Do these people think real life is a fucking game? At this point I’m convinced repoblicans are delusional
…because they are?
That’s the result of being rich and not knowing what consequences are.
Imaging touching a hot plate and not burning yourself. What incentive would there be to not touch that plate?
No, you touch the hot plate and someone else gets burnt.
Do these people think real life is a fucking game?
Yes. And that they have to ‘win’. And that the consequences for other people ‘don’t matter’.
That wouldn’t even fucking work, lol. You need, at minimum, a proof of address, and even if you spoofed 10 different names and addresses that each corresponded to 10 specific precincts, you’re going to be given a provisional ballot, in which case your vote doesn’t even get counted until it has been independently researched and verified by county workers, which if it succeeds, won’t get counted till a week later.
God. I fucking hate that these idiots have a non-zero chance of winning.
I can’t belive it’s a bloody coin flip…
I can. We’ve seen so much proof that 30% of people will believe literally anything.
In fact 30% is probably on the low end given poll results on issues like climate change and evolution vs. creationism.
Hey! Your “FACTS” don’t TRUMP her FEELINGS!
This also tells me she never voted… doesn’t even know how the thing works.
We live in a world that if you call someone an idiot or violate some other arbitrary rule you get banned, but if you spread dangerous lies you usually are fine and rarely see a consequence
she’s obviously not going to get banned on her son’s weird personal blog
Yeah. Shit like this has driven me to the conclusion that the logical end state of civility politics invariably tends towards fascism.
and how do you deal with that?
By not treating civility as though it’s some kind of unbreakable rule. It’s okay to tell dickheads to stop acting like dickheads.
We could use more of that in general, I mean evaluation of the rules and their relative importance on a case-by-case basis rather than taking any one rule as an absolute or in some absolute order of priorities. Particularly when it comes to broad rules like freedom of speech or freedom of religion that might not always deserve the same priority for all cases where you could apply them.
Indeed.

Sell a bit of plant material, prison.
Never pay taxes and rile up people to attack the government while spreading the most insane shit ever, president of the US.
Should have let her run her little scam so she could go to jail like the other Karen’s.
I didn’t realize Musk bought citizenship for his apartheid mother. And she’s here quoting sovcit qnut conspiracy garbage at us like it’s a real thing. Fuck the Musk family until the end of time.
And every fucking time it’s been proven in court, it’s been a Republican that did it.
The game I always play when I see news stories like this is
Who did it.
I always guess republican.
I’m not sure when I was last wrong… it’s very rare.
Seems like a very boring game
Some people like winning all the time
That’s because the LYING NEWS MEDI… jk
If everytime something happened and it was a Democrat guess what, Democrats would ditch that person. Republicans, tho, hold them closer.
“Because the deep state libs are in power so the only ones they’ll prosecute are the Republicans who do it”
I can hear it now lmao
She’s just prepping some Rs to think that faking votes is easy so they’ll be more accepting of the idea that the election was stolen when Trump loses. As a bonus she also makes it seem like the R party is the one stopping this fictional fraud.
It’s very clear that these people legitimately do not understand how voter registration works on even the most basic level.
That and creating voter fraud instances so that they can call the whole thing a sham and kick the inevitable case to the SCOTUS, whom will kick it then to the house. I believe this is the plan to get Trump the win.
She’s rich. And she’s white.
She’s not going to be charged.
She’s Elon Musk’s mother and a republican, her sense of constantly feeling like a victum is punishment in itself
Here’s a fun article about how different people are treated differently for the same crime. You gotta love the good ol’ U.S. of A.
She eventually got acquitted
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-68693700
The whole story is fucking bonkers though. She did everything right while being uncertain and it’s insane she got punished for it.
I think we all know what would have happened to her if it didn’t make the news
She’s everything I expect from a white South African who became incredibly rich from owning a emerald mine.
Please don’t think all white South Africans are like Elon.
Pre-94 notwithstanding.
— sincerely, a broke white South African
If you owned a mine, I can’t promise I wont attach some assumptions about you.
She’s also Canadian. So even worse.
i need the arrest of Tina Peters running in tvs on loop
I demand you stop calling her Megatron, that is way too cool of a nickname for that woman.
It’s really not
Fuck you Megatron’s cool
deleted by creator
I don’t get why she’d be called that anyway.
