If this arrest doesn’t happen, democracy is one step closer to the grave.
A lot of shit has happened to destroy democracy so far (has anyone been keeping a list?), but if billionaires see that they can now buy votes, nothing will stop them from doing it over and over again. We will be Russia.
and its becoming blatant and bold
Muskrat isn’t doing this for any other reason other than to test and expand the boundaries. It’s challenging the American people … if he can go this far and allowed to get away with it, then it will become the norm. The fault won’t be that he is doing it … the fault will be the American people who put up with this crap.
I’ve given up on trying to understand dumb American politicians … I’m completely disillusioned and lost hope in the American people.
It’s not a small group of billionaires that will destroy democracy in America … it will be an entire nation of people who just stand aside and watch everything burn without saying or doing a thing about it.
I’ve given up on trying to understand dumb American politicians
It’s easy. They are cowards, and they are for sale. If money doesn’t make them snap to attention, threats will. I also think a healthy percentage of them have been to Russia, and those are being blackmailed.
At this point democracy is so far underground that only a Level 17 necronancer can resurrect it
Even then the DM is gonna hit us with a bullshit counterspell
Silvery Barbs (shoved up his ass) is our only hope.
I’ll probably get called a commie but at it’s core, is this version of democracy working well? I’m all for equal rights but if the majority of people are incapable of understanding what it takes to run a nation, how do we trust them to vote someone in who will be a good leader?
If it wasn’t evident enough during his first campaign that he has no interest in enriching the lives of the average american, his first 4 years in office should have proven he is not trying to help out the blue collar class, if Jan 6 wasn’t enough to show he is not a level headed leader then what will? If his second term starting off with trying to start trade wars wasn’t enough, then at what point are we going to realize an overwhelming amount of people are always going to vote for terrible candidates?
I’m having trouble reasoning to myself that the current system is capable of bringing progress. It’s just constant flipping between a couple parties undoing what the previous administration did, how is this a good thing?
That’s like homebrew lvl 25 shit!
If this arrest doesn’t happen, democracy is one step closer to the grave.
Worry not, most Americans are bravely waiting until they have no options left and literally living in squalor before considering any action
In the last 8+ years I have seen the goal post for action moved so many times, I have lost all hope Americans will actually do something for themselves
I guess you won’t make fun of French people anymore
I have seen the goal post for action moved so many times
Yes. I have too. I honestly think I’ve moved my own goal posts for action, as well. I think most of the people like me feel truly lost about what to do. We need a Martin Luther King, Jr figure to unite and direct.
A lot of people strongly believe that God will protect them from whatever terrible Biblical punishments are going to befall the Liberals, Minorities, and Gays. They seem to forget that the Divine Retribution they are praying for so hard always carries enormous collateral damage. SEE: Ark, Noah’s, also Sodom/Gommorah, also Plagues, Egyptian, etc.
Also, the people who think like this, are actually being evil, so their belief brings their own doom. TLDR: If you’re a cunt who sits back and revels in the suffering of those you don’t like, you aint going to heaven…

It’s stupid now but it was already stupid when they did it before, so I don’t why that would change
Your ten thousand foot view is very limited.
I’m at the point where I know he won’t face consequences because he’s rich. But an arrest and trial would at least be sanity.
But an arrest and trial would
be an absolute pony show ending with no conviction.
We only have a criminal justice system for the poors. If you want justice for people like Musk, vigilante is the only option.
Unless…hear me out…he fucks up the comfort zone of the other rich bastards.
He’s richer.
Heck, he’s richer than a lot of them combined.
Caesar was more powerful than the whole Senate
Ken McElroy could beat up, rape, threaten and rob anyone in town until he couldn’t anymore.
Not for long
Why don’t the poor people just pull themselves up by their bootstraps? Then they too would be rich /s
Trump already announced he plans to prosecute anyone trying to enforce the Hatch Act.
The Hatch Act is what makes this illegal.
Prosecute for what, exactly?
“Whoops, the judge ordered us to release them because we did not actually charge them, but they’re already in an El Salvador prison 🤷♀️”
You’re asking that like a dictator needs a legal byline for his actions.
It isn’t gonna happen. Nothing happened to Trump, nothing will happen to Musk. Too rich, too powerful. Justice is only for the pariahs.
Brian Thompson was rich and powerful too, before he got Luigi’d.
That was a case of civilian, extrajudicial sentencing. Nothing to do with the justice system.
Good point.
I have over 100 tabs open on my phone waiting to go into a document
Brilliant! I’d love to see the finished list when it’s done.
I mean, I’d love for it not to have to exist, but here we are.
