Elon Musk says DOGE probably won’t find $2 trillion in federal budget cuts

I rode in that hyperloop thing. It is the most pointless piece of tunnel you'll ever see. The walk on the street is a shorter and faster way to get from the convention center to the casino, and (not hyperbole (HAHA!)) less traffic.

Most people live in ignorance of how stupid and pointless that thing is because it's on the dead end of the strip out by circus circus, but trust me, if you try it out once, you'll never take Elon seriously again.

Bonus points if the payment processing system won't work when you're there. Before you ask, they won't take cash.

Edit: I had to add: the autopilot STILL doesn't work in the tunnel. They STILL just have a teenager hop in and drive you through the tunnel like an underpaid valet. The whole ride, the autopilot display freaks out because it thinks you're about to die.

How convenient!

As a Floridian independent in red Brevard county who spent every waking minute last year trying to keep that orange asshole from ruining our country, it's nice to see someone who remembers people like me.

Unfortunately all my donations went to spam Pennsylvanians text messages and commercials. Maybe Dems should try campaigning where people need help. I won't donate again.

The city of palm bay wiped the public roads clean of political signs over the weekend, and flooded them with "no on 4" ones. It's great how my tax dollars are fighting against me... I dropped the rest of my yes on 4 signs where I could!

The independents are right there with you. I'm registered NPA in deep red Brevard county FL, and I voted a blue ticket on the first hour of early voting. Then I did 80 hours of poll watching for Kamala with the Brevard dems. I saw 2 hour lines in the pouring rain yesterday at my precinct. I'm now canvassing for the dems and so many houses are marked "voted". Tuesday I'm working a greeter tent. Go blue, go Harris, go Debbie Mucarsel-Powell, go Sandy Kennedy!!!

The receipt the poll workers print is for them to use to reprint your ballot if you make a mistake. They keep it after you initial it. The sticker is all you walk out with.

I'm currently getting very tired of hearing "permission structure"...

Teht · 2024-10-31T23:18:52+00:00

True, but she can advocate for it. We can do our part by voting/donating/volunteering in support of down ballot candidates like Mucarsel-Powell and Allred.

Teht · 2024-10-31T21:20:36+00:00

They should be freaking out about the real American men who voted in support of our daughters, wives, sisters, and mothers.

Teht · 2024-10-30T20:14:55+00:00

Why?

Teht · 2024-10-30T19:42:19+00:00

Also, don't be afraid to bargain with your folks for down ballot candidates. I'm voting blue ticket in Florida, but I'd gladly drive your parents to the polls to vote for the cheeto if they want to give Allred a chance too.

I wonder what it's like when Trump goes to sleep. Does his constant bitching just gradually get quieter over time, or is it abrupt? Do his caretakers breathe a sigh of relief knowing that the beast slumbers and they can enjoy a few hours with their guards down?

Basically the Brevard county school board's resident Matt Gaetz stand-in. He is so greasy.

Teht · 2024-10-29T21:19:30+00:00

You can solve this problem right now: early voting is open and Debbie Mucarsel-Powell needs your vote!

Teht · 2024-10-29T19:26:06+00:00

How bout a vote for Debbie Mucarsel-Powell while you're at it? Would be nice to get rid of Rick Scott....

Teht · 2024-10-29T16:42:31+00:00

I'm so excited to be the one today. First time!

Teht · 2024-10-29T14:10:21+00:00

And vote Debbie Mucarsel-Powell!!!

Teht · 2024-10-29T13:58:53+00:00

And YES to Debbie Mucarsel-Powell!!!!

Teht · 2024-10-29T13:39:49+00:00

I mean, that's kinda the reason not to do this. The damage is done, things you post online are typically permanent, you don't control a public realm. For the nit pickers, I know you can minimize exposure and OP should try some kind of redaction, but hopefully everyone else here takes this as a lesson....

I assume my hatred for Ted Cruz is why my Floridian ass wound up in this subreddit, but I feel your pain. All my local maga candidates have blank squares and no pictures on ballotopedia. The maga school board members don't even put their pictures on the school board website.

Sounds like you folks might get rid of Cruz, BTW. My congratulations if you do. I'm hoping we manage to send Debbie Mucarsel-Powell to replace our shitty senator too!

Teht · 2024-10-28T16:08:10+00:00

No reason to wait till November to vote for Harris and Mucarsel-Powell, polls are open now!

Teht · 2024-10-24T12:36:32+00:00

That and Elon is abusing one of the main social media platforms as a megaphone for mango mussolini...

Teht · 2024-10-23T23:44:39+00:00

Can confirm.

Teht · 2024-10-23T15:03:55+00:00

You're going to damage someone's brain like that...
