A group funded by billionaire Elon Musk is offering Wisconsin voters $100 to sign a petition in opposition to “activist judges,” a move that comes two weeks before the state’s Supreme Court election and after the political action committee made a similar proposal last year in battleground states.
Sure I’ll sign a petition against Clarence Thomas and Brett Kavanagh
Wait, not like that?
“They’re paid crisis actors”

Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both; and if the violation was willful, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than two years, or both.
1-2 years in prison max. And it’s never gonna happen because pardons and all that.
Held accountable by whom though?

I’m sorry okay, that kid keeps getting in the way.
I feel so bad for that kid :(
If/when it survives and is older it’ll look back and totally know it’s POS narcissistic father was simply using him as a meat shield. That’s so fucked up.
It saddens me that half the country (including my parents) is so far up his ass that they think this is okay.
I have cut all Trumpers, friends and family, out of my personal life. I have to say, after the initial drama subsided it’s been much more peaceful.
Depends on how many were in your life to begin with. My parents were the only ones I still associated with until a month or so ago, and it’s been pretty awful if I’m going to be honest.
That’s because that isn’t a healthy thing to do in the first place. These people are essentially drowning and cutting them out of your life indiscriminately is like speeding away in a boat while you hope they manage to float to an island.
Having a tough conversation with them about your honest concerns is the only way to fix what people have become. It’s okay to tell them that their lack of empathy is making you feel sad/depressed. Don’t just tell them that they’re wrong and need to change their mind. Pick a specific thing they support and tell them what’s making you feel upset and let them ruminate on that. Only they can change their minds, so hopefully they view you as a close enough friend to reconsider their actions or beliefs.
If this isn’t already illegal, it should be…
What pisses me off is that search algorithms are so broken now that if I do a search on the legality of petition bribery, all I get is more news articles about Musk bribing people! Which, I guess, is pretty telling in and of itself…
It’s only illegal for you and me.
Elon literally committed election fraud. Openly. With a fucking press conference.
Hasn’t been charged.
He’s also balls deep in a government that is obsessed with deporting immigrants.
Elon himself was an undocumented immigrant for years, as he violated the terms of and overstayed his student visa.
Genuine question though. If the ultra wealthy use loans against their stocks for cash, does this not violate the terms of one of or all of the loans he uses?
The last time I got a personal loan from my bank, it stipulated that use of the money for any illegal purposes would result in the immediate termination of my loan. Does any financial institution have the balls to enforce this boilerplate clause in elons case?
It is definitely illegal. It will definitely not be prosecuted.
Pardoned so fast it would make your head spin. What law?
“Illegal”… hm… now that’s a word I haven’t heard for a long time.
At this point, you gotta use AI that can search the web to shovel through the crap. Weird time to be alive from every angle.
What the fuck is an activist judge? A judge that follows the law?
Activist Judge = “someone who won’t do what we want”

Need to either organize so you and your closest 50,000 friends can march up to wherever he’s living, or go the stochastic route and hope some random person decides to rid you of this meddlesome priest.
Organizing is probably better overall, but harder.
Hes in the White House and never leaves the fucking place.
Not without his tactical bullet sponge of a kid.
where else is he going to do is ketamine and cocaine binges.
this isn’t about “buying” votes… this is about attaining information on voter trends and then adding votes virtually as was done in the 2024 elections. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJR5uQpweko Spoonamore has been pointing this out since Trump got in office. Where is the outrage/ investigation?
It’s all bribery and corruption with these people who already have more than enough money for many, many lifetimes. No end to their greed and scumbaggery.
