Is this not grapefruit / raisins comparison?   I feel like your toying with this issue…your better than that bro! Come-on!

Soros, who personally donated $170 million during the 2022 midterms to Democratic candidates and campaigns

Musk nearly doubled that and he plans on taking a position of his choice in the administration ? ….Sounds like he bought that job to me ? Elon Musk isn’t just a wealthy person he is the most wealthy by a wide margin and he has gone well past just promoting ideas or trying to persuade the public of his personal views; he is literally bypassing democratic processes to directly bully legislators, He holds the power that no collection of individual citizens could ever exercise over sitting legislatures, and he is doing it to enact ‘policies’ and disrupt governance even before his political benefactor has any actual control but thankfully they will have to raise there own debt limit.
What is happening is unprecedented in this country’s history and how it evolves over next 2 years one can only watch and wonder how anyone would think 49.9 % is a mandate to reinvent the wheel that Musk & Trump have espoused …This should be interesting ?? to say the least!

Dallas will be on him like flies on stink! He will be nullified! I believe it’s personal 

You think Dallas sits on there ass?….It possibly but healthy Dallas is hand down the better team….marginally better!

Shit happens ! It’s part of life ….You go with your instincts! No more!

To me this is the point I think it’s safe to say that for the current crop of Republicans/MAGA in power, they’re entirely in it for money and/or power. And let’s say Russia is happy to help them secure both (for favors, but more likely to just sow chaos), but certainly isn’t the only one…..Wouldn’t you love to know who has the lion share 6 billion of investment in DJT stock that he just pulled 4 billion out to put in trust with Junior in charge of it?….DJT as has never been profitable ? Why don’t the GOP investigate that? Let’s talk about Dark Money! 

It’s just that the same current crop (of course including Judge Thomas) have been increasingly uncaring of any effort to keep up appearances, especially when their own do not hold them accountable in ANY way.

Soros is small potato’s ! He nothing but the GOP poster boy for every lost district election, Just like Hunter is the Yang for every republican Ying! JMHO  

I think I said this before, but, If George Soros bought a pair of old bowling shoes at Sonia Sotomayor’s garage sale, the right would be losing their collective mind. 

If successful it would not have been profitable for the oil industry! We can’t support the power now for electric vehicles sure as hell couldn’t support it then

Jets don’t want this

1) The Democrats don’t have there 260 million dollar benefactor sitting in there President sky box or openly telling the elected officials they will be primary elimination if they don’t sit down shut up and vote for what he a private citizen wants!….And why ? Because his kind of money can ruin there career and Trumps pigeons will pull the trigger! You comparison of Soros & Musks muscle in politics doesn’t flush ! George is not in Musks league, Musk is in his own universe regarding wealth that was created in some degree by government subsidies and seems to have forgotten that! ….The robber barons have returned on steroids Raider 22 and you know it ! Hopefully so will Unions !

General Motors had an electric car EV1 that was loved by everyone who tested it! Then took everyone of then back ? I’ll leave that to right wing conspirators here!

When was the last time one person spent 250 million dollars on a Presidential election and then openly supervised his “ owned “ pigeons in the congress and senate on a spending bill? 

Musk gave million's to Trump’s campaign (no doubt in exchange for for tax cuts for billionaires) and has threatened elected Republicans.
In case you haven’t noticed, Republicans who disagree with Trump find a MAGA candidate running against them in the next Primary!

Musk can afford to be so brazen because no Republican political figure is going to speak against him, and even if he were violating FEC regulations Musk regularly thumbs his nose at regulatory agencies (even going so far as to engage in a campaign of vengeful persecution against individual lawyers even after they have left federal service) and gets his way, at most paying a comparatively tiny fine to get away with rule breaking.

This is, of course, the way that autocrats and their boosters subvert democratic societies in a perfectly ‘legitimate’ way to take over absolute political control. That an odious, deceitful, petty, mercurial, thin-skinned, shithead person like Elon Musk can engage in this and not only get away with it but still be fêted by his legions of fawning voteries absolutely convinced of his self-professed genius (he is not) and boosted by the President-Elect as his “Best Buddy” and given control over an as-yet non-existent executive agency for which he has already been formulating nonsensical and ill-informed policy, and very few people in the media are either willing or sufficiently uneducated to object that this is exactly the way fascist regimes take power is as alarming as anything Trump himself has said or done. This is anti-democratic to the core. But…not illegal, which, in the minds of some people, means that there is nothing to be done about openly hijacking the democratic electoral process by (legal) intimidation and bullying.

Now more then ever a constitutional amendment that limits campaign financing, and addresses other corruption issues, is the only possible solution. But course, such an amendment is virtually impossible in an environment in which Elon is openly buying politicians, and so the very people we’d need to pass this are running scared of him!…….Is that better in explaining my problems with Musk living in Trumps head ?

 If the beard loses in Ohio he will be on a hot seat…But Pressure makes diamonds ! 

There’s a saying that goes, “If you’re going to pee in the pool, at least don’t do it from the diving board”. Rich people have always influenced American politics, some of them to an alarming degree, but they’ve all made at least a nominal effort to be discreet about it. What Musk is doing by letting it all hang out in the open.I am looking at the right-wingers in power right now, and “discreet” is definitely not a word I would use. When do the people realize this may be taking it a step too far.

They may have been a favorite in the contest so Yes they stood a great chance a victory! They have better athletes and a better and larger coaching staff and a better legacy!

He wasn’t humble after 80 Td up 48-11 in the 4th against Pitt! He did everything but slap his on back!

+17 live what could go wrong? Over 42 has a chance!

 That was quick! Take the 13 1/2
