In today's #vatniksoup, I'll introduce a South African-American(!) businessman and social media figure, Elon Musk (@elonmusk). He's best-known for being the wealthiest man in the world, running Tesla Inc., SpaceX & Twitter, and for parroting Kremlin's propaganda narratives.

And, for anyone about to get their panties in a twist over the Nazi reference, Gestapo is short for Geheime Staatspolizei which translates to "secret state police." That's literally what Republicans have created.
1. Buried in North Carolina's 600+ page budget is a little-noticed provision that creates a secret police force, controlled by Republicans, with extraordinary powers

@sound_hockey I'm glad Beniers is putting the work in, but I wish he had some more accomplished (at the faceoff dot) guys to learn from.
Bellemere is the only one with a career FO% over 50.
@NCGOP Cutting taxes will cause inflation to go up.
Y'all don't seem to know much about economics. I guess that's why the economy does better under Democrats.
@DeepSeaHockey I guess Wright is still the top prospect since he's still seen as having top line potential. I suppose Sale does too, but maybe a lower likelihood of reaching it. So...
1. Wright
2. Evans
3. Kartye
4. Sale
5. Goyette
6. Nelson
7. Dragicevic
8. Nyman
9. Kokko
10. Fisker Molgaard
@NCGOP The southern border is 1000+ miles away. Why would it be high on the list of priorities for NC voters?
Instead of fearmongering about migrants and blaming Biden for everything, how about y'all finally do some good for North Carolinians.
@Michael4Ranger @GregorisFr@JohnFugelsang There was consensus until Dobbs. Now, the pro-choice crowd want a return to Roe (which is why the aim of Democrats is codifying Roe). It's those who want to ban abortion who are arguing about when.
@Michael4Ranger @GregorisFr@JohnFugelsang Yeah, not all Christians can agree on when life begins.
So, maybe we shouldn't let what some people think their magic sky daddy wants dictate policy or healthcare decisions.
You think abortion is wrong? Cool. Don't have one.
@Michael4Ranger @GregorisFr@JohnFugelsang Also, "preborn" cracks me up.
So, like, if a zygote or fetus is "preborn," does that make someone who is alive "born?" And then, it would follow that the dead are "postborn," I guess.
@Michael4Ranger @GregorisFr@JohnFugelsang Yeah, Catholics (and some other denominations, to be fair) go through some pretty creative mental gymnastics to justify their position on abortion
