Another classic case of the rich being above the law.

I prefer that, like Fuck Ted Cruz, we Canadians not take the blame for Muskox.

Ta, Marcie. I hope Phony Stark is not to rich and white ever to suffer any consequences.

Good old "No true Scotsman" fallacy. Musk was a non citizen who lied on his entry documents and broke the conditions of his visa, but that doesn't mean he was An Illegal. Everyone knows that Illegals are poor and brown.

In fact, the major category of "illegals" in most countries, is people overstaying tourist visas.

"Publishers and owners are usually off in their own worlds, occupied with buying their girlfriends fancy panties and dresses made out of panties..." Marcie, that one seemed oddly specific, but brava for this post! It's gratifying to read about facts which support my belief that Phony Stark has always been a POS with an anal-expulsive personality. Now if only the Feds could do without him and his businesses! Otherwise, why continue to do business with "an illegal"?

If you are part of the in-group; laws are there to protect you and your possessions, they never constrain you or the in-group.

If you are in the out-group; laws are there to constrain and legally bind you, they aren't ever intended to protect you.

It's always the ones you most expect.

I dunno if its cool to ascribe this to WP.

Elon skipping town on Stanford and the subsequent hullabaloo with the SEC, has been very public knowledge *at least* since 2022 when he bought Twitter.

I remember reading a huge tweet thread, I think before that, where someone had evidence of all this, including something about Peter Thiel paying someone off to get Elon a degree he didn't earn from a reputable school. The degree was also in business and not tech.

Elon is back Trump to kill the numerous federal investigations into his companies’ many violations of the law.

It's OK, according to MAGA, because he is a Rich White Male.

Guess who will get an automatic tariff waiver on his Chinese car batteries?

Want to buy a clue?

“There’s no such thing as “the media.” There’s just reporters, who did not get into it for the money, but the pleasure of bringing discomfort to the comfortable.”

Fucking this. STFU about the “MSM” all being in the pocket of this or that politician or special interest group.

Yah, but it's awful hard for them scrappy cub reporters to live without a paycheck so that means working people who only care about how much money their publication/news channel makes.

Do I personally think most of the reporters love softballing interviews, sanewashing Trump, and "both sides"ing every detail? Nope!

Does it still happen enough that there's a major issue with nearly all media apparatuses in this country? Totally.

Like Scooby Doo, the culprit is always rich white guys being greedy.

"Joe Biden at least had some sharp words to say, though. “He was supposed to be in school when he came on a student visa. He wasn’t in school. He was violating the law. He’s talking about all these ‘illegals’ coming our way.”"

THEN LITERALLY DO ANYTHING!

This is exactly the shit that gets me fucking livid about the current administration. If anything like this came up about Harris, she'd be dead to rights as the GOP would shit themselves and do everything they could to screw her over. Unbelievable.

Rome is burning and Biden (and many other high-level Dems) continue to stick to """""civility""""". Or who am I kidding, not pissing off the doners.

Ah! Ah!

I come from the land of the Apartheid blokes

From owning mines where the diamonds flow

The foot of the gods

Will kick my ass to new lands

To flee from daddy, sing and cry

Fortune, I am coming

On I flee with threshing oar

My only goal will be the North Murrican shore

Ah! Ah!

I now come from the land of the ice and snow

Where the Tragically Hip sang 'bout blowing high dough

How soft your rules for whities

Can make fortunes of war

Of how I spread the lies of yore

I am your illegal overlord!

{harrumph} That's actually rather good.

On November 6, no matter the result of the election, Biden should deport Musk, using Seal Team 6 to carry it out if need be. And then, he should pre-emptively pardon anybody who carries out his "Presidential core duty orders." Then, send a thank you to the 6 assholes on the Supreme Court who gave him permission to do it, without fear of any repercussions.

This guy is a real fucking danger.

He was on something the other day blathering on about how "disinformation" is a liberal propaganda term b/c "who gets to decide what is 'propaganda?' The government? What a laugh."

I'd rather have my fucking government decide it than fucking corporations who do not even pretend to have my best interest in mind.

This guy needs to be GONE. I don't think people realize what a real fucking danger he is.

And he had his toddler kid/s with him at last night's hate rally. That should be considered child abuse.
