Jfc yikes, vindman suffered quite enough already for doing his duty, his testimony during the impeachment trials was clear, well articulated, and not inflamatory. He said he trusted America to have his back for doing the right thing, too bad more than half of all US voters betrayed that trust.

If I have learnt one thing over the last decade it's that no good deed goes unpunished.

[-] RubberElectrons@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

Nah, for some things it's not left vs right, it's right vs wrong.

“I served in the military for nearly 22 years and my loyalty is to supporting the U.S. Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic. That’s why I reported presidential corruption when I witnessed an effort to steal an election,” he wrote.

“You, Elon, appear to believe you can act with impunity and are attempting to silence your critics. I’m not intimidated,” he added.

What a badass.

Good grief, who the fuck elected Musk for any role whatsoever? Donvict is not even in office and I'm already quite sick of Elon the overly rich dumbass.

I'd like to congratulate terrorism, for winning the war on terror.

I'm 2001 I was concerned about how long "Never Forget" was going to last and it is definitely dead now.

[-] JustZ@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

Russia's attacks on our democracy were worse for America than Vietnam and 9/11 combined.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 1 points 2 years ago

The word you want is fascism.

[-] osaerisxero@kbin.melroy.org 32 points 2 years ago

Yeah, he totally misrepresented Musk in those hearings.

There's nothing 'unwittingly' about it, Musk knows who he's been serving.

[-] distantsounds@lemmy.world 22 points 2 years ago

It’s all projection with these assholes

[-] 800XL@lemmy.world 21 points 2 years ago

Musk needs a good reality check by way of baseball bat to the face.

I'm partial to a FIM-92 Stinger. Gotta send a message that wasteful private jets are abhorrent, as are their passengers.

Off the shelf drones are more cost effective. (Just ask Ukraine)

He flies a lot.

Flights have transponders.

Transponders are tracked and publicly available.

If a bird can knock out an engine on a 747...

[-] 800XL@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

That's why he didn't want his plane whereabouts tracked and posted publicly. He is deathly afraid someone will be there waiting when he lands to have a little conversation with him.

Maybe he'll get his own rooftop boy. I would take a day off to celebrate if it worked.

We are overdue for guillotines. In 2024 our guillotines have bullets not blades

[-] 800XL@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

We are so overdue. These useless rich wastes of space are getting too uppity and comfortable.

I'm just waiting for the inevitable assassination attempts. Can't wait

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

I'll never forget when I saw someone's kid wearing some fucking shirt with donnie's photo op after that assassination attempt. Their parents chose to 1) buy that shirt in a kid's size, in pink for their girl 2) Put her in it 3) Then took her out in public.

/infinite facepalm

This was a kid that was wayyyy below the age of having any fucking clue about any kind of context...anyway, the fact that someone made an attempt on donvict's life only made idiots like this love him all the more and vote for him even harder - and the same idiots are being even more open about their support for donvict as a result.

"Fuck off and die" This isn't the other place

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 12 points 2 years ago

I thought we made presidents out of traitors now 🤷🏻‍♂️

Seems like Plugs has a conflict of interest here.
