    Thanks Obama.

    Seriously, the Obama administration loved this guy even though it was obvious to a lot of us that he was a total grifter. The Starship/Artemus plan made no sense but got selected anyway.

        Musk is a fascist evil villain, not a conservative. He is also not liked much by the conservatives I know.

        One day I want the word conservative to go back to what is used to mean decades ago. Conservative used to not mean whatever is happening now

          Fascism is a conservative ideology.

          Regardless of if you agree with the above, conservatives are supporting Musk and his actions so my original comment stands.

            It’s a very large country dominated by few sources of news that at best, will give an idea about what some of the population is feeling.

            Social media is not much better an indicator. Usually with a very small percentage of people participating who probably don’t fit the demographic of any large group of people.

            More so, opinion polls can be inaccurate at this time because most people don’t reply to spam calls, text or mail.

            In my area most people are not political at all, the people I know who identify as conservative either don’t care, know or support what is happening. Most people I know who identify as not conservative are out of the loop or cynical.

            Regardless, most of either persuasion would regard my comments and this thread as odd. Meanwhile I am sure I can tune into, and read about, how evil liberals or conservatives can be.

            Neither label applies to most. When I grew up, many years ago, conservative to me meant going to church once a week and not robbing banks, and liberals were seen as promoting reading and planting trees.

            People really have not changed that much, but those words certainly did. I miss the old definitions, and am not making any sort of political comment here

              Honestly your perception of the parties back then weren’t accurate either, just sounds like you miss not having to actually pay attention to me. No offense meant, as I too wish I didn’t have our political discourse in my brain 24/7 lol

          It never meant anything good. It was always about oppressing minorities and enriching the owner class.

            What are you talking about? Conservative used to just mean people who wanted to protect and conserve the American way of life and the American political and economic systems… Which oppress minorities and enrich the owner class lol

    And this illegal billionaire will not suffer any repercussions whatsoever. If that was me, I’ll be in prison just by the thought of it.

          No, they don’t. It’s a big club we aren’t in, but billionaires will step on other billionaires if they can make more billions.

          That’s why a lot of the financial industry billionaires keep their mouths shut and their businesses follow the same rule. Having a big mouth is the best way for another billionaire to find a way to profit off of running their mouths.

          The only time “they both win” is if one wins more than they would stepping on the other.
