Another win for Biden and the Dems, yet another loss for Republicans and McCarthy. More Dems voted for the Bill than Republicans, showing Biden beat McCarthy at negotiating.

President Joe Biden's National Institutes of Health has resumed a grant award suspended under former President Donald Trump for coronavirus bat research to a U.S. nonprofit group that has come under heightened scrutiny for partnering with the Wuhan Institute of Virology in Wuhan, China.

It's a disgrace that a majority of Americans hate the bill but dems passed it. Democrats would vote for a yellow dog next year, that is what makes it harder for GOP. The dems could kill someone and they'd still get tons of votes and stick together. This bill wasn't liked by Republicans but since they are in majority it should not have passed until being revised. Even, so DeSantis could change things next year and get moderate dems to vote for him. Vote GOP 2024 for Real Change!

The only hooligan and crazy enough to say that insanity was Trump. And still, he got tons of votes...
That's the level of trumpers, I mean republicans, nowadays.

Trump: I could ‘shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose voters’​

unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion

Trump tried hard, but thankfully the Justice and the people in positions of power didn't fall for his attempts to subvert the power of the people (to subvert a democratic election result) and to become a dictator, since that's what Trump would really like to be. In fact, he recently called to terminate the US Constitution to keep the power like a true dictator.
And yet, after every insanity from this wannabe dictator, there are still people willing to vote for this threat to the US and to the world stability.

However, in the house and senate GOP don't always vote together. The dems vote together on 99% of the bills. Republican's think for themselves dems follow each other like obedient sheep. The only exception really has been Joe Manchin in the senate he sometimes thinks for himself. But since the dems have 51 seats + 1 more vote because of Harris they don't need Manchins vote plus he will probably lose to GOP senate candidate next year.

If Biden would have lost in 2020 (although he did cheat to win), dems probably would have figured out a way to blame Russia like they did for 4 years when Trump was in office.

I wonder who he votes for next election. Though I doubt there are many conservatives left in SF or Sacramento.

That is pure conjecture... the reality is: when Trump attempted to subvert the democratic process, undermine national institutions and destroy the environment, corporate business leaders who previously supported Trump formed an alliance with left-wing activists. The pact was formalized in a joint statement of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and AFL-CIO published on Election Day. Secondly, according to PEW Research, voters who previously voted for a third-party (ie. Greens/Libertarians) consolidated their vote in favour of the Democrats.

Trump won the election by a lot only legal votes should be counted. States should release the voter rolls so we can investigate why Trump was ahead for 3 days and lost states on 4th day. It's a very crooked process when the dems cheat like they did in 2020.

The claim is based on past history not conjecture.

I think most of the claims about fraudulent votes were fabricated. BUT.. there was a lot of cheating through mail in ballots and ballot harvesting.

Social media companies conspired together ( a conspiracy ) to limit the reach of conservatives and Trump supporters. I suspect the cheated by limiting the reach of paid advertising also.

The legal shenanigans of DNC lawyers and corrupt democrat judges changed voting laws, illegally. Even to the point of arguing for and against the same laws in blue and red counties.

Trump didn't encourage anyone to enter the Capital bldg... the FBI did that.

Whatever Blue Checks Elon has, it could only go downhill from here.

First, supporting DeSantis over Trump, going to lose some there.

Those on the right complaining about censorship again.

Some anti-gay movie from Daily Wire apparently was agreed to by Elon, now he changed his mind so they're going to try to show it at 8pm tonight. Many saying if Elon doesn't let it play, they won't be paying for their blue check anymore.

Daily Wire CEO:

"We plan to post the movie anyway tonight at 8:00 pm eastern. Will Twitter make good on their threat to throttle it and label it "hateful conduct," or will Twitter live up to its great promise?"

Marjorie Taylor Greene taking a hit, hate to see it.

Marjorie Taylor Greene Faces Insurrection From 'Real MAGA'​

"Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's decision to vote in support of the debt ceiling deal on Wednesday has been harshly criticized by her former ally Steve Bannon, who called on the Georgia Republican to be challenged in the next party's primary."

No way you people can take Elon Musk down , he is far to smart for you.

 

[JB Lions]

No way you people can take Elon Musk down , he is far to smart for you.

A smart person wouldn't have paid for $44 billion for a sinking ship.

Blue Checks have already peaked. Again, it can only go down because:
1. supporting Desantis, will lose some Trumper blue checks
2. putting in a new CEO who is more apt to restrict/censor content, see last post
3. most people will realize it's just not worth the money, it was a new thing everybody jumped on

Then, a little reality check

Twitter only worth 33% of what Musk-led investors paid, Fidelity says​

https://www.axios.com/2023/05/31/twitter-worth-third-elon-musk-purchase-price-fidelity

Twitter’s value has plunged 66% under Elon Musk’s erratic leadership, costing him billions of dollars on paper​

https://fortune.com/2023/05/30/twitter-value-plunged-elon-musk/

--------------
Then we have the guy who started Twitter, Dorsey with Bluesky. When that opens all the way up to the public, Twitter will take yet another big hit.

He screwed up when he went MAGA, he'll learn the hard way.

twitter is just a small asset to Elon , the other fish Musk are frying are his big assets. twitter is simply fun time to him.

Elon knows how to play this game. he is much smarter than the people he is playing against, he has allies that are in extremely high places that are very powerful people.

The second most wealthy person on this planet

Twitter simply wasn't worth $44 billion. But it's under Elon when it's really sinking.

I wonder what's the biggest fiasco, or the most expensive one, of all times.
I think it's between Mark's Second Life 2.0 fiasco and Elon's flushing down the toilet $44 billion just to restore Trump's Twitter account. I guess the second one wins. Because it wasn't even useful for that.

Now, to round off the fiasco, buy Twitter being a right-winger pro-trumper, and it won't take too much to realize you have really flushed down the toiled $44 billion to strike down a social media in record time.
Genius movement by Elon no doubt

 

[Sutruk]

Don't make me laugh please.... $44 billion a small asset?
He didn't even have that amount to buy Twitter, he needed to ask for partners to fund the purchase...

And all for nothing, because the main goal of flushing down the toilet $44 billion wasn't even accomplished, as Trump hasn't restored yet his Twitter account

 

[Sutruk]

Joe falling over his feet today

I prefer a president falling over his feet from time to time, than a wannabe dictator calling to terminate the US Constitution, trying to subvert the will of the people by false claims and lies about election results, asking to "find 11,000 votes" to overturn a free democratic election and inciting a Capitol Attack to block a democratic electoral process.

In summary, I prefer Biden at 100 yo than a Putin's puppet willing to destroy the US democracy, the US western alliances and the free world values just to "Make Russia Great Again".

it's his hobby lol... And Elon won't lose, Elon never loses.

So, ok, here is a look at what could be, that if all you Leftist , left twitter, which you won't , but this.. a 50/50 divided country of 330 million people . if all of you were to quit.. 160 million Americans stay . Twitter will roll right on with a problem.
