Thanks for pointing out the names, too!

Sad times, these

Looks like he noticed a bunch of American companies developed a real taste for boot leather recently.

Not the commenter you replied to, but some "Christians" don't necessarily behave in a Christian-like manner when it comes to things like helping those in need, or treating others the way you would have them treat you.

Well clearly someone's emotions have gotten the best of them. Have fun wallowing in your hypotheticals and lashing out at people meaninglessly. After 8 years of Obama, America was not voting for Obama 2 immediately after. That is a crazy take.

Edit: Obama 2, now more boring and uninspiring!

I was there. Biden was not the solution then.

And the conditions in 2016 were markedly different than they were in 2020, unless you don't believe in the forward progression of time.

In other news, a tautology is a tautology.

From what I gather, this is not unlike his method for taking over other businesses and them claiming them for himself and then aggrandizing himself as the inventor or founder or creator or chief engineer, or I'm sure the list goes on.

He uses his money to buy a spot on the board. If that's not enough, he uses more money to buy the Chairman of the Board seat. And then he dictates to the President/CEO what to do, or uses his power and leverage over them to force them to bend to his will or replaces them with an already-placed yes-man.

The already-placed yes-man is Vance. Vance is there because Peter Thiel paid for him to be there. He did that because Vance likes the Curtis Yarvin plan for a weird techno-fascist future with corporate fiefdoms instead of actual American democracy. Elon and Thiel go way back to Paypal together and have been drinking the Yarvin Koolaid for a while.

He's doing what he did to Paypal and Tesla to the US government and the Republicans are allowing it to happen while the corporate-aligned Democrats say "they can't just do that, there are rules" and "the people of America need to make their voices heard" and only a handful of Progressive voices are even allowed to take up any oxygen and say that we've lost our democracy to oligarchs. And between Twitter, Facebook, TikTok, RedNote, and whatever else, they've got captive audiences to funnel AI-driven and optimized right-wing messaging out constantly while also working ever so steadily at collectively hampering our population's opportunity to educate ourselves out of this mess.

It's truly scary, and also very sad, to watch from the inside.

He's really showing a strong anti-anti-corruption agenda. Who woulda thunk it?

I thought that said "obitted" and I nearly clutched my pearls and gasped at the suggestiom

LOL do you not think there is an extraordinary amount of power, capital, and resources to be gained by inserting himself into the negotiations? Gimme a break. This guy has been broadcasting exactly who he is, it's time people start believing him.

Musk's America. Trump is an impotent CEO, answerable to Chairman of the Board of the USA Elon Musk. At least, that's what it looked like to me in the Hannity interview. And once Musk deposes Trump, things are gonna get darker fast.

Obviously, I hope I'm wrong, this is all speculation, but holy shit this looks ugly.

"These criminals are sinners, and just like Jesus before them, they must die for their sins!"

I imagine it goes something like that

"ss" = screenshot, I get it now.

I took me a second. At first I could Nazi what the letters represented.

I've been mostly using Nginx Proxy Manager, but I recently set up Bunkerweb as a WAF for a couple of public services I'm hosting and I kind of like it. It does reverse proxy along with a bunch of other things (bad behavior blocking, geographic blocking, SSL cert handling, it does a lot).

Mentioning it because I didn't see any other mention of it yet.

NPM is easy to use. Caddy sounds like something I'd like to try too now.

Good luck on your journey. I don't have anything contructive to say to help, but this is certainly a way in which I would fuck up and I hope you find an answer.

Well, Andrew Jackson ignored them and we got the American historical period of excellence we now affectionately refer to as the Trail of Tears, so there's that...

Thanks for the follow-up, this is insightful stuff

Steel manning means arguing in good faith for a side even if you might feel differently

I meant it respectfully, and I appreciate the perspective

You're right, of course, and I appreciate the angle you are steel manning here. I just also know that those greedy fucks speak money and that's exactly what they are fucking with in terms of union dues tied to employment and membership, so it should still be clear to any judge that the union has a crystal clear legal and financial interest in the outcome, both of which are topics of particular interest amongst the money-sniffing bunch as they are directly tied to power and influence

5 Republican senators are named in the summary. Any 4 of them could have stopped any of his insane confirmations from happening.
