That was enough to reverse a 6% decline in Tesla shares — a sign investors are optimistic that Musk will ditch the cheese-hat shenanigans and focus on his company’s rapidly shrinking market share

Those are some stupid fucking investors. My expectation is that continued public association between Musk and Tesla can only hurt Tesla from here on out. I can’t see the people who have now embraced hatred of Must and his ideals will start buying his cars just because he’s finished hurting the poor, sick, and elderly. Maybe, maybe, if Tesla gets a new CEO the company can rebound. But for me, as long as the money goes into Elon’s pocket, it won’t be a single penny of mine.

Ah, I misunderstood. My apologies.

When did I say anything about America being great or fulfilling the dreams of the founding fathers? I suggested that a democrat blow out could re-make America so that working people could live lives that don’t focus on surviving until their next paycheck and maybe, just maybe, we could take steps to try and limit ourselves to living in a 3C world since the 2C ship has sailed.

And you know those good times that conservatives say they want to go back to? Those times when a blue collar worker could earn enough to buy a house, pay the mortgage, support a stay-at-home-wife and family, and then send those kids to college? That’s the society that those decades of democrat control led to. That’s what another 60 years of democrat dominated congress could lead to again. In fact, a huge blow out election like that may be the only thing that can save, not only this nation, but maybe even the whole world, if it’s not too late already.

Ah, I see your point. Yes, he should have kept the tip when you look at it that way.

No. The system automatically adds an 18% tip. Because of their message, he removed the tip from their CC charge.

Yes. It is a U.S. territory.

Punchline for those who don’t want to read the article: He’s Puerto Rican.

Here’s the archive link for the original WP article on this for anyone who wants to read the full article.

The WI AG went to court to block him from doing the give away and the judge said no. He then appealed that and the appeals court refused to stop it. He then went to the WI Supreme Court who also refused to stop it. Judges have already been ignoring it.

It is unquestionably illegal. For your reference, here are the pertinent Wisconsin Bribery Statutes.

This leaves me to question how much the various judges that allowed this to proceed were payed paid to ignore the laws as written. Assuming it wasn’t just fear of reprisal from MAGA terrorists that kept them from stopping it.

“Sounds better every time I hear it.” - Trump probably

Trump is just signing shit they put in front of him.

I don’t think so. Remember the adage, every accusation is a confession? Now consider his recent accusations that Biden used an auto-pen. Frankly, I don’t think they’re putting anything in front of him to sign anymore except for public events, if any. I think they are using an auto-pen to sing sign executive orders without even telling him about many or even most of them.

As much as I love to hate on billionaires, Pritzker is the exception to the rule. He’s been using his money and influence to help workers and the downtrodden since he became Governor of Illinois.

Obviously he was just there to make sure everyone using the women’s restroom had and honest, God-given pussy.

Trump: “We’re going to charge countries for doing business in our country and taking our jobs, taking our wealth, taking a lot of things that they’ve been taking over the years."

Me: Oh. so you’re going bring an end to tax havens and make business pay the taxes here for the income they earn here?

Trump: No! Not like that! Deport that asshole!

Oh, come now. You probably think evil is stealing money from elderly and children or something like that. How very medieval of you. The modern definition of evil is much more nuanced and allows for the needs of the uber-wealthy to be met without the baggage of having to feel guilty about causing the suffering of the helpless.

Newsom, a Democrat, has attempted a fresh approach to political divisiveness

Seriously? Lurching to the right and courting republican voters is new, is it? Seems to me it’s the same shit democrats have been doing for quite some time. Newsom should just get it over with and change parties.

Wisconsin state bribery statute. I’m not seeing any wiggle room here. Someone should check this judge’s finances.
