Wait. So the people who were just fine with Sarah Palin putting a literal gun target on the district of Gabby Giffords prior to her tragic shooting are now hurt over a private citizen using the term “86” in seashells?

No, you see, the thing we are NOT going to do here, is we are NOT going to play oppression olympics. Things can suck for me and for you, it's not a fucking race.

🚨UPDATE: Rümeysa Öztürk has now suffered three separate asthma attacks while in DHS custody.
She has not received her required asthma medications—a violation of her fundamental right to medical care.
This is cruelty, it is neglect, and it is a damning moral and legal failure.

Musk is cash-poor, with most of his wealth in stocks and unprofitable businesses. His debtors want real money, not hype. If TSLA drops too much, margin calls hit. The NAZI lost $100B last month—keep this up, and he could lose everything.

Tesla's stock is ridiculously overvalued, and even a modest consumer boycott could tank the company, which accounts for the majority of Elon Musk's wealth.

Correct. It’s really more of a hijacking than a coup.
This is not just a coup and a Constitutional crisis. It is a national security catastrophe for the United States from which there is no assurance we will ever fully recover. Not hyperbole. If foreign enemies had landed troops on our shores it’s unlikely they would’ve done as much damage as fast.
