Did he not have a clue about what he actually said there?

He thinks it's Joe Biden's Titanic, I'm sure

But yes, he's clueless. His Dear Leader has been ruin..er, running the place a few years now.

What a tool..

World". America recovered after 2020 BECAUSE of Biden's leadership and hard choices made to get out of the worst of the pandemic. Part of that was the money sent to people who couldn't work to keep us all going and to get people back to work safely.

That caused some inflation, sure, but it saved this country and many people who had no savings.

Vance and his lunatic boss seem to have forgotten that.

In a world where you can be anything, choose to be kind.

The Titanic sank. A fact lost on Vance and felon

When I hear people say "Biden" like felon and they do, I shut them down by no longer listening to them.

We came out of a serious pandemic. Immediately corporate greed moved to make up losses suffered during the pandemic. That was them, not Biden.

President Biden implemented plans for every American to be vaccinated, which turned a potential SARS killer into something people had a fighting chance to survive.

He got Congress to pass a major infrastructure bill that to this day is still paying for highway, road and bridge construction projects all over America. Those industries stimulated support for satellite businesses of restaurants, entertainment, and major retail in every American city.

Once back on track, the briefly high inflation rate calmed down a lot.

The highest gas cost during Biden's presidency was about $3.10 per gallon. Locally gas is $4.85 per gallon now for the cheapest lowest octane. Premium is $5.15 per gallon. Diesel is $7.29 per gallon. People who blame Biden for this truly might confuse Dan Sullivan for Dan Sullivan. Felon may be right. They don't know what incumbent means.

We can't sustain these costs. They are where they were in Sept 2008 when under Bush II the Great Recession began.

Obama intervened with "Stimulus" and other bills that increased spending temporarily and then scaled that back. His policy stopt the recession from developing into a global depression, and for that he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Of course Vance, felon and MAGA choose to be ignorant of that.

Just as the Bush II administration excluded gas, food, and housing from the inflation index in order to make it appear much lower than it was, the same practice is done now under Licknut and Bessent. We're headed for a major correction. Recession or worse. That's why felon wants a democrat to follow him. Somebody to blame for the recession or worse.

We have to get Musk, felon, Vance, Vought and Miller away from the reigns of power, and pronto. Put them all in jail if necessary. Then clean up the SS and repeal Citizens United. And regulate AI...

Musk may be assassinated

He is the world's richest man because of our Military Industrial Complex. it is mostly our government defense contracts with him that account for most all of his space empire, from Space X to Starlink.

We should nationalize all of it, because power of that magnitude should NEVER be entrusted to a single person. Musk is no saint either. He appears to be a womanizer as bad or worse than the felon. He brags he fathered N children with X women. N and X are ever increasing variables. X is still single digits, but N is well into the teens, and that's only what is known.

He was not even born in this country...

but has citizenship in three countries... I believe with S Africa, US, and Canada.

He is just bad news. If he had been born here, he'd be even worse. Rich people should not be above the law, no matter who you are, but it's a big mess with him because of what all he controls and owns. It has to stop. Prosecute and confiscate. Congress needs to start doing their job, before the bad actors find a way to manipulate or stop elections altogether and bring down our entire democracy and Constitution. But they have to prioritize what actions to take first to stop our quickening descent into chaos, crime, corruption and cruelty.

The GOP wants his $$$ so they won't do a dawned thing about him

It's going to be up to the DEMs to figure it out to defang and defund him.

Agreed

I know other countries that allow dual citizenship require ONE country residency for the right to vote. That is not so in the United States, and imo must be addressed. Musk's prime residence is South Africa, which is his birth country. He should not be allowed to interfere or participate in American elections. No one with a dual citizenship should.

You know he does this for Republicans because they're his corporate cash cow to the Military Industrial Complex teat, and consequently his vast wealth.

Citizen's United must be repealed. That allowed Musk to flood Texas with about $250 million in support of Ken Paxton.
I am getting phone ads from Ken Paxton!

Possibly, however no one should WISH for that. I doubt it would be for

how many offspring he has since each woman has been more than willing to oblige. Plus, can afford and he pays support for all but his trans-daughter who he has "disowned" due to her rejection of him. Having lousy ethics and morals is seldom anyone's trigger to attack ( pun intended).

That said, I totally agree that Skum MUST lose control over both Space X and the military version of Starlink! No one man should have power over the world with those things. He has power over entire countries and interfered in Ukraine, causing dozens of deaths!

I'm not sure that the government should nationalize them. Taking his companies and investments doesn't seem fair even though he's such SKUM. CHARGE him with crimes instead.

Instead of the government making him so ultra rich, our $$$ should go to developing government owned satellites and space programs that don't need his. We have the capability, just not the will to do it since his are already tested.

THAT would be fair. Take away the government payouts to him to build our own and he will go back to just being some rich guy with zero power over us.

Ditto Zuckerberg, who has interfered in multiple elections by eliminating active, political accounts of candidates both in the US and in Brazil, just this week!! Trying to unduly influence elections is illegal, yet he did it more than once this week.

In a world where you can be anything, choose to be kind.

I read a piece recently that said he would likely be assassinated

Don't really remember where. Went in and out. I don't really care.

Holding him accountable is certainly preferable. But wealth has proven to be an effective deterrent to justice and accountability, and he has resources to fight that for the rest of his life with no accountability and complete total freedom to do what he wants.

His enrichment came from contracts with the American Military Industrial Complex. His Space X, Starlink, and the developing AI companies all should be seized and nationalized. They consolidate far too much power on a single human being. His role in shutting down Ukraine's defense is a prime example why individuals should not control that kind of power. He, felon, or both are responsible for every Ukrainian who died during Putin's brutal attacks on the civilian population. I believe their action is a war crime.

Our felon also used his wealth to avoid accountability, and his entry into politics shifted burden of defense onto his base, who now pays for it. He found a large population of fools, aka Republicans.

I'd settle for his deportation

..and confiscation of most of his properties.
