Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

This isn't an deportation level crime. This is "hang for treason" crime.

More like a: "let's see if the peasants care and are willing to do anything about it and worst case, he'll get a pardon" crime.

Elon Musk should be deported to ADX Florence or Guantanamo Bay Detention Camp

Nah. Seize his assets, but make him stay here. Make that Nazi bastard experience life the American Way™ - living paycheck to paycheck at a minimum wage job (cause the moment his net worth guess to zero, his political influence does as well - another trademarked advantage of American living).

Pipe dreams. Billionaires have beat the system. They'll never be on our level, even after "losing" everything.

It sucks. But unless some external force is involved, they'll never ever face repercussions for any of the bad they've ever done. This is the system they've built and designed for themselves.

Ummm...yes? Duh, even??

He'd still be a celebrity, a couple of talk show invitations and he'd be better off than the bar majority of Americans. Not to speak of other opportunities he'd have.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Zero assets? Yeah, I really doubt that. He's not smart. And his popularity? You think any of these sociopaths in power actually like each other? Not a chance.

The moment there's no chance of material gain by sucking up to him, he'd be tossed aside.

I really wish we'd stop hero worshipping the most worthless fools amongst us.

So here in Italy a few days ago, a small mountain town got invaded by 10000 people because a random tiktok influencer posted that she was there skiing.

Never underestimate people's stupidity and attraction to celebrities.

Oh, I love that idea. Actually, first give him some time, where he gets to work for less than minimum wage at a totally shit job.

Then release him, with the criminal record. See how he does....

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 hours ago

I really don't think it'll work. Americans absolutely love their celebrities. Elon musk will never be poor, people will just give him money for existing.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 13 hours ago

Heh. I see what you did there...

Debone Elon Musk

Deport Elon Musk back to hell

I'm 100% okay with using tax dollars to strap this fuckface to a rocket launching him at Mars

[–] [email protected] 3 points 15 hours ago

I was thinking of making bumper stickers for that. But someone already even has the domain for that....
