We know what immigrants are stealing citizens jobs. Or mooching off the system. It’s him.

Yes. And not just Musk.
People fucking cheered when Ossoff said it.

An Apartheid emerald mine owner’s son is now the richest man in Earth. When you look at his upbringing, his sense of morals or lack thereof makes sense.
Elon is a born Nazi. He could never rise above it. It gave him what he needed to become he agent of fascism he is today.
Musk helped get us out of the habit of asking. By the time we reimplement that feature, it may be too late for his particular case. Also, it doesn’t need to be a country where he’s from or has any ties and if there are people there who want to kill him, that’s hardly our problem. Totally unrelated, but what’s that uncontacted island where all those missionaries keep dying?

Send him to Epstein Island where he has many fond memories, and then nuke it

He also fraudulently overstayed his student visa while working before naturalizing.
Way worse than anything Omar’s dad did.
Ha, no. It’s them. They should be investigating themselves… or at least Republicans.
This? They will piss away a fortune and achieve nothing.

Yeup. It should be clear still that this is not a reason not to vote D in midterms though.
And it should be noted how the Trump prosecution case stopped when he became president. So it’s not at all unimportant who wields the power when it comes to these court cases.

Of all things to ‘both sides’ this is stupid. One group is actually following due process, the other is literally ignoring due process and intercepting any attempt to reign in corruption.
And none of that ‘controlled opposition’ patter, due process was moving forward until Trump was re-elected and every bit of opposition was summarily dismantled and dismissed.

Womp womp, that’s the joke.

They collectively dragged their ass for four years. An obscenity.
Not to mention, Harris took a knee in the last election (why is a mystery but I bet it was $$$).
You know they generally don’t advertise for Republican votes in Presidential campaigns, don’t you? Harris did (“he doesn’t have to know how you voted”, unprecedented R outreach). Everybody knows that you need independent votes to win, it’s basic math.
I’ve voted, and you should too. But know the game, don’t fall for the dog-and-pony show, that’s the patter. You are repeating the D party line, and you can’t get more patter than that, friend.

The fact is, one party has an active and stated goal of stripping the US for parts and the people of their rights. The other is headed up by milque toast corpo stooges. I shouldn’t have to write a manifesto detailing the ills and failures of both parties to point out that basic but distinct difference in approaches. Dems are political mercenaries at best, Repubs actively campaign on removing rights.
And I’d love to see the D Party actually run on holding people accountable. Let’s not pretend that is an active campaign goal for the Dems. I’d die to hear basic patter like that from Dem leadership. 99% of the time they run to the middle like you pointed out.

I mean investigations are the first part of due process. I agree the rest needs to follow, but an investigation is the start of things.
We also need to quit electing people who like to scuttle investigations, destroy evidence, and stymie witnesses/victims. That is the bigger hindrance to due process.
- 17 days
Many of those things are clearly against the law and those perpetrators need to be held accountable (in 2 years, after they can no longer pay for pardons)

investigations are the first part of due process.
That is also the only part that the legislative branch can really do. Based on what is found during investigations, they can recommend charges, but that’s about it. Arrests and charges come from the executive branch. Trial and sentencing come from the judicial branch. This separation of power is a safeguard against king shit, and believe it or not, the king shit we’re seeing in action is still less absolute than it could be if not for some power not yet ceded to the executive.

Because you can’t arrest, charge, and bring to trial people without evidence, which is what the investigation is for.
- Binturong@lemmy.caEnglish17 days
No. Hang him. What more evidence do you need of his immense traitorous harm to America and the working class around the world that would require investigation? You’ll lethally inject one person for egregious crimes against one other person, but you’ll dither and fret over bringing meaningful consequence to set an example when it’s someone who has directly harmed millions worldwide and condemned an entire generation to immeasureable struggle and unprecedented crises. It’s vile and pathetic. At this point investigation is a very clear delay and distract tactic, and we all know why this is the best the good cop half of this corporate capital party has to offer.

