2] 75,017,613[2]

Why not? We all know Vance is pretending for the position. If he sees a real shot, he might take it.

Nobody likes Trump as a person. They’re all just grifting.

The trick is getting enough to turn at once, and getting them all to know that there’s enough. A dumb one might rat it out because of greed, but they should know that doesn’t work. If they’re in that position, there’s no further loyalty rewards. The best they can hope for is avoiding retribution, and that’s not even guaranteed.

I wouldn’t go after individual Tesla owners. It wasn’t always like this. They adopted the earliest and cheapest (in the US) EV. I won’t buy one now, but I would have three years ago.

I understand the dealership thing. Are most of them directly corporate?

There’s still a difference between “heading” and “already there”. Not as much of one as I’d like, but still.

It’s literally a quote from his debate vs Hillary.

The independent Republicans were all pushed out of the party when they opposed Trump. Some were beaten in primaries, most saw it coming and retired.

No shit. His choices are to either double down or admit to himself that he killed his daughter.

Let’s not water down the term “traitor” during, well… you know.

As long as it’s more and not less.

I think it might be easier for them to access closed buildings and servers. I think it makes it easier for them to shut down agencies they don’t like, such as the department of education. And I doubt the federal workers would get back pay this time as they have in the past.

The shutdown would screw a lot of people. The CR could be worse. And the Democrats, as usual, are left to be the only adults in the room. Yeah , the Republicans might eat more blame, questionably, but a lot of people would get hurt regardless.

Plus it’s a great opportunity for dozens of trolls to push a republican narrative on social media. Maybe a message to anyone left-leaning to stop voting.

A shutdown can allow them to dismantle the government faster.

He had his green card. He protested against Israel. He’s now in jail, somewhere unknown.

The judge said he couldn’t be deported because he’s a resident, but he’s still in jail.
