applegrove's JournalTrump given written questions when Trump was being investigated for Russia.
Why? A combination of the FBI thinking he could not tell the truth and/or he would not remember if he were to testify on the stand. He was President then.
The oligarchs ruined the town square (Twitter) now
watch them ruin childhood. It is how they roll into every arena of good information. It is said that there are explorers who discouver or create and exploiter of that information. Nobody else. Musk is an explorer pretending too be an exploiter. He knows not what he is doing to the US. He should stick to inventing things. He is a useful idiot to the right.
Used to be the neoliberal argument for focusing
on driving up wealth with policies was not just that it would lift all boats but also that our biionaires would be able to match if not beat the rich from Saudi Arabia or Russian oligarchs. That we would be stronger in the world. What happens when lifting all boats is proved wrong and the oligarchs in the US form an alliance and policy slate with autocratic Russia instead of democracy in the US?
His reasons for doing things are corrupt so he thinks Democrats think the same way.
I'm sure Biden's feelings on immigration have to do with helping the country grow without forcing women to give birth to babies they can't or don't want to care for. Cost of housing is based on double income as women are in the workforce for good. And like women from every culture in the world women have 1.7 children once they reach a certain amount of income/education. Does Musk want the US to stop growing like Russia or China? They are pretty ornery about it all and pretty ornery places to live. Oh and Biden is for tougher immigration - see what the Senate is negotiating. So Musk is wrong on all counts.

Psychopaths forced team to gain acceptance. They should not be allowed on any reputable platform.
I'm in Ottawa and a convoy of Trucks is hard to move.
They are doing construction on Parliament Hill, and were the year of the truck convoy in Ottawa, and I thought they should lift one of the trucks using one of the nearby massive cranes, lift it over the Parliament Buildings, and drop it in the Ottawa river. That would have sent the big rigs packing.
Maybe the US can do better than our governments did. Big tow truck companies were scared off from towing the trucks away till the government brought in emergency measures. Not that Abbott will want to stop an anti-immigrant blockcade of the border. But the Feds and California and Arizona may want to.
This is how you know fascism is a deliberate choice of late-stage capitalism. It takes decades of working to undermine
@BlackAzizAnansi This is how you know fascism is a deliberate choice of late-stage capitalism. It takes decades of working to undermine all the public works that government does so much better than any profiteer just to set the stage for a strongman who can point at it all and claim he can fix it, despite the facts. Those facts being his party broke it by starving it of resources and he's never fixed anything, just helped other evil men.

They should call it end-stage capitalism. Denotes cancer because it is one.
They need corruption free, transparent places with
strong dollars to invest their millions and billions in. The West will no longer be available for this if they mimic Russia Russia Marsha and become corrupt and authoritarian.
The revolution has already started and it is workers
following right wing demagogues straight into authoritarianism. Look at Brexit. Look at Trump. That is what happens when you took away good union jobs. People stop thinking of that cabin in the woods to retire to and try and find an authoritarian they can fuse their personality to to get some self esteem back and have vitality return. With self deputizing MAGAs everywhere stalking pregnant women, school board meetings and drag queen story hour they feel they have a vital role and are part of something greater than themselves. The revolution is halfway here. "Democracy is the worst system of government - except for all the others" I think Churchill said. If democracy is not working for the working class or middle class there are not good alternatives. Predators have swept in. It was probably always the plan of libertarians. Nobody expected a Trump. Except for Putin, manafort, Stone et al. Rich people know this all as well as anyone.
All Democrats should run on this:

On the campaign trail, Keen argued that the Legislature has ignored issues like home insurance rates impacting Floridians day-to-day, instead focusing on Gov. Ron DeSantis’ culture wars agenda. He promised to bring real-world issues before the Florida Legislature.
“I fought for our country for 21 years as a Naval Flight Officer,” Keen said during the campaign. “I will fight for my fellow neighbors in District 35 when I get to Tallahassee. I filed to run in this race in May 2023 because the residents of District 35 deserve better representation in Tallahassee.”
