Elon Musk digs his multibillion dollar hole deeper.
“Following the US presidential election, Swifties, the name for Taylor Swift’s fans, are fleeing X for Bluesky. X’s owner, billionaire Elon Musk, was one of Donald Trump’s biggest backers, funneling over $100 million into the Trump-supporting America PAC; stumping for the candidate on the campaign trail; and boosting Trump’s messaging on X.”
Bots rage tweeting other bots.
Maybe it will go under.

Republicans are about lowering wages and cutting jobs.
People need to understand this: stocks go UP when companies lay people off. It makes rich people RICHER.
There is no logical or economic reason for companies to increase wages. A business wants LOWER wages at the bottom.
That means The Valley is NOT going to see wages increase.
“It’s the economy, stupid.” Is correct—but Trump didn’t make the economy better.
Under Trump we LOST 2.7 million jobs.
@damselfly59 truth !!

First Take:
1, 2, 3 and 4: We should have never attacked and taken down Biden. It was a HUGE mistake on our part.
1. America is a sexist country.
2. America is a racist country.
3. Christian nationalists and many everyday Christians would have had more trouble attacking a Catholic.
4. Biden is a sly old dog. We should have rallied, covered for him. Whatever we needed to do.
5. The economy isn't the top (non billionaire) earners, the stock market, the interest rate. It's food, roof, and cars.

@TrueBloodNet No one is acting like illegal immigration is "fine". It's not a lax attitude so much an attempt to humanely manage an ongoing logistical nightmare.
The judicial process that determines who is legal is backlogged for years. The average border crosser gets a court date 6-8 months after being arraigned, and even then the immigration hearing lasts 15 minutes and is done in batches.
We either fund and staff those courts better or end up depriving people of their due process rights.
@BillyBones @QueenOfEverything I also find it strange.

I'm still trying to get my head around the fact that the electoral count happened so quickly when it usually takes days (especially with tons of mail-in votes) and that #FelonDon didn't come out early to claim victory last night. Not to mention the multitude of foreign bomb-threats that only happened in Dem strongholds.
With that said, this is puzzling me even more:
@JanetZumba_FalPals @singlemaltgirl I didn’t sleep last night and I can’t sleep now , it is stressful.
@MLClark @Minholkin I know that feeling, these are dark times.

Post-election UPDATE from Brian Tyler Cohen https://youtu.be/-XGlZcV26-8
@MLClark @Minholkin I completely understand you , I don’t know what to feel .
@Tee_Lynn @CinnamonGirlE @kel and the worse part is that the ones promoting that hatred are Christians !! They don’t behave like Jesus at all , they are hypocrites.
@Tee_Lynn @CinnamonGirlE @kel this is not looking good, that is just the beginning, it is insane to think that Elon Musk will be part of the government, and Stephen Miller most likely chief of staff, they are going to destroy the country, and we deserve it .
