@2waytvapp @LarryOConnor As I understand, he got the idea from Teddy Roosevelt holding a boxing match there right?

@TheLeadCNN Can citizens bypass States which do not cooperate? Send individually to Federal? Are they creating a workaround?

[Elle Spring @Spring23459]

@Metal_Heath @osage77 @mikeallen @maggieNYT @jonathanvswan @nytimes Fix the problem instead of telling people to sit down. Leaks hurt the country no matter who's pres.

[Elle Spring @Spring23459]

@decktech1047 @osage77 @mikeallen @maggieNYT @jonathanvswan @nytimes Just what I'm saying. Spying efforts are rampant and too easy these days. They need stronger SCIF and better sound shielding.

[Elle Spring @Spring23459]

@osage77 @mikeallen @maggieNYT @jonathanvswan @nytimes Unknown how. Bugs are pretty easy to plant per 007 movies. Or maybe someone with a device a mile away or a trusted someone in a wrong relationship.

Stronger wanding and SCIFF, and better sound shielding are overdue no matter who's in the WH.

[Elle Spring @Spring23459]

@susie_lastname @mikeallen @maggieNYT @jonathanvswan @nytimes I get it, but wanding against taps, spyware and leaks is overdue. Doesn't matter which side. My personal view is that deliberate efforts like this to undermine the country is straight up treasonous.

[Elle Spring @Spring23459]

Sounds like a good thing but a lot of trouble to get some of that to pass... Maybe shifting toward the civil?

Fines rather than expensive criminal prosecutions for election-related illegal harvesting, false registrations, or any type of ballot tampering.

Pull from bank accounts or attach to Federal benefits so monthly benes reduced until fines are paid back?

[Elle Spring @Spring23459]

@RapidResponse47 Disagree. If hit they should hit back hard. Every time.

And there is damage every single time a bomb hits. All those people most have PTSD by now -- on both sides.

[Elle Spring @Spring23459]

@osage77 @mikeallen @maggieNYT @jonathanvswan @nytimes Doesn't matter. It cuts both ways. They now need to start using metal detectors and wanding. No more messing around.

@TrumpDailyPosts @nextnews When some states have set up rules allowing what most of us view as underhanded and "cheating", the only answer is the SAVE America Act.

@cb_doge Always liked guys who can do the day to day "fixit stuff" themselves. Usually takes 3x longer than you think. Pain in the tush. Personal growth factor.

[Elle Spring @Spring23459]

@MoonlitCastle @BasilTheGreat I really like this idea. The guy should give one of his own eyes to repay if at all compatible. But I don't know if that is actually possible yet...

[Elle Spring @Spring23459]

Well, since you are worth $5.2 million yourself, why not just include yourself too?

If you were honest, you would judge it from where the median US citizen stands, not from where you stand.

Half the US would say a public servant should be right in the middle, $5 mil is way too much and you should give back anything over the mid-line.

The full median per adult individual in America is around $124k. For under 30 it's around $54,000 per person — the actual starting middle.

Now what do you say? Do you like that idea? Why don't you give the government your own money down to $54,000? This is real put your money where your mouth is.

[Elle Spring @Spring23459]

By the way, if we were going to go for it then it should be figured from the actual median pretax income in the US.

Everyone above $54,000 per year would give up the rest of their money and put it in the pot. So how do you all like them apples now? Are you still all for the Robinhood deal?

[Elle Spring @Spring23459]

1. Does anyone else notice 'they' always set the 'Too Rich Cap' above their own heads? If they themselves have 100s of thousands then millions is too much. If they have millions then billions is too much. Just like Bernie Sanders.

2. And Elon is mostly stock wealth, it's not a vault with money laying everywhere. If he began cashing out money, he'd tank his business values. They depend on his powerful forward motion. The guy is a work-a-holic; leave him be.

[Elle Spring @Spring23459]

@ORDems Shame on you.

[Elle Spring @Spring23459]

@iam_smx What an insane milestone! Congratulations to Elon Musk - 1st trillionaire hero of humanity's multi-planetary trajectory! 🚀

@Jules31415 California "feels" same way as the border situation "felt" under Biden. And media efforts were to keep it on the dl just like now too.

@ChristineDrazan Will you represent us at the National Mall celebrating America's 250th anniversary? Help to highlight our state? Represent us for tourism and business?