Nobody wants to point out the community notes sound like the narrator from Arrested Development?
Just some… light treason.
Ron Howard:
Why besmirch Megatron’s good name like that?
Do they not realize how annoying and hard it is for the average person to vote just once during an election?
People don’t have that much free time.
It’s easier when you just stand in line for 3 hours, walk up to the intake desk, and immediately provide all 10 names.
This is why I love mail voting.
- receive ballot in mail
- fill it out
- mail it (must pay postage) or drop it off at a ballot box sometime in the 2-weeks before the election
I have never actually voted in-person, I just don’t have the time for that.
I don’t even have to pay postage!
Look at you, fancypants. :)
I’ve voted in person a few times. But I absolutely prefer mail in. I can calmly, quietly, and thoroughly look through the options on the ballot. In person I feel rushed and judged.
Every part of it is better with mail in ballot.
Exactly! I do it in front of my computer where I can research candidates and issues. If I went to a polling station, I wouldn’t have the time to do that research. I tend to spend 30 min or more on my ballot, even though I’m pretty sure I can accurately predict the results of the election before even looking at the ballot (in my area, the R will win; if it’s not a partisan office, the incumbent will win; if it’s a yes/no, it’ll be yes, unless it’s something I actually want, in which case no).
(in my area, the R will win; if it’s not a partisan office, the incumbent will win; if it’s a yes/no, it’ll be yes, unless it’s something I actually want, in which case no).
I’m not in quite a red area, but I feel your pain
Here I’d have to insert between step 2 and 3 “get it notarized”, here ballots don’t count if mailed in without a notary.
That’s really weird. In my state, the only signature that matters is the voter’s, and the voter can track their ballot though every stage of the vote counting process. I forget what it looks like exactly, but I think there’s an option for someone to sign if they’re helping the person fill it out.
I personally drop mine off at the ballot box because I feel like it’s safer (and I don’t want to pay for a stamp).
Requiring a notary to sign would probably be considered illegal voter suppression and potentially considered a “poll tax” (because you’d essentially need a bank account to get access to a notary).
Guessing they would state that if you had no access to a notary, voting in person is still allowed (with a valid state issued photo id)
Then the counter is that some people can’t reasonably get to a polling station, either due to work schedules, disability, etc, except at significant cost.
You have to pay someone for your ballot to be valid? Sounds pretty unconstitutional.
Voting in person has no such restriction. Though now you need a valid state instead 6 photo id…
Very easy in civilized countries that don’t try voter suppression.
Less than 20 minutes on average for me. That is, 20 minutes from leaving home, walking to the nearest voting place, voting, and walking back. Added about 5 minutes or so when part of my work commute.
I didn’t know Elon Musk’s mom was Cruella DeVille
Ah we’ve found the source of the insanity! So he was always like this huh, since birth.
Conspiracy theory is that this is another one of Elon’s sock puppet accounts. A version of his mom that appreciates his work.
That doesn’t even make sense unless he’s locked her up in a basement cage.
Otherwise she’d come out saying it’s not her.
If it is a sock puppet then she’s agreeing by not saying anything which means his mom does appreciate his work and approves of this and it’s not a ‘version’ of her.
Why would she bother? If I said my parents said crazy stuff, my parents probably wouldn’t notice or care. I don’t have a Twitter/X account, nor do I follow it, and the only exposure I get is here. If someone started saying crazy stuff about me, I probably wouldn’t notice, and if I did, probably wouldn’t care enough to correct the record publicly.
But if you pretended to be your parents saying it on the open internet? That’s pretty different
If I pretended to be my parents, my parents literally wouldn’t notice, nor would they probably care too much if they did.
wouldn’t notice,
Are you checks noted one of the richest people in the world stirring up shit where it’s almost certainly likely someone would tell them?
nor would they probably care too much if they did.
Then they accept it and are complicit.
Then they accept it and are complicit.
Strong disagree there.
And no, I’m not extremely rich or famous, but even if I was, I wouldn’t expect my parents to step in if I started doing stupid stuff, unless that crossed into slander or libel or something.

Holy shit your right elon is all of them!
Republicans don’t make up the bullshit about election fraud, they read their own playbook and only change the names. Such is the criminal weirdo party.
