He doesn't care if Repbulicans win so he doesn't care of Musk supports them. Elon needs the US Government because he's a major contractor in defense and space and all of that. There's also Tesla to consider. But to what degree does Trump help with that? I don't know the answer. and following up on this more.... the US government also needs Musk b/c he and his companies are contractors... but does Trump care? Quote

An illegal immigrant!! Everything his cult members were voting to deport!! The guy was here in a student visa when he illegally started his businesses. Deport him and take everything away. 😅😅 Quote

Mr.TaterSalad Posted June 6 Posted June 6 Assuming it holds up in court, but hopefully it doesn't, will Trump's Muslim ban prevent these countries participating in the Olympics in LA? What a ****ing embarrassment that would be. It would be like when the Nazi regime hosted the Olympics in the 1930s. That was a disgrace and so to would this be with our own fascist regime. Quote
romad1 Posted June 6 Posted June 6 Some amusing content here from semi-funny Dana Milbank Opinion | Trump’s mistakes are multiplying only five months into his second term - The Washington Post Quote There is no sanctuary from Trump administration buffoonery. On May 29, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem released a “comprehensive list of sanctuary jurisdictions.” She was “exposing these sanctuary politicians” because they are “endangering Americans and our law enforcement in order to protect violent criminal illegal aliens.” But it immediately became clear that the list of more than 500 states, counties and cities was riddled with errors: misspellings, cities and counties mistaken for each other, and places that don’t exist. Cincinnati became “Cincinnatti,” Campbell County (Kentucky) became “Cambell” County, Greeley County (Nebraska) became “Greenley” County, Takoma Park (Maryland) became “Tacoma” Park, while “Martinsville County” (Virginia) was invented. And so on. Worse, scores of the “sanctuary politicians” she called out turned out to be leaders of MAGA counties and towns with no sanctuary policies on their books. Complaints poured in from Trump allies across the country. “You don’t have that many mistakes on such an important federal document,” said Pat Burns, the Trump-backing mayor of the right-wing stronghold of Huntington Beach, California, mislabeled as a sanctuary city. He told the Associated Press that “somebody’s got to answer” for this “negligent” behavior. Quote

I'm sure there will be exceptions for athletes but I wouldn't trust it. I hope a lot of countries boycott. Trump will then blame California. 1 Quote

It's a pure trade play stock now, more like bitcoin. Quote

You would think he needs nothing, but Trump looks up to people who are richer and/or more powerful than he is. I know, who could be more powerful than the president of the United States? Well, who does Trump believe is more powerful than he? Quote

Not sure I'd call it "finding something". Seems that it's something that should have been dealt with when he was pulled over in Tennessee with a full sized SUV packed full of migrants. They also say they have the dude who hired Garcia to smuggle people so it seems on the surface that they have a strong case. Quote
