Looking forward to things improving now as Liberals have promised will happen once Dems win
The best part is that Elon spent $35 million just to lose both the senate and governor positions in Texas.
And 446 million overall. The only bad thing about this is, the ad agencies that were beyond shitty got paid.
$446 million to him is like $4 to a normal person.
so he only has 995 400 millions left? how unfortunate for him 😆
https://purepowerpicks.com/elon-musk-net-worth-tracker/i am not rooting for him, it is just mindblowing that an individial can have so much money that this doesn’t even register. if i buy a dinner, it is bigger part of my net worth than this was for him.
He spent real money, He’s “worth” on paper.
Well done. This is just perfect.
Bye Greg!One of Paul Rudd’s better movies.
I don’t understand, this clip is in all of his movies
Imagine if Texas stayed blue for presidential elections here on out. No more Republican Presidents
they need to take the win and fix the gerrymandering for good
idk if that’s possible, but if it is it should be their top priority
More likely, the republicans would shift on their positions, giving ground on some topics to regain a mostly balanced representation amongst voters.
Hell if I know what positions they’d shift positions on, but no doubt there’d be some.
Republicans always double down, they’ll never move an inch to the left
I literally just said that a few minutes ago. Holy shit that would be glorious!
I think that depends who the Republicans nominate in 2028.
If they nominate someone who is (or at least pretends to be) reasonable, collected, and moderate – someone “back to normal” – I think they’ll be able to win some of these states back. But if they nominate “Trump 2.0, the double-double down,” they’re going to have a bad time.
(Given the way primaries are run, with more extreme members of the base more likely to show up in primary voting, I think the latter is much more likely overall.)
Chicken Dance ftw!
In Mexican culture, this is a very inflammatory gesture.
Which one, and what does it mean?
Oh, it’s a running joke from the show Arrested Development:
I forgot about the Mexican part. I gotta watch that again, it’s been awhile.
You should watch it on Cinco de Cuatro
I wouldn’t mind kissing that man between the cheeks.
Fuck you, Ken!
Fuck you, Greg!EDIT: Fuck you, Dan!
IMPOSSIBLE!!! I was told many times on Lemmy that Trump had rigged the election.
This is fake news
Not rigged, but attempted to stack the deck. Premptive redistricting, suits to throw out votes before they got cast, plenty of ways to try and plausibly skew those few states that would decide things.
It’s nearly impossible to rig a congressional election. There are just too many seats. In a Presidential election, you only have to rig one race in the seven swing states, which was much easier.
MAGA tried a bunch of stuff, and none of it worked. They had plans for post-election, and if the races had been close it might have worked, but they got their nuts stomped so hard, so widely, that they could NEVER rig it enough.
Also we are not out of danger yet. Most experts predicted the actual vote would go okay, but were worried about the aftermath.
The next month is going to be crazy. I predict very desperate measures from people trying to avoid jail, including Musk fleeing the US.
Nah. As long as the democrats are also led by spineless, oligarch and AIPAC-friendly do-nothings like Schumer and Jeffries, nothing important will be done. Progressive, democratic socialists need to become the majority of the party and take over the leadership in order to do anything significant. Things like impeaching corrupt SCOTUS members, impeaching and convicting Trump, Hegseth etc.
The first important step is done, dems have achieved a great victory today. But the next step will be equally as important for the future of the USA. They will have to get rid of Jeffries and Schumer ASAP. At least Pelosi is gone already.
Why would Musk have to flee? Would the Dems charge him with a federal crime that trump already said he would pardon?
I hope the Dems have more teeth this time but what happens if Musk or whoever just doesn’t show up to a subpoena, or just show but claim that every answer falls under executive privilege so they can’t answer.
Whatever happens I hope the Dems are smart enough to pick different leaders in both chambers. We don’t need any more of Jeffries or Schumer.
because they could drag it out past 2028 or until thrombosis kicks in.
Texas didn’t just go blue in the Senate. The AG changed. State can go after him for his myriad of crimes committed there.
Sweet. I would love for that to happen.
Oh I’m sure they have suits lined up across the country ready to claim fraud perpetrated by all their usual boogeymen among other things. I can hope the courts continue file them in the round file just as much as they did with 2020.
Going to need a lot of state cases filed since inevitably he’ll try to pardon everyone around him, but he can’t touch state charges.
The next couple months before a new seating is going to be wild for sure.
They’re not going to do shit. They know they got destroyed and the people aren’t on their side. The fact that they conceded Texas already should tell you everything. It’s literally their most important state outside of Florida.
So sick of the relentless and irrational cynicism on this app.
Yeah you can be a blase and full of copium if you’d like. I think the rest of us aren’t willing to just sit still and assume the fascist are going to play by the rules. The price for fighting against fascism is constant vigilance. We got to keep an eye on these fuckers not go to sleep and let them do what they want while we’re not paying attention.
You and your buddy Hakeem Jeffries can pretend like it’s time to get along, the rest of us remember that Americans were being and are being murdered in the streets. Those lives might have meant nothing to you, but a lot of us went out voted because they do to us. Constant vigilance.
Bars!
My buddy Hakeem Jefferies? Lmao yeah right.
I never said we should take our foot off the gas, I said they aren’t going to reverse the election results because guess what, they fucking can’t.
Mike Johnson just announced he isn’t even running for minority leader next year but you think they’re going to stop the new Congress from being seated? They’re conceding all over the place, is that what you’d do if you were going to rig the election?
You’re just another weirdo terminally online mfer who can’t admit that all your whining and agitating and pessimism was based on pure delusion, and you’re too cowardly to admit you were wrong.
BS. There were tons of comments claiming he was going to rig the vote, declare martial law, or deploy ice and you know it.
It’s only been 12 or so hours, we ain’t put of the woods yet.
When they are seated I’ll breath.
rigged/did =/= could/may
Given the erratic nature of this unhinged person shifting major policy stances with his mood there’s nothing off the table.
Ok guy 👌
Let me know when your conspiracy theories come true. Until then I’ll be enjoying the win like a normal person.
Comments coming from unsubstantiated and random people should be treated with more than a grain of salt. Believing in fear mongering at the behest of the mob is hardly thinking for yourself.
Exactly. I’m just sick of people who refuse you admit they were wrong and instead double down on their cynical delusions.
January 6th didn’t take place the day after the election.
Mike Johnson already announced that he won’t seek the minority leadership next year. There’s literally no whining about the election result being fake, even from Trump himself. The Republicans are conceding all over the country.
They lost. They aren’t going to do shit because they can’t do shit and they know it. You can’t execute a coup when the entire country resoundingly rejects you. It’s the same reason Orban and Vucic had to leave.