Democracy is not a step closer to the grave, it’s already dead, just not buried and so now it’s lying on the street , smelling funny and a tad off-colour.
Arrest Of Elon Musk For Felony Vote Buying
YES! FINALLY!
Demanded In Wisconsin
Dude, don’t tease me like that
State law. Rrump can’t pardon it away.
Let me know when he’s actually arrested and charged.
Won’t happen. While I think all this institutional resistance is good. All of the lawsuits and judge rulings should only be seen as a way meant to delay. Fascism is here. You don’t unravel it using the existing institutions and systems.
Delay and prepare. Learn who all your neighbors are. Make sure you can contact all of them quickly and that they can contact you. Your neighbors and your coworkers are who you should be organizing with. Talk to them. Find out who might be a target by ICE. Find out which one of them you can’t trust. And of course. Arm yourself.
Elons not getting arrested but we don’t have to let them arrest us either. If there is no justice for Elon we can’t allow anymore injustice to us.
He’s actively this second openly buying a Supreme Court seat in Wisconsin. I mean obviously nows the time to do it or never do it.
Nows the time to throw all the knives in the air.
Absolutely. And it has my full support. But he won’t ever see any consequences. The system made to empower oligarchs isn’t going to somehow tear down Oligarchs. But they are still absolutely worth doing as a form of resistance. I just don’t yhink people should be naive to think that that is the only part of resistance. It’s simply a method of delay to give us more time to organize.
There is only one thing throughout history that has brought people in Elon’s class position to justice.
He can always use his money and connections to run away, and leave America, and never return. I strongly encourage him to do that.
Then we can turn on Big Ballz and the Boys and take care of them next.
They gotta eat. Persona non grata.
My neighbors literally called my landlord because I let my homeless cousin who lives in his van stay at my house because he had a stroke and they thought he was getting high in his van when he was just smoking cigarettes and sleeping.
I’m unemployed.
Yeah I’ll Believe it when I see it
Very true.
That’s the best part of it.
How ya like them states rights
Ugh I had the same rollercoaster read
drumpf can’t pardon state felonies, and wisconsin can have musk extradited from any other state….
this has teeth, but of course, he’ll just bribe and blackmail the right people and the prosecutors will decide although a law was broken, it’s best not to prosecute because musk is too cute or some bullshit….
at any rate, it’s pretty good….Same lol. Doesn’t help there’s a line break right at that point (for me on Voyager at least).
Right??? I had to start over after the first couple words, look at the thumbnail, then start reading again. Fucking hell.
This
but please not that… and oh god, and definitely not that:
Apparently, it’s not just his heart that’s cold
Fuck you for making me notice Skums nipple-shadows.
Fucking do it already. His approval ratings are pretty low right now (billionaire approval ratings, fucking gross), so I feel like MAGA might not come to his defense this time.
I feel like MAGA might not come to his defense this time.
Hope this isn’t wishful thinking. Trump thinks his son is a l33t hacker for being able to turn a laptop on. Musk on the other hand owns a major social media platform and has access to skilled technicians and programmers, as well as huge server farms which he doubtless uses to analyse voter behaviour and find the weak points where efforts should be focused in order to have most impact on electoral choices.
Trump certainly understands how essential to the disinfo effort Musk is, even though it’s way beyond the grasp of your average MAGA. IMO Trump is not going to abandon Musk in a hurry.
Maybe. But on the other hand, throwing anyone and everyone under the bus to save his own ass has been Trump’s MO for decades…
Fucking do it already
Laws are for little people. Nobody in Wisconsin is going to green light this, because nobody has the chutzpah to inconvenience a billionaire.
I feel like MAGA might not come to his defense this time
MAGA isn’t the problem. Corporate media and the Trump AG are the problem.
“chutzpah”
Alright learnt a new word here. Rougly “cojones” it seems but I’m liking it!I often felt from context it was closer to “hubris”, as “cajones” might just mean brave.
Hubris means ‘overvalued confidence’ I believe. Whereas cajones etc is just stubborn confidence. Similar, but importantly different.
Hubris has a different meaning from any of these.
Would you mind explaining how chutzpah and hubris differ please? I’m not sure I get it.
Hubris is a kind of boastful pride–like a sense of invulnerability. It also implies a kind of dramatic irony, that this sense of invulnerability will eventually prove false. (The term comes from ancient Greek theater, where it’s often the Heroic Flaw that will eventually be the undoing of the tragic hero.)
Chutzpah is more…audacity, nerve, gall. A person with chutzpah doesn’t believe they can’t be harmed; they’re just willing to bald-face it out in the hopes you won’t actually call them on it. In English it can have a positive connotation, the way “cojones” tends to, but it can also have a negative connotation, like “cheek” or “gall.” It comes from Yiddish, where apparently it’s more uniformly negative. (Leave it to us Americans to interpret a condemnation of shameless effrontery as somehow laudatory.)