Things to investigate, what am I missing?:
- His brother’s admission that they fraudulently used their student visas to start businesses, and if he didn’t admit it on his naturalization application, then that’s grounds for denaturalization.
- Election fraud related to his promises to pay for votes, and other suspicious statements.
- Countless privacy, data security and other laws violated at DOGE.
- His associations with Jeffrey Epstein.
- Use of his controlling power at his companies to benefit himself and defraud investors.
- Lies to the NHTSA and consumers about the capabilities and safety claims about Tesla cars.
- Illicit preferences and treatment for his companies as corrupt payment for funding the GOP electoral machine.
That’s in 4 minutes off the top of my head. I’m sure there’s more. Hakeem Jeffries, you can have that list for free to start with - or, hey, better yet, let’s get someone else who actually will take some action to lead the House.

I really liked that meme comparing immigrants and asking which is under investigation:
- the white trillionaire who publicly admitted to immigration fraud decades ago
- the darker skin congressional candidate who has been a citizen for a longer time, since she was a teenager. Where there are no credible accusations, the paperwork would have been her parents responsibility, and they raided her house on a rubber stamp “intent to terrorize” warrant

That was the feckless Biden Administration. They fucked up royally, and got MAGA elected again. The Dems won’t be making that mistake again, or they know they’ll find themselves in the same hot seat as MAGA. You may not think the Dems are going to follow up, but the MAGAs certainly do. DC criminal defense lawyers are reporting that business is way up, with potential investigative targets booking their favorite attorney now.
The Dems are already making plans for the investigations. Dems know that even if they could pass legislation, the Demented Queen won’t sign it, so the next 2 years are going to focus on Investigations. The plans are already in motion, witness lists are being drawn up, and subpoenas will be issued quickly.
Some people, like Musk, are going to be busy running from one Congressional investigation to another. They won’t have time to get in future trouble while they are vigorously defending themselves against past trouble.

What I’m about to state is not a personal attack. We can discuss this without hatred even if we end the discussion by agreeing to disagree.
Biden had 4 years to prevent Trumps 2nd term. Biden had arguably the best intel in the world in the world working for him. He had an abundance of resources. One self sabotage (if you want to call it that) was Democrats choosing to have Kamala run against Trump last minute. Even if it wasn’t last minute, Kamala is a minority and a woman which is a major disadvantage. Not to make this a race discussion but a white woman couldn’t even beat Trump. I’m not trying to make this about race but we can’t ignore that.
Democrats didn’t mess up. They were complicit.
Democrats and the Biden Admin giving the 2024 election the old-college-try to stop Trump getting reelected wasn’t a fumble. They threw the game on purpose. They were fully aware of what was at stake and the climate they were in. Democrats aren’t making mistakes. They are letting changes happen and then acting appalled. A sweep in the midterms will only slow down the train but they won’t stop it. They can’t stop it. The system is broken and has giren significantly more broken in recent years.

Sure. And soon after electing the Democrats again, they’ll bring universal health care to the US. Sure.
EDIT: They’ll even close Guantánamo Bay.
How many Benghazi sessions did Clinton have to endure? Gonna need like 10 times as many for him. Just hours and hours of time wasting for him, hopefully with lots of temper tantrums and perjury.
I love it. Yeah, Hillary had to deal with a lot of complete nonsense lawfare over that, and it was entirely made-up bullshit over 4 dead Americans. Because the cons knew she was going to run.
The least we could do is have some shitstain like Elon endure 100x that over real stuff. Because what he (and Vought) have willfully done is likely going to (probably has already) kill far, far, far more than just 4 people.
estimates are over 600k killed by doge which makes elon responsible

Find out what exactly Trump meant when he said, “Elon knows those voting machines really well,” and then thanked him for giving him Pennsylvania. Those were quite fucking revealing comments, to say the least. Add on all those weird comments from his little meat shield kid, X-10101-cknvalkmcnvoefr, or whatever the fuck his name is. They stole the election, they committed treason, so give them the televised firing squad they so desire.
