@Mollyploofkins fyi... every Presidential motorcade has 3 "The Beast" configured limos... 20k lbs EACH. Good luck to the polyurea lining which is finicky as heck to apply in the first place. But ya know.... photo-op. 😂
These assholes drove right over the coating. It's not even a vehicular traffic coating (which is meant to be driven on), and they're wondering why it's pealing? Was it even cured? These people are fucking stupid and can't own up to their own mistakes.
Isn’t hockey great? Canadians are cheering on a Swede who plays for an American team after he crushed an American who plays for a Canadian team because the American supports a pedo who hates Canadians.
Funny how the 'zombie filibuster' and silent obstruction are suddenly a crisis when it blocks YOUR bill... but were just fine when Mitch McConnell turned the Senate into a legislative graveyard.
He let hundreds of House-passed bills die without even a reading, debate, or vote, over 250 by mid-2019, climbing to 395 by early 2020 (McConnell himself admitted it on Fox: 'We're not going to pass those').
Many were bipartisan, popular measures on background checks, drug prices, election security, infrastructure, you name it. But they didn't fit the GOP agenda, so they rotted on his desk while the Senate worked light weeks and prioritized judges & tax cuts.
Now one citizenship-proof bill gets stalled and it's time to revive talking filibusters? Spare us the selective outrage. The Senate's been dysfunctional for years and YOUR side mastered the art of doing nothing when it suited them... I'm not sure who more of a clown is for pushing this narrative you or @elonmusk
Marriage license proves a name changed, but SAVE Act requires citizenship proof (birth cert/passport/naturalization papers) to exactly match your current legal name on voter rolls. No automatic fix—many need extra docs/fees/time to bridge maiden → married name mismatches.Brennan Center: >21M citizens lack ready access to these docs; millions of married women (est. 69M affected by name changes) face hurdles replacing lost records or getting court orders. That's real friction over fraud that's vanishingly rare—e.g., Brennan 2016 study: ~30 suspected non-citizen cases out of 23.5M votes (0.0001%). Heritage database: only ~77 non-citizen voting cases 1999-2023 nationwide. Pioneer women & suffragists were tough legends—fought for easier access to the ballot, not new barriers that hit women hardest. Republicans supported suffrage (bipartisan: 72R-17D Senate vote), credit where due—but this risks suppressing way more eligible voters than it stops imaginary masses.Nonissue? Not when logistics & data say otherwise. Suffragists wanted voting rights expanded, not complicated
@tonitontony@fordnation Funny how Ford closed SCS → public use/overdoses spiked in libraries, drop-ins, TTC → now 'cracking down' on the open use his policy displaced. SCS linked users to rehab voluntarily (thousands of referrals). You can't 'just rehab' without bridges. Irony level: expert.
Hey Doug, congrats on 'fixing' the open drug use on the TTC; by first closing the supervised sites that kept it off the streets and subways in the first place. Classic move: create the mess, then swoop in as the tough-on-crime savior. Next up, maybe ban umbrellas and complain about all the rain? People aren't scared of addicts; they're scared of policies that pretend harm reduction is the problem instead of the toxic supply and lack of real supports. But sure, more arrests will totally solve the addiction crisis you helped redirect into public view. #FordFixes
Oh Becky, pioneer women crossed continents & built bombers... yet couldn't vote till 1920 when men finally said 'ok fine.' So flexing that grit to defend SAVE Act paperwork? Non sequitur city. It's not 'just ID'—it's exact citizenship docs matching current name. Millions of married women (80% change names) get snagged for a non-problem. Suffragists fought harder than this red tape.
What Musk is doing here is a new kind of evil. The use of media to propagandise, manipulate, disenfranchise, and control a population is not new, but incentivising it at scale like this absolutely is. Accounts are growing rapidly, and being paid significantly, to support fascism.
4/ Pot, meet kettle. If celebrities should "stay in their lane" when they speak on politics (your frequent vibe), maybe the richest man on Earth—who's never run for office, studied law, or lived under UK governance—should zip it on calling democratically elected reps traitors. Or is the rule only for people whose opinions you dislike?
1/ Elon, the guy who tells actors to "shut up and act," musicians to stick to music, and directors to stop being "woke" is now playing Judge Dredd on UK parliamentary procedure from 5,000 miles away.Hecklers = "high treason"? Really? Last I checked, the Treason Act 1351 requires actual war against the Crown or aiding enemies—not disagreeing with Rupert Lowe's rhetoric in the chamber. Parliamentary privilege exists precisely so MPs can heckle without being branded traitors. But sure, keep trivializing centuries-old law like it's a meme.
3/ Newsflash: You're not a UK citizen, resident, lawyer, or constitutional expert. You're a tech CEO who routinely gets called out for mangling US federal basics (remember the $50M Gaza condoms aid myth you walked back?). Yet here you are, dropping "high treason" nukes on a debate you don't fully understand, while amplifying the same far-right ecosystem that brought us Tommy Robinson rallies where you urged people to "fight back or die."
2/ You endorsed Rupert Lowe's "Restore Britain" splinter as "the only one who will actually do it," after flipping from praising Reform/Farage. Now you're accusing elected MPs of literal treason for heckling a speech on immigration/human rights priorities. That's not commentary; that's foreign billionaire cosplay as British prosecutor.
@elonmusk Quick civics refresher from Saturday mornings: 'I'm just a bill, yes I'm only a bill…' The filibuster is part of the deliberate, messy process the Founders built to prevent one side from steamrolling the other. It blocked Dems for years too. Democracy isn't 'pass it now or it's dead'—it's surviving the grind. Maybe cue up Schoolhouse Rock before pushing to nuke Senate rules?
