Musk: "uses N word"

Next sentence: "Buy a Tesla"

Interesting marketing strategy.

I'm going to get blocked by A LOT of pollsters beginning in 2027 because I will assertively point out to them they're completely full of shit.

What could POSSIBLY be a more important issue to the non-voter than keeping a proven authoritarian out of office?

Sometimes the answer is so simple it hurts.

No angle at all.

You made a very reasonable statement.

I pointed out our last POTUS candidate, who I felt was *GENERATIONAL* carried the very message you suggested. We got swept.

So, was the message wrong? Was the candidate wrong? Or is America's bigotry and sexism insurmountable?

11.8 million people is a heavy lift...but it can be done.

Harris touted all of these things.

Was the fact she was a woman mute the message?

Anybody who says history won't see this schmuck as a TREMENDOUSLY consequential Speaker is playing themselves.

He knows the assignment. He executes it shamelessly and flawlessly. And he's winning.

Quit trying to make him crack. He won't.

Jamie Harrision's entire strategy was "Go kill 'em with kindness!"

He was totally effing inept. A total failure. He had no idea how to combat Trump.

In 100 days Harris couldn't form a campaign independently...she relied on the DNC infestructure...which it turns out was nil.

Failure all around.

This is terrific.

DesertYETI @desertyeti.bsky.social · 3h

Better late than Trump

DesertYETI @desertyeti.bsky.social · 3h

Harris said ALL of those things.

MILLIONS of Biden voters stayed home and pouted because in a 100 day last-minute campaign she didn't discuss "their issues".

This is all our fault...and we are, I fear, about to do it again.

I'm afraid the answer is 5) Absolutely nothing

He'll get out and still have all that money.

He'll live in luxary.

He'll probably live long.

Disgusting.

Trump doubles the bailout to Argentina, now $40 billion, and Argentina takes all China’s soybean orders away from our American farmers - 7 million tons. Was it Argentina first?

I really don't think there are enough "swing voters" anymore to have a numerical effect on an election.

There are 3 voting blocks:
1) Democrat
2) Republican
3) Non-Voters

We need to get all the Democrats and non-voters. That's the goal.

Most non-voters are on our side...I believe that.

You gotta hand it to Portland...they figured out how to make these jerks look like the absolute DIPSHITS we all knew they were.

Newsom will chew him up and spit him out.

Again.

Mace has apparently decided Congresswomen should look like hookers while Governors should look like moms.

It’s a bold strategy, Cotton.

DesertYETI @desertyeti.bsky.social · 1d

Ahhh yes...the age old difference between "can" and "want"

DesertYETI @desertyeti.bsky.social · 1d

He's DYING to do this because it means he can also cancel elections in those cities/states.

DesertYETI @desertyeti.bsky.social · 2d

I'm not sure about secession, but I agree he's looking for an angle to kill elections. I've been assured that can't happen (states run elections, etc. etc.) but with nobody checking his power he'll find a way if there is one.
