Donald Trump on Saturday said there would be “serious consequences” if tech mogul Elon Musk funds Democratic candidates to run against Republicans who vote in favor of the GOP’s sweeping budget bill.
“If he does, he’ll have to pay the consequences for that,” Trump told NBC News in a phone interview, but declined to share what those consequences would be.
“He’ll have to pay very serious consequences if he does that,” he added.
Trump also said he has no desire to repair his relationship with Musk after a feud between the two men erupted into public view earlier this week.
Also, golly gee thank god we avoided BidenSoOld/“GenocideJoe” and Kamala the Cop, because they would have been Just As Bad ™.
“They would have been worse! Kamala would have had higher tariffs!!” - my dad. He doesn’t believe me that tariffs are only a Trump thing… he doesn’t even watch fox. He mostly listens to news from Russia and Ukraine. And that guy on YouTube who sounds like a cartoon character.
Shapiro?
A person in my neighborhood still has a TRUMP LOW PRICES KAMALA HIGH PRICES sign in their front yard, albeit partially hidden behind a bush. Unremarkable except they’re black and living in a subsidized housing development. You just can’t make shit like this up.
That doesn’t really narrow it down much…
Trans people, immigrants, etc fearing for their lives, being kidnapped to a foreign death camp, and going full conservationist on climate change is a lot bigger of a difference than 1.3%.
I would still be in the US if Kamala had won. I’m trans, latina, and in a w4w relationship. But in retrospect, I’m so glad I left
I’m still fucking tired of being treated as a political pawn by so called “leftists” who don’t actually give a shit about intersectionality
Where did you go? I’ve been considering it, but I’m not sure where I’d want to live since it feels like the world’s on fire.
Everything is on fire, but the US is an existential threat. I’d rather go down in a civilized county with public healthcare and friendly people.
I’m not in the same boat, but I empathize. I want the fuck out. Best of luck, and I hope you’re safe.
So much this. So tired of hearing how the Democrats are not perfect. They are a human institution, so of course they are not perfect. Whole lot of people letting the perfect be the enemy of the good. Do I think Democrats can be pushed to do better? Like virtually every other Democratic voter, hell yes, I think so.
Do I think pretending both parties are virtually the same is some truly deep truth or even the least bit helpful? Not even a little bit. But I sure know that lots of people think “both sides” is a great shorthand to showing how insightful they think they are…sigh.
Percentage of US population that is trans/enby:
1.3%
Where is your God now
(It’s actually a range but close enough)
I also mentioned immigrants, and etc. Etc because there are lots of other people being targeted that I don’t have the energy to list.
Name one policy plank from Kamala’s campaign that was going to make a meaningful impact to climate change. As I recall, she danced around the subject and offered a little drilling, as a treat. The democrats were already softening on trans rights, and, as I recall, the Kamalampaign shied away from saying anything pro-trans and simply yelled about how bad Trump would be instead. That was basically the whole campaign-- they had three moves:
Hey, Kamalampaign, we’d really like to see thing, what’s your policy proposals on thing?
Uhhh… Well, you see, Trump is going to be much worse for you than we are.
Oh, look, it’s a celebrity guest appearance! Everyone say hi to Katy Perry!
I can’t believe that you’d have the nerve to even ask questions at a time like this, unbelievable that you’d even ask about thing when the alternative is Trump!
Which isn’t surprising. That’s basically how the HRC campaign played it
when they won in 2016 against Trump, and doubly unsurprising considering that the democrats didn’t trust Kamala enough and decided to stick her with Hillary’s extremely competent campaign leadership. There’s no substance there, no promise or prospect of doing any better, no reason to vote for the candidate, just reasons to vote against the other one. I don’t know who the fuck at the DNC got it in their head that that was a winning strategy, because to my knowledge, it is consistently a bad strategy in marketing, politics, business, and basically everything. And, well, they’ve won 33% of the times they’ve tried it, but by God, don’t let a god awful track record get in the way of the democrats fucking it up again.The IRA is getting gutted and Trump is trying to force coal plants to stay open. Even if Kamala did absolutely nothing, that would still be much better for the climate. 1.3% is not a big number.
I really need you to understand how absolutely cooked the democrats are and the rest of us along with them when the only vision for the future that the democrats will commit to is “we promise to just not be as bad as that guy lmao”
Who’d you vote for?
In the primary? Dean Phillips. In the general, Kamala, and I’m not afraid to share that I think a big reason why the democrats seem to fucking suck at beating Trump is their utter lack of vision.
Fair enough
Don’t need to, Trump is actively stopping federal progress on climate change. Kamala having zero policy on it, doing literally nothing and maintaining the status quo is always better than accelerationism under Trump.
Kamala and Taylor Swift would have killed each other by this point, no doubt
