The chairman of the party should not be insulting the intelligence of Republican voters. A debate was promised and these ridiculous criteria are being used to renege on that promise and to engineer a preferred outcome.
Why not just take 90 minutes, find a tv partner, and let the candidates mix it up?
The only reason why you wouldn’t is if the party hierarchy is serving outside interests instead of the best interests of the voters.
Three neighbors. Same road, same sheriff, same fire truck, same EMS.
One pays $5,000 in property tax. The next pays $2,500. The third pays $1,250.
Same services. Four times the bill. The only difference is a guess about what their houses might sell for.
That is not a tax. It is a penalty for owning.
Protesters are standing outside JPMorgan Chase in New York this weekend, holding giant banners that say “STOP ELON • NO TRILLIONAIRES” and “ELON IS STEALING YOUR PENSION”
These people are protesting the greatest success story in modern history. Let’s look at the actual reality:
• Elon has already paid more in taxes than almost anyone alive
• Tesla and SpaceX employ well over 100,000 people and actively push humanity forward.
• Through DOGE, he already helped cut billions in wasteful government spending. That saved taxpayers hundreds of billions.....meaning he actually helped secure grandmas' pensions by slashing bureaucracy, not the other way around.
• Friday's historic SpaceX IPO didn't "steal" from anyone. It created massive value, turned everyday workers into millionaires, and rightfully made him the world’s first trillionaire
He didn’t steal anything. He built it from the ground up
His companies have created massive job growth, accelerated sustainable energy, and are literally building the infrastructure to make humanity multi-planetary
Rather than celebrating excellence, demanding the government punish it is pure evil
🚨 USS Liberty Survivor: “I’m the only one [gunner] left...”
“Poor Larry was in the gun tub... only one of four who survived...He stopped to help an injured sailor, that hesitation saved his life.”
“I still have 52 pieces of shrapnel in me.”
You know what I’ve been thinking about? There are far more racist people in this country than I ever realized.
I have been blown away watching people celebrate the death of a White teenage boy simply because the person who killed him was Black.
This teenager was not on drugs. He was not a troublemaker.
He had never committed a crime.
He played sports, made good grades, respected his parents, and was loved by so many people.
Yet some people have found joy in his death because they care more about race than right and wrong.
That is not justice. That is racism, hatred, and pure evil.
A teenage boy lost his life. Anyone celebrating that should be ashamed.
@NeoAbeLink@amitylee13 This is not about a 250 years birthday that happens July 4th. It's about the largest 80 year old toddler in the worlds birthday which happens to be today.
SpaceX raised only $12B of capital before going public. With that $12B, they revolutionized the rocket industry, built a global satellite network, and created arguably the most innovative company of all time.
The federal government spends $12B every 15 hours and still can’t get its shit together. Prior to SpaceX, NASA was sending astronauts into space on Soviet-era Russian Soyuz capsules.
So no, I don’t find Elon’s wealth to be a problem, and I wouldn’t trust Elizabeth Warren or Bernie Sanders to allocate a single dollar of it.
@SwipeWright My husband spooked one up under our Japanese Maple by the retaining wall and it went over it and got knocked out. It was up and gone before he could get to it though. Haven't seen any new fawns in the yard yet this year. Maybe scared. 👀
