@boredtweeple @buggirl Son, he's good for the tens of thousands or more people that have jobs because of him and the hundreds of millions who benefit from what he produces. You're just envious.

For the idiots justifying Elon and his Trillions although I accept more than 60% are AI bots owned by Elon. Elon is asset rich and cash poor (so called) because this is the way to avoid paying tax not from some innate goodness. One Trillion owned by an individual through some companies is good for him and maybe a few thousand rich people, same money spent on hunger, education will lead to over 30x multiplication of wealth benefitting millions almost eradicating hunger atleast for a few decades possibly forever. Poor defending Elon (not bots and not paid accounts) are like self harmers. There is no logical. Moral or economic rational for this obscenity. Wealth leads to more wealth he has started experimenting in US and UK but will soon be the king of earth and all of us will be his slaves. The plan is not to occupy Mars but to occupy earth.

in nature if a monkey hoarded 1 trillion bananas the other monkeys would beat that monkey to death and take his bananas

@buggirl Child, he doesn't swim in a pool of money like Scrooge McDuck. He builds things that create things of value that people want. We're not as stupid as monkeys.

@Spamsum @CatWineMix @TTomTToro @hashjenni Because people wanted what he produces. And that's a problem because...?

@CatWineMix @TTomTToro @hashjenni ... no there's nothing confusing about it. he means value as in valuation of his companies went up and that made shareholders money

Capitalism is better than socialism because one man gets to be a trillionaire instead of everyone having healthcare

@Spamsum @TTomTToro @hashjenni You saved this? Seriously?

@TTomTToro @hashjenni glad you made this one Tom, it's one of my favorites. I remember saving it YEARS ago

@TTomTToro @hashjenni Son, how is Musk destroying the planet?

@hashjenni When you do do for us what Elon Musk has done, you can have a trillion dollars too, son.

@woke8yearold I used to read him.

Over on the blue site popehat is calling for Elon Musk to be killed for being racist His brain has been cooked, although admittedly he was unstable to begin with

@ProfWBCarter Why were they struck, child? That would seem important.

Folks definitely making clear in the nature of their comments why the striking of all black jurors, in addition to the other issues, was a problem for due process.

I have not yet read the full trial transcript. But so far, I do know this. Karmelo Anthony was entitled to a jury of his peers. He did not get that. On that ground alone, he is entitled to a new trial. Minorities are not interchangeable. The prosecutor’s reported proffered reasons for striking all black jurors —that they were teachers—appears to be pretext. Anthony needs a new lawyer on appeal and in a new trial. His trial lawyer allowed in opinion evidence that should have been struck. He also seemed unable to appreciate and counter the impact of racial overtones in that case. Those overtones are clear even on Twitter commentary as folks seek to paint Metcalf as having no culpability in what happened and Karmelo as a complete monster. The facts on how the matter escalated are more complicated than that. He and they had no such authority. They are also apparent in the statements that seek to deputize Metcalf and other kids with authority to remove Anthony. They had none and initiated the conflict. That does not mean they should have been killed but it means they have explaining to do. The lawyer for Anthony apparently did not require that explaining. It is fair to ask how the Anthony’s ended up selecting that lawyer. The trial judge must be disqualified in any new trial if he actually gave an interview about the case before the appeal was considered. He has negatively affected the appeal rights of the defendant. He should know better. He should also be disqualified if he has any relationship with the Metcalf side. In a criminal trial, the prosecution has the burden of proof beyond a reasonable doubt. The defendant does not have to prove he is not guilty. Those rules apply to everyone. They apply to Anthony.

@_panycirco @poperespecter1 I'm looking for something true in this. I'm not seeing anything, son.

"All of us are migrants," he proclaims. Everything he says about illegal immigration is from a Leftist framing, using Leftist rhetoric. Never once does he talk about or promote the rule of law, justice, borders/boundaries/nations as established by God. Never once does he demand these people stay in their homeland to correct the problems they contributed to. Never once does he speak out on the ills of coveting what other people built or condemn their ingratitude. Perhaps he could be more respected if he didn't regurgitate gay race communist talking points at every opportunity. But of course, that won't help fill the coffers in Rome, will it?

Pope Leo's views on immigration should be completely non-controversial. He says he is against open borders. Countries have a right to decide who enters. Mass immigration is a problem to be solved. People should stay in their own countries. But that if people do come, they should be treated like human beings with dignity. He also says if they come, they should learn the language and respect the laws. But because people's brains are broken by American politics they cannot understand this nuance.

@KerriSandberg @lyndseyfifield She may have been. Does that justify false claims about Kavanaugh?

@lyndseyfifield Genuinely curious how, as a domestic abuse survivor, you could've been so callous towards Christine Blasey Ford? Whether she was right about Kavanaugh or not, she was obviously suffering from a past trauma.