I guess I would say the key difference is that someone with hubris thinks they are invulnerable, whereas a person with chutzpah is aware they are vulnerable and absolutely refusing to act like it.
They’re definitely kind of related, but they just have really different feels to them
Thank you that’s good to know. I wasn’t aware of any positive affiliation with it. I’ll bear it in mind moving forward :)
Put simply: Chutzpah has more of a positive connotation, while hubris is almost always negative.
Ah that’s interesting, I had thought of it more negatively. It’s not a common word where I am, so my knowledge has been gleaned from American media, mostly.
Wait wait “cOjones” is not the same as “cAjones” that means drawer
They’ll defend him because if he goes to prison that is now a can of worms they cannot close, the slippery slope they fear the most is society actually putting these people in prison
He shouldn’t have approval ratings.
Seriously, who would arrest a billionaire? It seems like he has a suit of armor made of money that everyone won’t touch. If anyone else walked into the federal agencies and did what he did, they would have been arrested.
Aside from his money, he is also politically important now. I think that protects him more than anything else now. But he bought political importance with his money, so it’s related.
Next to the president, he literally may be the most untouchable person in the country and is very very high on that same list globally. Even if he somehow does get in trouble for literally anything, he would be pardoned faster than you can say covfefe
Someone who cares about the laws… Fuck this bullshit… Fuck the guy… Fuck the taxes on the normal people being a minor inconvenience for the rich… Equal fucking rights… The only outlet people have for their anger is to protest a company hes the face of… And they are trying to make that into a crime…
It’s been 3 months and this is how far we have fallen…
This country has a lot of issues and it’s… Not just the deep seeded racism or sexist roots
He has a suit of armor, but it’s not made of money.
The armor of baphomet.

The 53-year-old Tesla and SpaceX CEO told Canadian psychologist Jordan Peterson in an interview last July that the decision to build a supercomputer in Memphis evoked references, at least in part, to the Memphis of ancient Egypt and its pantheon of gods.
“Perhaps that’s where our new god will come from,” Musk said.
Ohhh gonna save these links for my Christian MAGA parents. Wrinkle their smooth brains a bit.
“I have the money to have you killed by somebody who has nothing” - solid body armor
Good point, but it goes from attempted arrest to attempt on his life real quick, instead. And he knows it.
Youd need top down from gocernment officials… oh wait theyre all ball garglers

Feel like this title should’ve been Wisconsin Demands Arrest of… Because holy shit my heart skipped a beat to think something might change :(
Donald Trump, age 76 years, son of Fred and Wilma, said something stupid today.
You actually got me there, I had to google his mother’s name thinking this is the worst prank from the universe ever.
This is not an arrest warrant or anything. It’s a Democrat politician saying he should be arrested
I hate “news” like this… It’s a waste of time.
One person on Twitter saying something turns into “Twitter says…”
Politician say x in normal pointless conversation and it turns into “democrats/politicians say…”
And people feverishly eat it up.
Our society is fucked.
I think the people should boycott all headlines with slams in the title. Unless it’s about professional wrestling.
are you suggesting we boycott my boss, Rog, king of the slams?
Also blasts, blisters, bombshell, claps back, epic self-own, goes viral, melts down, mind-blowing, mocks, rages, rips, scoop, shocking, skewers, slams, staggering, stuns, and trolls.
He was totally slammed, like the headline said.
Seriously though. Weasel words. If journalists adopted even 20% of Wikipedia’s manual of style, news would improve by orders of magnitude.
This!
Then aggressively review his widely known to be fraudulently obtained American citizenship, seize his American assets including his companies, and send him back to South Africa.
send him back to South Africa
Venezuela might also be nice at this time of year.
El Salvador is trending now
What about that El Salvador prison Trump was so proud of?
I want this as well, but it will never happen.
No. Life in prison in Florence ADmax.
Give him a bunch of tattoos and send him to CECOT.
A billionaire is never going to suffer a real consequence in America. That’s why we’re so screwed in the first place
Luigi will always be in our hearts.
Not until you, the people, make it happen
It only takes a handful of people to change that
Oh? Demanded? Then what is the point.
Wake me up if he is at least arrested.
Every day I wake up praying to read the news that someone did the funniest thing to this nazi fuck. I’ll settle for an arrest though.
It’s a me!
Throw the dirty immigrant deep in an El Salvadoran prison. Fucking dirtbag. Give him a taste of his own medicine.
