Another Substack post or note pointed out that Musk’s account (either personal, or the stolen America one) had its settings changed to disallow community notes.
The Republican Party has become a terrorist organization. We should figure out a way to establish that fact legally, then prosecute them in a court of law. Somehow their illegal and immoral behavior should be stopped. At least put them on a terrorist watch list of some sort.
I can’t see Biden doing anything extra judicial. He’s too much of an institutionalist to step outside the law to just do something that radical, but I do think that if the appropriate agencies (the FBI for instance) don’t have some kind of a plan for some terrible contingency we’re all fucked. That’s my biggest fear post-election.
Doesn't need to be established. The Supreme Court has decided Biden could just declare it as an official act and send all Republican leaders off to black sites.
I sincerely hope Biden takes one for the team and has Trump, Vance, Musk, SCOTUS, McConnell, Lake, FOX, NEWSMAX, Brietbart, Alex Jones, etc. rounded up should they cause chaos with the vote count and seek to overturn the election results. The GOP might not need too much chaos with all the voter disenfranchisement and gerrymandering, but I think some foul play will ensue along the electoral map. By the time Biden is charged and brought to trial, and for the sake of argument -- convicted, by the time it gets through appeals, he will be one with the angels. But one could hope, locking up (on the light end of potential punishments) and ridding the US of the chaos agents, perhaps we can improve democracy and fix all the glitches -- dismiss the electoral college, fix the senate imbalance (regarding population represented), end the filibuster, realign SCOTUS, and end a president's ability to pardon himself and/or anyone committing crimes on his behalf (I'll happily amend the genders in this sentence once Kamala wins).
Biden is too much of an honorable man and institutionalist to ever take advantage of the lawbreaking the SCOTUS says he can indulge in. But I share you desire that he would do it anyway if it becomes necessary.
There are practical, political considerations like the outcry from Republicans (small consideration since they're going to scream no matter what you do), the off-putting of Democrats (who will continue to be ashamed of themselves for standing up to bullies) and the real damage it would do to our democracy while trying to save it.
But while I can't picture Biden actually shipping the traitors and terrorists (aka Republicans) off to Gitmo I do hope he's quietly letting folks like Alito, Thomas, McConnell and Mike Johnson know in no uncertain terms that they will pay a terrible personal price if they help the coming re-attempt to overthrown the government in any way (by questioning slates of electors, or a Gore v Bush type decision). Send a couple of the boys over to let them know it would be a big horsehead-in-the-bed type of mistake.
I'd love to see the Harris campaign focus some ads on combating President Vance -- insinuating that a Vance/Musk administration would quickly rid itself of the Trojan Moose that is Donald Trump. Make Trump paranoid his two most loyal soldiers are conspiring against him -- as both have well-documented negative remarks about Trump before they magically came on board his derailing train of thought.
Yes! Me too. I hope someone on the campaign or in the administration has been following the thread from Vance back to the tech bros of Silicon Valley (and SF) and their incel thought leader Curtis Yarvin.
Also, charge Musk with conspiracy & election interference. Denaturalize, seize his companies, and send him back to South Africa. Or, if he’d prefer, Venezuela.
"According to former President Donald Trump, the federal government is intentionally withholding aid to Republican disaster victims."
If they had any journalistic integrity and weren't trying to get Trump re-elected, that would be "Former President Donald Trump continues his false claim[*] that the federal government is intentionally withholding aid to Republican disaster victims."
[*] It really should be "lie" but even if they weren't supporting Trump "journalists" still wouldn't tell the truth that much.
This is absolutely disgusting but in no way surprising. Look at all the money and political haymaking there was around covid. These scavenger beasts aren't happy until they're picking our bones clean.

He’s such a thin-skinned little bitch. And a pathological liar.

"Florida is about to get walloped, again, sometime on Wednesday by Hurricane Milton"
Didn't Republicans sat Hurricane Katrina was God's punishment for the gays (presumably in New Orleans)?
The most prominent Florida resident is Trump. So wouldn't that mean Hurricane Milton is God's judgment on him?
It’s only judgment when it hurts people they hate. Those are the rules.
Yeah. I'm quite aware that Republicans practice "hypocrisy logic".
It is the new feudalism.
This is absolutely disgusting but in no way surprising. Look at all the money and political haymaking there was around covid. These scavenger beasts aren't happy until they're picking our bones clean.
I completely agree.
