The Elon Musk Twitter shitshow

It appears as if you see his activity / non-activity through the paradigm of normal CEO capacity. I will suggest that perspective is limited.
Let’s start with,
Do you believe he adheres to anything like a ~40 hour M-F 8-5 pm work week? Or no?
What is the role of a CEO?
What do you think he does?
What are his weekly activities?
The first felony conviction of a former US President wasn’t for the Iraq or Afghanistan wars, illegal CIA coups, drone striking weddings, or spying on Americans…
It was because Trump misclassified a $130,000 payment for a porn star’s NDA.
Tells you everything you need to know.
Do you consider the former to be lesser crimes?
I believe you can’t charge a President criminally for policy decisions he or she consider to be in the best interests of the country, and taken in the course of their official duties. Isn’t that the difference here?
Misclassified is a funny way to spell the words fraudulently and conspiracy.
Are you looking for bright-line rules in this area? They don’t exist. I believe the Supreme Court is currently considering a very similar issue.
Yep
Nothing Trump did had anything to do with US policy.
He falsified business records AND made illegal payments to avoid taxes.
Those are felonies.
The SC did not need to rule on anything related to that.
Nothing Trump did in this case OR in the 1/6 case OR in the stolen documents case has any relation to any "official action". A "normal" SC would not have bothered taking the case, because there is nothing controversial. Only IF there were an official action would they need to rule on it.
It's not a close call. The appellate court stated that overtly, and Justice Luttig has stated the same thing.
They are delaying the case to rule on something that they do not need to rule on here.
That is precisely how things work in every other case - they make a narrow ruling that ONLY applies to the facts at hand - they DO NOT "make shit up" and "speculate" on what-ifs that are not relevant to the facts before them.
It is why this situation is completely upside-down here, and the Court is destroying its legitimacy to run interference for Trump.
He isn’t allowed to have a dumb opinion? Are you suggesting this outcome is not viewed as political persecution by millions? I do not view it this way. I do not agree with Musk here, but to simply say what millions are thinking isn’t some revelation.
The Elites have protected every past President from criminal prosecution for all wrongdoing except one. Observing that fact isn’t groundbreaking.
My only hope is that the Democratic leadership and liberals prosecute Joe Biden for his various crimes as fervently as they pursued Trump when he left office. That would be best for the country.
Find some evidence of a crime committed by Biden, and I'm on board.
His drug addict son went on a world tour selling US influence & access for candidate father during a Presidential campaign in 2020. No charges yet.
Hillary & Co concocted aspects of the Russian collusion hit job with Spooks in 2016. Which served as premise for surveillance on Trump campaign and influenced the election. No charges yet.
I was hoping they would charge and convict him for something more serious. Not an illegal paperwork classification.
Do you realize how this looks to most people on the Right or not?
you mean the people who think that every single criticism or even the suggestion of accountability for something is unfair political persecution of trump?
yeah...i have a general idea
They charged the FBI lawyer who falsified evidence for the Carter Page warrant, he got probation.
They also charged the Clinton lawyer who shopped their BS to the FBI, but he was not convicted.
The crimes were committed before he was president.
The MAGA conservatives are running an interference delay play.
Which means the alleged "moderate" Roberts really isn't the moderate he wants you to believe.
Roberts should have taken the lead and denied this from the get-go. Now, you know who he really is.
How so?
He had no position in the US government or WH.
UNLIKE Jared Kushner and Ivanka did.
They have "charged him" for those more serious cases.
The SC and other judges are "running interference" on those cases to run the clock out for him, so he can regain the WH and then have the power to quash them.
If you want to be 100% certain that cannot happen, you vote a straight Dem ticket this fall. Whether you like the Dems, or not.
Since you clearly will not do that, you really do not "hope" any of this.
I called Eloon a racist loser years ago. An apartheid entitled white Arfikaner. A nobody who made money in PayPal and was privileged to have a rich father. If he and Trump disappeared, no one with a peanut of a brain, would shed a tear.
Wow, that's amazing.
I bet that doesn't happen in every district in America right?
Right........
Hopefully we see a repeat of the E-Loon led introduction of Meatball Ron’s campaign
So nothing on Joe. And only Hillary grabbed something already begun by the RNC, who were too chicken shit to continue. And as the Mueller report has shown, it wasn't a hit job.
Do you (or Elno) even read what you Tweet, bro?
Elno: It's a trivial matter
JK Rowling:
I still struggle to see why it's a trivial matter if a billionaire falsifies their business records, though, whatever the context.
Means: ANY time a billionaire falsifies their business records, it's actually a Big Deal
Elno: Well, OK, it's NOT a trivial matter. But why isn't Bragg prosecuting someone else?
Damn. When CNN says it’s a political hit job. You KNOW it’s bad.

CNN Senior Legal Analyst Describes How The Trump Conviction Was A Political Hit Job
1. "The judge donated money... in plain violation of a rule prohibiting New York judges from making political donations—to a pro-Biden, anti-Trump political operation."
2. Alvin Bragg boasted on the campaign trail in an overwhelmingly Democrat county, “It is a fact that I have sued Trump over 100 times.”
3. "Most importantly, the DA’s charges against Trump push the outer boundaries of the law and due process."
4. "The charges against Trump are obscure, and nearly entirely unprecedented. In fact, no state prosecutor — in New York, or Wyoming, or anywhere — has ever charged federal election laws as a direct or predicate state crime, against anyone, for anything. None. Ever."
5. The DA inflated misdemeanors past the statute of limitations and "electroshocked them back to life" by alleging the falsification of business records was committed 'with intent to commit another crime.'
6. "Inexcusably, the DA refused to specify what those unlawful means actually were — and the judge declined to force them to pony up — until right before closing arguments. So much for the constitutional obligation to provide notice to the defendant of the accusations against him in advance of trial."
7. "In these key respects, the charges against Trump aren’t just unusual. They’re bespoke, seemingly crafted individually for the former president and nobody else."
8. "The Manhattan DA’s employees reportedly have called this the “Zombie Case” because of various legal infirmities, including its bizarre charging mechanism. But it’s better characterized as the Frankenstein Case, cobbled together with ill-fitting parts into an ugly, awkward, but more-or-less functioning contraption that just might ultimately turn on its creator."

Prosecutors Got Trump — But They Also Contorted the Law
The Manhattan jury was thrown into a Frankenstein’s monster of a case.
