"Funding candidates" should be impossible in a real democracy.
This is oligarchy and trump knows it.
How unfitting for a prez to threaten people publicly. GOOP has no shame.
By “fund” he means “rig election for”
Quick! Someone explain Citizens United to Trump and how it will allow Elon to get away with this!
Sorry. Calvinball rules. Actually, donating to liberals is illegal.
Someone should tell him that the best way to get back at Elon would be to start taxing billionaires.
Win win win
You son of a bitch
I'm in.
Now THAT is how you break the clock!
“If he does, he’ll have to pay the consequences for that,” Trump told NBC News in a phone interview, but declined to share what those consequences would be.
I wonder how many times his attorneys have explained to him the concept of incriminating yourself in advance of retaliation.
Trump can say and do whatever he wants. It's his lawyer team to make sure he doesn't under court oath. For example, Trump's entire life and the amount of days he hasn't been in jail.
He's got away with everything so far.Why should he start caring about the law now? Legal, illegal, that's for the poors to worry about.
Not like it really matters anymore:(
I'm sorry, I will not vote for any Democrat that takes money from a fucking Nazi.
Cool, people not voting out of principle because they didn't like the democrat enough is how the USA got here, but go ahead, keep trying that method.
At least Trump fixed all the overseas problems those people cared so much about, right?
I feel like the people not voting made it 100% clear what they were looking for. If they're the deciding factor in who wins the election, maybe it was a massive fuck up to ignore them?
If it's too small a group to matter, then stop focusing on them as the reason Dems lost. If they're a major factor in the election, Dems should treat then that way.
They did make themselves clear and I respect them sticking to their principles if nothing else. I just hope it was really worth it to them if the republicans actually pull off a dictatorship like they've been promising. Like good job sticking it to those dems in the one election they might not ever get to rectify it.
And I hope it was worth it to them the people getting caught up in all the bullshit, such as having their lives ruined, being sent to prison for life, and dying, in the next 4 years regardless of whether they stay in power.
Again, at least the genocide they were worried about was averted, right.
AIPAC doesn't leave a lot of names available.
When is one of these fucking dipshits going to have the other killed?
Noblemen typically don't kill each other.
In what universe? Because it certainly isn't this one.
You're on the wrong track, I've seen this particular abusive relationship before.
This is Trump saying "If I can't have you, no one will!" and it ends with a murder/suicide...
My fantasy is that Trump tries to have Elon killed/arrested but fails because he's rich and has very good guards. So then Elon sends someone to kill Trump, which is successful. Then Elon dies from some drug complications right after. If we're lucky, they both die after shitting their pants.
In this scenario, I would like Thiel, Yarvin, Marjorly, and the rest of the fascist gang to die in a freak aeroplane crash.
I would have a very difficult time voting for someone who received funding from musk.
