Came across this today. Seems a lot of folks on the right get uptight when government works for the people. "Buying votes" or some such. But what about when it goes the other way? The super rich giving kickbacks to the politicians. Most places consider that bribery. We call it speech, then wonder why 80% of the country is living from paycheck to paycheck.  www.tiktok.com/@california_uncle_tony/video/7176406274249231662?_t=8Y93BwDIu8U&_r=1 |

Do several hedge funds send out notices stating to make sure to leave a cut for the "Big Gal"?

I know. Elon seems to have been playing the game all this time. Like Trump, he knows how it's set up.
Maybe he's just sad about being #2 now? Do you think Twitter losses will be tax deductible?

Dems have 2 options
1. Rub a democrat as well. Which basically gives gop the seat.
2. Accept their fate.
Well played, sinema

One of the problems during the midterms was the GOP candidates were trashing McCain who still has fans in the state he represented. It's the Trumpers who hate McCain. So she likely hopes she can extend her political life appealing to McCain fans in Arizona. Sanders is an independent who caucuses with democrats. This could be the same. |

He is not paying rent on the Twitter office building. He is selling his own stock to fund twitter which has dropped him to the 2nd richest man in the world. He is auctioning off Twitter assets to raise cash. He is threatening not to pay the employees the severance pay they were contracted to get. But cry about inflation hurting Elon Musk. Whats hurting him is buying Twitter. If he had stayed out of it, he would still be the richest man in the world. |

Why mix Elon into Inflation? He didn't do it.
Twitter..........so loved when it was a hardcore Leftwing safe space. And they used to call themselves the tolerant ones?
It's tough to stay on top. There's always competition. One more thing the typical person never seems to learn.

You love to bitch about the left being intolerant when you are pretty intolerant First I EVER heard about Twitter had to be around for 2008. Colbert Report. Colbert said Twitter is for twits. But sure. Liberals are all in for Twitter! I thought Donnie & Elon were huge boosters of Twitter. |

how you forget how aghast they were that Trump used it so efficiently in helping him get elected. The orders went out, people got canceled and censored.
I'm intolerant? Aside from when I don't wanna foot the bills..........where am I intolerant of other American citizens? Whatever you want on your own time & dime.

Donnie was a bully. Called people nasty name & stuff, then you wonder that others did it? Like it or not, the President should carry a certain level of propriety. It feels like we slid down a few grade levels in our discourse & we haven't moved back up to a decent level yet. |

Sure am glad everyone else avoided doing that. ![[rolleye1]](//storage.proboards.com/7182076/images/MTjbungPBOzv0BKQvdPJ.gif)
You mean like F'ing interns? or having meetings while on the shitter? And whipping your dick out?
The 'division' that came to be so pronounced, was brought to you by BHO. He's the reason Trump got elected.

Gingrich was the one that started promoting GOP vs Democrat. But if course Black Man Bad. Did LBJ doing that make news then? Or has it come out after? Polite society & all? Miss Manners? But look at you go after democrats. You whine about the people who are drains, that 47% who don't pay taxes. Donald os one of them, isn't he? And while presidents are supposed to be audited Donnie wasn't. Talk about rules for me, not for thee. Twitter has always been a place for the most superficial of things, hasn't it? That's what the whole thing we were discussing, right? That Donald used Twitter efficiently to get elected? So it replaced MySpace & Tumblr Twitter originally was limited to 140 characters so it was the most superficial of communications. Like the old telegrams limited to like 10 words or an extra charge, only no need for it to go to a specific device. Everyone can send & receive them. But the 140 limit was doubled to 280 in 2017. So 12345678901234567890 12345678901234567890 12345678901234567890 12345678901234567890 12345678901234567890 12345678901234567890 12345678901234567890 It was for quick thoughts as the mood hit one. Superficial. Hence the Twitter is for twits. So it was always a place where idiots could throw out their mood and people who knew them or cared could see a snapshot of a mood or idea. Then what passes for modern news reporting would scroll thru them to report the mood of the nation! People have feels! Twitter was for emptyheaded momentary stuff & promoted by lazy "reporters". Why do a phone poll? Just post some tweets! |

Maybe it was Barrack's white half that made him such a divisive twat?
The media covered for EVERY Dem since the 40s, right up up til now even.
I didn't include Jimmy Carter, as he was always a decent man......and even Billy Clinton wasn't divisive, imo.
According to that one Return Rachel decided to wave around, he paid in over $10 Million one year alone. That's more than you and I combined will EVER pay.
So blame the IRS. They clearly missed something before, right?
He used it like a chatty 17 yr old girl. It was his means of getting his message around the MSM without their re-spin on everything.
meh, most of us really don't have too many thought worth more than that anyway.
The news itself is mostly emotions........has been for years now. That's how you appeal to them with things like Twitter.
The mood of the nation? I can guarantee you I could get the actual mood on a few specific things........and our Govt would do everything it can to avoid doing those things. It's that momentary, flash in the pan stuff that sounds good, but really doesn't do a whole lot that sells these days to our ADHD population.
