Harris Vs Trump 2024 US Presidential election - read the warning in the OP posted 18/09/24

Elon Musk didn’t give away a million dollars yesterday after the DOJ reminded him uhm buying votes is super duper illegal.

Legal Eagle has a video about that crime on his channel today that was produced before the DOJ gave the reminder, but it appears Musk has suspended his “lottery” now, and the DOJ might have opened an investigation.

That’s not the only crime Musk is likely up to though: Opensecrets reports Musk is also funding a dark money PAC that is deepfaking alternate versions of Kamala Harris campaign websites and sending texts out to targeted voters impersonating the Harris campaign and directing them to sites that purport to be legitimate campaign sites, but aren’t, and ascribe policy positions to Harris that are completely bogus and attempt to feed into right wing conspiracy theories.

those are federal crimes as well, and if convicted Elon may well have stupided himself into a lengthy federal prison sentence in addition to permanently losing his right to vote for committing election crimes.

He was found in a civil court to be liable for sexual assault.

He has 34 felony convictions.

He was found liable for defamation.

He incited a riot on Jan 6 and refused, for the first time in recent American history, the peaceful transfer of power.

He committed adultery.

He said he wanted army generals like Hitler's.

He was found guilty of fraud.

His own former chief of staff called him a fascist.

He said himself he would be dictator on day one.

He said tonight if he got into power, he would fire the independent special counsel within 2 minutes.

All of those are independently verified facts.

If RTE or anyone else wants to state them out loud, they can and should.

"But they didn't criticise Harris"

What on earth has she done that would in any way shape or form make her anywhere near the basement level of Trump?

What criticism should be levelled at here when her opponent is objectively that bloody brutal?

Donald Trump aggressively promoted a baseless conspiracy theory about the 2020 election and incited an attack on the US Capitol to overturn the result, despite it being completely fair.

The only reason that he wasn't president this last four years is not down to his respect for the democratic process (which he doesn't possess) and everything to do with enough people in positions of power to affect the election faithfully enacting their duties instead of listening to Trump's petty, bitter demands.

Trump (or more correctly, his backers) would certainly end free and fair elections if given the ability. It would once again come down to enough people putting country above party to stop, which I am considerably less confident of happening, given the ideological purge of the Republican party as well as Trump's likelihood to staff his second administration with MAGA loyalists, top to bottom.

A handy referral then for future reference. Copy and paste instead of typing it all out each time 😁

Some of his supporters would need pictures drawn by crayon in fairness, like their dear leader

WSJ now reports Elon Musk has been in regular contact with Vladimir Putin since 2022, the same year he purchased Twitter and turned it into a cesspit.

I’m shocked, shocked! Well, actually not that shocked.

Among the reporting Musk has held back from rolling out Starlink to Taiwan on the day so of Putin, as a ‘favor’ to the Chinese Communist Party.

It seems likely that taking control of Twitter and turning it into a place where right wing conspiracies and election disinformation can flourish were at a minimum aligned with Russias purposes for keeping Americans divided, especially over the Ukraine war. In addition to the reporting about his fake Harris websites and his criminal vote buying and influence scheme it’s hard to argue that Elon isn’t wittingly or unwittingly a Russian asset (and likely the former). Remember early on in the war when he cut Ukraine off from Starlink because they were being effective with it?

Elon might not be a free man for very long. We’ll see.

"Or will he be dropped like a hot potato?"

Are you kidding me? Mike Flynn, Don Jnr, Paul Manafort and Trump himself of course are besties with the Russians. I'd bet very surprised if trump didn't know already!

"None of this fascist thing was evident".

Yes. Yes it was. You're either choosing to ignore it, or you are ill informed.

Either way, "I'd usually listen to people who know about these things", so I won't be taking your advice.

Before we get into that...

Would you have a problem if trump displayed fascist actions?

Once you say you would have a problem with that, I'll answer your question.

I ask a simple and relevant question.

You won't answer it...

And yet *I* am not grown up enough?

Hilarious.

So, another criminal (in the eyes of the Vatican) endorsing the criminal's favorite candidate? No news there.

The dwindling numbers of ultrareligious RCC'ers in the US weren't Harris supporters in the first place.

I always get uneasy in a close election when any religious nut job like this guy opens their mouth - and given the fact that who the hell knows what influences swing state voters, there’s always a possibility of a few more thousand undecided voters heading towards Trump .

I’m not over emphasising the significance of this or him as an influencer, but considering whilst on one hand we had Muslim faith leaders publically support Harris at the start of October yet still, reports came through since of Muslim voters siding with Trump, it’s not particularly helpful let’s say, to the Harris campaign right now - who knows how close this election will be
