Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I realized this morning that for how much Luigi is praised there haven't been attempts to follow his example.
I don't know why that felt relevant on this post and I'm definitely not advocating anything, just an observation
Most people capable of murder do not care about their fellow humans; and those of us who could often lack means or have to protect others closer to home. They cannot just go away without harming others who need them.
Once you get past all those filters it’s a very tiny percentage of people who have motive, means and opportunity. Most of those get unlucky.

That's some pretty difficult tech to come by that he allegedly used. Here's what I've worked out so far.
3d printed silencer and mech. Steel tube. Of the shelf cartridges altered to be subsonic exiting the barrel.
Hardly anybody is capable of such things, which is why it should be totally acceptable and not remotely a crime to share the information he used.

And what will the Republicans do if it is discovered that Tesla was manipulating and committing fraud in its accounts?

I kinda want him to live in gitmo for the rest of his life.
The only people who "care" about Musky are the ones who dumped their life savings into Tesla stock.

What a misguided thinking, way to shoot on their own feet. By now, it should be clear that anything republicans perceive as weak, fragile, or reflective of their own insecurities triggers aversion.
trump managed to survive such perceptions because his mugshot projected a "cool" toughness or because narratives like "chosen by God" framed threats to his life as some divine bs. Musk on the other hand… getting his feelings hurts and being bullied by democrats does not create strong optics for republicans to rally behind, especially given their frequent ougabouga war cry of "dems/woke tears" or "go woke go broke".
Keen to see where this leads as musk is clearly expending significant influence at a rapid pace.

And how many lives do you think he’s destroyed as he takes a chainsaw to their careers?
