Musk is conservatives latest man crush .. because they think lies , harassment is speech worth protecting . Because it’s the only speech Republicans use with regularity . So much for Truth social. Took peoples money claiming the same thing how did that work out?

what could go wrong with a single owner pulling all the strings at twitter.. keep chasing you false idols

You’re good with hidden means. Care to tell us how

Elon Musk wants to 'authenticate all real humans' on Twitter.

Here are some of your hero’s free speech examples


Musk personally cancelled a client’s Tesla order after complaining that the man had been “super-rude” in a blog post, and fired an Autopilot employee who posted mostly positive reviews on his private YouTube channel but showed the Tesla occasionally malfunctioning.

Or He also sent a threatening letter to The New York Times objecting to unfavorable coverage, writing, “If anything like this happens again, please consider [your] relationship with Tesla to end immediately upon publication of such a piece.” It’s a curious kind of “free speech absolutist” that defends carrying Russian propaganda but tries to silence American newspapers.


Why is the new GOP drawn to

wdmso, the hunter biden laptop story wasn’t lies or intimidation, nor is suggesting covid came from wuhan.

if joe biden can say republicans want to put blacks in chains, if everyone on the left can say i hate blacks and women, why can’t i say that hunters income seems fishy or that we should see if covid originated in the wuhan lab?

musk isn’t conservative, he loved obama. But he’s getting the left to show their hysterical, marxist, censorship colors.

he just looks conservative, compared to where the democrats are right now. why they chose to race to the fringe left is beyond me, but they’re about to find out how stupid of a strategy that is.

It’s hilarious.

Seeing what the markets did this month? One thing biden had going for him was the stock
market, and it’s looking very very sick at the moment.

just in time for the midterms!!

oh, and gdp shrunk in the first quarter, and that’s before the Fed is getting aggressive with rate hikes.

Not looking good at all. Recession coming just in time for the midterms.

The gop is set to roll in November.

Jim’s version of a white, Christian America that idealizes capitalists (for example, him) has lost favor in the cultural marketplace, and people who espouse racist, misogynistic or bigoted views now face consequences they didn’t before (which they call censorship). A multicultural society forces their children to learn more than the historical myths on which their purported superiority was constructed (which they call indoctrination).

They are victims, forever and always. Jim is promising to avenge his victimhood by imposing his cultural norms on everyone else — in the name of freedom — and maintaining the socioeconomic caste system that has fostered the greatest level of inequality in a century.

That is the Republican Party’s 2022 platform. It’s also a gift to Democrats — if they can figure out how to use it.

my advice is not misinterpret Asperger's for malice.

Jim are you Ok? are you being bullied do you need a safe space from criticism ... seems others here think that's the case :huh:

i was asking TDF which if you two lunatics was chester and which was spike

you’re not criticizing me. you’re howling at the moon and embarrassing yourself.

TDF is the most measured, middle of the road guy here. he’s criticized me before, and i deserved it when he did. ask yourself what it means that he’s poking fun of you here.

the S&P500 had the worst 4 months to start a year, since 1939.

worst start in 83 years. 83 years. And that’s all BEFORE the fed starts hiking rates like crazy.

Biden is making Jimmy Carter look like Dwight Eisenhower.

Don’t let the Trump toadies, Tucker suckers & Musk morons get you down. We live in a era of mediocre men pledging their fealty to conmen, crooks and straight-up kooks.

And according to NPR (NPR!!), a small majority of latinos plan to vote republican in the midterms.

i’m not sure i believe that, but even if it’s off by a quarter, that’s a rout for the gop.

who is advising this party, that a majority of americans will vote for radical woke progressivism? how can anyone have so little accurate awareness of what america is, and what america isnt ?

the democrats have schools, the media, hollywood. if they ran a Bill Clinton moderate democrat, they’d win 40 states.

Is that a yes or a no

And of course you think a world economic correction is Biden’s fault

Yet you have or your GOP pals have offered not a single idea or policy to suggest how they would correct it! Not one!
GOP sees Americans anger at inflation as a vote getter not a concern the wish to fix.. odd how that works.
And the American voter is stupid enough to think they want to address the issue
Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device

a yes or no to what?

covid was also a worldwide event. are you going to say you never bashed trump or desantis for covid?

so how come it’s ok for you to blame a republican president for an event that’s not limited to the US? but wrong if i do it?

the gop has many ideas to get the economy back on track. tighter monetary policy to help fight inflation, trade deals and regulations that make it easier, not harder, for us companies to thrive.

when trump was president and the gop controlled congress, are you going to say they did nothing to help stimulate the economy? Cutting personal income taxes, cutting corporate taxes, cutting regulations, incentivizing businesses to bring offshore cash back here….none of that had any real effect?

