Just like the Dems have investigated January 6th? I’m sure the consequences will be devastating for him.
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.
There will be enough Republicans in the Senate to block everything.
Well y’know, maybe hang them too.
Why are they so obsessed with investigations but never the other parts of the process, like arrests, bringing charges, trials, and sentencing?
Because it’s all theatre.
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.
Edit: I read this first thing after waking up and skimmed over the double negative. That’s my bad lol. 😅
–
Yeah, since nothing’ll change, let’s just keep everything the same, because this is going just swell.
Not a reason to vote D my fucking ass.
It took me a few reads to click with the double negative too.
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.
One group is actually following due process
Womp womp, that’s the joke.
due process was moving forward until Trump was re-elected
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.
Not a reason to vote D my fucking ass.
I’m sorry for being so double negative
I read this first thing after waking up and skimmed over the double negative. That’s my bad lol. 😅
I should have known better seeing as you’re not from .ml
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.
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.
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)
Because you can’t arrest, charge, and bring to trial people without evidence, which is what the investigation is for.
Sure, they might try but will get ignored like last time and the evidence might vanish, might be some problem so they don’t get power. Either way in two years the propaganda will say that Dems wasted all the time on witch hunts and lawfare and the voters will agree or not show up again and right back to maga. I’d love to be wrong about this, I can handle it lol!
But the contrarian view is that’s all they can do.
Congress has been dysfunctional for decades and the republicans have stood together against any bipartisan work. Even with a majority, there’s not much democrats can pass without a supermajority (or congressional reform).
The huge thing that has been missing has been constitutional checks and balances. I don’t know if they can do that without supermajority but they need to try
Given our dysfunctional Congress and the goal to put the brakes on abuses of power, is there anything they can do?
there’s not much democrats can pass without a supermajority (or congressional reform).
Absurd.
The super majority vote is a parliamentary rule and not law. They can skip the super majority with a simple majority vote (as they can with all parliamentary rules).
They skip it all the time… they bypass the “super majority” with regularity. Over 180x the last time I checked.
They could have passed minimum wage increase with a simple majority. Instead, they tied it to a massive budget package.
They never even tried a standalone bill. They performed the bare minimum because it works, people fall for it. It’s an open secret and a bit of a joke, really.
The Democrats can’t bust the Rs on accepting piles of money and gold Krugerrands, come on now they pulled in a billion dollars to lose. If memory serves, they raised more money than Rs in last election.
The Supreme Court has decided that dollars are free speech (no matter how much) and Space X is people (no matter how stupid that is). This is performative at best in my opinion (just like Ds last ‘attempt’ to raise the minimum wage)
OR, Democrats will actually derail the money train and clean the White House! Ha that was a joke
I feel like at this point, investing corruption is in a race with the heat death of the universe.
Not that is support musk in this, but it’s legal to spend any amount of money you want for an election. What did they think would happen?
Where are the democrats standing for fixing that?
I believe there are a few superpak rules left where it has to be “independent” rather than coordinated with a party or candidate, so I’d buy an investigation into what party or candidate hired him to destroy government services under the claim that we can’t afford it (in addition to the trillions in tax cuts for the wealthy)
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.
Allow me to begin the investigation: if you look really closely, you can see he’s a dick
They should literally be running on this.
We know what immigrants are stealing citizens jobs. Or mooching off the system. It’s him.
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.
And the Epstein case.
They should literally be running on this.
Yes. And not just Musk.
People fucking cheered when Ossoff said it.
I like ossoff. I was happy to vote for him the other day.
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.
Canada doesn’t want him back, maybe you could ask South Africa
Ah hell nah they do not want that Orenia loving Afrikaans shitheel back
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
I believe you are referring to North Sentinel Island.
Yeah, that’s good; send him there.
He would just come back seeking asylum.
He would cry ‘witch hunt’, but at this point who would even back him? The suckers still waiting on their vote-bribes?
Throw his ass in prison for life.
Pretty cruel to throw just his ass in prison.
I’m ok with it as long as it’s chopped off with a rusty spoon.
Agreed.
Agreed. With the picture, I’d suggest both.
It’ll never happen.
Fines at most.
Hey, let us dream, at least.
Hey, man, just saying… If the Musrkat ever faces justice, it won’t come from the US Justice System. It’ll come from one of us.
We’ll get the fuck on it then! You are right, hi is basically untouchable with the current administration, unless someone is really good with a rifle. He’s not stopping at the USA, he’s going to fuck up as many world govs as he can!
hi is basically untouchable with the current administration
And also in pretty much any other administration that could be plausibly imagined.
Ultra-rich fuckers do not go to prison in the US. Never have and probably never will.
Well, someone should get their rifle out and pop his fucking head clean off
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

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
Hey maybe we should expand my Executive Babysitting Committee idea to the whole swath of people that need their evildoing stopped by wasting their time!
Some of those people aren’t used to being sober or awake for 8 hours of questioning and I’d love to watch them crumble
As he should be
Find a billionaire that shouldn’t.
He told Tucker Carlson before the election that he would be fucked and go to prison if trump lost.
Find a billionaire that shouldn’t.
Maybe Taylor Swift? Idk, I’m drawing a blank.
