Sad thing is that this needs a quick response, and that's not happening.

Funny they don't train cops to stop rich people crime that needs quick responses, just poor people crime that needs quick responses.
The people who "support law enforcement" also want to defund the IRS and other regulatory agencies.
It's why wage theft is the most rampant, unenforced crime in America.
It will take weeks to move forward, by then the election is over and certified by the House. Musk gets what he wants, justice isn't done in time, and even if it gets to the courts, the courts are bought and sold to the highest bidder on lawyers.
Laws are for poor people.
Exactly the same way he killed public transportation initiatives with his hyperloop puffery, only to never deliver anything.
Of course, still no public transportation. But hey, he sold some Teslas.
He's a garden variety con man, on a grander stage.
Seems like they are operating in now or never mode. Amy crime committed won't matter if trump wins. Looks like we didn't place any meaningful deterrent for things we learned in 2016 and 2020.
Let's be real, it might not matter either way.
Do you see the DoJ putting Leon in jail in the next decade, even if Harris wins?
As long as DOJ would serve an indictment that would be a huge win.
He is currently ignoring subpoenas from an SEC case and has faced exactly zero consequences.
Isn’t this an illegal sweepstakes?
Which is a felony? Federal crime?
Honestly lets class it under whatever will let me see musk fed to a pack of pissed off racoons.
Merrick Garland asleep at the wheel as usual
Man I wish he would just... do something? Anything? Trump is running without issue despite being a criminal. Several fascists are colluding and acting if they win or lose.
And yet the Department of Justice's head is doing fucking nothing to these people! Does he want America to die?
Between Merrick Garland and John Roberts history is going to look back as this is a period of extreme corruption. Not since the late 1800s has America had this kind of blatant and exposed corruption, which is fitting because that's the exact period of time Donald Trump in his ilk want to return America to.
Just donated an extra $500 to the Harris campaign.
I know it's a drop in the bucket compared to the $75 mil Musk is pumping into Trumps campaign but given I'm nowhere near a swing state I don't know if there's much else I can do to combat this.
Making sure all of your friends and family have a voting plan and offering transportation to polls is probably a better way to help.
No friends and all my family votes early by mail. Done.
I'll sign the petition for $1 million. Since voting is confidential I definitely won't vote for Harris anyways.
They're going to use that petition as proof that Kamala stole the election. So... maybe don't?
I wouldn't want my name on that garbage.
No. These people absolutely hate it when nobody plays their games. Mocking them and not getting involved is what pushes their buttons.
Good for Josh Shapiro, because Elon Musk needs to be investigated and possibly jailed with all his money given to charity.
2 months from now: so-and-so government official says we need to investigate the people investigating Musk. He also put out a crowdsource call to find a bank that could cash a billion-dollar check.
Maybe someday fascist dipshits like Musk will face punishment beyond mean words on Twitter. That won't happen but a man can dream.
Not all Shapiros are created equal.
Putin paying reeellll close attention now...
Putin already has what Trump wants: lists of people who voted against him.
Am I the only one who doesn't see a less buff John Cena in that photo?
