It’s gross to fantasize about political prosecutions of Musk. It’s also gross to pursue meritless prosecutions of Trump’s enemies like James Comey (even though he also politicized the investigation of Trump). Our republic needs a ceasefire. Could one grown up just say, “Enough!”
The Bulwark crew is absolutely ecstatic over the idea of investigations and prosecutions of Elon Musk.
Can barely contain themselves:
"He has a body count like a f*cking war criminal. We start with the US Congress and it ends at The Hague for Elon Musk."
"You've got $1 trillion, asshole. Start spending it on lawyers."
"You don't hate him nearly enough."
"There has been a series of meetings among House Democrats. Do you know what they're doing? Yes. They're carving up jurisdictions for who is going to Subpoena him to testify before which of them and for what."
"Get a townhouse, big guy. Got a lot of nice brownstones right there by Capitol Hill."
"Elon! You motherf*cker! You better pack a lunch cause your ass is gonna be living in the Capitol starting January of 2027."
"I feel like my guys, Robert Garcia and Jamie Raskin are f*cking ready. They're loaded for bear."
Same kind of people that've cried endlessly about the weaponization of justice are absolutely salivating over the idea of weaponizing justice against their political opposition.

Exactly. Obama is there to boost support a candidate has with black voters, not create support amongst black voters with a candidate lacking connection. Him coming out for Haley compared to Abdul are two very different scenarios.

Putting aside all the other nasty and disturbing elements of this video, I’m continually stunned by how effortlessly El-Sayed lies. It comes as naturally to him as breathing.
He didn’t vote for Kamala Harris in the last presidential primary because she wasn’t running! And Abdul himself was helping the Uncommitted movement organize opposition to the Biden-Harris ticket.
WOW this exchange.
@BretBaier tried to give Abdul El-Sayed a chance to finally explain the 2012 letter in support of the Muslim Brotherhood and Abdul awkwardly tries to speak over him.
This flailing defensiveness is why we’re on week 3 on this issue.

Abdul El-Sayed celebrates being endorsed by Tucker Carlson, who platforms known white supremacist and Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes.
Abdul. Tucker. Hasan. Fuentes.
They’re all the same. Anti-Black. Antisemitic. Anti-American. Too extreme for Michigan.
“Let’s not become what we fight against.”
“hurt people hurt people” is no different than “very fine people on both sides” #leaveitblank Let’s not become what we fight against.

Are you one of the many Democrats voting for Mike Rogers? Make a video about why you’re supporting Mike Rogers and send it to us!
Together we’re going to defeat Abdul El-Sayed.
Here’s the 2020 Sanders campaign on statements by a person who endorsed El-Sayed: “These statements are dangerous, hateful, and violate the principles of our movement, which is based on values of equality and dignity for all people.” 🙃

Bernie Sanders was a guest on the Detroit News Political Insider podcast today.
Sanders said he sees outright racism in some of the attacks against Abdul El-Sayed.

YIKES: Abdul tells a journalist he isn’t interested in talking about his past support for terrorism.
All Abdul wants to do is lie to Michigan voters about his record.

If Palestine became a state, these people would be begging the U.S to pour even more money into their defence, economic development, and social institutions.
This messaging is the biggest con in a long time. They all still support enormous amounts of aid for Gaza and the West Bank. They simply don't want Jews to be safe and prosperous in the region. With part of that goal being accomplished by making it difficult to be jewish anywhere.
New @RebellionPac ad dropping in Michigan. We have to suffer here at home, so Israel can get all its wars. That’s why they buy politicians like Mike Rogers. He promised to serve Israel “unconditionally,” but never made that promise to you.

Closing argument is more Jew hate and now Michiganders can’t buy bananas because we are paying for the Jews’ bombs and fucking healthcare. He is a completely gross, hateful, disgusting, bigot.

His interviews have become unwatchable. What was once his greatest asset — his ability to communicate — has become a turn off. His conversational style is grating, his delivery increasingly uncomfortable to watch.
