The thing that lessens the likelihood of this is not the backstop of the US, but if Putin can’t invade lil’ ole Ukraine, how would he do against the whole of the European portion of NATO? If nothing else, Poland is loaded for Russian Bear.

Yep. It’s the popular majority vote that has me checking the exits. Trump isn’t just some rogue maniac who seized power, he’s a rogue maniac who was voted in by the majority of Americans, not one of whom could claim ignorance about who he is. We The People looked straight into the face of a sociopathic animal and…

Yup, Biden should use his Presidential immunity to save what’s left.

I can see Putin saying to Trump. I will stop the war in Ukraine if you pull out of Europe, you are destabilizing it. All will be good and Trump, who is super gullible with flattery, will do it and then Putin invades former Eastern Block countries like Poland, the Baltics, Moldova, maybe Romania.  

Yep. I know a lot of people who are more intensely considering jumping to another country.

I’m with you, Robot Turds. This is an emergency.

I cannot begin to wrap my head around the beyond fucked up situation we are in. This is going to be a nightmare. The Goebbels wannabe, stephen miller, is already tweeting about quickly implementing parts of 2025- you know- that thing trump had never heard of- in the name of an aggressive denaturalization process. Yes.…

The GOP isn’t pounding the table for drug testing leaders now? Shocking!

Alternate headline:

We’re all so fucked. I can’t believe we have to deal with 4 more years of this bullshit.

First and second gears are why I’m convinced the global auto industry is on borrowed time in its current incarnation. Consumers are sending a pretty clear signal here and none of them are listening.

In SpaceXs case he owns a majority of both stock and voting rights. “Elon Musk is the primary owner of SpaceX, holding about 54% of the equity and controlling 78% of the voting rights.” According to DuckDuckGo assistant. If accurate, the US claiming his share as a national security risk mitigation would be fairly…

He doesn’t control those things; his companies, made of many, many people do. He is as replaceable as anyone.

Excellent idea!

I wouldn’t be surprised, he seems like he would be that unhinged enough to do it if backed to a corner. See, now I would have implemented a back door to where I would drop all the satellites on to Earth at once unless they give me...1 billion dollars ->^_^

The US can force him to sell his satellites and SpaceX. 

Swift and discreet so any damage he inflicts should be minimal

Government takes control of SpaeX and Starlink for “national security”.

Apply the law.  I am so fucking sick of billionaires and celebs and uber rich assholes pulling shit that the rest of us get the book thrown at us for.  He lied on his form?  Pull his citizenship.  He knew he was lying....then his political contributions are illegal.  Prosecute him.

No he won’t. He’s far too rich to actually be punished for such a thing.
