I guess a few agents get to slack off for a while rather than actually work. I know if I were in their position, I'd just be "following up on possible leads" for a while.

Honestly, for an FBI agent, it's insulting to be asked to do special monitoring for an unelected official's private business. They have more important things to do.

And hasn't fElon already gone back to "save" the company, so he's not even at DOGE anymore?

If terrorism now means burning cars, what's the word for killing people to terrorize?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

Depends on how much you pay the president beforehand.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 day ago

Tis a silly fascist country

[–] [email protected] 211 points 2 days ago (2 children)

That seems like a huge inefficiency, DOGE should eliminate it.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 2 days ago

Uh oh, it sounds like they want us to be inclusive of all cars.

The domestic terrorist is in the White House.

Don't be ridiculous. As the Commander in Chief of the United States he's also an international terrorist

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago

“both foreign and domestic” i guess is the repurposed phrase aye?

The police are there to protect the business interests of the richest man in the world.

They call regular people “terrorists” for daring to stand up to fascism in any small way.

They start a manhunt for the murder of the CEO of a health insurance company while ignoring the murders of countless regular people every day.

Private property is protected, while it’s been made illegal to be homeless.

What a sick and decrepit society.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago

Police aren't here for for the common citizen, they're for sale to the highest bidder like everything else in this shit hole of United States of Capitalism. Fuck the police. ACAB.

SVU, special tesla victim unit. dundun.

What a bunch of clowns.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago

"In the criminal justice system, offenses involving Tesla's are considered especially heinous."

[–] [email protected] 147 points 2 days ago (2 children)

This really does illustrate the idea that police aren’t there to “serve and protect.” They are there to keep the common people in line so that the rich can stay safe.

[–] [email protected] 74 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Mask off moment. Their purpose is to protect capital. The only crimes that cops prevent are through deterrence because they are crime punishers, not crime preventers.

Good! We're FINALLY Solving REAL PROBLEMS!

-This is LITERALLY What Conservatives think while CHILDREN ARE GUNNED DOWN IN SCHOOL, SHELVES ARE EMPTY OF GOODS, 401KS TANK AND ICE IS ALLOWED TO ENTER HOMES AND DEPORT PEOPLE WITHOUT WARRANTS OR CAUSE!

Is it illegal to Nelson laugh while pointing at swasticar enjoyers and calling them dorks?

No? Then this is all a waste of time. I shall continue doing so unabated.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 day ago

These days you don't need to be committing a crime to get arrested. You just need to be annoying the wrong people.

Getting rid of the dept of ed, cracking down on tesla keying.

“A task force”

I knew Daredevil Born Again was going to touch on some of the same issues, but holy crap it predicted the future.

I thought Elon was behind this since Tesla's aren't selling well. They should start from there.

There’s a website to track elons plane.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

What he gets really irritated about is the fact that you have to file a flight plan and that flight plan has to be public, because obviously otherwise it wouldn't work.

So anyone at any time can track his plane, and no matter how rich he is, there is fuck all he can do about it

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He could just take another form of transportation. There is no public records of cars driven or train tickets purchased.

He could even fly with normal airlines so there would be no public record of his flight.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Or.. he could take one of his self driving cars.

Different article, but the picture just makes me so happy:

we didn't start the fire

[–] [email protected] 39 points 2 days ago (2 children)

If you set it on fire it makes a rainbow. There’s something profound in that.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

You remember the video where someone filmed the rainbows a sprinkler made in the sun, and claimed it was proof that "they" are poisoning our water?

Terrorism is scaring/harming people to manipulate government.

Tesla is neither government nor their property damage is scaring people.

More trumped-up charges.

(It is hilariously fitting Trump the man and Trump the word fit so gand-in-hand)
