I had to read that multiple times - my first reading was 97% of the time, when users of X called for violence, X chose not to respond to the calls by committing the requested violence.

From the way they are acting, they clearly don’t seriously think there will ever be a chance of them losing power, so they probably will go for it.
Of course, they’re probably also fully aware that if the Democrats ever DO regain power, they will trip all over themselves to “let bygones be bygones” and restore the filibuster for the Republicans to use.
mriguyto politics •Trump threatens to cut off New York City funds if Mamdani ‘doesn’t behave’13·9 months agoThat’s the same threat he’s made to every state, city and institution. Do exactly what I tell you too or I’ll use the power of the federal government (unrestrained by congress or the courts) to crush you. So, what he’s implicitly saying to any mayor.
So there is literally no point to paying attention to what he’s saying - he’s going to do it regardless.
Yeah, so far no stoppers that I’ve found. I generally like the look but I think as the betas progress they’re probably going to dial down some of the transparency - the notifications on my Lock Screen and the control center icons are very hard to read because I have a kind of busy background picture.
Definitely stealing that phrase!

No it isn’t and it never was. That was the excuse they used to cover their gun fetish. They always saw themselves as the shock troops of the authoritarian takeover, and the fact that they are delighted it’s happening is confirmation.
Sure, they could, and probably should. But evidence suggests they won’t. So what’s the point of them spying on him? They’ll collect a bunch of information and do nothing about it.
But you can be sure that the spy agencies are watching him. He’s already too powerful for comfort, and it’s their job to spy on people like him.
And do what? It was very clear that if Trump got elected he’d take a wrecking ball to the country that we will probably never recover from, at the behest of a hostile foreign leader he’s been openly conspiring with for decades. What exactly did they did to stop him?
Looks like they may need to destroy a few more government agencies that collect and distribute labor statistics. That will solve it.
My wife was sure Musk wouldn’t make it past March.
“When the elephants fight, the grass is crushed. When the elephants make love, the grass is crushed.”
Somebody has to dare him to prove it, and maybe he’ll show how he rigged the voting counts in the swing states.
I just went to a conference in Hawaii, which is usually a very popular, but half the poster boards were bare. I saw multiple recorded talks because the speakers were denied entry visas, including one of the opening keynote speakers.
Yeah, I think they achieved their goals of crippling the US for the forseable future. Mission accomplished.