This week I've heard from dozens of women who have been victims of domestic violence. Many have remarked not just how much they relate to my story overall but how they, too, once qualified their abuse in the same way I did in my interview with the Times: Clarifying that Graham didn't break my arm, didn't ever punch or slap me. I didn't realize that was what I was doing—I just didn't want to exaggerate. If anything I wanted to downplay his violence and the deep, lasting impact it has had on my life. I also have felt I need to be clear that I was never, ever antagonistic, never picked a fight, and took great pains to try to keep him from becoming enraged. My friends have pointed out that that's not normal. I shouldn't feel the need to insist to the public that I didn't do anything to deserve or provoke physical intimidation, control, or abuse. No one does. I forgave Graham years ago and was glad to see that he had gotten sober and seemingly had gotten help for his mental health issues—I sincerely wished him well but when I realized I was not the only woman he had done this to, that he has a lifelong pattern of deep contempt for women, I realized he had suckered me once again. And instead of support for coming forward, Jenny and I have been met with horrific smears, told it was “karma,” or that it wasn’t “that bad.” So... yeah, that is actually pretty classic.

@SerawitMo @ChefAnthonyDC How does any of this destroy the country, son?

@ChefAnthonyDC He really turned it into a circus. There is no denying it now he's trying to destroy this country.

One day I hope MAGA supporters can ADMIT if Barack Hussien Obama had done anything remotely close to this, we’d still be hearing about it today

@NathanJRobinson @RockChartrand I don't know what Musk does in charity. Neither do you. But he develops new technologies, some of which are directed toward helping the disabled, and others propel us into space. I also know what I do to help others directly. Care to share what you do?

@RockChartrand I agree it's about scale. The more capacity you have to help people the more responsibility you have to do it. It has nothing to do with whether you created value in the process but with the lives you could save but choose not to.

There is no way to morally justify having a trillion dollars

@NathanJRobinson Oh, there is, son. If you make things people want.

@FozonCapital @MarcoFoster_ Apart from your terminal TDS, are you seriously suggesting that Musk has become so fabulously wealthy in the private realm by failing upward? Really?

@MarcoFoster_ That's right. In fact, he tweets almost as much as this orange piece of garbage whose Name Escapes Me Right now.

Hasan Piker: “Elon Musk is a fucking failure and yet in spite of his failures, because he happened to be at the right place at the right time, he has failed upwards with his endless wealth. He’s a horrible person, an unbelievably insecure person, and yet he’s the richest person on the planet. We know he doesn’t fucking work hard because he Tweets all the goddamn time”

@Larue82300 @krassenstein "Pedo protectors." My eyes are rolling so hard they hurt, son.

@krassenstein Wow, the pedo protectors are out and about today. Here's to believing most of them are bots or paid to support the destruction of our country. The WH is officially the 🗑 house.

People can’t afford health insurance, inflation is through the roof, gas prices are soaring and immigrant children are locked in prison camps, but sure let’s do motorcycle flips on the lawn of the WH to celebrate an egotistical president‘s birthday.

@krassenstein Child, inflation is down since Biden, my gas prices are going down, and children are with their families. And the show is cool. Now go away, okay?

@SeniorChief79 @krassenstein You mean the Biden who was president when inflation peaked and the borders opened? That Biden?

@krassenstein Meanwhile as always, dumbass MAGA: “Buh, buh, buh, but Biden”

@Dowellenough @rigor_mortis42 @Brick_Cop @ZackPolanski How many people in Germany died because of the Holocaust, child?

@rigor_mortis42 @Brick_Cop @ZackPolanski *Elbit Systems UK, a subsidiary of Elbit Systems, says it's the "backbone" of the Israeli army's drone fleet, which has been used heavily during its now 22-month war on the Gaza Strip, which has killed over 64,368 Palestinians* *risk assessment* 🤔 newarab.com/news/elbit-sys…

Gut wrenching to see four young people jailed for direct action against an arms supplier to Israel. Years in prison for protesting to save lives in Gaza, with 'terrorism' used despite no jury convicting them of it. A truly dangerous attack on the right to protest.

@Dowellenough @rigor_mortis42 @Brick_Cop @ZackPolanski "War crimes" In other words, Jews fighting back.

@rigor_mortis42 @Brick_Cop @ZackPolanski Perhaps not letting a weapons factory supplying drones to a nation actively engaged in war crimes to operate on British soil would have spared that poor officer’s injury… & 100’s perhaps 1000’s of children in Palestine’s from maiming/death. Do you have any sense of perspective?

@Dowellenough @rigor_mortis42 @Brick_Cop @ZackPolanski Child, where is the greater crime? I mean apart from 10/7.

@rigor_mortis42 @Brick_Cop @ZackPolanski … all of which can be justified in the event that a jury finds these crimes were committed to prevent a greater crime. You seem determined to pretend that there is never any legitimate defence to a crime… that is either ignorance or an act of deliberate cruelty - you pick 🤷🤫
