Wow, this is incredibly based of the dad and I respect the hell out of it.

Just block, don't argue. A person who would post this while ignoring everything he's said in public, and then force you to debate them on whether he ever said anything in public? That's not good faith. Block. This is not a person you want to talk to.

That's because their personal concern about democracy is zero. Zero concern. They have money and power, they don't need democracy. The threat that the store down the road will be closed when they want to buy tic-tacs is more concerning to them than Trump's threat to democracy.

I'm sure the richest company in the world is super worried about this threat.

For sure. They don't care how the money arrives. Tell them whatever lies you need to tell them as long as the credit card number matches up.

I'm actually hopeful that America had a brush with death and may shy away from that noise this time. We've got about 30% of the population still holding that loaded gun to our heads, but I think the rest of us understand what happens if we let them pull the trigger. Time will tell.

Three days after nearly a dozen people were treated for heat-related symptoms

Damn, every single person who showed up?

This is Biden taking credit for Bernie Sanders' insulin price cap.

The woman who launched the site gets clocked as trans by gender prediction systems. It's already happened.

Thank you! I knew this had a cohost feel to it

Headline: prison sentence may be the least of his problems

The quote, 4 sentences into the article under the headline: actually he's just looking at a longer prison sentence

I was like damn, what can they do to him that's worse than prison and the answer is "more prison". Clickbait headline.

Whose art is this? It's sick as hell

He's been a conservative hack for a while (and he's been a hack for his entire career), he just hid it better than, say, Victoria Jackson or something. This is him feeling too comfortable. I'm glad this crowd didn't let him stay comfortable.

When they tell you they're walking back Recall and it's "off by default", remember that they constantly do this shit.

Nothing could possibly benefit that company as much as Elon Musk getting demotivated and no longer coming in to work.

In that condition she could probably have convinced him to "legally" deed all his properties to her. (She would need to be able to enthrall everyone in the room when it happens, otherwise witnesses will testify he wasn't of sound mind, but that seems like something she could solve.)

It gets complicated after that, though, lots of shareholder suits if she does anything too drastic. Maybe she converts all those assets into investments in renewable energy, which would keep shareholders off her back.

Then she only has to deal with assassin squads sent by the rest of the oil stakeholders but, again, that seems like a problem she could solve.

I hate amazon as much as the next guy but the way this works is documented and well-known. The people who stored it there fucked up.
