Is this legally crossing the line, or are we headed into full fascist statehood here?


Thoughts?

If that was the style of message pictured, I thought they need to be specific to lead to charges (like, "I'm going to go to your house and do X" and not "something bad should happen to you"). Otherwise, half of what's left of Twitter should be locked up because its a bunch of Nazis throwing around vague threats and wishing people harm. (Granted, twitter Nazis should probably be locked up anyway for society's and their sake anyway)

As long as the insurrectionist-in-chief goes free, logically any "free speech" is fine.

Logic has nothing to do with it of course: It's legally OK for the GQP to threaten people, but it's not OK to threaten the GQP. Plus if the roles were reversed, the outcome would be a foregone conclusion.

PS: I'm not suggesting that a comment like that should be weighed exactly the same depending on if some random person or a person with power and influence. People in offices of responsibility should be held to higher standards IMO.

Elmo is pissed his own bullshit is getting proved wrong by community notes...

Of course he's going to rig it to never disagree with him.


swasticar elmo sez:
"claiming without evidence that it’s being manipulated by governments and the media."

He's learned that from the syphilitic orange menace.
Blame everyone else when shit goes wrong.
It's a proven RWNJ tactic.

Without Musk, the shit going on right now would be half as bad. Still absolutely and astoundingly crazily bad, but yet somehow still half as bad.

That man is pure evil. At this point, it is impossible to distinguish who is more evil among a number of Trump party members, especially between Musk & Trump.

We should have a specific DOGE thread to put all the shittyness that appears from swasticar-elmo

Here's an article from the Daily Beast. Hopefully its accurate because when these guys claim 3 orders of magnitude high
(8 million to 8 billion), I have zero faith in their staff (I use that term lightly) being able to give an accurate report on
anything involving numbers.

Audits of companies take months or longer. This pea-brain ripping through the gov't with billions of dollars at stake in a few short weeks is just not possible

DOGE’s Shocking $8 Billion Dollar Mistake Called Out​



Dang, going for Judge's pre-Idiocracy work here!

I see that the expert db and Cobol engineer understands exactly how the government data works and how data that might be 100+ years old or fragmented and so missing birthdates should produce "errors". In what why should it produce an error? Who said that it doesn't? In one of the sources here it was mentioned that the issues are known but would cost between 5 to 10 million to fix and it was deemed not worth it. It's clear that the relevant data for people who actually receive data is verified seperatly. Are they supposed to halt everything until this data is fixed?
I don't have any answers, just questions. The biggest question is why anyone wouldn't want this looked at. If the system isn't working correctly it should be fixed, if it is working correctly and not producing errors then we move on.
The primary problem here seems to be that it's Musk looking into it.

Because it costs a lot of time and resources to go through these very basic systems, and if it's being corrected elsewhere with other data tables, why would you spend the millions of dollars to fix something that doesn't actually impact delivery of service? You think SSA just has a single table that decides who does or does not get a check?

Resource constraints exist in the real world and choices have to be made.

The primary problem is Musk is making a mess of everything, pointing at a single thing and effectively lying about it to his rube followers.

He does not know what he's doing and lies about almost everything is the problem.

Is this where we would use that new fangled expression, “JAQing off”?