It’s imperative they perp walk him through the street in chains with 20 armed police officers first. Maybe the mayor can come out for the photo op
Put out an arrest on Peter Thiel too, since he is the real puppet master of all this bs.
Apparently this is the new trend among Sociopathic Oligarchs - having their own pet politician. Its exactly the kind of rich guybtrend they would jump on. Then they can compare their collection of politicians like kids comparing baseball or Pokemon cards.
The goal is to be the guy who has a really high level politician on a leash. The MuskRat is clearly thebwinner here, since he owns HitlerPig, but Theil is doing pretty well by owning Vamce. Then there’s the guy who owns Clarence Thomas.
I’ll bet Sociopathic Oligarchs all over the world are scrambling to lock up control of one politician or another.
This is why we shouldnt allow 1) Billionaires to exist, and 2) money into politics.
Honestly, and I may be wrong, I think Thiel is the one who owns everybody. Musk is nothing more than the court jester and he is too narcissistic and stupid to realize how he’s as much of a puppet as trump is. Maybe even more so. Thiel is really scary because he’s actually smart enough to know how to play the game and keep a semi low profile. I think he’s happy Musk steals the show.
It may be a conspiracy and I want to wait and see before I commit to it, but there has been some talk about how Thiel’s end goal is to destroy old civilization and create techno states where people like him are the overlords who have complete control and freedom to do as they please without any legislations and restrictions getting in their way. He has been talking about this since 2009, maybe even further back, of how he wants his own techno state that is separate from the laws of the rest of the world.
It sounds so fucking insane to me that I haven’t really talked to anyone about it in case I’m just falling for some crazy conspiracy shit, but looking at what they have been doing since trump got into office, it certainly looks like they are in the process of actively and knowingly dismantling and destroying America. Musk said as much: that they were going to tear down and rebuild the nation. But fuck it if I know what the true end goal is. It might as well be a bunch of rich boys who have collectively lost their minds and think they are living in a cool action movie and are too stupid to understand what they are doing.
You are on the right track, but it isn’t Theil driving it all. Putin is the real leader, using The MuskRat and HitlerPig as his muscle, and the Sociopathic Oligarchs of the world are all following his lead. The writings of Curtis Yarvin is their Bible, who believes Democracy is a failed system, and the planet should be controlled by those with the money. Obviously, that resonates strongly with the Sociopathic Oligarchs of the world.
But you are correct that the ultimate objective is a New World Order in which the Sociopathic Oligarchs are in complete control, not countries, and the national leaders will be on leashes held by the Sociopathic Oligarchs.
None of this is “conspiracy theory,” they all talk about it openly. Vance, for one, quotes Yarvin often.
The guy who owns Thomas
Harlan Crow
Thanks, I was too lazy to Google it.
See you next time, space cowboy
Pls do, but we don’t take that shit stain back
Billionaires found a cheat code with stochastic terror. Super effective and seems impossible to legislate around.
Liquidate Musk
Preferably in a vat of acid
WHAT DID YOU SAY???
LUIGIDATE MUSK??
The joke:
The joke is that I’m pretending to be a deaf old grandpa
state charges too, Trump cant pardon those. Maybe thats the answer for republican law breakers, move all the federal laws to the state books. (Or maybe thats a bad idea, I’m not a lawyer)
This is a great idea. Moving everything from the Feds to the states is a core conservative value, so they should welcome this.
Lol nah. Their only core value is hypocrisy, so they absolutely would not welcome it.
Valid.
It’s a shame, too. If “states rights” ended up being the fatal flaw in a neo-Confederate coup attempt, that would be just desserts.
They care about this as much as they care about proper handling of classified information
They’ll care plenty when their representatives start getting tossed in state penitentiaries, where they can’t be pardoned.
Lol yeah, right
Rule of law for fascists does not apply in fascism buddy
You literally have a convicted felon as president
States are different from Federal. If a blue state incarcerates a MAGA leader, there’s nothing HitlerPig can do to get them loose, short of military force.
It would be fun to snatch up Jr on a cocaine charge.
Oh yeah? How is that Georgia election racketeering going for Trump now?
A state will never get HitlerPig, he’s got SCOTUS immunity superpowers, but that immunity doesn’t extend to anyone else. If one of his henchmen has broken state laws, throw the state book at them.
We need exercise our second amendment and the citizens need to arrest
Elon Musk, Donald Trump, JD Vance, Pete Hegseth, Clarence Thomas, Big Balls and associated hacker coup, Peter Theil, Tulsi Gabbard, John Roberts, Jared Kushner, Steve Miller, Brett Kavanaugh and all January 6th rioters
I think that would be a good start
Let me just hold my breath real quick