I’m not saying a gop congress would do these things to help, because they’re as stupid and lazy and corrupt as anyone else. They talk about cutting spending but then get in power and spend like lunatics.

But their ideas, we’re shown a few years ago, to be helpful.

I’ve been saying for years we were overdue for a recession. it’s not all Bidens fault. But just like the subprime mortgage crisis wasn’t all bush’s fault ( but it killed him), and just like covid wasn’t all trumps
fault ( yet the left blamed him), Biden will own this. It’s his.

and it’s going to be worse in the fall when interest rates are a few points higher.

What’s good for the goose…

The real effects of TFG are occurring now.
Just like in Texas

Texas is now losing out on a rail line from Mexico because of Greg Abbott’s border stunt— Mexico’s Economy Minister said, “We’re now not going to use Texas. We can’t leave all the eggs in one basket and be hostages to someone who wants to use trade as a political tool.”

like I've said the American voter is stupid. they spend effort removing the last Party in office only to vote them back in 2 years later because they expect instant result .. and fail to see the rich took their profits and low interest advantage sell off , willing to tank the market and the economy.. to swoop in and buy up whats left in the fire sale to come

"do you need a safe space .."

No. What could I have possibly said, that would make you ask that? I'm literally holding all the cards at the moment. That could well change today if the idiot republicans blow it. But all my side needs to do, is watch you side march further to the left, further away from where Americans are (we're a centrist country, not a progressive country), and watch the economy sink a bit more between now and November, watch the economy slow as the Fed gets aggressive with rate hikes.

"he dismissed the pandemic .. or were asleep for that part"

Yet the left said his travel restrictions were a hysterical overreaction, or were you asleep for that part? In other words, the left criticized him for both over-reacting, and for downplaying it. That's called "wanting to have it both ways". He got hospital ships to NY, oversaw the creation of infastructures for testing and vaccines, sent everyone big fat relief checks, created makeshift hospitals in NY...That's "dismissing" the virus? All that is "dismissing" it? Really? I don't think so.

"you are just a parrot repeating the same old GOP mantra"

Nope. I'm reacting to what actually happened to the US economy during Trumps term, before we #^&#^&#^&#^& the economy down. You obviously don't remember, but the economy was absolutely roaring. If Trump got re elected, maybe we'd still be facing horrible inflation and shrinking GDP and a sinking stock market. Or maybe not. We can't know. What we do know, is that those things didn't exist under Trump, and they all exist under Biden.

Make. That. Wrong.

As for calling me a parrot, I also said many Republicans say one thing and do the opposite when in power. How is that a GOP talking point.

I'm bashing the GOP, and somehow you can't see it, even though it's right in front of your face.

Whatever the faults of the GOP are (and they are many), they are poised to steamroll the democrats in a few months, unless things change, as they could. The democrats won the executive and legislative branches in 2020, they therefore run the whole show, and everything is much worse than it was. Not all of that is their fault, but some of it sure is. And in any event, the party in power gets blamed for what happened on their watch, that's just the way it is.


"Jim you gullible to think anything you mentioned immediately impacts the economy"

I keep forgetting what an world-renowned expert you are on macroeconomics. It's just a coincidence that the stock market soared and unemployment shrank, when Trump was given the keys.

Infastructure takes a while to help. Tax cuts obviously don't take decades to have an impact.

"the benefit didn't last long"

It lasted until we shut down the economy for covid.

"willing to tank the market and the economy"

The GOP didn't do that, well they contributed to it by spending like crazy when they had congress.

Biden is proposing massive spending and tax hikes in his next budget. We'll soon see what America thinks of that brilliant plan.

Wayne, do you feel obligated to help pay off student loans for short-sighted and ill-informed teenagers who borrowed $250,000 to get degrees in pottery from Cornell?

That will make the cause of the problem (college cost) worse. That's the liberal way, instead of addressing the actual cause of the problem, they throw money at the symptom of the problem.

What incentive does any college have to cut costs, if the feds will pick up the tab?

"swoop in and buy up whats left in the fire sale to come"

That's exactly what I'm planning to do, and what I sincerely hope you do. No one knows when the bottom will be, but there will be bargains out there, like JP Morgan, maybe Apple and Amazon and for sure companies that make processors/chips like AMAT. You can't stop the correction that's just starting now, but you can position yourself to benefit from it. Hoard cash now, and buy at the fire sale which is likely coming (not definitely).

It would explain a lot
