Stable Genius Elon?

“Should I step down as head of Twitter? I will abide by the results of this poll.”

A billionaire losing a “do you like me” poll on a service he paid $44 billion for is just an objectively funny way for his Twitter purchase to end.

Before he steps down I’d just like to thank Elon Musk for shattering the myth that billionaires are smarter, more hard working, or simply any better than anyone else in the most public way imaginable.

boy you guys never stop going after anyone who doesn’t tow the line. So much for being an environmental hero, which Musk probably is.

What does it say Pete, that the left is so scared of removing politically-motivated censorship?

He may be a good guy, maybe not, i have no clue nor do i especially care. But he challenged woke lefties, therefore you’re all obsessed with destroying him.

Poor victim
Am I the only person who thinks Elon is in reality being FORCED to step down as the CEO of Twitter?
Besides you should be ecstatic, Jared Kushner, Donald Trump’s son-in-law, is rumored to be Elon Musk’s pick for Twitter’s CEO.
I’ll bet it’s just a coincidence that links to Post, Mastadon, and Tribel are banned but links to Parler, Gab, and Gettr are not.

yup, elon musk is a victim!!!

Pete, it’s a private company, they can do what they want. You didn’t have chit to say when they were obsessed with silencing conservatives. Now that conservatives can tweet as long as they follow the rules, you’re losing whatever was left of your mind

Pete, is there a single republican out there who you think is a really good person, but who just happens to disagree with you? Or are we all Sith lords?

Another made up quote? i googled MTG and that quite, found nothing. Wouldn’t have been shocked if she said it, nor would anyone be shocked if you made it up.

You’ve already proven yourself to be a RINO, but you’ll never get the Trump stink off.

The funniest part of this $44 Billion blunder is since he started alienating leftists, who just so happen to be the biggest purchasers of electric vehicles, his Tesla stock has lost half its value and on top of that he’s had to sell Billions worth just to keep Twitter afloat 😂

As far as your latest hero efforts on censorship, yes I’m sure the Saudis and Qataris who are famously deeply invested in the civilization-defining battle at Twitter are renowned for their defense of free public speech.

You’ll have to decide for yourself what (MTG?) means, I’m sure most could figure that out.

see your inability to read is off again. i said many times that if fox news can be biased, so can twitter. The issue with twitter is that the fbi. was trying to get them ( and facebook) to censor a story for political reasons, and that’s not the FBIs job. Twitter can do whatever it wants


How many times do i have to say “if fox news can be biased, so can twitter, they can do whatever they want”, before you understand?

you really are quite stupid.

Wayne, since you LOVE posting the misdeeds of obscure republicans no one has ever heard of, and assuming his actions speak for all Republicans...

Well sir, here is Bidens senior nuclear energy official, a man arrested for multiple thefts of ladies luggage. Please tell me if you are on the hook for how this man conducts himself. I assume you'll admit his actions speak for you, since you constantly say all Republicans are responsible for what every single Republican does.

I'll wait.

Sorry if the truth hurts.

You also lied (no refuting it) when you said only republicans are talking about alternative theories of what happened, when the NBC affiliate in San Francisco also did so. Also the NBC news national reporter.

It ain't just republicans.

The reality is most media is either right or centrist. Calling it "left media" to make people reject it and fear it is what the fascists have done, and it has worked. There is no mainstream left media.

Don't know what is more unbelievable, that he thought he could get away with it or that his opponent didn't check his resume.

I’ll wait really Jim as if your having a gotcha moment lol


Man you’re desperate

A ) she’s appointed not elected

B) she admits she stole the items and did it prior in a separate airport reports show

C) Department of Energy spokesperson says Brinton Sam Brinton is no longer a DOE employee, case closed

D) now she waits for her court date and punishment . As expected


So far the person I highlighted is

A) elected
B) admitted nothing
C) hasn’t resigned

And my original question what if anything will the GOP do if what he did is True

The democrat administration fired their petty criminal

This was the prevailing response towards Musk’s Twitter poll. If he should say or Go . On newsmax he’s their newest hero

I suspect many of the votes against where bots anyway. Elon has to stay, the free world needs him.

Classic response witch hunts bots or fake news

"she’s appointed not elected "

I'm aware. What does that say about the judgment of the people that appointed him? A transvestite kleptomaniac? Terrific!

Yes I'm very desperate. You're posting comments from readers of a conservative site, looking for the most radical ones you can find, and claiming that speaks for all republicans.

Fine.

Then the most radical, stupid, immoral liberals, speak for your whole side. Right? Or do you only apply that logic to the right?

Oh, so you don't like lies from elected politicians? So what's your opinion on CT Senator Richard Blumenthal? Or Bidens many lies, such as getting arrested with Nelson Mandela? Are those lies disqualifying? Or is it only bad when Republicans do it?

You go back to your old stale canned arguments shocking.


What does that say about the judgment of the people that appointed him? A transvestite kleptomaniac?

Jim she wasn’t arrested so there’s no issues in her background check.. but for you Tranny is was warning sigh. Not being qualified .. we get it


You're posting comments from readers of a conservative site, looking for the most radical ones you can find, and claiming that speaks for all republicans.

Sorry Jim no looking no searching at all their right on the site .

They do speak for all Republicans and all Republicans speak for them or even worse don’t say anything against them . But keep convincing yourself the GOP is on steady ground

So you still dodged the question is it ok to lie to get elected?

And there’s yours and the GOPs ethics problem . You and them don’t have any.. that’s why Trump’s running for office again members of the house of refuse subpoenas you’re all just so ethical

This is his lawyers response classic GOP victim hood

lawyer for Mr Santos hit back at the claims, describing them as "defamatory" and a "shotgun blast of attacks".
"George Santos represents the kind of progress that the Left is so threatened by - a gay, Latino first generation American and Republican,"

How about if they just address the discrepancy’s

It’s not like their accusing him of being a Muslim and claiming his birth certificate is fake

So, the kooks on the right speak for everyone on the right. But the kooks on the left don't speak for the whole left, you just ignore the kooks on the left because, well they're kooks.

Wayne, that approach must make life very easy for you. But it has zero principle to it.

Jim when the Republican Party it’s leaders and representatives remain silent or actively support Trump and his lies. Refuse subpoenas. Call Jan 6th a witch hunt . Censures members who for voting to impeach Trump ..

Then yes it’s that easy! They are afraid of the crazy and want and search for their support and vote and amplify their madness .

Jim your in denial once again doing what you do best ! pushing bogus comparisons , in another attempt to suggest everyone does it

Incoming GOP Rep.’s family Holocaust claims challenged

Megan Smolenyak, an author and professional genealogist who helped research Santos’ family tree said in email, “There’s no sign of Jewish and/or Ukrainian heritage and no indication of name changes along the way.”

And some think this is just because he’s a Republican

Seems lying is a Republican trait which most support if they can get a win by lying

George Santos also hid a marriage and divorce to a woman, with the divorce coming weeks before he filed for his first congressional campaign. Yet he ran for Congress claiming he’d been openly gay for a decade.

More lies and secrets from Santos. The man is a fraud.

Rep.-elect George Santos acknowledges ‘résumé lies he calls embellishment’

And used Jim’s logic as his defense . Claiming what he did wasn’t illegal
So it’s ok.

when did i use that as a defense of politicians lying to get elected? i think he should be impeached. You shouldn’t benefit from lying.

Hearing those voices again, eh?

But you only care when republicans do it. Biden lies, richard blumenthal lies, those are ok. but when a republican does it, THAT is when you care.
